NSW AAGPS 2025

[The Observer]

Galligan sure is adding some interesting stuff to shores lineouts, and definitely is a contender to make GPS 1. Another Shore boy coming from surprise is Frape. After watching the Barker vs Shore replay, i couldn't help but notice his hard and aggressive ball carrying skills, running into anything that came is way. Defensively he is extremely strong, making very solid tackles stopping defenders with ease. Last week against Joeys was still a good game but was missing his aggressive running as playing on the edge. Would love to see Frape back in fire this week against Scots. It will be a great game

Good to the Shore boys supporting their mates!

Would likely say most junior games and non competition senior games will be off this week.

my understanding with Kings is As and B teams plus 1st 2nds and maybe 3rds will get on.

 

[Balmain Subbies]

It's up to each hosting school to confirm if the grounds are suitable for use.....so we will all see

 

[twister29]

Will any schools not play 1s or 2s with this rain? If so who would they be saving the grounds for……?

Waters got to be neck deep and swarming with sharks for a 1XV game to be called off…

Pretty sure a few games were postponed a few years back so not out of the question but yes, 1st & 2nds will always take priority

Will be a shame to see games cancelled. Hopefully weather holds off.

Rumour has it that Shore front row have been doing training with the navy….

Armidale Teachers College. Damn they were good years

Something to take you back, Joker. Mike McClellan's Saturday Dance. I imagine they were still going when you were at ATC -

For the teams playing on council grounds, you would expect those games to be called off unfortunately. Luckily this only the case for teams playing Scot’s. Would be unprecedented to see 1st, 2nds, 3rds and even 16as to be called off these day. Hopefully the weather subdued and we get a good weekend of footy

rumour in: 2 XV fowardman Latham will potentially get a Run for New 1st XV as Villamu and Shieck expected to continue to be out. Heard this boys had some deadly intercepts for a foward. Any thoughts?

Regards Scrummie

 

[brick-with-eyes]

Heard julian minto has been playing well and might get a run in the centres, is there any truth behind these whispers?

I think it's rather funny/sad that some, and only some, GPS posters luv having a crack at this Scots over indulgence ,no doubt it is very much in your face, but to be honest so is much of the AAGPS stance about playing a 2 round comp against each other, very elitist for such a tiny comp, AND this is NOT the history of the AAGPS comp, it has nearly always been a 1 round comp.
The CAS thread has been blocked by the Joker/Mods for very good reasons, too may idiots posting, and there are several boys also clearly posting on the AAGPS thread. I hope and expect that the CAS thread will be open tomorrow, Friday, prior to this Saturdays games.

Hawke. This was always going to happen. This is what the back line will look like full strength. Lethal.

9. Stracham
10. Bassingthwaite
11. Dalmeida
12. Wendt
13. Francis
14. Hockey
15. Callaghan

Repuational backline……try a form backline

the 3rd XV have Newington on it, I assume it is a mistake and it is just the same team?

Extremely unlikely, cant remember a school cancelling their ones in recent years.

[The 6 Seat]

It is absolutely monstering down. My heary goes out to the Scots groundsmen. Last years slip and slide seems keen to return.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Riverview and Shore played a mid week game last year? Weather related?
