Not sure why people are surprised. If we played like we did against Argentina, we sure as shit were not going to beat the AB's

Haven't seen any Newington supporters blame the refereeing but sure continue.

Is there a 1sts lists?

Newington is not going co-ed any time soon. This idea was merely introduced last year and they themselves mentioned this wasn't going to be implemented any time soon.

Any news on the injured new players that missed the match against Kings last week?

Easts could definitely pull of an upset against Norths with both Wilson and Bowen back.

New + 12 View + 7 Scots + 10

As in recently or just all players?

Most schools aren't just pushing 15 and 16 year old kids into opens if they didn't think they could handle it. Jorgensen, Sua'ali'i, Penisini all got pushed into opens in year 10 and handled it well. Having an extra years experience is pretty beneficial to any player.

We assuming big 7As (Allan Ala'alatoa) is captain? Or someone like Tate?

Scots are probably a better example, Newington get praised in trial form every year and then drop off when the competition starts (exception in 2022), but yeah i understand your point.

Who would have thought that every school is going to be fielding a competitive side for 2024!

People are pretty quick to write off Newington against Joeys. Earlier this year they beat Joeys at HH. With the addition of players with returning injuries that weren't featured against Kings, New should be able to get the job done. Should be a good crowd aswell.

Fuck me he is fast. I don't know how you can put McReight or Hooper above Gleeson right now. IMO he has to make the starting 23.

I'm sure the Kings oval in person looks very nice but on Cluch, it is way too far away.

(because that really affects the outcome of the game) Simply fuck off. He's a 16 yr old kid on debut and you want to strip him of an excellent try, because the refereeing wasn't on par with super rugby? It's schoolboy rugby ffs, if you want super rugby refereeing, almost every ruck would be...

Rodwell is carrying this Newington attack. Seriously impressive player.

Add McEwen and Humphries to that list aswell.

Pretty incredible

Two back rowers playing in the backline... The best player on the field in the New vs Joeys game doesn't even get a run in the center's when there is a key injury in the firsts. Move Matteo to 13 and put Lua at 12, and keep Va'alotu at 8. Kings could seriously put 30 points on Newington here.
