NSW AAGPS 2025

Hannon was outstanding in the 2XV on Saturday, had the ball on a string and controlled the game well. I will be astonished if he isn't in the 1XV this weekend. Although the Joeys 1XV won I'd say their backline was one of the clunkiest I've seen produced in years. Thoughts?

P&D

Keeping it real somewhat, whilst he did have a great game, it's hard not to look outstanding when your team dominates by such a huge margin. Different discussion if he's doing this against much stronger teams week in/week out.

It will be exciting to watch Wendt (E) play this week. Only making the one trial game appearance in 2024 then tearing his ACL, he was almost a lock to play 1st XV in 2024. He was brilliant in restricted minutes for the 2nd XV last week and I'm sure he will carry this form over.

He was very enjoyable to watch in the 2s and a very nice meat pie in the corner too. Reminds me of Callaghan...

Thoughts on King at 10 against View last week? I thought he did well.

Watched the game on streamer - thought he was outstanding at 10. Controlled the game well and always looked dangerous.

I think the reason his team won by so much was because of him. His X-Factor with the ball, paired with his playmaking, speed and agility lead to him being a real threat and leading SJC to what was a convincing victory

Any update on the functionality of the AAGPS website?

News out of Newington is that Makasini will not be playing 1st this week and will do dropped to the 2XV as last week he chose Rugby Leauge instead of playing round 1 of the GPS. Massive news for Newington here as they dont want to change there winning round 1 team.

@Joker, what are your predictions for the Joeys v Newington game? I'd love to hear your take after the big news of Makasini playing in the 2s. Both teams are coming off great wins on Saturday.

Regards, bs21

It's hitting the fan in the 16s thread.....

I'd almost argue it is harder to stand out in a side dominating as much as they were. Definetley think the domination was off the back of him though, and if he wasn't on the field the scoreline would have no doubt been a lot closer.

 

[Joker]

Well said, we would love to hear your take on the matter @Joker as an avid Joe Boar advocator

I will give it a go again. Takes a lot out of me as my typing dexterity has started to desert me like a fickle Swans fan.

The number 10 and 12 changed. I beleive Keone, and Jarryd. Do you think that will change when Heamasi will come back?

 

[Rookie21]

Last I heard Bassingthwaighte is round 6 (correct me if I am wrong), and Callaghan is potentially this weekend but most likely will not return until next week.

Round 6 is a rough wait. Callaghan will be huge, though. What was Jai's injury?

 

[BigScrum21]

Any news coming out of Scots this week as of yet?

Ankle related, not exactly sure what.

Hey Warwick. Good to see you mate

Hi Joker,
Good to be back. I’ll try and catch up on all the chat in the next few days - this rain is killing me.
Let me know when you need a catstrangler

Is this makasini dropping potentially due to him favouring west tigers over newington or poor form

This was the only list i had acces to

Is that Tom Bull’s son listed at 4?

 

[The Cleaner]

This is not a rumour or a joke. Makasini will genuinely be walking out with the 2nd XV on Saturday. Part of Newingtons new 'nobody is above the team' style of playing. Hopefully he will be back for round three.

They forgot to mention the part “Makasini will start with NC’s 2nd XV team but will back up for the 1st XV team”

Sorry, I don't think it's going to be that easy.

For example, on the weekend, Riverview 16Bs played Grammar 16A and the 16Cs played New 16B. I don't have exact scores, but both won by large margins. Similar arrangements in the other junior grades.

For reference, the View 16As played New and won by 49-5, 16Ds played New 16Cs and won 36-5, and View 15Gs played the New 15Cs and had a win, I believe.
