Hello Props are people too That would be a good win for Knox, against a quality Newington side.

Hello Joker Those sought of results are expected, when playing Joeys. It's part of the GPS makeup. One didn't complain, you got with the game. If you had a close lost to Joeys, that was great. A win and you became heroes. The 6th XV result in 1975. NC b SJC 6-3 at Hunters Hill. Was an experience...

Hello Rippa Must admit Rippa, I think your call is simply too early. Time will tell, as a New Supporter, this 1st XV is a "work in progress". I am confident they will see better days.

A league player at Shore, Jika would be rolling over in his grave. But the reality is, its now part of 21st century School Boy Rugby. From Brisbane GPS to Sydney GPS, as well as CAS and I presume some ISA Schools. The issue should not be whether they are playing the 15man game. But how do we...

Hello Rippa, Yes, its a small Rugby season but even with that factor, changes and improvement can and do occur. Question is will they occur.

Hello WLF3 Many thanks for that information and yes the New 16As, I am led to believe are a very strong side. Saw them in their younger years and they were a joy to watch back them.

Hello Dusk Nevertheless, thanks for efforts.

Help Love2scrum Agreed, as what I said earlier today, "what happens in the Preseason, usually stays in the preseason". Schoolboy Rugby teams are simply too dynamic and so capable of change as teams. Their best attributes, are yet to be revealed. Expect, some teams to be unrecognisable in few...

Hello Wyvernboy Unfortunately, due to work commitments, I am unable to engross myself, with details of this year's Newington's 1stXV or even attend matches Hence, my reliance on you,Dusk and Lovetoscrum for the updates. Even, Rippa makes a good contribution, although somewhat negative at times...

Hello Rippa No disappointment, just a reality check.Particularly, with it's backline. But the season is still early, so who knows. I would rather have Newington experiencing issues, now than later in the season. In Schoolboy Rugby a turn around in a team's performance, can often happen. So while...

Hello Dusk Many thanks, I presume the 15As,14As and 13As loss, as I led to believe Waves have strong A teams, particularly their 13As.

Hello Dusk Any chance of other results, hopefully, they might be more encouraging than the 1stXV. Regards B&W

Hello Rod It's simply too unpredictable to pick a winner this season, as you say any side can win on the day. Simply, there should be no one favourite side. I believe this trend will continue into the GPS season. Unlike previous years, a strong Shore side has contributed to this...

Hello Big Papi That actually is a good Question. In 2007 the Labor Government under K.Rudd cancelled the construction of building extensions at Ballymore, by withdrawing Federal Funding. That is the most obvious one in my experience. The funding of Rugby development programs, for Papua New...

Hello Propsarespeedy Although well beaten, by Scots, there is the second round to be played. In my experience Newington tend to do better against Scots in this second round. In fact, I have seen huge score delivered by Scots team in Round 1 against Newington A teams, only for them to be...

The best way to approach this matter, is for Scots to cancel all sporting contacts, with Stannies indefinitely. If Stannies run out of schools to play, they will get the message. Additionally, if other schools are aware of Stannies Boys behaviour they think twice about adding them to their...

That is some positive thinking,Dusk, but it should also extend to Australian Rules, not just to League. If Rules football was to become a major summer sport. It would be better received in NSW and Queensland. To me, its not the game, but rather the capacity to take players away from Union. In...

Hello Grimey At Newington, the Game is pushed by the Depuy Head, a Victorian.Hopefully his time will come where he moves on to greener pastures. But until then, we must suffer.

Hello Wyvernboy You are spot on, the failure of Rugby Australia, over the Years to invest in grass roots Rugby, particularly club juniors is disgusting. A major effort needs to be aimed at 6-12 years of age and it needs to be "Australia Wide". If boys entering secondary school have played Rugby...

Many Thanks WyvernBoy Black&White
