NSW AAGPS 2025

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.

Very curious about the details here…

 

[The President]

If I was to start some new threads for new sports, Rowing etc. Where should I put them?

A new subsection for forums called "Schoolboy sport". Rugby, Rowing, Cricket, Soccer and Basketball would all be popular forums among schoolboys, old boys, parents and just general fans

They have many talented players in their age group. Considering they only lost one game all year (Pretty sure). Would be a shame for them to miss out on the big leagues due to off-field antics.

 

[Joeys Super Fan!]

if anyone can be bothered can we get a predicted 1st and 2nd XV 2025 for each team..

@Joker Can we bring back the rowing forum please?

My powers only extend to this little corner of the universe.
I will investigate though

The discipline of elite schoolboy rugby usually sorts these students out. Not a Shore only issue. SMH just seems to enjoy writing about Shore.

Joeys clear favourites IMO at this time. I can also see Shore and Ignatius making a push for 1st

 

[Get em onside]

What has made you rate Kings so highly?

 

[NEWMAFIA2025]

With Osbourne playing so well currently is a position switch necessary?

Absolutely agree with this. Osbourne is playing exceptional currently at No.3 for view and I seriously don't understand why a switch to hooker is necessary.

Bit early but here’s my 2025 prediction ladder…

 

[The Backlynagh]

Would be interesting to compare predictions from the start of 2024 season. Plenty of schools have extremely strong teams on paper, however nothing beats good old fashioned mateship, school pride and teamwork.

 

[runtheballup]

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?

100% fair opinion, however his pure size and "wrath" are just something that cannot be undermined. Two major attributes of rugby players that Makasini possesses at just 17 years old. Next year, with more ball (maybe in the centres?) we will hopefully see aspects of sheer domination from the rising star he is.

Joeys 1st XV 2025 Prediction
1 Bryn Whittaker (16A)
2 Charles Ghattas (1stXV)
3 Chris Quinn (1stXV)
4 Cooper Green (1stXV)
5 Charlie Playford (16A)
6 Charlie Hicks (16A)
7 Mackinley Dooley (1stXV)
8 Justice Taumoepeau (1stXV)
9 Xavier Ryan (16A)
10 Bede Fogarty (2ndXV)
11 Tom Dunn (2ndXV)
12 Matt Gough (1stXV)
13 Kynan Hart (1stXV)
14 Henry Troy (1stXV)
15 Max Palmisani (1stXV)

Joeys 2nd XV 2025 Prediction
1
2 Xavier Boon (3rdXV)
3 Angus Littler (16A)
4 Abe Race (16A)
5 Cameron Stuckey (3rdXV)
6 Finn Leary (16A)
7 Austin Short (16A)
8 Apollo McInerney (3rdXV)
9 Julian Ryan (3rdXV)
10 Pat Smith (16A)
11 Max Circosta (16A)
12 Sam Jorgensen (16A)
13 Rory O'Conner (3rdXV)
14 Henry Gardiner (16A)
15 Finn Hannon (15A)

Finn Leary would be a better Hooker for the 2nd XV as he did start for the NSW Schoolboys 2nd XV as a hooker
Abe Race not in the 1st XV is baffling as he is already reserving and going on for the 2nd XV
Max Circosta is a very reliable and good player so I'd see him pushing for 1sts as a winger
Harry Beckett as the 2nd XV Halfback IMO as he has played there for most of the season before injury

Well done Shore.

 

[NotAlwaysCorrectAdam]

What has made you rate Kings so highly?

Insider knowledge..

 

[Get em onside]

One thing I know for sure is that the comp will be once again very close. Joeys will be very strong, but not good enough to win it easily

 

[Get em onside]

Any schools going on tours over offseason?
