Very disappointing performance from TKS team after a hard fought win over TSC the week prior. Really only a couple of shinning lights from the team. As has been the trend for them it was the forwards that kept them remotely in the game. Lavercombe, Smith, Perrett and Fonua played tough and when the ball was with those boys, it was the only time TKS looked like something could happen.
Credit where credit is due, the SIC boys played smart and Grover led his boys around the park well. They played smarter rugby and definitely knew those opponent. Dempsey also a standout for the View side from my perspective.

"those opponent" ? Really??? Where did you go to school?

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

Classic New boys. Please understand I’m not an idiot, and not claiming anything either. Obliviously a very touchy subject for the New boys…

And if New has 12/15 from year 7 and 8 in 1s, how come they never win in juniors? 3 players don’t make a team.

My rankings heading into the 3rd round

1. Newington: Undefeated. You’ve got to give it to the Stanmore men after taking out Joeys at the Hill. Enormous side. Can they keep the momentum.

2. Joeys: Very strong and nimble squad. Shades of youth, I believe one of there players is in year 10. Could contest New for the prem.

3. Scots: Insanely clutch victory against Shore, very unlucky loss against Kings. Looking to be a title contender.

4. Kings: Promising form against New in the trials and strong round 1 victory, not sure why they were soundly beaten by View yesterday

5. View: Soundly dispatched by New in the first game. Grover was lacking in round 1 but showed captains presence yesterday in their promising win.

6. Shore: Poor start to the season, perhaps without their key players they will fall back into old form. Hopefully they can turn things around.

Struggle to see how you have view so low. Sounds like a quality squad coming together, would definitely have then above scots and kings. Mind you scots only narrowly beat a seemlying weak shore team?

Coming from a naive angle, but I'd be really surprised if Newington's side on the weekend was 80% Year 7 starters. I stand to be corrected. Shore was 2/3 (10) Year 7 starters on the weekend and I'd really question if New were below this. Their results in this age group up to this year don't support this but happy to be challenged. 3 new arrivals?

Until the injured guys come back for Shore you mean? Cause they stated year 10 or 11?

The 2 players due to return will most likely replace players who also started after Year 7, so it still means 5 game starters will be non-Year 7 starters, if that makes sense.

Very very good point you make. Considering view lost to a strong Newington team and put Kings to the sword. I stand corrected. View should be at 3rd then Kings then Scots

With Callaghan coming back into the team, presumably at 15 where does that put Wendt.

I’m assuming Wendt will go to 12 based of the chat I’ve heard as they want him in the centers and Robertson dropped. I find this quite harsh as he has been playing so well. There could be other possibilities however I think this is the most likely. Whatever is decided it will be very tight and make it an unfortunate drop

Agree has not show anything to warrant playing 12 in 1s was part of a back line that got royally flogged by joeys and was not a stand out at all on the weekend. If wanted in centres play a game in 12 in 2XV to show.

Ahh but you did just claim that Newington "brings in hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of players into the opens". Is that not a claim?
Moreover how could that be correct if 12 out of the first 15 were already at the school in year 7?
Click to expand...
Say school & boarding cost combo = $60k (very generous)
Assuming all 3 not from year 7 are covered by the school: 3x60k =180 K… That is hundreds and thousands of dollars.

Aware this conversation is pushing hard against a line, if you wish to continue by all means go ahead but on ‘that’ forum.

I think it will be no 10 Ritchie who started in year 10, Rex will claim that spot.

Hardly overshadowed. Anyway, put some perspective. New students are not allowed to sit on stadium side, so instead they are provided an aluminum scaffolding quality seats on the other side of the oval where half the side of the field is roped off for spectators?! Absolutely comical.
If you want some respect, maybe joeys should make some seating available for opposing teams instead of this arrangement.

are you kidding? Newington provide a muddy slope for visitors to perch on. Newington boys don’t even bother attending home games at the Stanmore airport. regardless Newington was the school that disrespected the walk on tradition at Hunters Hill in 1990, they are lucky we provide benches.
