The recruits don't play 13As? What is the point of having recruits?

sorry what is the acronym AFAIK?

What was the impetus for this at Scots (not being cynical, just want to know why Scots started caring so deeply about the education of indigenous kids). New has one indigenous scholarship, but that was founded in honour of a boy who sadly took his own life and who happened to work a lot with...

Ok two scenarios here (I) Little Oscar has been playing junior club rugby and the boys he would be pitted against in the As (recruits or not) he would have seen and played against before so Mr and Mrs Darling-Precious of Balmoral would be hit with no surprises there (2) Little Rupert spent most...

I've heard reports that in any given year at Riverview at least 80 per cent are sons of Old Boys so again this would appear to put it on equal footing with Shore

But wouldn't that mean they are more likely to play rugby if their Dads and Grandads played? The only boys who played soccer at Newington were the one who came from backgrounds where their families played or followed soccer.

But where are these indigenous boys? I haven't seen any in their 1sts lately

But interestingly Shore and Riverview are performing very differently. I would have thought given Shore's natural catchment area of Mosman for day boys and country NSW for boarders it would be performing comparably to Riverview (which doesn't appear to give out Rugby scholarships either and...

A quick glance also suggests boarder numbers have a part to play (assuming the boarders are country boarders). The three schools with the lowest number of boarders (New only has 50 and SGS and SBHS none) have the least number of rugby teams and the schools with the highest number of boarders...

So at High you have a 50/50 chance of playing in 1sts?

you'd have to the give those kids floppy haircuts and boatshoes first

Shane Serhon has taught at Newington since about 1987. Makes complete sense his three sons would go to Newington

When did Cameron Murray start at New? Just wondering why he wasn't hyped up as much as Pirrodi or Tyrone as he was coming through the ranks.

New only have two teams at !6s?! What happened to the rest of the 150 or so boys in that year and just how many are playing up an age group?

"other parts of Sydney?" I don't know of any Shore Old Boy not from the North Shore.

Why does Shore have such strong demand? What makes it a better option for C of E North Shore parents than Knox or Barker?

A quick google search of the name of one of the New props reveals that he was at Trinity just two years ago. I know its common for boys to come to the GPS from lesser 'known' private schools (Auggies)and of course from state schools, but is it common that there is movement from the CAS to the...

Who is the Newington Captain of Rugby 2015?

Did no15 repeat yr 12?

Just a comment on crowd attendance at New. I was there about a month ago for the Joeys game. In my day (1980s) when Jpeys was at the nadir of its dominance and we expected to be beaten by at least 20+, at least 3/4of the school turned out for the Joeys match, even if it was at Hunters Hill . We...
