NSW AAGPS 2025 (banter and commentary)

[twister29]

Any news on if Bassingthwaighte is returning for SHORE this weekend against Joeys at heavens pasture.
Rumours were that his return was estimated to be in Round 6.
If so, is 1 game enough to justify his selection in GPS 1s side

Although medically cleared for this round, I believe he is waiting until after the break to double down on a healed injury. I also don’t know if his league commitments will clash with this…

Shore

1. Jarrett
2. Baxter
3. Green
4. Shadforth
5. Frape
6. Squire
7. Leahy
8. Stock
9. Greig
10. Ritchie
11. Hockey
12. Robertson
13. Francis (c)
14. Bremner
15. Wendt

Some major shuffles here. Still lots of injuries putting critical players out for Shore, looks like 8 or 9 men.

 

[The Chairman]

The injury ward for Shore is genuinely historical.

A prop, 2 second rowers, 2 back rowers, a Five-eight, a winger and a fullback.

Have not seen anything like it in a long time.

Are their a lot of people coming back from injury in the joeys 3s? Seems to be a different team?
