His father went to St Gregory’s ( the other Marist school) and played for Souths. He was renowned as one of the quickest players in league.
I have absolutely no doubt he is paying for the privelige of his boys education.

Can't believe he is only in year 10. Some talent. The 9 and 10 in Joeys 2ndXV also excellent. Also like the 13 for Joeys 1st XV. He looks the goods.

The Controversial Penalty: A frame by frame analysis

In this presentation I will conduct a frame by frame analysis of the recent controversial advantage which resulted in the defeat of SHORE at full time. I will refer to three claims as a part of this investigation:
Claim A: A shore player intefered with the ball, impairing the placement/ability for the Scots' 9 to continue play
Claim B: Shore players were offside, resulting in the advantage call
Claim C: A shore player came in through the side during the clear out.

The Verdict

It is very tough for me, as a biased SHORE supporter, to make a call. I can find no infringement of the rules in my perusal of the footage, and all 3 of the major Claims I saw on G&GR appear to be unsubstantiated. I will leave it up to the reader to decide their opinion, but I find it very hard to believe that in the brief moments where the camera was obstructed by players/the ref an infringement was made - though it is possible.
If you believe I have made an error in this brief analysis, please don't hesitate to let me know and I will amend my post if necessary.

In terms of the three claims I presented at the beginning, the following is my verdict on those:

Claim A: Very likely false (due to the quality of the footage, and the blockages of view, I cannot debunk this claim entirely)
Claim B: Definitively False
Claim C: Definitively False

If you believe I have made an error in this brief analysis, please don't hesitate to let me know and I will amend my post if necessary.


Thank you,

To all the Shore cry babies....... Play better than the refs ref...... If you are so upset by the so called one-sided ref, just wait till you play the pinkies at the Vatican...... The yellow card your no 8 got could have easily also been a penalty try as well...... And finally & I can not stress this enough, Shore were a man up with 10 plus mins to go AND still lost lol.
oi, leave the cerise out it this. we’ve even fixed the clock this year, it counts all the way to zero.

In case there was any doubt, Makasini was out there today on the left wing for Newington 1s. That boy is a big unit! Scored a try but otherwise didn't get that many touches. Jersey barely needed a wash after the game.
Yes. Appears all the chat pre game was nonsense. He did a few nice things but there were many other New boys who were better. Great win for the team.

Man up doesn’t matter when the ref is trying to win them the game

The reality is Newington is not a rugby school as much as Joeys, View etc. They do push rugby but they also push AFL and Soccer very heavily so they don't have the numbers, depth or quality at junior levels. The new DOR is focused on shifting things from trying to buy premierships but it will take 3-5 years to turn it around. He is big on building better coaching and development through all years and grades and bringing a better culture back that was undone by the previous DOR.

Anyway, it was a great win by the 1st XV and we will celebrate it. And rightly so.
I’m glad New are doing something about this. Great to see not for Newington, but the rest of the gps aswell. Would love to see some more competitive New games in juniors
 

Where's the beef

Sydney Middleton (9)
Joeys v New (A’s) Margins
13s - Joeys + 80 (unsure)
14s - Joeys + 48
15s - Joeys + 87
16s - Joeys + 17
2s - Joeys + 19
1s - New +1

Absolutely appalled. The culture of New rugby at the moment is horrendous. I think everyone can agree that it’s unfair to all the New boys who have a dream of playing firsts one day, and then New bring in hundreds of thousands dollars worth of players in opens. Maybe they should consider investing more in junior development. @Joker would agree, we did have a chat about this.
I Fully agree with this, but also point out that its completely unfair to the schools that dont. Its easy to see it on the depth. Hats off to New, They were just in front most of the game. A lot of things did not go right for joeys today, but, you make your own luck too. New were enormous.

Absolutely discraceful from that Scots boy. Needs a serious look at himself and some time on the sidelines. Appalling
Indeed. This should not be tolerated at all by the school, most GPS schools would be giving a suspension from rugby and school for at least a week.

On a completely unrelated note, haven't seen a post with a pie review from Joker. What's going on? Starting a diet perchance?

Actually all of New were big units. Amazing how they were only in the first xv. Someone needs to have a word to their pommy coach too. His attack on the ref when things did not go his way was disgraceful. He needs to set the example not be the example. Joeys played like lions today and there was not much in this. The Side that lost today at the hill would have felt that they could have / should have won it.

Agreed, 2nd XV halves were superb while 1st XV halves were a little ponderous and outplayed by their Newington counterparts.

How do you seriously go to this effort when the advantage call starts at 72:30 for a not rolling. Ref's arm raise simply reminding of advantage, a minute long advantage is not cries for anarchy. Enjoy the rugby.

This is such a flawed argument.

12 of the Newington first 15 who beat Joeys today came to the school in year 7 or 8.

Before making a claim please make sure its correct first

Disgraceful, This forum is not a place for taking the piss and spreading lies. It's obviously not great what happened, but the Scots 5 definitely did not punch him 10 times or step on his head, there were only a few jersey pulls and nothing further than that. I was hanging around after the game and saw 5 apologise, and the 6 wasn't holding any grudges. They both agreed the red was a bit excessive. @k1ngs4lyf, remember this is a forum that is centred around young men, I would advise you to keep your comments truthful and respectful.
I disagree mate. I was sitting close by to where this incident occurred and I saw the whole thing. Grubby move from the Scots boy and multiple punches were thrown.
