NSW AAGPS 2025 (banter and commentary)

[footyhead10]

Yeah dragging it a bit after the game but fair enough but just shows banter went both ways and was fine

 

[twister29]

Any insight into what happened in Stanmore?

I understand the dragon was slain... Why? Plenty of chat about how Newington being dominant and by far the season favourites, has Kings taken their place or is it just a sign of an even steven season?

 

[fortheloveofthegame]

how did the ref miss the direct shot by the Scots forward on the Joeys winger in the second half? Direct contact to the head, the player was knocked into next week and not even a penalty. There must be a review of that.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

For Shores sake I hope all the forwards that went off hurt are ok for Kings who have a pack like Newington.

 

[wisemaan]

All of them will play. I’m sure of it

Newington played a 2nds team, I counted about 6-7 faces who wouldn't make the starting XV with a healthy side

Looks like New started believing their own hype

Having 5 players out doesn't help mate. Ease up

 

[Backintheolddays]

Can't speak for who was out from New but Kings forwards were very impressive. Could have been a bigger margin, several easy goals missed, poor kicking in general play and looked under threat when New went wide which kept New in it.

That would also explain the closeness of the II's which surprised me. Kings a tad unlucky there at the finish.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

All of them will play. I’m sure of it

Fingers crossed. The couple right before HT didn’t look great but got themselves off which is good.

 

[The Chairman]

Did Ben Sawyer play for Kings today?

 

[Backintheolddays]

Nope

Hate to be rude as I don't remember the number but the read-headed boy did play exceptionally well in regards to kicking and Kings number 3 I thought was quite dominant in contests.

I think it will just be Reardon. Stock, Jarret are definitely playing. Armati apparently concussion and shoulder. I think it’s partially rumours, hopefully he’s fine. If not I reckon Greens gone and they will give Cowdery another crack.

4 down 6 to go

Bagging another try today in a losing effort, Bailey Roberts-Lintmeijer (Newington) remanins atop the try-scoring leaderboard, but a hat-trick for Jack Plamondon (Riverview) and a double for Jock Sides (Scots) put them into the fold.

Callum Grantham (Newington) had another splendid day in a losing effort, converting 3/3 to push his personal conversion rate to 90% - that is an error on the sheet.

To the surprise of nobody, Shore remain the worst offensive and defensive team in the competition, with Newington still being the best attacking, and Riverview taking over as the best defenders.

Hopefully my Shoremen can turn it around.

Onwards and upwards into the last round before the break.

 

[bomber06]

New were much smaller than kings. Big reason they lost. 3 or 4 starting forwards out with some 2nd XV and U16s playing. That was the difference

 

[Jakeburner65]

Congrats to Kings. New had a couple out, but you can only play what’s in front of you. Will have to watch the match. Giant killers!

Yes Kings forwards rumbled

TKS halfback played well and scored a great individual try early when the game was close

I have to say the New wingers were both outstanding in a losing side - created breaks every time they touched the ball

 

[bomber06]

New played poorly but ultimately not having 5 or 6 starters hurt

Unfortunately sounds like Scheck has done his shoulder and won't appear at all this season without playing.

Viliamu who had his first game at LHP played well in his first start but went off looking poorly.

Makasini again not.playing today plus their skipper and no 8, plus starting lock Kupu .

 

[bomber06]

Grantham had 2 or 3 moments of brilliance but was poor today. Some very bad kicking options in general play
