Newington have a large and talented soccer/Football playing population at the School. So if the Tahs can induce one player to rugby the exercise is far from wasted.

Anyone know how many Tah's players are Newington Old Boys, or other GPS schools old boys?

I disagree with your first statement - referring to the speed of the forward pack - almost entirely. The two named flankers (Menzies and Whiteley) can run 100m in under 11.5 seconds, whilst Hunt and Fotukava can run it in 12 flat. Despite their size Bowditch (4) and Kelly (1) also have quite a bit of toe (under 13 seconds in 100m) with room proving to be very mobile pack in 2013. Out of the 8 forwards, 5 did athletics last year.

Not quite the right thread for that sentiment Lindommer, however I abso-blooming-lutely concur with your statement.
Hopefully some of the "powerbrokers" may be lurking and snooping in this thread and "accidently" read this.

or maybe the reason for training at Newington was not a PR excercise, but a proper training session using the school facilities.
Yes NSW has very good facilities but maybe they were not available.
Sometimes training sessions are actually for training.

hmm this is true however this is nothing compaired to the news coming from castle hill recently. it is said that Capt. Hyme suffered a serious injury to the tailbone while grooming the lambs. this means that the youny fijian 10 pat 'the cain train, cones' cainous will be stepping in the inside backs for the 1st XV. charles redden is in goldburn gaol at the moment with his case pending, and its sad to say that its not looking good for the young outside back.
there is one truth in your statement however with Nado slotting into the 15 jersy the G's are looking good this season with reneker and josh d'silives doing under 16's pathways. Somehow...

now that the HOTR is over, all can be said is the amount of 1st XV representation within the 1st VIII's from each respective school. I know for a fact that this year, Newington's 1st VIII only had 1 boy (ZR) who could've potentially been in the 1st XV this year and played 2nds last year. Would be interesting to know what other schools' 1st XV players were in this weekends 1st VIII race.

Rob Black (4/5 or 6), Jamie Greentree (4 or 5) and Tom Bucknell (11 or 14) from King's 1st VIII.

Maybe they should put it in the Scholarship thread, so we can comment on how all their 1's and half their 2's came to the School?

from what I hear the bus from north of the bridge was oversized by around three seats at least

None whatsoever. No one cares about basketball. It rates right up there with soccer, golf and cross country as a school sport. Should be barred... All of them. Make them either Row or play Cricket in summer and Rugby in winter. God forsake us all if someone starts me up about ozzie rules.

i do agree with your thoughts, if such sports as winter tennis, golf, 'newfit' (basically a school based fitness program for boys who are scared to take a tackle), volleyball, basketball and water polo. Such sports at new that have recently not been as good or have relied on scholarships such as rowing, rugby and cricket for example show that if those sports were barred or had certain limits of numbers to each sport, it would allow for the big 3 original AAGPS sports as Rugby, Rowing and Cricket to thrive in numbers, participation and thus let Newington do better without reliance on sports scholarships to get them 'over the line' to gain a premiership.

It seems ridiculous that so many boys throughout the GPS are neglecting the traditional australian sports. This is why rugby numbers are dwindling across the state. Support for rugby is going down because people aren't encouraged to play rugby as younguns, preffering the easier soccer and rugby league. Oh well what can we do?
