[Mule Backup]

a packet of smokes was a bonus

Back in my day of 79', I was signed for 12 beers and two ciggies. How much do we reckon this would be now?

Hahahahaha. Are you serious or joking around? Genuine question. This is a GPS forum strictly for talk about GPS schools. If you want talk on Pius please make way to the ISA forum.

Gumnut out.

totally agree here gum nut

Early GPS 1st 15 teams list predictions?

I don't really understand how team selections work with league players but I'll have a crack as if all AAGPS players were available and healthy.

Does the GPS 1 team take an extended squad for their game? or do GPS 2 players just reserve?

 

[FruitBatEnthusiast]

Rumors circulating of Lachlan Mackay-Sim slotting straight into the back row for New. A step up, wondering if he's up to the task.

The 2nd XV will reserve.

It will be very interesting to see who plays and who doesn't... With many league teams asking their players to opt out of representative rugby union games, especially with not being able to play past GPS with their contracts.

Bassingthwaighte (Roosters)
Makasini (Tigers)
Large (Manly)
Grantham (Sharks)
Callaghan (Bulldogs)

The back line could look significantly different.

Heard he is a brick wall in defence, would be a great addition.

 

[Mule Backup]

I believe a bench gets for the 1s gets selected filled of GPS 2s players. So GPS 2 players reserve.

Gumnut out.

Cheers, GumNUT, you are always a great helping hand on this forum.

Galligan may be out for up to 8 weeks.

Completely agree, Gum Nut; we are all here for the same reason: our love of the game rugby.

Yours Sincerely, Mule Backup

Reid Mcleery the 2nd row will make his AAGPS 1st XV debut for Newington this weekend. Can't wait to see him rip this weekend. He's truly earnt this call-up, and I'm sure he will deliver.

agree with this statement, without footy where would we be.

It will be interesting to see how the Shore lineout fares without Galligan's height

 

[dorrigoranger]

Any thoughts on Newington U16s number 8 and 2nd XV bench player Hunter Hall? In his limited minutes in the 2nd's he has been an offensive force and on defense he has put on some big shots. Against Joeys he made 2 big breaks through the middle and one massive shot on one of the Joeys forwards in about 15 minutes of play. Might be a chance to start in the near future.

mate are you blind u clearly don't know what your talking about

Fingers crossed he comes back earlier...

I think the Kings hooker deserves to be here, he's very consistent and great for set piece. (Can someone please provide his name)

Ghattas played GPS 1s last year—pretty low chance anyone pips him.
