NSW AAGPS 2025 (banter and commentary)

[2013-2017]

Biggest ref stitch up I've seen in a while by that bloke yesterday. My goodness.

New had an awful first half but my word....... <Bites tongue>

Have heard a lot of controversy around the last Scots try to win, does anyone have sufficient evidence?

Here we go... Scots win and there's gotta be something wrong with it, can anyone be happy they fought their backsides off and won an absolute ripper as complete underdogs against the competition heavyweights?? 1 person tipped for them in the tipping comp, not even I did. Complete 100-1. Imagine Scots won the prem, can't imagine the excuses they would get.

Ben Wright (Yr 10) up against the country's best back in Heamasi, and he did very well. Jock Sides (#6) did extremely well too, he just has no fear, he's a smokey for high GPS teams at either #2, back row or 2nd row, he can go anywhere. The country tikka from #4, #6, #7 especially, are just too good.

If only Scots played like that every week, against Joeys especially the defence was out the window.

 

[2013-2017]

Pretty sure St Joseph's College Gregory Terrace up in Brisbane has the 2nd most of all time behind Joey's

There's a great website that ranked it worldwide, for AUS it goes: (as of last year)

1. Joeys Hunters Hill
2. Nudgee
3. TSS
4. Scots (scots and kings very close)
5. Kings
6. Brisbane State High
7. Gregory Terrace
8. Anglican Church Grammar
9. Newington
10. Waverley
11. Marist College, Ashgrove
12. Brisbane Grammar
13. Sydney Grammar
14. Riverview

No Shore on this list and Riverview so low...

*note this is the methodology: (how they rank it)

Senior Internationals: 230.40 Points

Under 20 Internationals: 48.30 Points

Under 18 Internationals: 129.60 Points

Rugby World Cup: 14.80 Points

School Championships: 43.31 Points

TOTAL POINTS: 466.41

Unfortunately I see both of them being overlooked for Gps 1s due to the likes of Lemoto, Fonua and Justice who will likely make up the back row.

Ghattas did play GPS 1s last year... interesting to see if the selectors will move him back into Hooker to keep him in the side

 

[Srgnt Short Ball]

Will Taylor kings 10 is only year 11, most likely won’t crack GPS 1s side with the fact they ussaly give year 12s the nod in that situation.

think view 10 probably deserves it at this stage with him winning that battle on the day at the white.

agreed. massive step-up from last year, crucial player in views winning formula

Please help us out here, if you can. PLEASE POST RESULTS ON THE TIPPING, SCORES & TABLES CHAT! Thanks.

 

[Backintheolddays]

Can get you Kings Tues Wed sorry. Believe Kings won all A’s except a draw in the 15s but do not have scores.

What happened with the Newington prop's yellow card?

Overzealous officiating

think view 10 probably deserves it at this stage with him winning that battle on the day at the white.

If this is the case (giving yr 12 the nod in those situations), I think that the front row would likely be #1 TKS, #2 TKS and #3 View. Bloomfield is in year 11 I think and Osborne yr 12. With Ghattas playing at 7 but still throwing lineouts, I'm not that would get him in the #2 spot and there are possibly a few #7's in front of him whether it be in size or speed.

 

[THESHORTPILL]

Must be very exciting for the boys from lane cove Winning head of the river and potentially winning the gps. Hopefully the boys from new can get the ball rolling again

 

[The Cleaner]

Not sure he’s there yet. Got a great forward pack in front of him. Looked a bit clueless against View and I thought New game management and kicking was excellent ( in the Kings games) but couldn’t go with the forwards.

New #12 at that game had a better kicking game than their #10(King) I thought. He ran the ball too much in that game. TKS #10 has definitely improved from last year. Be interesting to see where they put him.

 

[jester23]

Does anyone have the results from all of joeys opens team all from the weekend.

I see, then Bloomfield will not be picked as he is only in year 11.

 

[Jakeburner65]

yes, interestingly the two teams who voted for fred to play at his judiciary were joeys and riverview ! props to joeys for that, wanting to play view at their best. shows character.

Is this correct? Not sure that's how it works.

I understand that the teams involved and the next opponents' reps sat it out. So it would have been Kings, New and Scots saying: "A chance to weaken View against Joeys and improve our own schools' relative positions? F*&k yeah."

Glad the play didn't work. It shouldn't have been a red on Garling in the first place. There were no hands, but there also was no head contact, and he was visibly pulling out of the contact. Meanwhile Lemoto knocks some kids block off same round, resulting in injury, with no action.

The same ref also awarded a weak AF Shore scrum a bunch of penalties as they were being physically demolished, including for, get this, Riverview pushing too much.

I think Smith from Kings has the #2 in the bag.
