NSW AAGPS 2025 (banter and commentary)

[Joker]

This is how Newington handles cheering....

 

[theruckingdead]

Yes please enlighten us I asked this earlier with no response. I am curious if anyone has a redone teamlist?

I don't have a complete team list. But Scots will be missing Cooper Guerin (shoulder), Sam Alker (if suspended), possibly Aston Weir (had ankle problems toward the end of the game). There are questions involving Oliver Sinclair, the no. 10 - who missed this game due to surgery done around his tailbone - on wether or not he comes back into the team, seeing as Oscar Tremlett played phenomenal filling that number 10 role.

I would love to see anyones predicted lineup for next week. Cheers.

TRD out.

I heard the Kings chant started because Scots pinched the shield? All just banter.

 

[The Front Rower]

Incredible kick but still not sure why Scots got the penalty! and I'm a Scots parent if anything the Scots kid came through the ruck from the side. Anyway amazing kick and credit for the absolute composure shown, something he will remember for a very long time...

 

[PiggyPackPowerhouse]

oh yeah 100% and i agree there was some confusion and I belleive that the ref may have been slacking slightly at times not complaining

 

[twister29]

@twister29 what happened to twisters trivia??

Waiting for the 3rd round with some time on my hands, and once the GPS had got into a routine. Plan is round 1 of Twister's Trivia will be this week. Stay tuned.

Twister.

Impressive effort by New captain, no 8 Dylan Simmons for playing through popped rib cartilage for the last 20 mins of the game against Joeys.

Just watched replay on streamer. Was a great game. The 13 from Joeys - Rory O'Connor - is some player - hoping he is signed up to the right code.

 

[Joker]

other school that versus King's.

Other schools that PLAY Kings.
Versus in not a VERB
Still a teacher

 

[MaulMasterMind]

Will Simmons be fit for round 3? I'm not sure how long the recovery is for that, but it seems like a worry if not treated with care.

 

[MaulMasterMind]

Just a little search. He's a tough fella so time will tell...

 

[bomber06]

Not sure. It was announced in the DOR weekly wrap up that was sent out today so not even sure of how bad it is. Its one of those injuries if you can play through the pain, you cant actually make worse, so it isn't unheard of to stop playing. He will definitely be looked after but he is a tough hombre.

 

[foggy the foghorn]

thoughts on the GPS 16's this year. what will the backline look like???

 

[The Ruckman]

Would love to see Shore team lists as soon as possible as it should be interesting as Callaghan is back and Galligan out (most likely). I obviously understand that it is only Monday, and the players probably don't even know the team yet either. @wisemaan work your magic.

 

[BigScrum21]

Does anyone have the results for the 3rd XV Kings v Riverview game? Heard it was a close one. Interesting to see if the Kings have made any improvements or adjustments since the other weeks then when got schooled by Scots. Should be a good one to watch on the Scots Main as the competition finally commences.

Yours truthfully, honourably and sincerely

[Don't give a ruck]

I understand the Newington booing was disrespectful and it seemed an coach/teacher told the crowd off, however there was a Newington player on the ground injured for a significant amount of time and play wasn't stopped. This then resulted in a try for Joeys down the left hand side with a one man overlap. Obviously missed by the referee and the touch-line referees too. Hard to excuse booing, particularly in schoolboy rugby, yet a somewhat warranted overreaction from the Newington crowd.

 

[The Chairman]

I thought most crowds on the weekend were good.

I was pleased to see a good chunk of Shoremen out at Bellevue Hill, well voiced and great cheering from all.

Even the Newboys made the treacherous journey from Stanmore to Hunters Hill. The Iggies men are always good on the sidelines.

The standard is high for crowds this year. Lovely.

 

[2013-2017]

Not just for this weekend but a general crowd ranking:
1. Joeys/shore
2. Joeys/shore
3. View
4. Kings
5. Scots
6. New

Nah this is crazy, Scots have the same amount of boys at every Kings game at JS White, and either match or are very close to View and Shore at their home grounds as well.

Absolute joke this list, this is the definitive correct list I reckon:

1. Joeys (obviously)
2. Scots/View/Shore (all very similar, in numbers and volume)
3. Kings (lacking numbers recently, and noise is just not there unless Kings are winning in the last 5 minutes)
4. New (obviously)

 

[bomber06]

I was nearby and it wasn't great. The injured player being down certainly set things off. It did calm down after the teacher spoke to the boys but it came back towards the end. Tbf, its the first time I've actually heard such raucous booing of the kicker. It 10000% does not happen at home games. Boys would be dealt with by the seargents.

 

[PickandDriveThru80]

It will be interesting to see the Kings away crowds. The last few years has certainly been a decline for their away crowd. Hopefully the boys from Parramatta can fix this up and compete with the other schools in away games.

 

[FrontLifter101]

Personally, i don't see Joeys "obviously" at the top. As it is compulsory for the boys from Joeys to go out to the games, i would expect them to be way louder than they are moving them down the rank to 2nd. I must say though i like there new "footy" chant. My revised list is as follows:

1. Shore (always coming up with new chants, bring strong culture everywhere they go)
2. View/Joeys (similar to shore, they are always bringing the culture. More so view, than Joeys. Joeys only in second because the amount of boys they bring.
3. Scots (same chant every year, time to change it up)
4. King (only good thing is their cheer captain, the rest of the crowd is dead)
5. Newington (obviously)
