NSW AAGPS 2025 (banter and commentary)

[Joker]

You don't fix a leaky boat by rearranging the deck chairs.
You do it by addressing the leaks first and avoiding "the Icebergs"
In my opinion Joeys backs will do well by addressing their tackle technique.
You can't bring down a giant by going high. You chop their legs off!

 

[Mule Backup]

Yeah cheers gumnut it would be great to hear back from you

Im not too sure about that change. As we all know he is a machine in the fowards but just not too sure how 12 will look for him. I will try get down to the game and let you gents know how he goes.

Gumnut out.

Makasini put on a great hit and had some nice touches, but i think the 3 other wingers in that game alone were better than him

 

[The Ruckman]

Makasini's hit was bone crunching. Around the 21st minute on the clock for anyone looking to see.

 

[Mule Backup]

I personally dont think O Tremlett played that well as he missed most of his conversions and only made one good penalty shot.

 

[Goblingang]

Anyone got any extremely early GPS 1st XV predictions? -STB

Here's my opinion...

Scots are looking promising this year. They’ve got the potential, and a good game from the team would really put up a contest for any team.

Newington is always a strong side. You can never count them out, solid structure and physicality year in, year out.

I think Joeys speaks for themselves. Consistently strong team, but don't know if would classify them as the strongest.

Riverview is shaping up to be a pretty strong team, though don't think they will be strong enough to make top three.

Kings - idk. After stumbling upon some odd (to say the least - GRWM) videos of a few team members, think they might be a bit soft.

Shore - honestly, unlucky. Was a strong matchup against Scots, though if Tremlett made a few more kicks, game wouldn't have seemed as close as it was. Think they will be a strong side, top 3 bound.

So, who takes it? My gut says Scots, but as always with GPS rugby... anything can happen.

Thats it from The GGang.

Any thoughts on Newington U16s number 8 and 2nd XV bench player Hunter Hall? In his limited minutes in the 2nd's he has been an offensive force and on defense he has put on some big shots. Against Joeys he made 2 big breaks through the middle and one massive shot on one of the Joeys forwards in about 15 minutes of play. Might be a chance to start in the near future.

[boldbastard]

yeah heard hes fitness is very poor

 

[Footy head]

He plays 60 minutes for U16s then backs up for 2nds every week, so I would doubt that.

[Newingtonga15]

How are you ranking Scots above a Newington team which is still undefeated?

Scots scraped a win over a seemingly weak Shore side and lost to Kings.

 

[BITTA_footy]

When he came on, New scored 4 tries in the last 15 minutes...
And Joeys scored 1..

 

[The Ruckman]

Yes, he is a very impressive player coming through the U15 representative pathways last year making his way into the Waratahs U15 team. He is highly effective with the ball and occasionally in defence however fitness and work rate around the field is his downfall. High potential and lots of talent but just needs to work hard.

 

[Bricknissey]

Hey all,
Brick here, I was just wondering everyones predictions for this upcoming Saturday round. I will try my best to make it out to as many games possible but most likely the Newington-Shore game this weekend, considering how well Newington are playing at the moment.
Regards.

Hey @Joker keep this guy in the tipping forum

 

[gothenewboys]

newington have got lucky in multiple games and are not going to finish anyway near the top of the table

As the saying goes - "You make your own luck"

 

[Mannix Jorgenson]

Early GPS 1st 15 teams list predictions?

 

[Comeonmate]

Anyone possibly know the timestamp of the mikensi hit?

 

[Mannix Jorgenson]

Did you mean Makasini?

 

[Comeonmate]

yes

 

[The Ruckman]

21st minute on the clock, if you're watching on streamer, it should be around 33rd minute on the video.
