I wouldn't think that it is one or the other (unless they have another tight head coming into opens??). My guess based on last year that they will continue in their same positions for school.

Well well well...

After a lengthy off-season, the Pork has left the Den and returned to the G&G forums! I'd be wrong if I said that I'm not excited about this upcoming GPS season!

I truly think the best watch this year will be the long-living rivalry between Sydney High and Sydney Grammar School (#takemeback). My tip is that the Grammar Boys will get up after their ongoing high on getting the best ATAR in the GPS!

Anyways, Good luck to all of the GPS in what will be a very successful year ahead.

From 215, yours truly. TPPG22

Shore winning the Firsts and Thirds in 2024 made for a very successful year. When was the last time Shore won a coupla major premierships in the same year?

Are there any trials confirmed
Let's kick off 1stXV ladder predictions:

1. Kings
2. Joeys
3. Shore/Riverview/Scots
4. Scots/Newington ++

I have heard Kings and Joeys have very good squads with allot of depth, with the 10 round competition it needed as past seasons allot of injuries. This will put both schools in very good positions at the backend of the GPS rounds.
Riverview chatter very quiet but I think they had a handy 16 age group last season, plus Angus Grover should have a good solid team.
Newington might surprise people they could finish much higher than above. Not sure if Hermasi will play or not play due to League contract/commitments.
Shore 10/15 are back for year 12 both very very good players and will formulate a good pairing.

Any thoughts?

Joeys could take the number one spot over Kings for several key reasons:

  1. Unmatched Depth & Squad Depth – Joeys consistently produces deep squads, and with a 10-round competition, their ability to cover injuries could be superior to Kings. Their 2nd XV is often as strong as some schools' 1st XV, ensuring high competition for spots and strong replacements when injuries hit.
  2. Superior Fitness & Conditioning – Joeys' high-paced, relentless style of rugby is built on elite fitness levels. Over a long season, this could give them the edge in the final rounds when other teams are fatigued.
  3. Game Plan & Structure – Joeys’ traditional running rugby and structured attack have been refined over years. They thrive in fast ball movement, set-piece dominance, and an aggressive defensive system, which can outmatch Kings' more forward-heavy approach.
  4. Proven GPS Success – Joeys has a history of performing under pressure and securing tight wins, particularly in long competitions. Their coaching staff is experienced in getting the most out of their squads when it matters most.
While Kings may have a strong, talented team, Joeys’ overall squad depth, fitness, and proven game plan could give them the edge by the final rounds of the GPS season. Plus kings just have no tikka.
Very Strange take.... considering kings have only lost too joeys from my understanding twice since 2018.

very rough team, could be very off. kings last year looked to play some names like rhys perret who should find his way into this side. whilst also in their back 3 they placed kable the 2nds 10 on a wing could potentially see this with the likes of sione vunipola
