NSW AAGPS 2025

[the player]

Personally I would take Callaghan (E) over Bassingthwaite (E) at 15 - Bassingthwaite does have a size advantage but these days I'm seeing more and more success in players who "break the mold", and Callaghan is nothing but creative on the pitch. I've also been interested in Stock (E), he could be an interesting pick in the 2 row. He's one of the stronger ball carriers I've witnessed, and in general he's one of the more well rounded players I've seen. Interested to hear other's thoughts, as he seems to go unnoticed by the Green and Gold rumor mill.

Shoulder injury. Not sure how long he is out for.

Been told he will be availbale for round 1

 

[Maul of Duty]

Didn't think of Callaghan. He would definitely be in the mix for sure. Plenty of lads to select from in that position it seems

Pretty funny how the forum dies down once school time ends eh! The schoolboys pack up their mockery for the day.

I think Newington could be the dark horses this year with one of the best backlines I've seen in a while with players like Keone not going to try to spell his last name, Jarryd King, Heamasi Makasini, Callum Grantham, Bailey Roberts and new kid Kden Carter who was in the 16s Waratahs team last year. As well as having U18 Waratahs prop Isiah Sheck,Iliyaz Viliamu and Dylan Simmons in their forward pack.They could seriously cause some upsets this year and who knows perhaps take it out.

G'day green and gold, welcome back to another year. I have read over a couple of posts about the fullback spot being up for grabs this year in the AAGPS team. However, i hope we can recognise greatness whilst he is still here. Jai Callaghan will be the fullback this year, and will be the best player in the GPS. Lets recognise this man, and give him the spotlight he will soon be receiving.

You have come out of the shadows, Professor. Good to see you back on the forum. Excited for this upcoming season is an understatement.

Hi there @Professor62 nice to see you again. Watching his highlight video he certainly likes a run and has a good swerve. He would one to watch in broken play.

 

[Ballscollector]

Can you please share this video or tell us where one could find it? Thanks

Could not agree more! I enjoy watching him play because I genuinely don’t know what he is going to do when he gets the ball which indeed a rarity in the modern game with our over coached system based players that “stick to the structure”
give him good ball and give him early ball!

Even though it's an outdated prediction I actually really like this .

Putting my 2 sense in.

Very excited for the upcoming games this weekend and for the rest of the season.

The 2 players most excited to watch this year Is Rex Bassingthwaite and Julian Minto two really class players and at school level I think they will really show their best and show what the hype is.

 

[Homer]

I thought the players contracted to league were ineligible to play, including Lemoto, Large, Makasini, Bassingthwaighte and Callaghan. Similar to why Rodwell couldn't play last year.

Lemoto hasn't signed a senior league contract yet has he? Thought he was still be chased by NRL, Tahs and French rugby so still eligible .

 

[Meaty Michael]

Minto? The one in year 12 at Joeys last year??

 

[onthejackal129]

Julian Minto is younger brother of Declan Minto who graduated last year. Word going around Declan has signed a multi hundred thousand dollar deal with a french club.

 

[SinBinson]

I believe he is referring to Jules Minto (Year 10). An easy mistake considering the talent of the Minto family that has gone through St Josephs. I have had the pleasure of watching Jules in club, school, and rep footy. One word to describe him: wow. I WILL be watching him play this year.
