NSW AAGPS 2022

[AAGPSSUPPORTER]

The talk is Eddie Jones is looking for another gig. An educator and a professional rugby coach. What college will be first to sign him? With the rumoured pay packets, the schools/college's could afford his services.
Joeys x
Kings ?
Shore x
Riverview ?
Scots ?
Newington x

 

[dontforgetthewingers]

Shore vs Scots should be a cracker of a game this weekend with shore hungry for their third consecutive with and Scots looking to hit back after their tough loss to kings. Have heard that shores hooker Cam Johns will be out this weekend which is a huge loss as he has made a massive impact on their recent success. Should be a great day out at bellevue hill and can’t wait to see the end result. Shore by 3

Oh really, that's a real bummer for the young hooker. Thought he has been one of the best hookers all season throughout the GPS comp and I really wanted to see the match-up between Cam Johns and Will Guilfoyle this weekend. If Cam is playing I know it will be a great battle between them.

Unless Eddie wants to start teaching at Riverview i don't think they will be recruiting him anytime soon!

Eddie is a teacher! He previously taught at the International Grammar School in Sydney.

He has bigger fish to fry than schoolboy rugby...

So Joeys had a great season and won with a game to spare but they were beaten by 20 points by Barker so how do they rate !!

Joeys as a team have been the biggest improvers over the season in Sydney schoolboy rugby by a country mile. Barker definitely got the better of them early in the year but I think you’d see a totally different team now. Joeys big 4 of Barrett, Fowler, Leahy & M Jorgensen have been dynamic for them, GPS which one comfortably over CAS, and the NSW side which did the same over Qld.

Fowler was a big out in that trial game and when all 4 are playing together that side from upfront to out wide is a pleasure to watch.
It’s a shame that we don’t get the chance to see how it would pan out and have to speculate on the result. Many of us would like to see a broadened schoolboy competition where games were not considered trials but a genuine competition to find the best team each year and let them face the same from Qld. Unfortunately tweed jacket politics will never allow it and rugby suffers for it in Australia.

Correct, given you have the States best 13 and 15 out wide. Missing the States best No.10 in the first game would make an enormous difference to that result. Joeys by 12 with Joey Fowler playing this time

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Reading these 'what if's' make we wish we had the rep games post season. I know its wishful thinking but these teams can make a big difference to the path a kid has opened up to them with their future footy the way rugby love to shove you into a 'Pathway'.

Relying on reputation is lazy. Not saying any selections have been incorrect this year, I just feel it can be done better. I also know I'm taking no other aspects of the calendar into my opinion.

 

[Black & White]

Amen to that my brother. Couldn't have said it any better mate, the way the boys have been treated across the forums is atrocious and needs to be stopped. I feel sympathy for all of the King's players that were singled out in that little outburst earlier today, you do not deserve that! Louis especially, you are nothing but talent mate and for anyone to say such things earlier is nothing more than untrue. Let's do better!

There is potential, that abusive comments to a boy, groups of boys, or even to the school they attend, could result in child abuse charges. DET and child services, have little tolerance towards such abusive behaviour.

It’s getting a bit far. A couple of comments because of a sobby parent about a bias ref is now leading to charges. Calm down please.

If the GPS move to a H&A season, what happens with the 3rds comp? Suddenly becomes quite a long season which I can't imagine excites SBHS.

Already played and were beaten comfortably, the 10 played half a game. Barker have gotten a lot better as well so it would be the same result

10 for Joeys played none of the game and 10 for Barker played it all. The results would suggest that across the two comps Joeys have far and away improved the most of all the teams as would the domination of the teams that the 4 players mentioned previously. They haven’t lost a game when playing together and not a single side local or representative has come even close when they are all together.

They all played except for the 13 Barker beat them easily and they would do it again, and the best 10 in NSW wasn't available for selection.

I suspect 3rds comp will still be 1 round. It's already 7 weeks long and maybe this new format will allow Newington to re-join for a 9 week comp.

This is great chat.

 

[Charizardsfire]

Im hearing Jackson Stiel is injured this weekend and young gun John Mahoney is taking his place at prop for Shore!! Go Johnathan! He is a beautiful beast with silky soft hands

 

[love2lineout]

This weekend there is a huge in for the shore rugby with a very exciting talent returning from an acl injury. hugo "speedy" jansen that will pack it down in the middle with the big boys in the hooker pos. he is a very FAST bloke that gets nice and low in contact and is very hard to stop.wishing him a great return. good luck hugo

The best rugby 10 in Australian Schools is Joey Fowler by the length of a straight. Isaiya Katoa is the best league half back but definitely not a Union 10.
Fowler is equally strong left or right, watch Katoa or any highlights and 90% of what he does is on the left hand side of the sticks going left to right and that suits modern league, think of all the tries and what side they are scored by left side attacks nowadays. No doubt he is good but for a rugby 10, who at times reminds me of Steve Larkham I choose Fowler all day every day.

And I stick with my earlier thought that if the two teams were to play again, both at full strength I’d be picking Joeys.

They faced off for a whole half and Katoa dominated, so with that you should be going with Katoa and Barker. Barker were also missing their NSW 2 and fullback.
