NSW AAGPS 2023

[Bob Peters]

Joeys 1st XV vs Knox
1. Gordon Durie (Yr 12)
2. Bill Smith (12)
3. James Winter (12)
4. Joe Mangelsdorf (12)
5. Arthur Greer (11)
6. Will Bensley (12)
7. Pat Young (12)
8. Justice Taumoepeau (10)
9. Hwi Sharples (12)
10. Jonty Fowler (11)
11. Caleb Murphy (12)
12. Oscar Jorgensen (12)
13. Matt Gough (10)
14. Ben Chick (12)
15. Patrick Broe (12)

Following the recent camp in Tamworth, the backs see youngsters Jonty Fowler and Matt Gough from the 16A’s get their chance to impress with an experience Year 12 cohort around them. With Ben Whyte, Ben Playford, Hunter Fogarty, Declan Minto either injured or in 2nds this week, some good backline depth is developing.

The forwards see the return of captain Pat Young, with the remainder largely unchanged. Returns to play are expected from Henry Siegmeier and Charlie O’Kane this weekend or next. Eamon Doyle’s knee surgery was initially season ending but has since revised to play again in term 3, possibly sooner. Similarly, the forward depth is also beginning to build. With only two trials this year, everyone will be venturing into new territory come Round 1 in two weeks from now.

Morning, @Joker

My Tips for the trial games tomorrow are:
Riverview +14
Joeys +18
Shore + 10
Kings + 36
Scots + 24
Newington +5

I believe this tipping competition, like many others, should have a prize for the winner with the most correct tips and lowest margin after the season. Joker as the host do you have any ideas on what this could be?

Very good point.

Last season was the inaugural tipping comp created by me to make people put their predictions to the test. It was dominated early by KOB1987 who led pretty much all season and the LovetoScrum and yours truly had two weeks of wins and margins go our way and we stole the chocolates late. Never say, "oh well I have bombed out." This will be a long season across all comp games and even rep games so by the end of tthe season (if you start now) you would have had at a minimum 15 rounds to tip on.

In regards to an actual prize...mmmmm

Maybe we can ask the webmaster to add below your G&G ranking the words "2023 AAGPS tips winner"

Or

I could buy lunch for the winner and they will get to meet the mysterious Joker.

Thoughts anyone?

It's very possible that the AAGPS just hasn't contacted Cluch for streaming. I believe the streaming will begin from Round 1 of the competition

Are we expecting this to be a smashing or a close match?

Kings have quite a few players resting this week, it also looks to be a week in which changes have been made to give the 2nds boys a crack in firsts.

players like watts, levy and wait will be playing ones. With the likes of smith and miln playing in 2nds.

from my understanding captain Fakafunu is being rested alongside ashdown and tonga.

this game could look to be closer then expected though the eastwood side has quite a few handy players.

my tip would be kings anywhere 12-20+ margin. Eastwods 13,2,4 and 5 are key players to watch.

joeys old boys and kings staff member Daniel smith will be coaching this lineup. Still a teacher and parents at kings of both the 2nd and 3rd xv halfbacks this week.

I’m sure this game has been setup with a plan to benifit kings in the long run of the season.

Kings really have nothing to lose on this . Playing a team that no one knows the opposition so if they win by plenty Kings are on fire. Kings lose then we gave a lot of our seconds a run. Bit of a nice smoky trial to be honest

Shadow boxing really isn’t a great strategy at this point. I would be testing combos not resting players. That’s just me, Given Smith has been associated with 2 Blues forever I wonder why he is coaching an adhoc Eastwood team? Curious.

Don’t believe there’s any ulterior motives but state champs coming up June long weekend. An opportunity for Kings to play a different opposition and the Eastwood U/18’s who’ve never played a game together to have a run.
Kings down to Southern Districts straight after for colts doesn’t tickle my funny bone to much though
