Without addressing any other pros/cons of the shore side, I want to address the front row.
I counted 4+ penalties given away by Shore off scrums, and I am sure there was more. The size difference compared to the Barker front row was obvious once they stood side by side, and even more obvious in the scrums and malls.
I am going to be harsh - but I think fair… Green must go, the hooker must go (I don’t have a name).
For me, Jarrett proved his worth in this game and has solidified his position. This creates a juggle for the other prop position - between Armati and Hamilton. Both incredible players that both deserve the position, and have that size boost they need - especially with Armati.
Thirds look promising as well for SHORE. many boys pushing for 2s spots. SHORE looks to have quite good depth early on this year...I believe shore might be holding onto some depth into the 2 XV. Not sure about the 3XV as defending premiers.
Kings 1sts v Trinity 1sts 26-7Does anyone have the results from the King's 1st, 2nd, 3rd XV on the weekend?
No……Denver Purdon played 13. Scored a try on full time as well.anyone catch kings vs trinity.
Thomas played 13 I believe, it was his first game back.
In 2023 Joeys U16 had 5 play in opens and 3 of the best forwards miss the entire season or close to it with injury.U16s - does it provide much colour two years on for Opens? With fellas developing, injuries new joiners and the year below playing in Opens as well.
The U16’s in 2023 when very few from the schools played up in opens (maybe joeys had a couple and view). The table below: View on top of both A/B’s and the rest super close except New’s B and Kings dominated U15’s.
When teams announced would be good to see where they came through the ranks! wonder if any moved from B’s or below to 1s! I am sure there are a few.View attachment 21743
