Never thought I'd say this again, but Glazer's here

Well, well, well, we are back and are in full throttle. Great games from View, Joeys, Newington, and Knox to see a thrilling day of rugby for the schoolboys. There were a few hiccups on the Joeys number one in the morning due to poor discipline, as well as at Knox, but that is to be expected at the beginning of a fierce season. Nevertheless, the sheer passion on every number one field was outstanding. Got around to the View and Joey's games, and wow were they great. The wonderkid Finn Leary does it again, with Xavier Ryan complimenting his ball-running ability. The effort I saw from both WC and J was outstanding; great to see as an old boy. 6, 7, 9, 15 caught my eye on the weekend as they put in the extras.

Caught the view game, and oh my word. They kept the Cranbrook boys to nil. It was a cracking attack with the key players from last years first team stepping up to dominate the Cranbrook side. Expectations this week are for Newington to win with Cranbrook coming off a tough loss. I'm going to catch the Joeys Knox game this week and the Shore game the following week, but I will make it to Scots and Riverview before the season ends.

Must say game of the day was the Joeys 2nd and 3rd XV (couldn't decide) with Patrick Thompson leading it out for Trinity with Brock Prideoux, and Aston Lebler (c) with Finn Hannon leading out the 2nd XV, it was a tight game. As well as Julian Ryan and Harry Beckett leading the 3rd XV out to have a big win against WC, well played boys.

Gotta love the footy these boys bring to the table,
Until next week, Glazer out.

Mr. K,


Key Takeaways from the Kings vs Newington Game (K38–N33)


Kings:


  • Risati (#12) – A standout in the Kings' backline, delivering moments of brilliance that shifted the game's momentum. He looks very comfortable in the #12 jersey and will be exciting to watch this season.
  • The team’s overall endurance was a major highlight and contributed significantly to their win. While Kings appear to be lacking in size, the return of key players Founa and Smith should help relieve some pressure on the forward pack.

Newington:


  • Already acknowledged, but worth repeating: Heamasi (#11) needs to be utilised more. In the few opportunities he had with the ball, he consistently gained metres or scored tries. He might be more effectively used in the centres or in crash ball plays.
  • #14 showed great speed and agility, looking dangerous every time he touched the ball. It’s been said he won the GPS 100m – can someone please confirm this?

I think there has been some confusion regarding the Minto brothers

The Joeys #15 from the game against Waverley is Julian Minto (yr10)

His older brother Declan finished at Joeys in 2024 and missed his final year of schoolboy rugby due to injury, however I believe he was apart of the Australia U18 7s side who became victorious at a global tournament in New Zealand late last year. Word has it he has gone on to sign a huge deal in France. "would’ve struggled to break into the First XV during those seasons" is hard to believe in that matter.

Very fair to say that if Declan wasn’t badly injured playing in the 1’s in Year 11 he would have been a lock for the 1’s in year 12 and would have made a number of rep teams beyond the all conquering Aussie U18 7’s team in 2024.

yep - High actually led for the whole game. When the main squad were on, High look pretty bloody sharp in the backs with some hard straight running fed by a pretty good half back. their game lost shape a bit when they apparently ran on a lot of their 2nds. ( as that game was washed out).
Shore are a brand new team as the higher grades released all their reserves pushing 11 boys from the 3rds into the 4ths so they need some time to gel.

The equivalent High firsts, shore 4ths game last year was a blow out so High look to be a lot more competitive this year. injuries permitting.

High rugby on the rise! next week's TAS fixture will be interesting.

The AAGPS tipping comp is up again.

I am once more happy to do this job. I have time on my hands as I am now medically retired.
In the past this has been a lot of fun and each year we see winners come from many backgrounds.
Last year it was a schoolboy who won (won't reveal the school)

Question?

Would like to participate this season.
Entries close on WEDNESDAY before round 1.
Just reply with an indication of wanting to join.

There are limited places again this.
In 2025 I will be deleting tippers who miss three rounds in a row.
When this happens I will invite those who missed out to join and they will start with the points of the deleted tipper.

A reminder on how this works...

TIPPING comp entries close WEDNESDAY 14 May @5pm .

Thanks Electoro, Funny guy here
My younger cousin goes to scots and provided some insight. I believe Number 4 smart had a solid game with some breaks and solid tackles. As well as the front row remaining reasonably solid with Mackenzie providing his talents. However there a lot of injurys at the moment for Scots, but hopefully this can change, so there side can be somewhat competitive as round 1 rolls around.
