NSW AAGPS 2025 (banter and commentary)

[gothenewboys]

viliamu played 30 minutes in the seconds against shore and looked strong with the ball in hand. Not sure what his restrictions are regarding thursday however.

 

[Mannix Jorgenson]

Its lovely to see competitive efforts across the board, especially against the cerise & blue.

 

[Joker]

Do you have all the scores from all the opens teams from Joeys v Kings?

 

[fortheloveofthegame]

Max played v Kings last weekend

yes, limited minutes and didn’t kick. he was subbed before the end of the first half as they’re not confident in the hammie

 

[fortheloveofthegame]

I'd wager there will be a few of those junior results reversed on the return leg. TKS have good 13A, 14A, 15A squads

and very poor refs

 

[TheRock]

16 & 15s could have gone either way, missed the 14s, thus can't comment
13's had three starters missing and a yellow - were still in the sheds down 19-0 in the first 10 mins, then decided to play 12-12 in the remaining 40 mins) It will be a great contest in Term 3. Plenty of banter
Won't expand on the refs below..... You know what you're getting on the College A-C

and very poor refs

and very poor refs

 

[Mannix Jorgenson]

Besides 1s and 2s how did shore go around the park?

Big call yr 10 in the mix

Also wouldn’t count out the bull

 

[InsiderScoop]

Good list footy head. Some others I’d like to see based on first 3 rounds- View 13, 2. Joeys 5,7. Scots 12. New 14.

Think Minto will be picked in Presidents. I’d put O’Connor/Roberts-Lintmeijer to the wing and Scarr at 13. Tough one for Shore losing Galligan as well, he’s one NSW rugby should be looking for with his potential.

 

[TonyTackle01]

Changes out of Shore. 1s as of now.

It’s been long overdue for Armati to be back in 1sts.

 

[brick-with-eyes]

Hey does anyone know can Monti be selected in gps 1st and 2nd or must he play presidents

 

[the-gerringong-jet]

How do we feel about the 2nds comp, me personally I see joeys as a favourite

Joeys I reckon will be tough to beat but if there’s any team to give them a run for there money on their day it’s the Riverview boys. It will be an interesting match up in a few weekends time.

 

[The Cleaner]

Osbourne over Bloomfield? You there mate

 

[The Cleaner]

Gough at 12?? Base on form Keone from N outperform by far. Ball playing and running 12? Some of these players will not be playing GPS unfortunately.

 

[Srgnt Short Ball]

As their honorary spirit animal I would like to know more about the team.

addressing the forum broadly there has been significant interest in this year spaghetti cup, as a man with intimate knowledge of the comp and more specifically views very own nic9ths I will do my best to regularly update the forum on the landscape of the socials division of GPS rugby. before my synopsis I would like to thank the @Joker for his support in the team, I hope he will be in attendance in 2 weekends time to watch the most important match in the spaghetti cup calendar of riverview vs joeys.

now; there are 5 teams in the spaggeti cup this year, unfortunately shore couldnt feild a team
1. views Nicotine 9ths
2. joeys Nicotine 9ths
3. Kings eightball 8ths
4. scotts 7ths
5. newington 7ths

Joey and View are the teams to beat this year and will likely be the deciders of each others fates this season. View beat scotts 10ths by over 80 in the pre-season before taking on their 7ths and getting a good win of 27-5 with a few biffs along the way, a very gritty game. Additionally view toweled up newighton by over 60 points. view are yet to play kings and joeys. Similarly Joeys put a massive score on newington and this week beat kings 58-7.

As the stage is set for a game to determine the champs of what is arguably the 3rd most important grade of GPS opens rugby joeys and riverview are rearing for a grudge match filled with gritt, determination and biff. @Joker hope this update and those that follow are appreciated.

Cannot overlook Anakin from N also, accuracy in lineout is a must for hookers.

Joeys 5?

 

[fortheloveofthegame]

Osbourne over Bloomfield? You there mate

i’m with you on that.

 

[Jakeburner65]

That Riverview front row has been causing all sorts of problems for opposition this year, including Kings and Newington. A real highlight.
