But the stats for the 2014 side weren't far off.
Over 400 points with about 70 against from memory.
A lot of very good players across the park as well as a few standouts.
Certainly the most dominant side of the last decade.
Won 10 GPS games and atleast 4 trial games.
Cranbrook were unbeaten early that year with 5 from 5 and got smashed by 50 points mid season in the Battle of the Hill.

My Top 5 AAGPS Premiers teams in the past decade - mostly based on the teams I enjoyed watching:

1. 2014 Scots, as previously mentioned undefeated over 10 games, line break city, remember watching them tear apart Riverview (to my demise), a lot league boys in the team meant for some crazy offloads.
Notable Players: Angus Crichton (Roosters/Kangaroo), Guy Porter (Leicester Tigers/ 4 England Caps), Toby Rudolph (Sharks)

2. 2020 Kings, Dominant, Strong, Quick, boy where they good.
Notable Players: Will Penisini (Eels/Tonga International), Teddy Wilson (Waratahs/U20 Wallabies), Sua'ali'i’i (Roosters/Waratahs/Samoa International)

3. 2018 Joeys, A very underrated team in this list, whilst they may not have the notable players, they clicked like no team I have seen do before. There precision in every game was second to none, there ability to stay in a game, claw there way back (against Riverview and Scots), astonishing. Such an aggressive but poised team. They have set a Joeys mentality precedent for years to come.

4. 2022 Joeys, This team will be talked about for years to come, and will only age better and better, very similar to 2018 Joeys, they clicked, and with arguably the best schoolboy player in the last 10 years at their helm in Max Jorgensen, they were unplayable (or may just be some recency bias) . Max (Waratahs/Wallabies), Hiwi Sharples, Jack Barrett (U20 Wallabies), Ronan Leahy (U20 Wallabies), Joey Fowler (U20 Wallabies) - an all-star lineup, who all have potential to be special future Super Rugby players and even Wallabies.

5. 2015 NC, Remember watching this team and thinking, gee that Cameron Murray is good, whilst he did carry the team slightly, very fast and hard carrying, took them to the title.
Notable Players: Cam Murray (Rabbitohs/Australia), Bailey Simonsson (Eels), Bailey Kuenzle (Stud at the Brumbies - Currently Force)

*Honourable Mention

2021 Riverview - A deadly 9/10/12 combo. Dan Nelson (U20 Wallabies/G1 Syd Uni), Jack Bowen (U20 Wallabies/Waratahs/G1 Easts), Henry O'Donnell (U20 Wallabies/G1 Norths) - All of which are in Waratahs Academy.

Any discourse will be great, tell me what you would change.

The Kings team about 2000 was pretty strong too and would be a worthy mention with the likes of Caldwell, Mumm, Hilgendorf to name a few. I'm sure someone with a stronger TKS connection than me with rattle off a few more.

On a completely seperate note in relation to last weekends Kings v View game- i has very impressed as an old boy to see there were more View boys at the game in support. Even for a home game with about half the school boarding the turn out for Kings must be pretty disappointing for their players to see the lack of spirit.

That’s BS. I have photos showing the size of the view and kings crowds as similiar. The noise from each was certainly similiar. There are 350 boarders at kings out of maybe 1400, which is not half. Boarders and rugby players attend, not compulsory for others. I assure you that school spirit and culture is very strong at Kings at present, particularly with rugby. Kings won the 1s and 2s and about half the other games from 13s-16s which is an improvement from what happened against View last year.

2002 Kings for me is pretty hard to go past. Benn Robinson, Dean Mumm, Will Caldwell, James Hilgendorf, Daniel Halangahu, Ben Batger. Tim Davidson, Mitch Chapman & Ben Hand would have all been around that time also but might be a year either side.

I would add #4 Finnlay Bartlett (Scots) and potentially Ontini Large (Scots) somewhere in the mix.

I have to agree, even after the Headmaster switch to Paul Hine from Shane Hogan their ability to get a consistent 300-350 (home and way) boys, who want to be their, to support their mates and school is seriously impressive. Even through thick or thin and win or loss - which is where other schools fall short in their sporting culture.

There support is also more enthusiastic
