NSW AAGPS 2025 (banter and commentary)

[AUFan]

It is more likely that team selections for schools 1 & 2, Sydney and Country were judged on merit, based solely on the performance and attitude at the trial games. Gen Blue is a season wide selection.

There is much discussion around identifying talent at a young age and sticking regardless of performance in specific trials. I believe selection methodology has been correct this season for the U16 & U18, the players need to bring there best individual & team oriented performance every time they run out if they hope to be selected.

Australian Schools & Junior Rugby Championships - Sunshine Coast, 2025

Thread for anyone following the ASJRC on the Sunshine Coast. I know there are a number of top guys not playing from NSW at this tournament which is a shame but it is what it is. I like the fact we are at least seeing NSW and QLD sides go against the other States again and not just each other...

Iv'e made a thread for the games on the Sunshine Coast to not make this one more of a convoluted mess.

What a cracka 20s game that was!

Hopefully shows some people we are clearly up for it and developing juniors, yes the massive loss to springboks but that just came down to not showing up and being ready.

Quiet......

 

[Comeonmate]

who have the standouts being from this comp so far ?

Kings and View at the top
Shore, the forgotten team like always, wooden spoon, "the defeated"
Joeys and New battle it out for the unwanted 3rd place

 

[ifeellikesomefootyitstrue]

Bit unfair to Joeys and particularly new to say they are battling for third... All it takes is for kings and view to drop a game and they are right back in it.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Joeys and New are still alive. Win out and control your destiny.

Whilst Kings sit pretty I reckon the holidays were the last thing they wanted. Team seemed to be starting to hum along.

 

[Comeonmate]

View doesn't deserve to be at the top, Joeys and possibly Scots can take over.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Intrested as to why they done "deserve it"? These aren't subjective rankings, they are based purely of results at this point in time.

Feel free to do a power ranking if you like.

 

[Comeonmate]

1. Kings.
2. Newington.
3. Joeys.
4. Scots.
5. View.
6. Shore.

Kings has also lost Sawyer and possibly their jumper Perret. They get their superstar in Risati back though. Anyone’s game still.

 

[Rugbynbeers]

loss of sawyer guess you just slot Risati straight back in, Perret though not sure who they would bring up to fill his jumping role.

shame these injuries leading into the biggest game for a rugby season in a couple years, View v Kings at the swamp.

Someone forgot Joeys v Shore last year...

Someone forgot Joeys v Shore last year...

Apologies, I stand corrected!

however I’m thinking this game will be close to joeys vs view and kings vs Scot’s in 2018 levels.

Did someone say Joeys v View 2018....lets live that moment again.

Shore certainly haven't been able to repeat their amazing form from last year but have had a rotten run with injuries. Hopefully players like Rex Bass, Callaghan, Galligan etc can return from injury this term and cause some headaches for other teams in the back end of the comp.

Shore only repeat seasons like last year every 50 years or so.

@Joker It would be great if we could get threads up this year for AAGPS summer sports such as rowing and cricket. I know there are a lot of members of the community interested. How do we go about this? is it possible?

 

[moa999]

How do we go about this? is it possible?

Won't happen. This is a rugby forum. Rowing threads have been previously deleted.

As it is some of the mods are seemingly at about the end of their tether with some of the goings on in the schoolboys section this year.

Dramatic cinema, from post falling down to old boys throwing punches….

probably one of the greatest days for schoolboy rugby those two games
