NSW AAGPS 2025

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Joeys 2nds are red hot when you consider they are mostly made up of 3rds players who are not wasting the chance to impress.

SJC 13A's are an unusual team as they have never played as a team before. Joeys has no Prep school.
I put this result down to the decline of rugby at Knox. especially in the Prep School where once they dominated.

As a NSWCIS selector and coach I would see Knox dominate this rep team. Now, not so much.
Now Knox are lucky to get two teams when they used to have a 5ths in Knox Prep.
This of course filters through to year 7. Such a shame.

Similar for View at least back a few years. Prep only had 1 maybe 2 sides so year 7 was the intake.

Very strange and not a good sign although very young. I remember Knox, Waverley being almost impossible to beat at that age and then around the 15s you had their number.

The 2nds result is a concern tbh. They were one of the other schools that could trial a good 2nds. Have to acknowledge Joeys probably have a very good 2nds though.

Apparently Grammar 1’s lost 81 - 0 vs Joeys 3rds. Surprising given Grammar have generally been able to compete in the 3’s comp. A bad year or a trend?

Very weak year but last year was the best age group for some time. However there are very few players in Years 7 and 8 so potentially the start of a trend. Years 9-11 have some strength and depth so the next few years will be better than this one but the long term is a concern.

Pretty much all the results now submitted.
Think this filter setting should show all the opens down to 3rds.

settle please gents or I bring out the hammer.

 

[Here for the advice]

Bring on round one - plenty of CAS vs GPS trials to work the kinks out - let’s hope the coaches have a view on squads and anyone carrying an injury pep up for selection.
Stock those canteens and BBQ’s !

Jeez the knox s&c program has to be best in the country. Year on year the 15s are weak and then presto, the next year’s 16as are strong. Congrats knox.

Knox I am told have a massive yr 10 intake with some very desirable students included. Like Joeys many parents do not have the funds for 7-12 so 10-12 works for them.

Some big selection headaches at Joeys! Finn Hannon is maturing well. Who was blonde haired #7 in Joeys 2XV yesterday please?

Aga-Petos, O Large, Lemoto. All out.

Lemoto is fit to play, bit dusty after his getaway. Large shouldn't be far behind him. Not sure about Petos. Nonetheless, plenty of size/skill on the sideline for Scots.

True, Waves too missing their usual front row (scrum still killed it) and gun centre yesterday.

Will be better when they return this week.

It was a tough day but some of the lower age games were more competitive that the score suggests eg the 14s played with 13 players against a squad of 20+ and it was 7 all for most of the first half. 16Bs played short for large parts of the game too.

I don’t know but apparently he is in Year 10 as well as Hannon.

Any space left in the tipping comp Joker?

TIPPING COMPETITION.
16 spots left!

For those new here I hope this explains how the tipping works

With only three games each week I created a system where players can score more points not on just who wins

This is achieved by using margins.
Various margins are worth points.

Points break down.
Lose- 0
Win- 3 points if your margin is BELOW +5 of the final score
Win- 5 points if your margin is ABOVE and WITHIN the +5
Win- 10 points you pick the margin exactly

DRAW- If you select a draw 20 points

Here is this in action.

Game is Scots College v Sydney Boys High

Final result
Scots 10 High 32
Winning margin +22 to High

The following chose the following. Here is how they scored

Camembert - Picked Scots +25 0 points

Guppy- Picked High +10 3 points (win but below the margin)

Muppet- Picked High +26 5 points (win and within +5 of the margin)

Fluke- Picked High +22 10 points (win with the exact margin)

These margins come in handy as you can run down leaders or make a break. Plus is you fail to get your tips in you are given by default the away teams with no margin.

Tips are taken by PUBLISHING them here with a post. I will endeavor to have them added by 3:15pm on Saturday.

NO TIPS are accepted after this time.

You may wish to message me as well.

TIPPING comp entries close if limit is reached or FRIDAY 16 May @5pm .

Can I pls ask that you set up a separate thread for the tipping comp. It’s tough on the rest of us who have to get through pages of tipping posts that is irrelevant to those not in the tipping comp.

Tough on the rest of us?

I agree a new thread is the best way to deal with the tipping comp. Those lurkers can still access it on a new thread.
