NSW AAGPS 2025 (banter and commentary)

The Kick Chaser

Any crowd reports and rankings from this week? Heard Riverview had a supportive away crowd.
1. Joeys H
2. Riverview A
3. Scots H
4. Shore A
5. Kings (not too sure) H
6. Newington (Controversial) A

Due to Joeys compulsory, they will always have unmatched energy even in their home grounds.
Riverview always have a good ground especially in their away games.
Scots probably was ranked higher because they were home, but usually have a smaller away crowd.
Shore had a decent amount in numbers but is significantly lower than their home games.
Kings I find to have an average crowd in general, correct me if I'm wrong but did not seem they had a big crowd on Streamer.
Newington, although they had a good crowd, the unsportsmanlike conduct is not appropriate for School Boy Rugby.

(I'm happy for any comments and corrections.)

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 usaully 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 similar amount of boys there than shore on saturday which isn't amazing. Newington have mediocre home crowds, and pretty much no away crowd

Word going around that kings were quite discourteous towards scots two weeks ago chanting derogatory terms towards the scots 1st XV. This was heard by staff at kings yet nothing was done. I find this quite poor behaviour especially being in this prestigious competition.
Poor work kings!

Anyone going to acknowledge Oscar Tremlett's game-winning kick on the weekend, ending the Scots loss streak against ,Shore albeit if he had held that same accuracy through the game Scots would have been several points up anyway

Very true and disappointing, I'm almost glad you have bought this up because it was awful and not in the spirit of the game. You can hear the chant at around the 47-minute mark of the Scots s Kings Game round one. All I have to say to the Kings boys and staff is " pick up your game".

I was at this game. Look, it was unfortunate to hear the kings boys chanting the way they were, but it did not go as far as any racism or other serious profanity. You could argue that the boys are just having fun, but i'd like to think the competition looks to ridicule this type of stuff.

On another note, does anyone have a predicted Scots team list for next week? An injury to number 7 and a slight problem with number 6 could see a few changes in the team. Also, the no. 10 Sinclair looks to return from surgery next week as well.

Thanks,

Totally agree. The View boys had Kings measured. I disagree with bringing Ben in at 10. Will Taylor had a great game, considering he was recovering from pneumonia over the past two weeks.

The backs missed many crucial tackles, which led to tries. Unfortunately, the No. 12 brought in for Nick Platas was the main offender. I think Platas needs to be back in the team for Joeys this weekend. He hits hard but sometimes lacks timing, he has mongrel which we lacked on the weekend.

The Kings tight five are playing well, but they’ve had the ball in hand about 40% too much. No wonder the backs were unorganised when five forwards were waiting to hit it up. View pinched way too many line-outs and the same guys were cleaning out over and over for Kings which hurt our attack. When the ball was finally spread wide through the forwards, there was a try.

I think we need more structure around field position: when the forwards hit it up and when they should run decoys. Multiple times, we were caught flat-footed with View driving us back well before the advantage line.

The boys were very disappointed. This could be the wake-up call they needed for Joeys this week. We need all that mongrel at Hunters Hill to keep that two-year unbeaten run going!
