I would wouldn't be making any predictions, based on the performances of the A teams in the age divisions. I made that mistake with this age group, now playing 1stXV. Although it gives me great comfort to know our 16As are a strong team and Our 15As have had some good past seasons. I also...

Hello love2Scrum I was under the impression, Nick Farr Jones was sending/or had sent his boys to Shore.

Hello Dusk Couldn't agree with you any further.Its fanatic atmosphere overlooking the Johnstone oval. I Think View and Kings, come close. Shore have the Hawker stand The others have great ovals. But are members of the Flat Earth Society.

Hello Joker The difference between you and a troll, is the troll intentionally sets out to cause pain and anger, on this site.You don't. We all regret things we have said on this site, that could have, with the benefit of hindsight, been said with greater wisdom. So my friend, see it as a...

Hello WLF3 Can't help to barge in about 1979. Newington premiers in 1979. Joeys had a tough pack physical pack that year. Kings big pack, but according to a friend, who saw them play Sydney High I think at the cricket ground, he described them as "Logs". That year High had a fast backline. Oh...

Newington has announced that it plans to establish a campus on the Mid-North Coast. similar to Glen Gary, in 2024. Boys will rotate out each term in groups of sixty boys in year 9. Personally, I rather we spent the Money on expanded boarding at Stanmore. Clearly it will impact on our 15s Rugby...

No, not him, but others here were positively certifiable. One these nutters wanted to do a Jacker Ripper and cut me into pieces.He actually spoke to you not so longer ago. He was full of stories, that he heard on the grapevine. Claimed he was at Joeys about the same time you were. For me it...

Hello Joker Good to see standards are being set. Several years ago, we had a number of nutters, who just wanted to talk crap and used Green & Gold. as a venue for their unbalanced agendas, against certain schools. Good to see those days are behind us.

My apologies Ace Ventura, but as New supporter, I was deeply appreciative of your kind and supportive comments.

I am based, also in this matter. New I feel, together with Joeys are two very "down to earth schools" As to New performance against Joeys.I feel Joeys demonstrated why they will be the Undefeated GPS Champions last Saturday.

Hello NewBoy1 Its great so many New supporters are on this site nowadays and offering a Black & White perspective.

Hello Ace Nice to hear from another new supporter. Well I am new supporter, who became a teacher. So I am in a favourable position, having taught at numerous Independent boys schools to judge, such schools. Newington is indeed, a fabulous experience for both teachers, students and their...

Yes Joker, the warmth the joeys and new players showed to each other at the end of the match shows how much these two schools, have come to respect each other. To me that friendship between two such schools, is as important, as any result.

New were outplayed by a better side, no other way to describe it. I would give credit to the Joeys backline, who found space particularly out wide in the second half. To me Oscar Jorgensen, was a particularly dangerous player, who New failed to contain at critical moments. The best for New was...

Hello Joker Not surprised by that result, I would expect the 14As will go to Joeys as well. 13As game could be closer

Many thanks dusk I thought this, would be a hard close game. Joker, the Newington backs have proven over the years, since they were the 13As to be the, winning strength of this team. Equally, the Joeys forwards have proven to be their teams strength. Is this how the game evolved. Most...

Hello Joker,Great to hear that is at least one school, that is prepared to deal wet weather issues. Well Joeys and thanks, to their ground staff for performing what ever efforts were needed to for todays match of the round.

Hello DragonMan I remember at the time it was a highlighted in the news. I believe he was flow by helicopter to the spinal unit. One low life Rugby League commentator, was telling the public that boys necks weren't strong to play Rugby Union. I mean to try to take advantage of a boys injury, in...

Sorry dusk I forgot to ask, but have Newington played Trinity, for the A.J. Rae Shield.Usually, it involves the top soccer and Rugby Teams (A Teams only), in the last week of the Holidays. Tony Rae was my Headmaster when I was at Newington. He was a superb, Headmaster and did much to deliver...
