NSW AAGPS 2025 (banter and commentary)
- Thread starter Joker
- Start date
Don't have a team list as it's only Monday but with a few back rowers out looks like either Lucas Large or Dan Ibrahim will get the call up. Keep in mind they both got a run on the weekend. Exciting to see who they pick against the Iggies boys this weekend.

Disappointed when watching Streamer replays to hear the borrowing of chants and warcries. I do appreciate that it is hard to create new chants and it it’s important/necessary to draw from the chants of sports teams and schools outside of the GPS.
However, it is important to have respect and acknowledge the creativity, devotion and effort put into these chants by boys. Boys are taking the dedication and innovation of other schools, and simply inserting their schools name. I do not appreciate this. It takes away from a lot of the point of warcries and school culture, often voiding the original school from being able to do their chant because ‘everyone is doing it’ and it is not their own any more.
A specific example of this is a chant from Shore that I saw created and developed over the course of last season. I was very happy to see this creativity in the art of warcries and did not hear anything similar from any other school before, during or after. Until the TKS replay from Saturday.
Just some thoughts.

Gents,
Unfortunately I can't provide a full team list as its too early in the week. I have however knowledge from Scots sources at some changes to the 1st XV lineup. Number 7 Cooper Guerin is set to be replaced by Michael O'connell due to his dislocated shoulder. Also Lemoto suffered a Labral tear to his right shoulder and is out for at least three weeks, set to be replaced by Dubbo's biggest rig Lucas Large.
Cheers
Phil

Was right next to them. Loud and proud they were.

I was also close by. The booing during kicks - and jeering when they were missed - was regular. And these are not 'any rugby events in the world', they are GPS games where absolute silence during kicks is expected. The New boys know this as well as anyone. Better to stop making excuses for it and just let it be known it's not acceptable and should not happen again.

Does anyone have a report on the Scots number 5 with his supposed suspension?
It was serious enough for a medicab to be rolled out. The booing did absolutely start from then. Feel free to watch the replay on streamer if you need to be assured. The first 2 kicks by the joey's kicker - no booing. New kid went down with about 10-15 to go in the first half and wasn't moving for about 2 minutes. In that time Joeys score, that is when the first boos happened. I was standing right next to the New contingent so I feel well qualified to query your incorrect assertions - and the replay will confirm what actually happened. Please don't make things up. Should the booing have happened? No. And the Sportsmaster did speak to the kids at half time and they didn't boo after - there were unfortunately a few old boys towards the end though who made some noise for the last couple of Joeys kicks. Whilst we are talking about the match - the Joey supporter/lout yelling out at the top of his lungs when the new kicker missed his only conversion at the end of the first half wasn't great either.....

Considering Scots is probably the worst ground for getting to and most games were called off so boys were not out and about, Shore has done bloody well to have that many there. Albeit a proud Shore associate, Shore always has a good crowd at home and away games, not only in numbers, a loud & proud presence. Shore’s cheer captains this year and the last few have a great job in building such a culture.
