Talks of a possible match up between Barker and Shore. Thoughts?

Absolutely criminal not to have Makasini (N) in the early predicted GPS 1st XV lineups. Dominated this year; simply scary to think about him next year...

I will try my hardest to stay within the rules of the forum in this comment.
Some of their talented players will no doubt get their shot at the big leagues next year, but there are worries about their antics and actions outside of the rugby field, and from what i've gathered coaches Wallace and Sinclair don't stand for that.
Lets hope they get/are shooting straight, because there are some very talented players who deserve to be playing high levels of rugby.

From watching some games I think his ‘wrath’, size and reputation per se were exceeding his performance this season. Not at all undermining his talent, he is definitely a rising star, I just think he didn’t have much pill time & underperformed my expectations. Thoughts?

Armstrong recently named in the U16 Waratahs Squad. I believe Bremner was named in the Brumbies' U16 Squad. Sidwell's 1st Year at Shore saw him develop enormously. Big things from the Newcastle Kid.

I saw this question on the other forum: Who were some underrated players from the season?
From Scots I think both Angus Newman and Elliot Rainford were terrific, got through a lot of unnoticed work for Scots allowing their backs to do the pretty stuff especially in the backend of the season.

Cooper Guerin from TSC also played very well

Not anytime soon. Too many Year 12 students down to the pointy end of their studies.

Anyone got any insight into what Shore’s 2nd XV might be looking like.
Obviously a promising group in the 3rd XV but how many of them are here for 2025, also a couple of the reserves playing up in the 3rds from the 4ths looked to be making an impact on field during their game time.

Fair few 16As players in the 2nds next year with a many of the current 3rds & 4ths boys and a couple of current 2nds boys. Hoping coming off a Premiership season with the 3rds and a 2nd on the ladder for the 16As they will be able to get the job done next year but only time can tell. I believe many of the boys were YR 11 in the 3rds team. Boys leaving would be Brabin (Prop), Beggs (Halfback), Lotz (Flanker).

Mudcrab, who is your pick for 2nd XV halfback?

Manchee or new comer Strachan

Not having Callaghan in here is a crime. In my opinion he was the best player in the AAGPS this year and will be as well next year.

Hey Mudcrab, what are your thought on that Sidwell lad from the 16s. Could he push for a 1s spot in the 2 row?

I'm not Mudcrab...but a young fella of his size and talent is exactly what the Shore 1st XV will need next year. Plenty of backs in the 2025 line up...will need the size of Sidwell.

Will need to fill out a bit but his height will be huge for sure. Galligan and Sidwell in the lineout will create havoc!
