Just throwing it out there for discussion, who do you reckon are the top 5 players the GPS system has ever produced? Based on their schoolboy careers, professional success, or impact on the game, however you want to judge it. Would love to hear different takes from across the generations.

Cheers,
D.F

1. Kalyn Ponga (ACGS) - his highlight reel speaks for itself. He is without a doubt the best player GPS has ever seen.
2. Micheal Lynagh (GT) - For the younger generation, Lynagh was a player with the most sublime handling skills, coupled with a precision kicking game, acceleration and a perfect boot lace tackling technique. And he also kicked goals. He had vision and was ice cool under pressure, as emphasised when he called the last minute, winning backline play in the 1991 World Cup quarter final to prevent the upset of the century after Ireland had led the Wallabies. That was Michael Lynagh. He was simply the best.
3. Quade Cooper (ACGS) - One of the most skillful footballers of all time, he is a walking highlight reel and was part of a fantastic team with Pocock in 2007
4. James O'Connor (NC) - Imagine playing wallabies a year after graduating from school. Amazing feat for an amazing player.
5. Harry Wilson (GT) - Robust backrower who rose quickly post school into the Queensland and Australian systems. Originally a NSW country kid, Terrace’s first sporting love at Terrace was cricket. Indeed he was a batsman capable of plundering quick runs, but now uses his power game in rugby.

HM:
Fraser Mc'Reight (BGS) - Is the best flanker in the world at the moment if we are counting Ardie Savea as an 8. He is a wonderful person and player.

That sounds like a cracker!! Anyone know when this will occur?

Also is there anywhere to stream GPS trial games or can it only be for season games?

I believe during BGS bye round which i think is round 1 of the GPS season (don't know if Grammar will play a full side, risking any injuries before the season)

He'll have a great impact while he sits on the bench watching Hugh the 'Puppy' Devine carve up in the GT number 10 jersey. Clifford will be lucky to see any minutes this year.

Hey footy baby.

I was taking two criteria into account for this list
1. Schoolboy performance
2. Achievements to the current day


Howarth at school is the second best back ever, behind Ponga.
However, he is still developing in the NRL. He is a great player but is inconsistent and lacks the X-Factor that players like Ponga, Cooper, lynagh, O'Connor and Wilson have.

Sorry mate.

God I miss seeing The Light Dark Blue playing on R.A Henderson Oval aka 'The Snake Pit'. Use to be one of the best grounds in the comp.

Great atmosphere around this oval, old boys sipping on tins on the balconies before the great school became modernized. Would love to see a GPS game there this season or in the near future.

God can we remove all of this LEAGUE waffle no one cares about you after school unless you've gone into the super rugby path. Like honestly, you're as soft as your grandpa down under if you're scared of a bit of true union bif.

Yeah cheers Dale.
I remember those days champ. Mate i'll tell ya, instead of water in those bottles it was golden nectar, straight from the factory up the road at milton. When the body starts to ache the head is throbbing and the hands are on hips. The only thing that kept the troops going was that golden mango juice mate.

Signing out, Cliffo.4.X.
