NSW AAGPS 2025 (banter and commentary)

[FrontLifter101]

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.

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

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.

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...

Anyone have the Scots 1st and 2nds team lists for the weekend?

There is no report yet about changes for 1sts and 2nds. From sources, the 3rds have had a bit of movement, so it will be good to see the boys on their home turf this weekend. From what I witnessed last weekend out at Parramatta, the 3's have great team chemistry and look like a bunch of boys who are there to play footy and put on a master class, so no matter the changes in any position, it should be a great game to watch this weekend.

@Joker, will the Scots boys be seeing you this weekend for a review on their pies?

I Believe that @The President Will be trying them for us.

I’m glad you enjoy the Northbridge pies. I’m keen for my next pie from the home of the Scotsmen, Bellevue Hill.

 

[Here for the advice]

Will any schools not play 1s or 2s with this rain? If so who would they be saving the grounds for……?

 

[The GroundsKeeper]

Who have shore dropped to fit Wendt in?

Hawke has gone back to the 2's with Dalmeida back onto the wing

 

[wisemaan]

Who have shore dropped to fit Wendt in?

Hawke. This was always going to happen. This is what the back line will look like full strength. Lethal.

10. Bassingthwaite
11. Dalmeida
12. Wendt
13. Francis
14. Hockey
15. Callaghan

 

[InsiderScoop]

Could it be a bid to make GPS 1st XV or am i mistaken and the team is in fact made prior to that round?

Leg

Teams will be picked that night.
Freddy Garling is a good substitute for him. Just needs to dominate the kicking a bit more.

Good to the Shore boys supporting their mates!

Best of luck boys. Try not to drown in the rucks.

 

[Rugbynbeers]

Would likely say most junior games and non competition senior games will be off this week.

my understanding with Kings is As and B teams plus 1st 2nds and maybe 3rds will get on.

 

[Balmain Subbies]

It's up to each hosting school to confirm if the grounds are suitable for use.....so we will all see

Waters got to be neck deep and swarming with sharks for a 1XV game to be called off…

Pretty sure a few games were postponed a few years back so not out of the question but yes, 1st & 2nds will always take priority

 

[wisemaan]

Will be a shame to see games cancelled. Hopefully weather holds off.

Something to take you back, Joker. Mike McClellan's Saturday Dance. I imagine they were still going when you were at ATC -
