Basing your assessment on just two players is a bit superficial.This has been a strong Newington age group since the 13s and will continue to improve into the opens .Their success is due to excellent teamwork. In executing great support play as a playing group.So although Balmain Stubbies, is...

It varies enormously, some 16As will be springboards for GPS priernierships.Other not likely.In my experience having observed various teams, it is dependent on how two age groups blend together.Additionally the depth each age group possesses.As well, Between 16-18 years boys can undergo enormous...

Hello Halfbackenthusiast Which schools could be included. I believe and stated before, on this site that the most likely schools, are not in Sydney, but in Canberra. Hence:- Canberra Grammar St. Edmunds College Daramalan College ( My apologies, if i Have misspelled the schools name) Marist...

Hello Syd As a former teacher, who taught at Kings on a Part-Time basis only just recently, I can say the attitude of the boys in the classroom or around the school, was nothing short of brilliant. On at least two occasions, being new to the school and not aware of where to go, boys without...

Warn then you did, Joker, now their victims of their own Hubris. They thought they knew better. Now their commentaries are confined, to oblivion.

I would agree, we are defensive because as expressed, this site has been subjected to constant attacks by trolls, who've have nothing better to do, than belittle some great Rugby schools. As mentioned before, the trolls seek to divert attention from the real issues of schoolboy Rugby, such as...

Clearly you are new to the site, this is a GPS site, so what happens within the CAS system is within their system, not ours. Historically, we are different systems, so I not going to comment on their approach to schoolboy Rugby. It's that simple.

Hello Joker A magnificent reply, it seems these trolls only want to trash successful Rugby schools and neither care or are interested in actual GPS Rugby. For they neither talk about, say the brilliant Joeys Brilliant Rugby program and neither give it the credit it deserves. They will blame...

Hello Joker; For the trolls who can be easily identified and intend to cause Mischief. I stand by the Movie "Lawerence of Arabia" in a scene where the Arab Cavalry, are attacking the Turks, Actor Peter O'toole playing Lawerence, yells out "Take No Prisoners. An approach we need to apply on...

Hello Syd That commentary was product a product of a Shore troll, who have no intention of serious discussion. These students have invaded this site, and filled it with fictional propaganda. As well as revealing, they are incompetent commentators. So Syd stop playing to the adolescence crap...

I believe Newington had anything up up to sx players out, either playing in the firsts or seconds. Many I have been told, were backs. So your expectations of Shore 16As, are higher than they deserve. A full strength Newington 16As, would have accounted for Shore. There seems to be a lot of...

Hello Joker and love rugby, by any stretch of the imagination, that is very much having been taken to the Cleaners. However, we must remember, that the Canberra Competition, isn't The Sydney GPS. In Canberra Loverugby, I am sure you are aware the Marist Canberra are one the stronger forces...

Hello Schoolboy Import I am getting a good feeling about Newington for 2023. I have also noticed "How down to Earth" these evaluations are by people such as yourself . No boasting that about premierships or that these players will dominate next year. Just they show great skill and talent and to...

Hello loverugby020 Just wondering by what yardstick, would you justify such an assessment. Wallabies produced Australian School boys produced Number and quality of teams produced In their first match of the year, Joeys played Marist Canberra. I can't not remember all the results. But overall I...

Good to see Shore making a comeback. But Competition will tight from the other five schools.

Hello Goosestep One of the issues being a passionate Old Boy on this site, is I tend to express myself in a direct manner. So please forgive for my lack of diplomacy. I also appreciate your comments on Newington's competitiveness as aGPS School.

Hello too little to late, Thank you for your kind words.They are deeply appreciated. My passion for boarding and for it to be expanded at Newington, originates from University days, where unlike my schooling, I Lived in University colleges. The benefits of residing in such colleges, is the...

Please ready my post again, if you are referring to my win & lost and post at no stage do I say they are better. Simply, that they are winning more than they are losing,regarding their A Teams. It is not a comparison between two particular schools. Rather, an overall summary of Newington's...

Hello Goose-step Never to the same extent as at Newington. As an Old Boy of the school, I hardly describe myself being hard on a school I love. I simple point out the inherent difficulties, that exist at Newington. Further more , these difficulties are understood by other Old Boys, who support...

Hello marlins merchant Difficult to say for a number of reasons. Depth at Newington is a major concern. They field 6 teams in the open division, but still have to compete with Aussie Rules, who have two open teams and soccer has about 10 teams in the opens. So a lot of boys go elsewhere other...
