Where's the beef

Shore update at BH?
Weird decision by kings with a minute to go and 2 points behind - given a penalty about 20 out on the 15m line but opted to go for the lineout instead of the kick for goal to win the premiership. I’m totally miffed.Scots win seconds outright on the back of the draw with kings. Joeys well beaten at BH so well done scotts.
It happens. in 87 I watched joeys 1st take taps against scotts down 10-6 with 20 to go for most of the last 20. scotts defence held. they kept fringing and joeys kept taking it up.Weird decision by kings with a minute to go and 2 points behind - given a penalty about 20 out on the 15m line but opted to go for the lineout instead of the kick for goal to win the premiership.

That’s 35 years ago though with 4 point tries, looser ruck rules, and with 20 minutes to go. Don’t talk to me about Scots that year!!It happens. in 87 I watched joeys 1st take taps against scotts down 10-6 with 20 to go for most of the last 20. scotts defence held. they kept fringing and joeys kept taking it up.
Joeys 31 Kings 24 in 1stsAny confirmed scores. Cluch has crashed for me
Shore 27- Scots 24 in 1st xvAny confirmed scores. Cluch has crashed for me
Yeah don’t worry, I was in the kings team that year - we were in front of scots the whole game and then at the end of a dubiously long 2nd half our 5/8 went to kick the ball out and it hit the no 8 in the back of the head, who was ruled offside. Scots kicked the penalty and won 9-8, cruel way to lose to the eventual premiers. We were no match for Joeys the next week though!Still Hurts (it was not my year) but that intercept. 5m out. basha scored just after half time. the issue was not the penalties. the issue was most were direct in front and they should have taken the 3. they could have all afternoon. it was dumb footy.
Interesting, I imagine that confirms that it was one of the closest seasons of GPS rugby for some time.Cluch has Newington 39 Iggies 33.
Unusual season in that it looks like only Joeys have a positive points differential.
Joeys +55
Newington 0
Shore -5
Kings -6
Iggies -17
Scots -24
If you remove Joeys from the equation, then yes.Interesting, I imagine that confirms that it was one of the closest seasons of GPS rugby for some time.
27-24 brotherVery good game of rugby at Bellevue hill today. Was an outstanding game with scots obviously winning the first half and shore being the better team in the second half that was topped off with a magnificent field goal by shore to win. 32-29.
