NSW AAGPS 2024

[Joker]

Surely KB (Kurtley Beale) (Kurtley Beale) is the 10 and not 12? I’d have Foketi, Inman as better Centres than KB (Kurtley Beale) (Kurtley Beale) but not in 10, 15

Craig Wing in the 12?
Ben Kennedy 6?
Lachie Turner at 14? He was a beast of a schoolboy

Kennedy 6
Lachie Turner 14. Awesome cover defender

 

[Joker]

3. Al Baxter!

 

[Goosestep]

All right then. What is your pick for the greatest AAGPS team ever?

1. Tony Daly
2. Phil Kearns
3.
4. Steve Williams
5. Tom Bowman
6.
7. Phil Waugh
8. Tim Gavin

9. Ken Catchpole
10.
11. Arthur Tonkin
12.Kurtley Beale
13. Stirling Mortlock
14.
15. Matt Burke

Michael lipman would be ahead of Kennedy in achievements - if it’s Strictly rugby union

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

If Rugby then for sure. My fault saying him and Craig Wing. Although Wing played for Japan as well as Aus in League.

Bell would be up there for loose head as well.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

If rugby only Jack Dempsey can be considered for 6 as well as Dean Mumm. Benn Robinson also an option. 72 Tests 151 Tah games.

3. Al Baxter!

6. Dean Mumm

 

[Joker]

This would take a deep dive. There are many great AAGPS players from era’s gone past who should be considered.

6. Dean Mumm

I’ll take Dempsey please with my bias point of view. At his 2nd World Cup not 30 yet. 26 Tests and he had a 3 year stand down period.

Sounds like we need a 1st & 2nd XV

I always thought he was a “lucky” Wallaby but his longevity kind a proves me wrong.

John Solomon?

John Solomon?

Dally m

Dally m

Was he a Sydney High lad

 

[Up and In]

3. Al Baxter!

John Thornett

 

[Goosestep]

3. Al Baxter!

Nah bill young

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Agree Young over Baxter. He was routinely crushed at International level. Australia just had no Props. Young was a craftsman at the position but I’d say Allan Alaatoa would top the lot.

 

[RushingRob]

Was he a Sydney High lad

No, Scots, 48' when they won the premiership. Wallaby Captain.

 

[Joker]

I was referring to Dally M.
I know John well. I taught three of his grandchildren. Lovely man.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Not sure about Dally M. He left school at 15 to work from what I can find and was playing Club Rugby.
