NSW AAGPS 2025 (banter and commentary)

For Rucksake

I heard that he is trying to come back last round this term. Personally, i don’t see the point in that risking one game when he can get valuable recovery time during the break.
Well said.

Also depends on how Shore is going. If it is a must win game, I wouldn't be surprised to see Bassingthwaite back in the No.10 before the end of the term.

Currently as it stands the predicted lineup according to my Scots sources. A gun front row packing some size ready for shore this weekend. As for the backs, superstar Harry Capell ready to put his electric play and agility to use against Shore.
What changes have been made compared to last week?

Shore + 5

SJC + 14

Riverview + 3

The conditions prove ideal for Riverview's form last year, backing the underdogs.

Apologies. The 2025 Tipping Competition is limited to 45 entries. This closed some time ago.
Feel free though to post in the Tipping thread and play along and see how you go.
Best wishes

Is anyone giving View a chance this week @ Kings?
I am. I have seen View slip and slide to get results in the worst weather. No better mud runners.
White will be fine but still very slippery. IF I was tipping I would chose View by 5

Fun fact: Kings lineout has been 100% successful in the last 3 weeks.
It will be interesting to see how they fare against the altitudinous Galligan of SHORE. Will be an interesting matchup for sure, and I think defense recovery will be the key characteristic to watch out for.

More pertinently, i would appreciate some originality in the usernames. These days we are recieving too much generic slop, have some originality! Most of you are bored schoolboys, have you anything better to do than brainstorm some slightly more entertaining and original names! blimey.

Especially with Shores maul, I would love to see that.

Galligan sure is adding some interesting stuff to shores lineouts, and definitely is a contender to make GPS 1. Another Shore boy coming from surprise is Frape. After watching the Barker vs Shore replay, i couldn't help but notice his hard and aggressive ball carrying skills, running into anything that came is way. Defensively he is extremely strong, making very solid tackles stopping defenders with ease. Last week against Joeys was still a good game but was missing his aggressive running as playing on the edge. Would love to see Frape back in fire this week against Scots. It will be a great game

I dare say it, the result this weekend for Shore could ultimately decide how quick they need him back, most games may become a must win if they come out with 2 early losses.

The 'Galtitude' is quickly becoming the standard for GPS lineouts...
