NSW AAGPS 2025 (banter and commentary)

[Phillip R. LeCouter]

Mr LeCouter,

Just a quick one.

From my understanding H. Keeping plays hooker for the New 2nd 15. If I am interpreting you're very helpful table correctly. You are suggesting Makasini will be playing hooker tomorrow in a straight swap for 'hot head' Keeping?

Whilst I understand new director of Rugby Mr Herring is passionate about maintaining a team first mentality and accountability amongst the players surely forcing Heamasi to play hooker is unjustified?

Cheers.

thank you for the "quick one", so heres a quick response.

H.E. Keeping (nicknamed "hot head" for those who are in the know) does in fact play hooker, one of the best to ever do so (says himself). His straight swap with H. Makasini comes after weeks of analysis in the bunker and months of deep consideration from the higher ups. I have no fear H. Makasini will be a great throw of the lineout and will slot perfectly in a fabled front row, orchestrated by debutant L. Richmond at the 15 spot.

Trust the process. See you all on Augustine St tomorrow at 14:00AEST

Faithfully,
Phillip R. LeCouter - 10th Headmaster of Newington College

Absolute dribble!

Only 14As, 15As, 16Bs, 16As, 3s, 2s, 1s at Kings this weekend. Not sure about the younger A grades. Apparently, the other matches have been cancelled.

Even with the sun just starting to peek out from behind the clouds, its pretty clear that games will be won and lost in the trenches this weekend. Its going to be close range hand to hand combat for the pigs, and no place for the faint hearted I expect. Still, the other key to victory may be "playinitdowntheirend" and the big ask of the halves will be to kick it long into the corners. Will be a good test of the 10's and their game management.

All competion games are on for Newington Vs Joeys apprently. Hunters Hill staying dry?

[gothenewboys]

Isn't Kupu M suspended for the punch last week on Ashton Thomas and Henry Dempsy?

-Scrums

Scrums' N ' Bars,

From my understanding, Kupu has not being suspended. Surely very concerning for the AAGPS? Especially considering other schools strict 'no striking' policy

Are Newington wrong for the management of this issue?

Was wondering the same thing, would love to go out and watch as many games as possible.

Personally, at any other GPS school they would be suspended. They prioritise building good character within the students, not just winning footy games

Generally, the AAGPS are very reluctant to give out suspensions.

Johannes' Logan's tip tackle on the Kings Boy last year earned him one week. There aren't many red cards going around anyway so I wouldn't be surprised if he got off with a Friday detention and a strict warning from Mark Ticehurst.

I believe we do not as of now. None have been posted to the forum unfortunately keen to see some changes though.
Sincerely

rumors inside the joeys sheds say its going to be a 'hustle and bustle' game of footy where severe levels of grit will be needed, as the field is reported as muddy with spotted puddles although in playable conditions the ball will be like a tube of slippery soap, the speed of the newignton team will be key for diving on loose balls. the addition of the seconds slowest player after buddy latham, 'hot head' keeping or whatever u blokes call him will only negatively impact the squad lets hope his 'hot head' keeps the bench warm and doesnt see the SJC 1 oval.


cheers BBC

Centennial will probably close, ruling out most Shore vs TSC games...
View attachment 21906
Edit: Can't see any games happening on any of these fields, council has it on lockdown...

Shore 13 age group have been moved from Vaucluse to Northbridge already.

This is disappointing, please keep the conversation on footy and away from 'hothead' keeping.

Stop the dribble,

A tip tackle is very different to a stricking in terms of suspensions, Logan's tackle was not intentional for the boy to land on his head.

Shore's 15AXV have just been moved to Northbridge following their fixtures.

Yes but the point being that was the only suspension given out last year.

Striking probably is suspension worthy if it results in a red card, but I don't sit on the AAGPS Judiciary so...

 

[poider]

I agree with Scrummie, this Joeys side is looking particularly weak. Hopefully they can put a bit of a fight against New.

put up
