No chanceOr Shore or Newington.
Huge callI reckon the gps winners next year will be joeys Scot’s view or kings
How does Newington have 'no chance'? With winning the 16A's with Kings and coming joint second in the 1st's comp this year, I think Newington will be one of the favorites bud.No chance
Kings will be incredibly strong. They have a strong cohort building since the 13A team. Joeys will always challenge as well.I reckon the gps winners next year will be joeys Scot’s view or kings
They won the 16a prem because Scot’s have fitttler brial and jacques in opens. However they do have some good players in this age group but I can’t see them winning a premiership without a good leader or very good 9,10,15How does Newington have 'no chance'?

Koby Owen 9 (u16's last year), Matt Humphries 10 (2nds and u16's gen blue), tom-farr jones 15 (2nds and u16's gen blue) or toby rodwell 15 (u16's) Pretty sure they will do just fine.They won the 16a prem because Scot’s have fitttler brial and jacques in opens.

Geeeze Joker you dropped the ball on this one.....all puns intended. You also forgot young Henari Veratua 2001..........No. These lads were already signed up to NRL clubs before coming to Scots. Please name one player who played rugby exclusively all his life at Scots and then played NRL after leaving school. I am most happy to be corrected.
NOTE- Thomas Yassmin scored a touchdown for Utah State University this past weekend. He may be inline to be drafted to the NFL.
Yawn, please refer to my thoughts on the last 3 years of this feed as to how unimportant winning the 16As is for making a successful 1XV the following yearHow does Newington have 'no chance'?

You're making a big generalization from just 3 years, but please continue on your tangent about how irrelevant the 16a's comp is for the following senior years.Yawn, please refer to my thoughts on the last 3 years of this feed as to how unimportant winning the 16As is for making a successful 1XV the following year
Ah Dusky my good man, I am not talking about the last 3 years of competition, I am talking the last 3 years of chatter on the AAGPS channel. My data base goes from about 1992 onward and having played and coached the 16As it hold little importance to a GPS chocy chipYou're making a big generalization from just 3 years, but please continue on your tangent about how irrelevant the 16a's comp is for the following senior years.
Good to see three Scots boys selected. It will be very interesting to watch them develop over the next few years, these boys will ultimately shape the Scots 1XV in the next 2 years.Rugby Australia has selected the most promising U16 Australian Male Rugby players to join a Development Camp on the the Gold Coast, 9-12 December.
Just noticed Riverview is the only GPS team to not be represented in this team. Is this a sign of a weak age group? How does everyone think the boys from lane cove are looking for the next few years? They have some good players returning next year like the 10 and the wing.Rugby Australia has selected the most promising U16 Australian Male Rugby players to join a Development Camp on the the Gold Coast, 9-12 December.

I think as you point out Riverview will have a couple of very good players but may be let down by a lack of 15-201st XV strength players. Which is what you need to win the comp and even more so going to 2 rounds.Just noticed Riverview is the only GPS team to not be represented in this team. Is this a sign of a weak age group?

It varies enormously, some 16As will be springboards for GPS priernierships.Other not likely.In my experience having observed various teams, it is dependent on how two age groups blend together.Additionally the depth each age group possesses.As well, Between 16-18 years boys can undergo enormous personal growth. Equally, some can stop growing at 15 and 16. But generally, speaking a strong16A side will be the basis for strong 1st XV, two years later.Ah Dusky my good man, I am not talking about the last 3 years of competition, I am talking the last 3 years of chatter on the AAGPS channel.

Basing your assessment on just two players is a bit superficial.This has been a strong Newington age group since the 13s and will continue to improve into the opens .Their success is due to excellent teamwork. In executing great support play as a playing group.So although Balmain Stubbies, is very much the proud supporter of their stars as individual players. I feel that Newington team cohesion, makes them potentially, the better team. As for having players in the opens and and using it, as excuses for losing, misses my point on team work. I know Newington A and Bs tend to train as as squads. With the intention of offsetting players that are missing.They won the 16a prem because Scot’s have fitttler brial and jacques in opens. However they do have some good players in this age group but I can’t see them winning a premiership without a good leader or very good 9,10,15
