NSW AAGPS 2024

[FastNFurious]

Lets hope next saturday is a repeat of 1984. Shore Beat Joeys convincingly in the trial. Joeys came back when it counted and accounted for SHORE 12-4. May need divine intervention for it to happen after what I watched yesterday.

As for the send off thing at Joeys, never got a no card, In year 7 I was sent off in the 13 E's for poor mauling technique (Had not played rugby before and swung my elbows hitting boys on either side of the ruck. Did have to see showbag though and that was scary.

I think its an automatic 1 game suspension so we wont see him against SHORE. The ref had no choice, though there were quite a few high shots in that game let go from both sides.

Is the automatic week a AAGPS rule? So it would apply to Scots as well.

I suspect the Scots one will be more than a week.

Sydney High 3rdXV are looking like a very promising team, better than the seconds, potentially even on the level of the Sydney High First's.

Sydney High Firsts last year beat Newington 3rds, the quality of rugby is there, and I dont think we should even be considering dropping Sydney High from the GPS comp.

Logan (J) had a red too for a pretty bad tip tackle in the Joeys match

Does that mean they are out for 2 weeks?

Week 9 of tips.
There is no respite for these.
Without a shadow of a doubt, this has been the most even of competitions I have seen in over 45 years of following these.
Any school on their day can win. Have a look at this weeks match ups. Is there a gimme?

Let me know your tips

Hawker stand will be packed beyond anything you've ever seen.

Looking forward to it. Last Saturday took a lot out of me so I am speaking to the team about if I should go.
Of course I will come!
Who else is going to eat those pies?

How good is schoolboy rugby this year!
GPS is the closest in memory
CAS finishing with a huge match this weekend
ISA stepping up with Auggies and Oakhill (the crowd and game on Saturday looked impressive)


It is a bright spot for Rugby in NSW and worth recognising - long may it last

I will be making the rounds from early on in the day. Expect radio silence after the Second XV, I will be enjoying the moment. Its been a good minute and a fair few heartbreaks since i've had a day like this. Best of luck to the lads.

@Joker
SIC + 7
Newington + 7
SJC + 5

Staying blindly parochial to the detriment of my score for the season.

I think it will be a special day for Shore

Both were pretty bad. If my son was on the receiving end of either and the protagonist only got one week I’d be disgusted.
Both could have caused serious injury and neither had mitigation.

TKS +12
NC +10
SHORE + 7

One for the good guys!

But only 1 (unfortunately it was the one that matters most)!
Still by what i can see Joeys played 25 games against Kings teams and lost 1 (with 2 unrecorded) and points were Joeys 1136 vs Kings 152, the depth at Joeys still looks OK

Both were pretty bad.

Both were deserved red but nothing more imho.

Fittlers was always going to be a big hit. He spots where the ball is going and sprints forward to make contact. Would have been a big tackle if he'd got his height right.

Depth doesn’t mean much if you’re not winning the first prize

It means everything if you think sport in the context of education is about learning resilience, team work and consistency. If you think it is about how one team goes over 10 weeks then you might have missed the point. Of course winning the big one is great, Joeys certainly know a bit about how it feels, the depth represents a collective desire to have a crack and work with your mates. That means something, probably quite a bit.
