No idea. I still think its a worthwhile question after such disappointing year from a team with so much talent...

Newington were thrown totally off kilter when their playmaker McDonald broke his hand a week before round 1.
Lussick a year ten half was pushed out to 10 and the whole balance of the side fell apart.
They lost to View in an openning round arm wrestle (1 try a piece) and were playing catch up from there.
Tad harsh to lay it all at the feet of Brad Gill and co ...

I happened to be sitting near him during a game...the premiership a year earlier might have been all due to the players given some of the odd comments I heard during a game in that very season

Sounds like the poor bugger is on a hiding to nothing.
When they lose it's his fault , when they win it's all due to the players .

Mate. when it comes to Inside Shoulder, everything New' does is wrong.
The buggers have won 8 premierships since 1896, and 1 in the last 30 years ... they're hardly silvertailing the competition.

[QUOTEI know how poor Newington's pedigree is in all sports.
[/QUOTE]
What the hell does that mean ?
New' are the gun basketball school.
They were the yardstick in rowing throughout the Michael Morgan years (ie 80S/90s).
The Soccer (football) program is on a par with anyone.
Oh yeah and their rugby has woken up in recent times and realized that to compete with the big boarding schools like View, Joey's, Kings etc you need to 'invite' a a number of athletically efficient pupils to study at your campus.

Had a couple of years in the 1's myself (not New) but school results are only of passing interest to me now.
Those of us who moved on to bigger & better things , after school , can view schools Rugby in its relevant context.
But clearly there are a number of people in the school communities , & on this site , for whom the results of the First Fifteen are of particular importance & significance & which lead on to all sorts of implications
& interpretations for them of superiority , regarding such things as , but not exclusive to , social class , breeding , masculinity , religion , education , general awareness , etc etc etc.
When it comes to playing the hand you've been dealt , anyone who has spent a few seedy nights down at Forbes St , will know that the luck of the cards will even out over a period of time , but when the cards
continually favor the same player , you start to wonder what's going on , & if you want to stay in the game you change the dealer & get a new pack of cards.

But you don't make a living or build a life on playing cards
Done that
Ron Walden (29)
Exactly ,( although as a student at Uni. that was my main source of income ), but it was you're analogy.
However if cards is the game you're playing at the time , you play to win.
