NSW AAGPS 2025

[ThePassionatePilfGod22]

I dont think it was the coaching that was the problem, I think Joeys just didn't have the players. Most of them were in yr11 this season so I think next season will be a big one.

Does any one know the Gem blue team for Under 16?

I believe if you look at nswwaratahs on Instagram, check the u16s forum or search up 2024 U16 Gen Blue teams it will appear there

Wendt (E) Basketball in summer I believe he played 1sts last year before the rugby season
Stock (E) Water Polo
Armstrong (E) Shotput Athletics
Scammel (E) Rowing
Dooley (J) Rowing
Adlam (S) Cricket

 

[Springbokbreaker]

The experience these players yr11 will transfer to next year will be substantial. Especially Matt gough and Justice

Heinz Lemoto is handy at basketball.

 

[Springbokbreaker]

Don't agree with that.

Yes Shore has always been E because the S for Shore was taken by some other school. Take it easy Scots fans.

I'd just like to comment on how close the 2024 GPS season was. The team that came last even beat the team that won the competition. I prefer this style of GPS rugby rather than just have a juggernaut dominate the competition, and the whole season be 'who can disrupt the premiership surge of ...', which this was seen in 2023 with Kings. I think the next two years of GPS rugby will follow a similar format to the two years prior to 2024; Joeys a juggernaut in 2025 (like how they were in 2022), then Kings a juggernaut in 2026 (like how they were in 2023). This is backed by the amount of year 11's in the 1sts at Joeys in 2024, who will be there next year, and the current group of year 10's at Kings who were in the 1sts in 2024.

In 2025, I think the comp will either go to Joeys or Kings. Kings was the only team to beat Joeys on both occasions this year, and Joeys vs Kings in 2025 will be like a rematch of 2024, as the 1st XV's from both schools have many returning players.

Lineup prediction for Joeys 1st 15 next year?

 

[Springbokbreaker]

Joeys' potential victory in 2025 hinges on their experience and talent, especially since Kings managed to defeat them twice this year. The rematch in 2025 is expected to be competitive, but Joeys' returning players will give them an edge, making them strong contenders for the championship.

Important news

I have been asked by several members about discussing athletics. In response, I have started a thread here.

Same rules apply of course as it is a schoolboy thread. I look forward to a spirited athletics season.

Joeys' potential victory in 2025 hinges on their experience and talent...

Could not agree more. The passion and grit these boys have is sensational and cannot wait to see the returning players. This rematch will be all mental leading into the game. Both schools must get amongst it and support all the boys as it'll be the one of the greatest matches for 2025.

The joeys coaches have won premierships before - this is the strongest age group coming through and will adapt to a new structure

The players could adapt to a new structure. Who will come up with the structure though? Not the squabbling sideline pair in charge this year.

 

[Springbokbreaker]

While it's true that our coaching staff may have an outdated structure, they have consistently demonstrated their ability to adapt and innovate. The coaches are committed to leveraging advanced analytics, which can provide valuable insights into player performance and game strategies. By integrating these analytics into their approach, they can refine their tactics and make informed decisions, ensuring that the players can thrive within the new framework. With a focus on collaboration and continuous improvement, our coaches can effectively bridge the gap between traditional methods and modern demands, ultimately benefiting the team as a whole.

 

[Mudgee Mudcrab]

I have a gut feeling the 2026 competition will be very even across all teams. In 16as the only team to go undefeated was Joeys. In 15s Kings may have gone undefeated but the level of footy they were playing them compared to the rest of the teams but with size and time the 16a competiton has gotten very skilled and a whole lot better. It will be interesting but Kings and Joeys will be fighting with the potential dark horses of Newington, Shore, Riverview and Scots.

 

[Springbokbreaker]

Yeah mud crab I agree although i think In the 2026 rugby competition Year 11 players are poised to have a significant impact due to their enhanced skill levels and physical size. As these athletes transition from junior to more competitive play, their experience and maturity will elevate their teams' performance. The combination of their developed technical abilities and greater physicality will not only bolster established teams like Kings and Joeys but also support emerging contenders such as Newington, Shore, Riverview, and Scots. This infusion of talent will create a more balanced and competitive environment, making the upcoming season one of the most thrilling yet.

 

[Mudgee Mudcrab]

Couldn’t agree more.
