NSW AAGPS 2025

His Dad would crack a fit if his youngster turned to the dark side. Harry's been with the Wanderers in Newcastle since Under 7s. He has consistently been selected in the Hunter Wildfires, NSW Country, and NSW Waratahs. He was attending Hunter Sports High and I believe he moved to Joeys this year (2nd XV?). He's a great player, but NRL.....? I am happy to be proven wrong though if anyone has any evidence.

Harry’s dad cracking a fit? I don't know about a fit, but the man’s loyalty to rugby is stronger than Harry’s fend. If Harry even sniffs the NRL, we might see Dad rocking a 'Rugby Forever' protest outside. Great player, though—if he goes to league, at least he'd tackle better than half their forwards!
 
Absolutely spot on! The thought of Harry swapping to the "dark arts" of league is downright preposterous! I mean, can you imagine Beckett jumping ship to the enemy? That’s as unforeseen as a referee making a correct call!

Harry’s been a Wanderers stalwart in Newcastle since Under 7s, and his journey has been nothing short of impressive. From consistently being selected for the Hunter Wildfires to representing NSW Country and even the NSW Waratahs, he’s built quite the rugby resume! And now he’s made the leap to Joeys this year—2nd XV, I believe? Talk about climbing the ranks!

His ability to fend off those league offers is just as impressive as his on-field skills—talk about loyalty! It’s like he’s got a sixth sense for dodging those temptations while staying true to the game handed down from the rugby gods. Can you picture Beckett with a league ball? That's like asking a fish to ride a bicycle. Harry’s loyalty is as solid as a brick wall—no way he’s letting the allure of league lure him away from the sacred pitch. Here’s to hoping he keeps smashing those league offers and stays true to the game that runs through his family like a well-oiled scrum machine.

And let’s not forget his tackling prowess! His skills are so sharp, he could easily outshine several NRL hookers. Harry’s a staunch loyalist, and it’s clear that rugby runs through his veins like a well-timed pass. Here’s to hoping he keeps fending off those league advances and stays where he truly belongs!

Cheers to rugby, the game that still matters.

Dear, Boshman

Word is, Angus Grover demanded Riverview build him a statue before agreeing to play First XV. NSW Rugby tried to intervene, offering a bronze plaque instead, but Angus held firm. Rumour has it negotiations stalled when Riverview suggested using his Year 8 school photo for the statue design. The saga continues, and so do the memes!

On a serious note, I think NSW Waratahs are allowing him to play for the great Riverview next year as he voiced his desire to win a GPS comp. I think it is a similar situation to the Leo Jaques story. As soon as he finishes school at Riverview his full commitment will be to the Waratahs.

Thanks VBC,

Your recount of Angus Grover - the Man, is eerily similar situation happen a few years ago at St. Joseph's College. Preceding the 2022 AAGPS Rugby season, Max Jorgensen and his manager demanded that St. Joseph's College temporarily change its name to "St. Jorgasm College" during Terms 2 and 3. This request was ultimately turned down, but negotiations continued, leading to a compromise that involved replacing the 26 historic stained-glass windows located in "Sydney's most beautiful Chapel" (The Pope) with a stop-motion style montage of his highlights.

Additionally, the college was required to place a picture of Max Jorgensen next to every cross above each classroom doorway, with the "Hail Mary" prayer and "Our Jorgo" being recited daily during mentoring sessions. The negotiation table remained open, with the decision for Jorgensen to play in the mix until the first trial game. The stained-glass window saga was greenlit and enshrined in the famous SJC chapel, while the request for the "Jorgo" mugshot next to the cross was turned down.

However, a compromise was reached for Max Jorgensen and his manager (who I believe is his father, Peter). The college agreed to saw off and replace the head of the Jesus statue located in the circular drive with Max Jorgensen's head. Additionally, Max was to be given his own change room and referred to as "Daddy Jorgo" throughout the playing season. This fortunately payed off in Aces as the college secured its 57th AAGPS rugby premiership, all thanks to the sore backs of Max Jorgensen, Ronan Leahy and Joey Fowler.

In all seriousness;

@viewboyclan I am glad to hear you say that he NSW Waratahs are allowing him to play for the great Riverview next year, as he has voiced his desire to win a GPS competition. I also hope that Angus Grover can play a significant role in this journey, contributing to the team's success and making the most of his opportunities.

All Fun and Games....

Signing off, Boshman Journalism

Dear VBC,

Ah, Angus Grover—demanding a statue before even winning a title. Truly, the Riverview man’s ego knows no bounds! A Year 8 photo for the design? Humerous move—who wouldn’t want a statue of a 13-year-old with a dream of winning a GPS comp before joining the Waratahs? Classic Grover. Even Angus Grover is scared to play GPS Cricket, hence why he quit to play sevens. My sources told me he's too incompetent to play a short ball from Tom Fuzes, and his contract had him quit cricket due to recurring concussions from his dreadfull pull-shot.

All jokes aside, I think Riverview has allowed him to play. Much like Leo Jaques, Grover’s journey is one of greatness. Riverview’s gain is, of course, the Waratahs' eventual treasure. His ability to balance schoolboy rugby glory and professional ambition is nothing short of impressive. We’ll surely be witnessing the rise of a rugby icon. #BSB

anyone have news on max Laverty if he's playing this year?
Yeah, I heard Max Laverty's been taking an unorthodox approach to training this year—apparently, he's been wrestling kangaroos in the outback to improve his tackling skills. Word is, his preseason game was delayed because he had to finish a 'best two out of three' match with a particularly stubborn one named Fred Bruce. The team’s hoping he makes it back in one piece!

On a serious note, I heard he is still slowly recovering from a shoulder reconstruction and is dabbling in a bit of preseason training. All goes to plan he should be playing by the start of the 2025 AAGPS rugby season.

You know what I'm eagerly waiting on?

An answer to if Patrick Smith (J) will play rugby this year. He has his commitments to the Sydney Swans, and I believe he is on a pretty well-off contract. A few other kids from schools also have their commitments, any others?

Glazer out.

Dear Boshman,

Here is a rough teamlist for the Joeys 1st XV that my son's friend from Joeys told him about:

1. Angus Littler
2. Gharles Chattas
3. Christopher Quinn
4. Cooper Greeñ
5. Mackinley Dooley
6. Cameron "Gyprock" "Pony" Stickey
7. Sam "schment" Lindsay
8. Jut-stice Taumosifhisosiejs
9. HARRY "H" BECKETT (C)
10. Bede Fagarty
11. Liam Burnicle
12. Matthew "stim" Gough
13. Kynan Fart
14. Lachie Cox
15. Max Palmisani

Purely just a list that one of my son's mates sent to him. I don't really understand what the go with all the nicknames is but this is just what I received.

Hope this was helpful

Pretty good effort, however,

I would have Leo Obeid (Rabbitohs) over Liam Burnicle (J), and I would probably have Charlie Humphreys (J) over Mackinely Dooley (J); nothing personal, and I don't know either well, but from the games I've watched, I would say Charlie Humphreys is a more versatile second rower who has a better work ethic. Furthermore, Jock Kennedy-Green could be a good addition coming back from his training in Antarctica with Pat Smith over Cameron Stucky.

One last touch-up; not sure why Ethan Hunt (J) hasn't been included at 10. He has exceptional passing and kicking skills, with the ability to accurately distribute the ball to teammates. He also has excellent mobility and agility, enabling his team to evade opponents and create space for fast players like Kynan Hart (J) and Lachlan Cox (J).

Wouldn't be suprised to see Paul Sivoden (S) come back to coach a school as well-rounded as theirs or if Joeys see an upset this year from TMG.

Cheers, Glazer out
