NSW AAGPS 2025

[BananaMan]

I'm assuming the powers that be are not buying into the PONI squad concept this year, or are they delaying it till later in the year?

 

[Thefootyman76]

Will be interesting to see Shore’s lineups now as they will have a few players back. Their depth 1-3’s will actually be quite good.

 

[Thefootyman76]

@wisemaan @The Chairman any predictions for the 3 teams?

 

[Joker]

Please help

I have noted the AAGPS website is not loading hence I cannot view the fixtures for 2025 season

@Joker

Thank you

 

[Maul of Duty]

Two Blues would be strong (assuming they get their league players to play) and I suspect Gordon will also be strong (notwithstanding they may lose some to school programs).

From u15s and up, the Two Blues really struggle. They all end up going to league and committing their from what I have seen in recent years.

@Joker Count me in for the tipping comp please.

 

[NGRUGBY_]

Any predictions for Scots or Newington's round 1 lineups?

 

[wisemaan]

@Joker Count Wiseman in for the tipping comp please!

Also my Pre-game reviews will be back again this season for those that enjoyed them last. Occasional post-game reviews aswell.

Pope Francis was a well-known admirer of rugby, particularly for its themes of teamwork, loyalty, and respect. He has praised the sport's "loyalty and respect" and likened it to a metaphor for life, highlighting the need to work together towards a common goal. He has also spoken about the physicality of the game, acknowledging that it requires "running together and passing the ball".

RIP. Papa

I will do my best. My health will decide how much I can do.

[Mr Burns]

Ok everyone.
The AAGPS tipping comp is up again.

I am once more happy to do this job. I have time on my hands as I am now medically retired.
In the past this has been a lot of fun and each year we see winners come from many backgrounds.
Last year it was a schoolboy who won (won't reveal the school)

Question?

Would like to participate this season.
Entries close on WEDNESDAY before round 1.
Just reply with an indication of wanting to join.

There are limited places again this.
In 2025 I am though deleting tippers who miss three rounds in a row.
When this happens I will invite those who missed out to join and they will start with the points of the deleted tipper.

A reminder on how this works...

TIPPING COMPETITION. How does this work?

For those new here I hope this explains this.

With only three games each week I devised a system where players can score more
This is achieved by using margins.
Various margins are worth points.

Points break down.

Lose- 0

Win- 3 points if your margin is BELOW +5 of the final score

Win- 5 points if your margin is ABOVE and WITHIN the +5

Win- 10 points you pick the margin exactly

DRAW- 20 points If you select a draw

Here is this in action.

Game is Scots College v Sydney Boys High

Final result

Scots 10 High 32

Winning margin +22

The following members chose the following. Here is how they scored

Headbutt- chose Scots +25 (0 points)

Guppy- chose High +10 (3 points, a win but below the margin)

Muppet- chose High +26 (5 points, win within +5 of the margin)

Fluke- chose High +22 (10 points, win with the exact margin)

Maximum you can score in one week is 30 points. These margins come in handy as you can run down leaders or make a break. Plus is you fail to get your tips in you are given by default the away teams with no margin.

Tips are taken by PUBLISHING them here with a post. I will endeavor to have them added by 3:15pm on Saturday.

NO TIPS are accepted after this time.

You may wish to message me as well.

TIPPING comp entries will close this WEDNESDAY 14 May @5pm .

Count me in please Joker.

Can you add me in @Joker.
I can safely predict I can do no worse than last season, can’t be worse than last.

Where is jai callaghan??

 

[wisemaan]

Don’t quote me on this but I believe his league team has progressed so will be away for another week and therefore missing Lennox. Regardless of this I think he has injured his ankle and he will be back for the game against Barker… Get ready!

@wisemaan apart from Callaghan and obviously a long term injury to Bassingthwaite, who is to return for this team? Also do you think Hamilford deserves an opportunity?

 

[wisemaan]

So yes obviously those 2 which would make a huge difference, I don’t think there is anyone else. As for Hamilford, there are many over him I reckon.

 

[The President]

Put me down for the tipping comp @Joker
