If you could keep track of these throughout the year this would be fantastic then we can compare and contrast.

For it is an inevitable cycle. I thought character education was still a big part of AAGPS schools? Maybe they forgot the online part. I would just wonder if anyone would have the courage or conviction to act like this if they weren't behind their little monikers and names. Oh well it is what it is.

 

[NGRUGBY_]

Anyone got any idea if there has been a PONI squad announced this year, as I haven't seen one anywhere? If not, then anyone know why not?

The problem with these is that they are put together by someone who (from what i have seen) has only watched one of the games and just fills in other spots with what is read in the chat. It would be awesome if someone

It would be great if all games for the week are watched by the person that puts these together. When I have looked at them in the past, I think some are just put in there because the boy was in the winning side. If you look at it from a positional perspective there is a lot to consider

 

[Milly Maroje]

AAGPS is a whole other level. Sorry to burst your bubble.

would beg to differ top CAS vs top GPS certainly go head to head.

Yes but I get a good understanding as I need to watch all games to put stats together.

That forces me to watch c. 25 minutes of each game which I think is a fair enough sample space to which you can fill the gaps in.

Its not perfect, but I will try my best.

100% MOD, I don’t hear much about those players who constantly throw themselves into rucks with no regard for their own bodies, only for the ball to come out and find the line. They are the true heroes of rugby, always doing their job and not looking for glory.

Personally I think the camera work isnt good enough to get a full read on the game.

Hi mate, just letting you know I have watched every game.

Cheers.

Nice. I watch them all as well and focus on specifics of the positions and less about the outcome of the game. Its when the TOTW comes out 1hr after the games are finished that i think people are just filling in blanks with names that they have heard previously.

Anyone got any extremely early GPS 1st XV predictions? -STB

Okay, okay, hear me out
Scots, they are looking extremely promising and will be hungry after last season
Newington, there always A strong side
Joeys no need for an explanation
Riverview is looking stronger than Kings this season, not too hard to achieve that though
Kings, once again, no need for an explanation
shore unlucky

"Oh, may the pigs"

 

[Famed_Star]

This is a AAGPS forum so i am sure many other would agree champ

Particularly when the only measuring stick we have is the Barker v Shore game titled premiers v premiers.. which Barker won.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

If it's not played in the same year with the same XV it's a meaningless exercise but cute Instagram graphic.

 

[Joker]

Absolutely, I feel like there are too many schoolboys in this forum. @Joker maybe consider closing the forum for a bit.
This forum is to talk about the likeness of the AAGPS Rugby

You do not know that many of the members here are students who seem to be able to behave very well. There are of course those who come in here are stir up trouble, but they are quickly identified, reported and I bring down the hammer.

I pride myself of engaging with the students as they can provide a wealth of information and insight. These students are encouraged by many other members to continue to show their maturity. I recently met many of them. It pleases me that one day when I go the thread will be in good hands.

Yes, there are some like to mess around but they soon find out what is behind my back.

There’s a few unwritten rules of the crowds from the gps. However the majority of the cheering/jeering is controlled by the teachers supervising. Sometimes the teachers there don’t watch the rugby and just watch the crowd to make sure no one is saying anything negative!

So true, but it's becoming a joke. Scots crowd weren't even allowed to do the "hey hey hey, goodbye" after Shore got given a card. and then there is Kings doing the "... are wankers" and "what do we think of ....? shit!"

We also couldn't even run a little closer to the touch line when the 1s and 2s were celebrating the win, we just had to celebrate 5 metres away, it was like social distancing. Shore couldn't even storm the field when they won their first championship in like 56 years, what a joke.

I'm all for respect between the greatest schools in the southern hemisphere, but there is a line, and singing goodbye or storming the field is not across that. I believe that swearing in chants aimed towards the other school, or booing or disrupting conversions, is across that line.

Teachers need to be given a blanket rule across all schools, as do the boys, so they know what's right and wrong.

Any opinions?

Completely agree; some schools have it terrible from their soft teachers.
