Possibly be "relationships" between said schools and NRL clubs.The most interesting aspect of this article is that all the NRL players listed attended either Scots, Newington or Kings. Why is so?

I am sure that the AAGPS have considered a 9 team 3rd XV competition and I agree with you @Here for the advice that it would be a great idea. Having Newington in the competition would allow ALL GPS schools to compete together. I understand that scheduling and byes have been the main issues. Others on the forum may have more information about this. (I can confirm that I am not on the AAGPS Committee.)Could they not allow 9 ?? I am sure the Sydney based teams could easily make that happen and keep TAS too
I'm not aware of any other Matt Smith but perhaps you are referring to his older brother Lachlan Smith? He was Kings 1st XV #9 in 2023.Matt Smith (K) was GPS 16's a couple of years ago wasnt he? or is there a different boy?

We all know. Beware discussing this. Cyclopath will stomp on you.Possibly be "relationships" between said schools and NRL clubs.
It's to early to tell however it's either going to be the boys from North Sydney or The Joe boys... Only time will tell...

So apparently it's Scots, View, Joeys or Shore. Good to know.Scots or View seem to be the clear favourites for the 3rd XV competition in my eyes, and if I'm not mistaken, view beat shore in a trial game and Scots have beaten joeys in a game earlier on this season. Who knows though hey?

When are the games at Knox?With the GPS1 and GPS2 teams not being announced until the 22nd, it does not give them much of a chance to train together. I know a lot of them will have undoubtedly played with each other in previous NSW sides etc, which is great however I thought that they may have been given possibly even a weeks more prep
Sorry Joker no harm intended.
I don't think the forum has closed down mid season yet, keep it this way ladies and gentlemen
27th and 28th JuneWhen are the games at Knox?
I see where you're coming from wisemaan Shore could be a shmokey to take it home as wellIt's to early to tell however it's either going to be the boys from North Sydney or The Joe boys... Only time will tell...

Makes no sense to me either. He has been there since year 10 and has the experience. Not sure why they would drop him as he has been performing well alsowhy is MacKellar dropped
Couldn't agree more.Makes no sense to me either. He has been there since year 10 and has the experience. Not sure why they would drop him as he has been performing well also

Definitely controversial to be there in year 10 and then dropped in year 12. But I'm not convinced his performances have been up to scratch, especially defensively. Also questionable whether he should have been there in year 10.Makes no sense to me either. He has been there since year 10 and has the experience.

Despite the fact he possibly should not have been there in year 10, he has mass amount of experience and deserves to be in the team, nonetheless it's not my decision.. and not our place to comment.Definitely controversial to be there in year 10 and then dropped in year 12.

Joeys by 12+
I would rate the decision if Wendt was there to come up but I'm not sure his replacement is well placed there.Despite the fact he possibly should not have been there in year 10, he has mass amount of experience and deserves to be in the team, nonetheless it's not my decision.. and not our place to comment.
