NSW AAGPS 2024

[Dr Riding]

Given the likes of Knox and Barker have taken to running out their 2's in the second half to avoid a total blowout I'd expect View 3's to probably be too high a level as well unfortunately. Be good to see them turn it around similar to Shore but they've been very public in the view against 'investing' in sporting team development. No one can compete fairly on this tilted playing board these days.

Nice attempt at a euphemism there. Yes, we are all aware that aloys has been very poor in recent years, ill be the first too admit but. But this year, do not write off the blue and gold. They would demolish view 3s.

 

[Nevergiveup]

That's huge if true. Sad for him as well. When did it happen?

I expected him to be in the NSWU18s teams v QLD just gone that had a number of last years 16s.

All of the league boys were excluded from the recent NSW u18s teams

All of the league boys were excluded from the recent NSW u18s teams

Brial, Walsh included and were involved with Harold Matthew’s.

Firstly, no?

Secondly, I believe he has been playing with an ankle injury a lot (probably through league) & it's gotten to a point where he needs surgery. Apparently, he could play with it for this season, and debated doing so, but chose the right choice to get the surgery and rehab out of the way now.

New backlines could be: (names in bold could be swapped around between the teams)

Most likely: (in my opinion)

12: Fittler. 12: Max Laverty
13: Jaques 13: Fittler
15: Will Johnson. 15: Jaques

Maybe?

12: Mark Nikas
13: Fittler
15: Jaques


Surely not: (slightest chance)

12: Heinz Lemoto
13: Fittler
15: Jaques


I probably forgot a lot of people. Don't know everyone.

Thanks for the info. Shame for the kid. Enormous talent.

Heinz certainly played in the centres a few years back.

Heinz certainly played in the centres a few years back.

Heinz at 12 is a scary thought. a Heinz, Fittler combination takes me back to the Moeroa, Milne Newngton combination which was lethal in their premierships in 2012 and 2013(joint with Scots)

 

[rugboy]

If true, this is a large loss for Scots (pun intended). Not to make light of it though- I’d rate him as the best U17 back in the country that I have seen.

Agree, and I don't think anyone else is close.

Poor bloke.

 

[Agent]

You should know better than engage Ghost

Agreed. It’s been about 12 months since the last Aloys expert started singing their praises all over the GPS thread. It lasted about 4 days before that customer was banned. Someone always takes the bait and this time it was @Ghost.

 

[footyfooty footy footy]

Who is everyone playing in their Trial games?

 

[Game_Day_Ritual]

Brial, Walsh included and were involved with Harold Matthew’s.

Brial and Walsh no longer play league.

 

[Grip 'n Rip]

Good day all.

Exciting times as internal trails roll around and we see who are the up and coming dawgs of each school.

Any intel on the younger sides from schools?
I have heard kings 16's will be a strong team, excited to see if it's true!

Expect the top talent from the Kings 16s to play up in Opens as a pretty weak talent pool in classes ‘24 and ‘25.

 

[NotAlwaysCorrectAdam]

Any intel regarding the talent in king's lower open teams?

 

[Hotsauce11]

Anyone have any info on the best trial matches to watch ?

Walsh has been training with Tahs top squad in the attempt to keep him in the sport.

What position does Walsh play again?

What position does Walsh play again?

Will play 10 for Augs. He has played 12,15 in GenBlue.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Good. Very good player so that’s good to hear.

People are critical but Rugby is doing its best over the last 5 years in retention.

I’d rather them call Jude Gibbs up for a Tahs pre-season who has gone through a couple seasons in the shute shield.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

If the Tahs needed cover for Edmed, Bowen & Harrison when he’s back it won’t be Walsh getting the call up. It will be someone like Gibbs.

Plenty of Shute Shield players were involved in Tahs pre season who won’t see a minute in an ideal world. Including the FT squad 50+ would have been involved at some stage.

Pretty common for the top age group players to train with pro squads in a lot of sports. Costs nothing but gets you front and centre in their mind.
