NSW AAGPS 2025 (banter and commentary)

[The President]

I’m not normally one to comment about the refs but this was just absolutely appalling. I know Scot’s have a reputation of bias from the refs but today was appalling. Shore crowd rightfully upset. Penalty call was probably +30 in favour of Scots. Shore are deserving winners there. Disappointing.

View 48 Kings 26

New 40 Joeys 39

Ref will get his bonus. Where’s the integrity.

 

[The 6 Seat]

That was insanity. My heart goes out to the Shore lads. That was a certain word starting with cluster and ending in uck.

Head up boys

 

[hogieslammer]

Just watched the last penalty of the Scots game. Not too sure where the offside was called from, nor could I see the advantage called. Tough way to lose a match, but I wouldn't go about bringing in questions of integrity.

 

[The President]

I wonder how much was in the refs brown paper bag…

 

[Jakeburner65]

Sounds like an historic steal over Bellevue Hill way. Remember people, McCastles don’t pay for themselves!

(Will watch it tomorrow as a neutral and see if it’s just sour grapes)

Nevermind, I do see the advantage signal. Just can't see anyone offside

 

[Footyhead23456]

Didn’t know the refs could put multis in the shore vs Scot’s game

 

[PROPaganda]

How about that Scots ref. Advantage calls went on for so long that they could have built another castle in that time. Knock ons? Forward passes? Might as well have been optional. I wouldn’t trust him with the 13Es!

If shore wins their own lineout from that penalty on 72 mins the game is done

Not sure why they would risk a long ball there.

 

[Rugbynbeers]

10 + years off attending kings rugby days, today would be the strangest.

from watch the junior teams on the white top the opens performance.

13As Kings won 26-5
14As Kings won 63-0 (maybe view scored one cannot rember)
15As Kings won 24-7
16As view won 19-7

These games were all different in their own remark, 13As was honestly the most stop start game I’ve ever watched 3 red cards which would barely be penalty’s from both kings and view.

14As was complete dominance, strange as the week before they blew a 21-0 lead.

15As were solid, would of expected a bigger scoreline. View did outstanding to stay in the game for periods of time.

16As was a hard watch, view just wanted the game more. Didn’t get to see the ball move past the 12 much from kings. View 10 was outstanding.

advantages must have been very long given how long that castle took. Perhaps the ref was expensive like the castle as well. over at Hunters Hill the 1 point margin summed the game up well, Newington are the team to beat now. I don’t know if they’ll have the consistency week to week though. Joeys tight 5 is the weak link in their arsenal. J Minto is a freak, a big statement but i think the best at his age i’ve seen in over 40 years watching Joeys. worth noting though that in 13, 14, 15, 16 a’s and 2’s the margin favoured Joeys about a gazillion points. not sure why New struggle with depth.

[Rookie21]

I was having a bit of a laugh earlier when I joked about how much had the ref been paid. The game simply won’t exist without them. But I feel the Shore crowd have a real right to be upset with that last penalty. The standard should be much higher.

 

[SpreadTheButter]

Referee should not ref a game again. As a neutral, that was appalling.

I'll take the wins in the juniors regardless. Don't see many when we play View and Joeys

 

[keenas]

Are the main games being televised on the internet this year?

Yes Streamer , certainly not the best however something is better than nothing

 

[The 6 Seat]

I’d greatly appreciate if someone could do the numbers on Shore v Scots penalties
