Not just puritanical, but revisionist in its outlook. I know of one Anglican School, that forbid the reading of Harry Potter Novels, because they were deemed "Satanic" due the presence of unGodly creatures, such as goblins within the Novels. Others challenge the accepted science of evolution...

They had a number of players out, so a real team list maybe a couple of weeks away. I suspect when Newington play Knox a more accurate team list willl be available.

Central Coast Grammar is a potential growth school for Rugby Union and by playing them, Knox contributes to the expansion and improvement of Rugby on the Central Coast. In time CGS, may expand its numbers and hopefully play in the ISA Division 1 Competition. With annual fixtures against Knox and...

Thanks for confirming the score sideteppa and capturing the high lights of the game.

Hello QH Well he is certainly earning his pay cheque, I saw the 13Bs win over Trinity and the speed, discipline and precision of ball delivery, to the backs at the breakdown was very impressive and when one considers, this was the first game of the season it was an excellent effort. With the...

It was a great day, first I am not one for the food, but the Newington barbecue has the Big Newie, a steak, egg, bacon and a sausage. That was my lunch. So I fully recommend the Big Newie. The Newington win over Trinity was a hard earned affair. At 19-14 the game was in the balance.New cover...

Agree entirely and end of discussion on this issue for me. As I intend my next post to be about the Newington and Trinity Rugby Matches, being played today. Time to move on and talk about the real reason why we all here.

Oh Spieher, I was expecting you to make some reply. As usual the content of your reply is totally incompetent and completely irrelevant to the subject, being discussed in my post. In this matter, your reading skills require work. As you clearly, have not understood the topic being expressed...

Absolutely, love it Joker, well done as usual

That thread lowered the tone of Green and Gold to an arcimious site of personal abuse, outright lies and covertly racist rants.Generally speaking, look at how polite, professional and emotional intelligent our threads are these days. Largely, because the Cyber Trolls have no venue, in which to...

And who would you replace them with. The GPS has two schools that I find have attitude problems. But I would never cut them from the competition. Best to wait for internal changes from within. Your solution is not a solution, but rather a disaster awaiting to happen. Where League (Gregs) and...

Yes, QH I am in full agreement and I leave it at that.

My apologies, Peabody, clearly I am getting ahead of myself. I thought it was 4th April which is in fact a Thursday. Clearly, the excitement of another season of Schoolboy Rugby has taken hold. In this matter, I no longer go to grade games or even super Rugby matches. Instead, I confine myself...

14As result in 2018 was 34-10 to New. In 2017 it was either 21-5 or 19-12 to New again. Regarding the 1st XV Game, I feel Knox will have a distinct advantage over Newington, due to longer preparation. I expect Knox to win by about 10-15 points. At Knox hopefully on the main oval

Hello QH Did your boy get a run and if I could ask again for any results they would be most appreciated . Next week I hope to be at Knox, particularly, hope to see the New 15As in action.

Any news how your 14As went, they were an exceptionally strong side even by the standards of joeysJ, last year as the 13As

Well when it comes to St.Andrews, Joker, you will not get an argument from me. Recently, their Headmaster Dr John Collier had to write to parents about their behaviour and attitude towards teachers at the school. Apparently, some parents were expecting Teachers to behave like Slaves. Clearly...

While I can have a laugh at Joker's clever and humorous pictures, it makes me immensely proud as an Old Boy, how Newington has evolved over the years from a Bastion of White Anglo-Saxon Protestant ethnicity, to a more enlightened, inclusive, diverse educational environment. One that is so...
