NSW AAGPS 2025 (banter and commentary)

[LookLongPlayShort]

Straight up thoughts

- Scots number 1 is both a cheeky bugger and a player with a whole lot of heart. Went 110% the whole way.

- Scots’ moments of brilliance topped a compact team performance from Shore

- Lineouts is a must focus for Shore. Scrums were smart but can only get you so much reliable territory

- I am a bit worried we will not will a game this season. But with the Aus U18s at the helm im sure this worry will be put to rest.

- Shore’s outer backline looked a bit flat and were not as dynamic and powerful as the Scots ones.

Bassingthwaighte back im assuming?, I have not been up to date recently

Brody Folkes 11 View a hard miss with probably the try of the round.

Try of the round? Looks like aomeone forgot about that little blonde kid from Joeys.

Hockey (E) also had a bloody beautiful try of a bloody beautiful kick. Time on the clock was 41:33 if you want to have a watch.

 

[Joker]

The last 10m are obscured by some schoolboys but you get the first 86m
Start at 42:45 so you get the lead up to his counter.

You can see him clearly starting his run 4/5m out from the try line. Note the corner post

Ghattas was in the thick of it. As happy as a pig in mud.
His tryline defence was enormous along side Justice T as they repelled the Wookies time and time again.
