Interesting perspective Maulester, AI has been doing some wonders now days. But nothing beats the great insights of the dedicated rugby enthusiasts of the Green and Gold rugby forum!Before making your tips, read ChatGPT's prediction of the games.
Predicting the AAGPS rugby results for this Saturday, based on team form and recent performance insights, here's an overview:
TheMaulester/ChatPGT
- Shore v Kings: This match is expected to be closely contested. Shore has shown improvement under their new head of rugby and has been competitive, though they might struggle against stronger teams. Kings, on the other hand, have a solid team with good depth, but might be in a rebuilding phase after a dominant previous season. Prediction: Kings to win, but by a narrow margin.
- Scots v Joeys: Scots are considered one of the top teams this season, with a strong backline and solid forwards. Joeys are also consistently strong, with some key players returning from injuries. This game could be a high-scoring affair given the attacking prowess of both teams. Prediction: Scots to edge out Joeys in a close match.
- Newington v Riverview: Riverview has been touted for their fitness and expansive play, making them a dangerous side. Newington, although having some talented players, has been inconsistent. Riverview's coaching and fitness might give them the upper hand here. Prediction: Riverview to win, potentially with a comfortable margin.

I'll re enter and see if it changes anything.Someone must've entered some incorrect data as to the home side here, Joeys and View are playing at home. Changes predictions somewhat.
It changed only the Shore game prediction which was the only one entered correctly @LindommerSomeone must've entered some incorrect data as to the home side here, Joeys and View are playing at home. Changes predictions somewhat.
Joker I think I should be on 10 from my tips last week

Let's come back to this at the end of the season...Many would describe Riverview v's Newington as a play off for the wooden spoon.
Looking forward to having that chat.Let's come back to this at the end of the season...
Has any discussion/arrangement been made this year between King's, Joeys, View, Shore, whomever to run a Spaghetti Cup competition? If so, it'd be nice to know who's in and running scores.
@Joker ah ah ahhhh, nope you can't pull the underdog card this time. Scots massive underdogs and no doubt I will not do well in the tipping comp because I just cannot pick the pink......I still wouldn't if you asked me to tip Scots v Joeys in 95Last one.....
MATCH OF THE ROUND.
St Joseph’s College v Scots College @ Les paturages du ciel
Venue to some of the greatest religious battles since the troubles in Northern Island, “Les paturages du ciel” gleams in its serene beauty as the cherubim and seraphin nurture a playing surface fit enough for the next great battle between the Archangel Michael's XV and Lucifer's Black Riders XV at the end of time. Till then we have this to entertain us.
The Cattle Dog Catholics v the Protestant Dark Empire once again stride onto “the best rugby playing surface in Sydney” (R. Deans 2012). History shaking games such as the miracle of time from 1981, Old Boys watering squad in 1994 all played under challenging circumstances with dodgy scoreboard clocks and accessible (slang used by low IQ schoolboys)s firing off mid game. (Ask Subbie about this) Long time readers know of my history with the squid squeezers and the awesome days I spent in the Mansion Road classrooms, in fact 14 of them. Those golden days were the Mondays after Cattle Dogs beat the Storm Troopers. This was when I would collect on my bets from my students. Remember I taught a secret Catholic curriculum which included gambling. These tasty winnings I would then share with the SJC 1st XV. Simple times back then, no Michelin star Black Watch café. (still damn good coffee)
BTW.....book still available. We won in court!

The imperial guard of Lord Camembert had an unexpected result last weekend. A disturbance in the force was felt across Sydney. The sound of 1000 bagpipes suddenly silenced. A blip that no one ever saw just like that pesky vent on the first Death Star. The high priests of the Sithism have this week reminded the team of their belief that a real, dynamic force can be subjugated through various practices. (Make of that what you will.) Many at the game said the team did not live up to expectations and could play a lot better. Expectations were high. But Scots were starved of space to express these skills borne from “the dark side”. Kings did a great job of disrupting the Scots party. Many a set of hubcaps were stolen by local kids, and picnic baskets raided all put the Scots community off. Most of all, Kings showed us that Scots do not like being harried and being forced to make decisions quickly. All you need to do is go to dinner with them at Catalina and see how long it takes to order the wine.
Joeys though are the gold medal champions of harassment on the field (and off, but that's another story). Swarming like seagulls on hot chips, the dogs seem to engulf their prey if possible and commit more men to the breakdown hoping to scrounge up a turnover. Like the days of old, speed is being utilised out wide with dynamic 11, 13 and 14 causing damage if given a whiff of open space. Even on the thinner runways of Stanmore, the Joeys lads found space to move. The slick interplay between the backs and forwards created space. The Joeys forwards are smaller beasts than most, but with a high level of fitness and ball playing skill, they aim to become the complete player. Joeys love nothing more than to bring down an imperial walker down wherever possible. The thunder as they crash to the ground only provides more incentive to apply the offensive defence method championed by the late Minister for Defence, Br. Bede. Joeys would be wise not to give the Scots outside speeders possession in open ground. Scots have deadly weapons, but can they figure how to use them? A tantalising game awaits as does the delightful “Rower” at the BBQ and a cold beer at full time @“Jacks”
