Interesting. Makes me wonder about about how thin they are on players overall. They were fairly firm at the beginning that it was for established pros to start a comp at a good standard. They would then fill from sports like League. If they are in fact going after kids I think the hand of cards they hold isn't as strong as they'd like to make out.
Will never blame an athlete for getting the maximum return though. Sport is one of the only careers where outside noise put expectation on strangers to act in your personal supporters best interest.
Agents can rot though. Scummy humans who are just barnacles on others efforts.

Predicted team lists for 2026? (Obviously very early)

As of now, it's too early to predict specific team lists for 2026. Team compositions will depend on player performances, injuries, retirements, and emerging talents over the next few years. National teams will also finalize their squads closer to the event, based on qualifiers and other competitions leading up to 2026. Keep an eye on player development and international tournaments for better predictions as the date approaches!

Assuming you are meaning 2026 GPS teams?

Kings will have a few returning which makes equation easier
Front row Blomfield, Smith, Matthews
2nd Row Basten
Back row Durbridge, 7, maybe Kable but that’ll be two smalls on the side
9 either the 2s from this year or Makoto. Both need to add power to pass.
10. Probably Taylor but I’d love Risati.
centres Strong and Platis. Size but need to spend some time with Gav on speed work.
Outside backs Anwar is a lock, others? Not sure where Risati lands but the adage of getting the ball into the hands of your best player often applies. I’d prefer Taylor at 15.

Risati needs to be in the 10 or preferably 15. He could play in the Centres at this this level which can be effective with the amount of 1v1 situations that position get themselves.
I say preferably 15 because of the space a Fullback gets in comparison to 10s who are being chased by good backrowers. We saw so much good counterattack last year from Fullbacks.

Agree on 15 for Risati. One of his strengths is running with the space around him.

Non GPS related but any thoughts on the hybrid rugby/league match between Barker College and St Gregs Campbelltown held this Wednesday.
Could we potentially see this coming to the GPS??

The Kings School
At Kings he played two seasons in both the 1st XI and the 1st XV. White also represented Combined GPS in each sport.
He was a member of the 1951 AAGPS rugby premiership winning team.
Saxon White was a stylish centre who was one of the first choice midfielders in the mid-to-late 1950s however his career was blighted by injury. White had great handling skills and was a beautifully balanced runner with the ball in hand. He had the rare ability to beat his opposing number both on the inside and on the outside. He was also a very unselfish player who set up his outside backs with many scoring opportunities.
