Hello Mr Tank Although, I cannot quote a specific source other than everyday knowledge down here in Sydney, you would find that numerous independent schools, regarding their scholarships, have what would be called ,Trust Funds, administered separately and privately. Often they are set are up...

If I can use this opportunity, to sing the praises of the Big Newie, a giant size burger with the lot. That is steak, sausage, egg, bacon, grilled onion, tomatoes, if I recall pineapple and beetroot. Buy it at Lunchtime or before. I promise you you need not eat for the rest of the day. Your...

Outstanding Joker, Absolutely brilliant. You have not lost your touch. By the way I am permitted to comment comment on some aspects of Rugby by my new employers. But nothing too conversial, dealing with school policies.

Hello Metre Eater Well Done, a most enjoyable and amusing summary of GPS facilities, at each of the various schools. I cannot argue with such profound wisdom, yes, a trip to the bathroom at my beloved Newington, is some thing of A "Leland Brothers" experience. In that one must " travel the...

Hello Metre Eater For me personally, the best home ovals are the ones with the embarkments, where as spectators we can look down on the matches. Hence, Newington, Which I claim to have many fond memories and provides a tremendous atmosphere Kings, where I also have a fond attachment Riverview...

Hello Rudderless Thanks for confirming my fears, that Kings will be incorporating some of their very talented 15As from 2020 into their 2021 1st XV. I am getting the feeling that there will be some absolutely brilliant talent on display in this year's GPS matches. Regards Black & White

Hello Rudderless Hello Rudderless Are these players members of last years KINGS 15As. I have been told they are an outstanding team, who together with Joeys 15As. Both teams have dominated their age group since the Under 13s. It would appear that we have some very strong sides taking the...

Hello Love2Scum Yes, this is a real problem and needs to be addressed by Rugby Australia at the grassroots level.

Hello Again Love2Scrum Could not but notice a few Pacific Islander names, in the Kings line up of Players to watch. Its great to see these boys in GPS Rugby, entering schools other than Newington. If you were look at the Newington and Kings lineup of players, both these schools now reflect, the...

Hello Love2Scum Well done on an excellent review for 2021. For Newington Gabe Poidevin and Hugh Bell, any relationship to Simon and Angus Bell ( I believe his Newington's Latest Wallaby) if so and their like their illustrious relatives.New could be fielding some exciting talent. Keep the...

Many thanks Love2Scrum Its great to have another New Supporter on Green & Gold. Yes, I think a number of commentators have misread New's potential and player strength. I am being cautious, but I believe New can be expected to take down some of the more fancied sides. Last year New missed out...

Many thanks GPS, your efforts are deeply appreciate. As you have provided excellent clarity in this matter.

Hello GPS Observer I must admit that I am bit out of touch with the Newington players, involving their names, Positions and Backgrounds due to the Pandemic.So if you could fill me in on C.Holliday, it would be deeply appreciated. For instance, I have never been aware, that a student could or...

Hello Bro Joe Hope you had a wonderful Xmas break and a happy new Year. With any thing up to 12 players returning from last year's 1st XV, plus the added benefit, that they are now mainly a 17 year old team, last years result's could be a thing of the past. As I believe the potential for an...

Hello QH, I don't think you are wrong. As this site was loathed by some Newington supporters. The fact that you and I, virtually alone contributed to Green and Gold for Newington, bares testimony to such loathing. These New supporters felt that G&G, was a virulent bastion of Anti-Newington...

Hello Its Not Pink and UP and In I am not supposed to be using this site, but one visit every now and then will not be an issue.Provided it doesn't cover a certain school. You both right about Newington Rugby, but the real issue is not the lack of depth.The real issue is maintaining this depth...

Yes, but in another Avatar Regards

I need to mention, that my teaching employment has changed and I am now with a particular elite boys school. So reporting on Newington, is no longer practical. I am starting work on Monday with that school, so to all my Newington friends, particularly Quick Hands, I am signing off, all the best...

Hello Blue Gum I feel at the moment the loss of Tolu has meant that their capacity to attack across the field, is somewhat diminished. You cannot lose an Australian Schoolboy Winger and not be affected. But many young players are coming into the ranks of the open Division. What I would expect...
