NSW AAGPS Rugby 2016

[Wristman]

Summary Joeys Rugby Season 2016

41 teams fielded
26 teams undefeated
81% of all games won
16's age group most successful with 84%

An unknown fact that there was a "champion rugby school" shield awarded firstly in 1922 to Joeys for best winning percentage. This trophy was discontinued in 1986 when NO other school had even won it. Shield sits in College archives and has not been on display for over 50 years.

Impressive percentages but they don't seem to be translating too well to premierships.
Nine years and counting now between premierships.
In that time Scots, Kings, Newington and Riverview have all won.
Where are things going awry?.............be interested to get your perspective.

 

[sidesteppa]

One of the longest kicks I have ever seen at Newington. 52 metres out. No time left. L. Day does it again after his match winner at View. Best kicker in the GPS this season. Joeys did well to restrain themselves from invading the pitch on mass. Day was chaired from the field. Newington players were good sports and were able to congratulate the Joeys boys. Frantic game.

Last 3 mins of the game at Stanmore

Sidesteppa you captured the essence of GPS Rugby. Well done on all your work this year. You rock!

3rd XV's comp
Grammar 1's 12 - High 1's 7very close, highly contested game, both sides were denied a try each, unlucky i guess

Geez High almost pinched it at the end as well. Camped inside Grammar's 22 for what seemed like an eternity.

Grammar defended well to hold them off though.

Credit to High for putting up a fight, but I must say that even on perhaps one of Grammar's worse days, they still beat High having their best day. Not a good sign for High rugby to say the least, especially considering they went through the season winless in the 3rd XV comp. Where to next?

I wouldn't necessarily say that High were having their best day but yes, admittedly, they didn't really make the most of the countless opportunities they were afforded by Grammar mistakes.

With the 16s having wins against Armidale and a good loss against Grammar with lots of players playing up, the future isn't looking too grim. Depth would be an issue though....

 

[footy4life]

wow . did anyone make a tackle in the Newington v Joeys game?!

definitely a bit more entertaining than a Super rugby game!

much as I went to Stanmore to see Tyrone . it is Helu that really has been the Newington star . at least to my mind

if they kept stats, his stats would be off the charts

I gather he is related to the 2 English/Tongan internationals

so no doubt he will be destined for higher honours

As for the 2016 GPS season . one of the best IMHO . I think Shore were very unlucky, and their for and against doesn't do them justice

Joeys were a bit bizarre .. unlucky in the injury department, but un-joeys like in many ways

no doubt the catholics will be doing a post-mortem on their season, and will be back bigger and better in 2017

Oh well, given how close the 16As comp was . I think 2017 will be another awesome comp, and surely 2017 has got to be Joeys year?!

Correct Opeti Helu is related to Will Helu

With star player Jacob Katafono leaving this year, I don't know how High will do next year missing such a great talent. Only time will tell though

 

[Loose Carry]

In fact, it was a great day of rugby for Newington and Joeys. In the 13s and 14s New were winners with the 13As winning over a previously undefeated Joeys team, I believe about 28-7. The 14As took a convincing lead of 24-7 only to see a fantastic figthback by Joeys to close the gap to 24-19.

In the 15As which I didn't watch as it was at Enmore, Joeys belted New 54-0.It says something of this Joeys team as Newington had beaten every other GPS school for the last 3 weeks as well as a strong Trinity Grammar side.

The 16s I have written about

The first and second games were great display of come back rugby. With a New fight back to close a 0-19 gap to 14-19 in the seconds.

In the firsts I can understand why Joeys have 3 Australian Schoolboys, their backs keep them in the game and therefore their one point win over New.

My only concern is the state of the injury to the Joeys player in the 13A game. Some feedback would be appreciated, as it appeared to be a neck injury.

The injured player is all cleared and was back at school that evening to celebrate the winter season of sports with the rest of the school in their hall.

Thank you, Loose Carry, it appears Joeys can not only to celebrate ( which they did at the end of the game), a great last minute win. But the safe return of this young player. Newington was recently beset with a tragedy some weeks ago of one of its own. Together with the recent death of Stuart Kelly from Kings, we are all reminded of the fragility of life.

 

[sidesteppa]

15mins highlights from New v Joeys, they gave us 14 tries I think

Uncle Lee Grant has got the final Round 10 match reports up on the Schoolboys Blog, squeezing that in amongst a welter of other end of Season commitments and including doing the same for the CAS Blog, all the while fighting the demons of a blue screen of death on his own computer and having to wrestle the final results from a buggy-as-all-get out borrowed laptop. Not easily done, so great kudos Lee for your huge effort this year, mate. It's made each Round, and the Schoolboys Nationals, a real pleasure to follow through the Blogs. Very well done.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Mate that is serious sucking up - but I like it.

Unfortunately one writer went missing and there were no comments in the forum to give a few brief bullet points of the View v Scots game.

There is a blog on the GPS Season review here:

Give it a click.

Thanks to all the GPS writers who contributed during the season and to the Season Review.

Well said CJ.

I think LG deserves a huge thanks for the massive effort he puts in every week.

It takes hours and a truck load of patience to co-ordinate writers, edit their contributions, source and format pics and publish the content for just one blog.

Imagine doing that several times each week - for not just GPS, but CAS, Super Rugby etc

Three cheers Lee and thanks heaps.
