NSW AAGPS 2025 (banter and commentary)

[twister29]

Massive news for Shore 2XV with Henry Sherington (7/8) out with an ACL tear for the rest of the season. Best of luck to him in recovery and hope to see him back on the field.

Where is View vs Shore being held?

I was at the game. Joeys came from behind in the 2nd half to win by 24-18. They just wore TAS down in the final 25 minutes with very efficient play and were probably a bit more match fit. But TAS played well - they have some outside backs with speed and some big forwards. I expect that they will trouble some sides this year, especially at home in Armidale.

Given the various issues with the forum last week, I was unable to publish my usual round 1 preview and report, but I plan to recommence prior to round 2 of the 3rd XV competition which is Saturday 14 June.

This fits with my perceptions after watching the high matches. All three tas open teams were sharper than last year. I couldn't judge against the top Sydney schools so the Joeys match was a critical hit out. It's normal for tas to start the season slowly because the boys don't have access to the same level of preseason competition as in Sydney.

Will be interesting to see how this propagates through the ranks

Could they make a run at the top this year Jim?

Bit of a treat before the Thursday games - Extended stats

Newington or someone from Newington at the top of every single measure.

Will SJC get a bit turnout at the Death Star on Thursday? Obviously it is compulsory for the Joe Boys to attend every 1st XV game and with a much win game for them this weekend, will they consider giving the boys an early mark to go and support their school? Same with TKS, what is the prediction for their crows on Thursday?

All the Joe Boys will be at Scots on Thursday for firsts & seconds as usual

As I said, Joeys is cancelling all classes after lunch and forcing all boys to Scots, meanwhile Scots is doing the norm and only cancelling the last period, will be a tough one for scots...

New to the forum, but thought I would give my 2 cents worth. Should be a good game , but backing view in this one. Shore coming of a devastating loss and still without galligan will not help. Although during the 2023 long weekend riverview did lose to shore despite being heavy favourites with the likes of grover and dillon.
