What does everyone believe will be the the backline for nsw? then i shall add my input where necessary
I thought he played well on the weekend but I tend to agree he would be bench at best. If the selectors follow the form of the GPS selectors, he wasn't deemed good enough to make the starting Presidents B team. This I think was a bit tough.
But give credit to the boys selected above him in the Presidents B team. The likes of Duval and Brown played well in a tight 5 who managed a load of work in the tight and also the loose!
I notice the Newington "Cheer squad" have been quiet on backline selections. I thought the Presidents A backline selections were on the mark.
@Backline Move, it seemed as though Douglas was originally announced at 5 for ISA. Did they switch him into 8 in place of Manu? If so, do you know why?
I am sure this will be no way near the mark.. As horse trading continues however here is my NSW team for what its worth.

Thoughts?
Harry Wilson and lussick didn't even make ISA. Are sure you missed any other Rugby League players. Good to see u watching very constructive as usual.
Boys who play at the NSW Schools trials and who also play club rugby and are selected into regional teams/Baa baas, are eligible to be selected by either Schools for NSW Schools u16s or by SJRU for Syd u16s (or by CJRU for Country U16s where applicable). As part of any uneasy truce b/w the tribes, they take it in turn to select boys who may be on both lists (SJRU gets first pick this year). So the Syd team must be selected following Regionals, and any necessary horse trading undertaken, before NSW schools can be announced.
This used to be a bigger issue when there was a national U16s champs as many of the top school boys continued with Club rugby at u16s level and there were a number on each list. Fewer now choose to stay on both paths. I understand from GGR snouts that last year there was only 1 boy on both SJRU and Schools' lists. Query whether if there was no one on the Schools' list who was also playing at the Regionals, Schools would be able to announce soon after the trials.
So who are the boys doing both?
Fairly sure it is Schools that have 1st pick this year.Boys who play at the NSW Schools trials and who also play club rugby and are selected into regional teams/Baa baas, are eligible to be selected by either Schools for NSW Schools u16s or by SJRU for Syd u16s (or by CJRU for Country U16s where applicable).

Last year there was only 1 common player and he went to SJRU (ie they had 1st pick)
Turner wasn't a reserve and he was only common player.CNP is correct. It was the other way was selected for Sydney then withdrew for NSW Schools. A reserve from memory

Devine slipped thru as was common between NSWJRU U15 team and Schools u16's. As the NSW u15's were to compete in the u16 NSW Invitational he was suddenly in conflict (which hadn't occurred before). He then had to withdraw from one.I was referring to Kyle Devine ISA and MSZ
