NSW AAGPS 2024

[Goosestep]

Of all the really dumb things RA is doing, this is right at the top of the list. Imagine fixing your mindset on who the best 17 and 18 year olds are based on last season. Other than the select group based on form last year, no one has played a game yet this year. The games this team will play will be in September this year. Basically the geniuses at RA have deflated the motivation of boys before the season proper has started. They’ve said, we don’t care how you’ve trained over summer, we’ve got our team. Bad luck if you were injured last year, or a late developer. We’ve got our crew. If you are serious, best you head OS, league is an option for you as well. of course they say names will be added but few will be and I’d wager none will be deleted. The selectors are human, changing the mind for most is very difficult. We were already going too narrow too soon, this just makes that problem worse.

Classic Australian rugby move .. obsessed with reputation over merit … been happening for decades, nothings changed .

I think Gough from Joeys would be in contention as well

Gough is special, I know two NRL scouts who have Gough on their radar

 

[Ref_Ted]

Trials this weekend (may change).

Auggies have had a couple of games right? Will be a tough outing for View being their first. Think back to last year and how they looked v Barker in a first hit out was rusty to say the least.

Auggies also have a good side and some excellent players so take nothing away from them.

Intrested to see how Oakhill go. Auggies v Oakhill could be a belter in the ISA.

From ISA here any predictions on Views lineup to run out this Saturday at Pittwater rugby park against Augs?

[Crashy]

what is the nature of the injury?

 

[InsiderScoop]

what is the nature of the injury?

Possibly a broken hand?? He will return this year at some stage.

 

[GPSlads]

is that why joeys decided to have the scoreboard up?

unlike the Waverley one you just can’t “take down” the joeys scoreboard.

Who is Thomas Hartman?

 

[UpnUnder]

He plays as the Left Winger for Ignatius, now in his second year on the 1st XV squad. Furthermore, I believe he has represented NSW in the U16 Waratahs, but i am not certain.

No, that was Tom Hartman.

So…….what did I miss?

Recent news out of hunters hill, Dubbo prospect no.3 Chris Quinn has reportedly been tearing it up at training and the internals on the weekends, including a cracker game against barker. Gen Blue selectors have given him a call and will be further looked at for the upcoming season. Could be a lethal duo with no.8 Justice Taumoepeau and in the gen blue later this year.

So I gather not much has happened. Still getting these nonsense posts. So old….

Is Conor Dempsey related to Jack?
Apologies if asked before

Think InsiderScoop may be more across it than I.

It will be interesting to see how Scots fare against Cranbrook this weekend, while it's only a training match, it still makes for a great rivarly. I'm hearing that they're matching each team with Cranbrook (which is insane given the gap in skills in the lower opens of CAS). Assuming Scots will run over all Cranbrook, will be interesting.
