NSW AAGPS 2025

[twister29]

Gents,
Unfortunately I can't provide a full team list as its too early in the week. I have however knowledge from Scots sources at some changes to the 1st XV lineup. Number 7 Cooper Guerin is set to be replaced by Michael Oconnel due to his dislocated shoulder. Also Lemoto suffered a Labral tear to his right shoulder and is out for at least three weeks, set to be replaced by Dubbo's biggest rig Lucas Large.
Cheers
Phil

Someone serious please confirm Lemoto’s status. They tried to pull this one last week as well.

I understand the Newington booing was disrespectful and it seemed an coach/teacher told the crowd off, however there was a Newington player on the ground injured for a significant amount of time and play wasn't stopped. This then resulted in a try for Joeys down the left hand side with a one man overlap. Obviously missed by the referee and the touch-line referees too. Hard to excuse booing, particularly in schoolboy rugby, yet a somewhat warranted overreaction from the Newington crowd.

The injury was was not 'missed' by the refs or ARs. Play does not stop for injuries unless the injury is serious or interfering with play. Nor was this the reason for the booing, which happened for most kicks and began well before this incident. People need to stop making pathetic excuses for this and just own it.

How did the Shore cheer squad go yesterday? Notoriously difficult to get out to Bellevue Hill but some great Newboys went from Stanmors to Hunters Hill

Was right next to them. Loud and proud they were.

 

[RushingRob]

Personally, i dont see Joeys "obviously" at the top. As it is compulsory for the boys from Joeys to go out to the games, i would expect them to be way louder than they are moving them down the rank to 2nd. I must say though i like there new "footy" chant. My revised list is as follows:

1. Shore (always coming up with new chants, bring strong culture everywhere they go)
2. View/Joeys (similar to shore, they are always bringing the culture. More so view, than Joeys. Joeys only in second because the amount of boys they bring.
3. Scots (same chant every year, time to change it up)
4. King (only good thing is their cheer captain, the rest of the crowd is dead)
5. Newington (obviously)

Same chant? Please elaborate

Thanks for providing the info regarding when play was stopped. In regards to the booing, I was close by and didn't hear any booing until that incident and also only heard booing for the conversion attempt after the try, which is uncalled for. Where i believe you're mistaken is that they were making noise for conversions, not exactly booing however. You go to any rugby event in the world, there is noise from the opposing fans and not always booing.

I was also close by. The booing during kicks - and jeering when they were missed - was regular. And these are not 'any rugby events in the world', they are GPS games where absolute silence during kicks is expected. The New boys know this as well as anyone. Better to stop making excuses for it and just let it be known it's not acceptable and should not happen again.

The same "come on you boys in blue, come on you boys in gold" chant gets thrown around every year, as well as the same songs being played on the bagpipes. Switch it up Scots!

 

[PigSkin]

I agree with you there, @The Ruckman. I was in attendance at the game and was uncomfortable as the Scots boys were not making any comments towards the King's boys. Also, the parents were between the two crowds, there for (for lack of better words) in direct line of fire of the King's chant. With Scots old boys known for attending games, this was unsettling, and furthermore, the King's teachers made no effort to stop their students hope that this doesn't happen again to any other school that versus King's.

Then don’t come and steal the King’s Shield. Derrrrrr

We will find out Thursday 5pm when final team lists come out.

Not just for this weekend but a general crowd ranking:
1. Joeys/shore
2. Joeys/shore
3. View
4. Kings
5. Scots
6. New

The reason I've got Joeys and shore up the top together is shore usally has less crowd than the boys from hunters hill but the more. This is because its not compulsory for the blue and white men. Joeys always produce the numbers as its compulsory but only a quarter if that are fully into the chants and war cries. View and kings always produce good Home and away crowds. Scots had a simalar amount of boys there than shore on saturday which isn't amazing. Newington have mediocre home crowds, and pretty much no away crowd

P&D

Scots had close to double Shores numbers.

 

[Xavier_Breslin]

Does anyone have a report on the Scots number 5 with his supposed suspension?

 

[The Chairman]

Scots had close to double Shores numbers.

Well anothernudge you would hope so given it was at Bellevue Hill…

From what i’ve heard and seen the shore chanting and drumming was much louder than TSCs…

But I am not one for this type of approach. Well done both sides.

 

[Rookie21]

Scots had close to double Shores numbers.

You'd like to think so but the Shore crowd brought more energy.

It was serious enough for a medicab to be rolled out. The booing did absolutely start from then. Feel free to watch the replay on streamer if you need to be assured. The first 2 kicks by the joey's kicker - no booing. New kid went down with about 10-15 to go in the first half and wasn't moving for about 2 minutes. In that time Joeys score, that is when the first boos happened. I was standing right next to the New contingent so I feel well qualified to query your incorrect assertions - and the replay will confirm what actually happened. Please don't make things up. Should the booing have happened? No. And the Sportsmaster did speak to the kids at half time and they didn't boo after - there were unfortunately a few old boys towards the end though who made some noise for the last couple of Joeys kicks. Whilst we are talking about the match - the Joey supporter/lout yelling out at the top of his lungs when the new kicker missed his only conversion at the end of the first half wasn't great either.....

 

[anothernudge]

I never mentioned who was louder, just my observation there were far more Scots boys, not "similar amount of boys to Shore"

 

[footyhead1]

Julian Minto is a freak. Lots of Max Jorgensen about him

Please. Cheering when a kick was missed, are we going there? Well, the Joeys supporters certainly cheered when the New kicker missed. Maybe not as apparent because he didnt miss as many

His try in the 2nd half was crazy good. Only found out after the game he could be in 16s! Plays above his weight

Gents,
Unfortunately I can't provide a full team list as its too early in the week. I have however knowledge from Scots sources at some changes to the 1st XV lineup. Number 7 Cooper Guerin is set to be replaced by Michael O'connell due to his dislocated shoulder. Also Lemoto suffered a Labral tear to his right shoulder and is out for at least three weeks, set to be replaced by Dubbo's biggest rig Lucas Large.
Cheers
Phil

Can confirm this as I have insider knowledge on the scots teams. Fullback O Large is set to be replaced by Narromine local Tom Dennis due to a Hip flexor tear. Dennis will look to play eyes up footy and use his speed and size.

 

[bomber06]

We will find out Thursday 5pm when final team lists come out.

Do the team lists get released anywhere for all the sides? At Newington they used to release team lists last year for all grades, but they dont seem to be doing it this year - but not sure if the opens teams need to be released somewhere.
