A gear assembly for an aeronautical engine includes a first gear disposed at a centerline axis of the gear assembly, a second gear coupled to the first gear in adjacent radial arrangement to form a first mesh between the first gear and the second gear, a static portion coupled to the second gear in adjacent circumferential arrangement, the static portion defining a pocket, and a spraybar disposed within the static portion such that a supply opening of the spraybar is directed at the first mesh between the first gear and the second gear. The supply opening provides a flow of lubricant to the first mesh between the first gear and the second gear and at least a portion of the flow of lubricant is collected by the pocket. The flow of lubricant is continuously released from the pocket to the gear system.
