Hello Itsnotpink Many thanks for your support and thoughts regarding Tolu, I am no medical expert, but medical assessments can differ and vary. So I am going to be optimistic, in the absence of a detailed medical opinion. On the Riverview/St.Augustine match, I suspect that Riverview will be...

Many Thanks Number 7 for the details I believe not just me as a New Supporter, but all supporters of GPS Rugby wish him a speedy and safe recovery.Who knows in this day of medical science, we may yet see him play. We can only hope and pray for his recovery.

Hello Itsnotpink Not just a lost for Newington, but for Schoolboy Rugby as a whole. Irrespective of ones support for another school, to watch him in play was going to be an absolute delight, for any supporter of Schoolboy Rugby this season. As a supporter of both Newington and Schoolboy Rugby...

Excellent Report even if you are a Barker Supporter,Rod.Nice here to hear that New backs are looking dangerous again this year.. You mentioned one was a Winger, could be our Australian School School Representative from last year. Appears, despite their larger size, that our forwards got dusted...

Hello Moderators It is clear that One Eye Pirate is talking about scholarships, in an implied manner, a subject that is no longer acceptable on this site. Therefore, this post should be deleted ASAP. His self righteous crap belongs elsewhere.

. Last year Newington changed its style of play from a power game built around crash and bash forward play, to a more enjoyable and expansive game. Hello Wristman Last year Newington changed its style of play from a power game built around crash and bash forward play, to a more enjoyable...

Hello Spieber If boys choose Rugby League ahead of Union as a career, it is not the concern of Newington or Kings. That is an Rugby Australia matter and their inability to recruit talented youngsters. Sadly, Australian Rugby at the top level, has not been well served by the last two CEO...

The campus is actually at Lindfield on the North Shore, but draws from the Northern Beaches.

Hello Quick Hands Trust you are keeping well, can't disagreed with that comment.

Thank You, "Its Not Pink" I have been so long out of touch, I forgetting things such as players names. And "Formerflanker" I can assure you, your not the only one missing the game. From what I can gather, the five core schools are just oozing with talent to be watched. Shore with its new...

Although still at school, last years Australian schoolboys winger, whose name I have shamefully forgotten, I would include also.His speed and turn of pace are delight to watch. I hope the GPS season can get back on track, just to watch this amazing talented player.

I heard on this site that BBC Board had instructed the Headmaster to cease recruiting star Rugby players. As such BBC was struggling to recruit players, with only two initially, but I believe they got numbers to three in th 13s eventually.

Hello Former Flanker Another change that occurred that year was the no pushing rule in the scum and the subsequent depowering of the scrum, after with a particularly bad incident in the New/ Joies Game. The powerful Joeys scrum brought so much power that a New Prop subsequently suffered a...

Hello Brad Jones Yes, they were a very good side, but so were the Newington 13As who beat Scots 19-15 in the pre-season. Scots beat them 10-5 in the GPS fixture. I wouldn't get to work up about these results in the 13As, boys grow, develop skill and will learn the game in the coming years...

Hello Jim I am so sadden to hear this news, particularly, with the other tragedies that have beset TAS over the years. I commented on the lost of Ken in 1985, the young lieutenant killed in Afghanistan, the Richard Tombs accident and the lost of his brother in the Black Hawk crash in 1996...

Hello up the Guts, Yes he is in year 11 and will part of the 150 year celebration of schoolboy Rugby being played in Australia.So a big year for Newington and Kings next year. With stars in both Newington and Kings teams. Meaning the the Aust/U18 2020 team, could be strong as well next year.

HelLo Balmain Suddies One can hope and dream, but the reality is that the Grammar Community have chosen academic elitism over sport, particularly Rugby. Until Grammar parents decide that their son's HSC score, should be complemented by an extensive sports programme, it is unlikely to change.As...

Hello Johnny Come Lately This predicament is also due the fact that Newington has a small boarding house, so they have to rely on day boys to field teams. In year 12 the long ravel, tends to discourage participation in Rugby together within the background of the HSC or the IB. Additionally...

Honestly, Jenny G your comments about Newington really lack accuracy. QH is a parent of a current student and I am an Old Boy of the school who attends New's Rugby Games. By all means make comments, but you need to be objective, informed and and above all knowledgeable about Newington and its...
