NSW AAGPS 2025

Thank you

Two Blues would be strong (assuming they get their league players to play) and I suspect Gordon will also be strong (notwithstanding they may lose some to school programs).

From u15s and up, the Two Blues really struggle. They all end up going to league and committing their from what I have seen in recent years.

@Joker Count me in for the tipping comp please.

Any predictions for Scots or Newington's round 1 lineups?

@Joker Count Wiseman in for the tipping comp please!

Also my Pre-game reviews will be back again this season for those that enjoyed them last. Occasional post-game reviews aswell.

Pope Francis was a well-known admirer of rugby, particularly for its themes of teamwork, loyalty, and respect. He has praised the sport's "loyalty and respect" and likened it to a metaphor for life, highlighting the need to work together towards a common goal. He has also spoken about the physicality of the game, acknowledging that it requires "running together and passing the ball".

RIP. Papa

I will do my best. My health will decide how much I can do.
This old badger is slowing down.

Can you add me in @Joker.
I can safely predict I can do no worse than last season, can’t be worse than last.

• Sorry for any miss spellings
• Galligan not Captain of Rugby (Just captain as of now) He very well may be but from what I’ve heard it hasn’t been decided
• Still a few missing gaps with some players still out, but with players starting to return this team is starting to take place

Big movements within 2s and 3s as of know aswell, I’ll get to that soon.

Yours in sporting reason, a sane observer

@wisemaan @The Chairman any predictions for the 3 teams?

 

[footyhead10]

Where is jai callaghan??

 

[wisemaan]

Don’t quote me on this but I believe his league team has progressed so will be away for another week and therefore missing Lennox. Regardless of this I think he has injured his ankle and he will be back for the game against Barker… Get ready!

 

[The Observer]

@wisemaan apart from Callaghan and obviously a long term injury to Bassingthwaite, who is to return for this team? Also do you think Hamilford deserves an opportunity?

 

[wisemaan]

So yes obviously those 2 which would make a huge difference, I don’t think there is anyone else. As for Hamilford, there are many over him I reckon.

 

[The President]

Put me down for the tipping comp @Joker

 

[The President]

Any news on the ETA of Bassingthwaighte @wisemaan ?

 

[wisemaan]

Ball park. From around round 4 to 6 from the chatter I've heard.

Any predictions for Scots or Newington's round 1 lineups?

Scots may have some changes due to injuries in the pre season

 

[The Front Rower]

I believe that Mosman didn't field a team in the gala trials.

I also heard that Newport have asked for C grade as all their Barker and Auggies star players are no longer playing club rugby.

Its incredibly hard at 16 age group and above to play both club and school. It takes it toll on the bodies. The game is much faster than what it was say 10-20 years ago and the bodies bigger, stronger and faster which means the collisions are much more powerful thus they have to pick either school or club, and school gets the nod.

 

[Crashy]

thats why the game simply has to get into the schools where they dont play Saturday sport.
