NSW AAGPS 2023

[Double Badger]

Gotta say I love watching Noble play for View. Does everything you want a 7 to do. He’s there in cover defence, pilfers and a link from forwards to backs through support play. Backs are getting a lot of credit and deserved but when he gets in there and makes a pass it creates overlaps.

Yep Noble, never seen a bloke bounce back onto his feet so quickly. View pack recycle the ball very well and he's a big part of that as well.

[Stagnation]

best supporters have to be the view boys. Apart from joeys they have more numbers than other schools at both home and away games

Plus they have a trumpet!

 

[Double Badger]

You suppose?

fair point, absolute class act Max. Also love the way he lets his footy do the talking, too much lip going back and forth between plenty of the high profile players this year.

Best parking would have to either go to SHORE or KINGS who open up their back fields for spectators.
Best meat pie JOEYS
Best game athmosphere would have to be when SHORE played VIEW on the Thursday afternoon. Very one sided but SHORES athmosphere was unmatched.
Best BBQ item KINGS chicken and chips hits hard

1. View v Joeys rd 2 (close behind is Scots v Joeys rd1)
2. I think View have been really on this year. Credit to the boys as much as the team.
3. View v Joeys rd2
4. Rower at Joeys
5. View again but Kings got behind their boys at the View away game. Loud and rowdy. I think there has been good numbers for View at ever away game at times seeming to match the home crowd.
6. Shore retain their title with Joeys closing the gap.
7. Kings. Plenty around the internal grounds
8. Joeys with the bar but Newington will put up a challenge with the back to Newington game this week.

Note: I have an obvious unapologetic bias.

Mate don't know what Shore games you've been to, but they had maybe 30 people in the crowd when they played away vs Scots.

When View played Kings round 2, it looked as if there crowd was nearly bigger than the Kings home crowd. Kings are close behind but gotta give credit to the View boys here best uncompulsary culture in the GPS.

I have no allegiance to Shore, but like the way the school has rallied behind their rugby past couple of seasons and brought them back from the brink. Fair point though re Scots away game.

 

[AroundTheAnkles]

OK point taken, thought my points were valid and intentionally no schools mentioned.
Back onto the rugby.
Next point of discussion, I realise there has been some very good individual performances this season in the 1st XV comp, probably as many from teams lower on the table as the top. Has there been a better one than Joe Dillon's on Saturday, I thought that was a complete master class and not that I watch every game in entirety but I couldn't recall a more complete performance from a 10 in recent times. I thought it had everything. Last season maybe Max Jorgensen had a couple of games that stood out like that I suppose.

Max is a different level altogether.

[RushingRob]

Can't forget scots having more boys than Kings when they were away both times, even on Back To Kings day.

And I can't see Joeys not getting the best home supporters, EVER.

 

[RushingRob]

How's New's atmosphere been?

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Good call. They haven’t dropped the team just because of results like some other can do.

Will do wonders for the younger boys seeing it.

Have you been to any SHORE home games? possibly 500+ men in the stands cheering on the school, i went out to the SHORE vs NEWO game this weekend and saw boys sitting on the ground and walking areas trying to support the firsts. I believe that SHORE has become to have one of the better cultures in the GPS although the VIEW boys would definitely take the dub. All from me,

[dusk]

Bit of a cop-out as it's only 1 match but BTND has to be the best atmosphere for any 1st xv game.

 

[FOOTY IS LIFE]

Hopefully rupert fulton from riverview 16As can make an appearance they really missed him last week against Joeys away due to sickness hopefully hes fit and ready for this week against shore
