NSW AAGPS 2024

[The Cleaner]

That's what's frustrating if indeed a development year don't see why other players can't be taken up to blood in. Relying on Risati to defend in an opens comp at fullback is a big ask, he'd be there because of his kick. Makasini, Grantham, Filter, Lemoto breaking the line with a man to beat good luck. Drop Isamu to FB, Risati 10, Stewart 12, Fenwicke 13

With fitness I always use George Smith as an example. Terrible trainer, fitness and lifting wise yet all time great. The coach who took chance on him should be knighted

Oxenham and Sawyer will be back next term.

Jono Bowman 1998 when they were GPS joint premiers. Any others missing?

Make that 4 of them. Liam Sidwell was in the 2023 AICES team.

Don't know what positions they play or years they're in. If Y12 start them in 3rds to work way back and develop players as they said

Yep.

Your postings are showing Blue v Sydney and White v Country.

Oxenham and Sawyer will be back next term.

Those injections of class and skill will hopefully do wonders for their clunky attack. They were lacking direction and leadership in the backline at times this term.

[DropGoal]

Over on the CAS forum they are posting war cries for the up coming game.

 

[RushingRob]

ATTENTION

Because of the complete washout of Joeys games below 3rd grade last Saturday, and presumably similar situations at other grounds, and notwithstanding that we have 2 results (only) reported (ie 15A S11 v K7 and 14A E15 v I0), our inclination is to treat the whole round below 2nd grade as a complete washout and not award any table points. The alternative would be to treat all unreported and washed out games as 0-0 draws.

Statistics Team

Noooooo, but the 15as result I understand though

Ok, genuine question….. what’s better for the player and/or future Rugby Australia:
1. Making the best u16s play u16s and getting used to being dominant/enjoying success
2. Making the best u16s play up early and being less dominant/experiencing struggle

Is it just me or does AAGPS only have so many representative teams to accommodate the other conferences being weaker? They couldn't even come up with distinguishing uniforms and have defaulted to just blue and white.

rough for GPS teams having games in back to back days

 

[PBear]

I believe 2025 will be mostly a hitout between Joey's and View, two extremely dominant sides with each team having at least 6 Year 11s. Just a thought, Cheers.

Disagree
Kings & Shore will also play a part
It will be a close competition

Sorry @Joker I might be going blind but I can’t see a GPS Blue v Sydney game scheduled?

Both sides having "at least 6 Year 11s", is an odd way of saying that Joey's has 6 and Riverview has 11 typically (points where they've had 12) year 11s, almost double Joeys which is a pretty big difference.
