NSW AAGPS 2025 (banter and commentary)

[Eyes and Ears]

I don’t believe there is any GPS Judiciary or citing process. I believe it is up to the individual school to determine any sanction.

 

[Sheafimports]

What an amazing and dominant performance from Kings XV over Newington.

Also a massive shoutout to the red-headed kings no.12 who was by far my standout player of the match. He was both offensively and defensively sound throughout the 80. He may of missed 1 or 2 tackles but his kicking game, and defence was nothing but superb. With this being said, If he keeps consistent, I’m sure he’s up for a strong shout in the GPS teams at a later date. Furthermore he was an absolute rock in the centres against joeys, shutting his man down, and really bringing the heat and consistency in that nail biting win last weekend.

My apologies for not knowing his name, if anyone could share that would be greatly appreciated. I’m more than confident this young lad is full of potential and would be a major and important piece to this premiership contending kings side.

HM;
Fonua (K)
Wilson (K)

Regards, Sheafy.

Possibly Will Farrah

Please refrain from the tiresome discussion on the refereeing standards of various games and grades.
Remember, with out them there are no games.

 

[The Chairman]

With 4 rounds (and team of the weeks down) I am pretty safe to say this is the form team of the competition.

Many will challenge for high places in representative teams.

1. Tancred (I)
2. Smith (K)
3. Bloomfield (K)
4. Perrett (K)
5. Muir (N)
6. Toia (K)
7. Ghattas (J)
8. Fonua (K)
9. Grover (I)
10. King (N)
11. Roberts-Lintmeijer (N)
12. Anitela-Tsloussis (N)
13. O'Connor (J)
14. Troy (J)
15. Grantham (N)

The captaincy looms large.

Farrah is 13, he is referring to Adam Stewart who is the 12. (Redhead)

long history of the Stewart family at kings, his brother Toby and forgive me I forgot the eldest brother name have both won premierships in 2018 and 2020 1st XV sides.

 

[Here for the advice]

Question for the selection does a play need to have played a position for selection? Like can a 13 be picked at 11/14 if has never played there for their school? Or are the selectors able too shuffle them ? Thinking of backrow and outside backs options.

 

[Rugbynbeers]

Players can be picked in any position, this year will see Kings, Joeys and Scots #8s all fit into the GPS 1st side.

 

[RushingRob]

Justice will play 8. He made the team last year, and furthermore, I don't see them selecting anyone over him even if it is even. If Clout is to make it they may put him at breakaway.

Lemoto IS playing 8. Played for Australia u18s when he was u17, already signed to a french club and hasn't even played union for a club, and knocked out 3 Joeys boys, including Justice.

No one else comes close IMO, they will have to put justice and clout at 6/7

Mmmmm 8 & 10 need to be changed

 

[Joker]

 

[Rugbynbeers]

Fonua, Hheinz and Justice will all make this side.

Heinz and Fonua both started for Aus 18s in a winning campaign, don’t think coaches will care what position they are in just to get all 3 on the field together.

 

[Jakeburner65]

If the ref lets Kings scrummage, it will be a cricket score. It was disappointing that this wasn't allowed to happen in the last match.

 

[Lindommer]

Hope the ref keeps in mind scrums can advance only 1.5m due to under 19 Laws.

 

[Rugbynbeers]

If a team advances 1.5m consistently you’d hope a dominant scrum penalty is rewarded at a 1st XV level.

 

[The Chairman]

If the ref lets Kings scrummage, it will be a cricket score. It was disappointing that this wasn't allowed to happen in the last match.

Thinking about it now I could not think of a more dominant front row at the moment than Lavercombe, Smith and Bloomfield. All 3 have been playing out of their skin, and would make fearful scrummaging opponents.

Controversial but I'm going to suggest their all round game and workrate is superior to the superlative 2023 edition (Nick, Bailey, Edwin, Nate) who all achieved NSW rep status. And two are only year 11.

 

[Srgnt Short Ball]

whilst these 3 have been top tier this year, I would say Osbourne Tancred and Conna definately looked just as good in the Kings vs RIverview game.

 

[bigbaldpauline]

Did Ben Sawyer play for Kings today?

should be back 4 shore i think

 

[The Cleaner]

You really think after Kings beat Joeys and New at home we'd lose to bottom place Shore? ‍‍

Anything is possible. All depends on who turns up on game day. Shore, could play as if they are playing in a GF. Like I said, all depends on who turns up to play on that day.
