Absolutely, love it Joker. If one can't laugh at ones self, your a very poor person.

Possibly the following placing might occur. 1 or 2, to either Joeys or Scots 3 or 4, to either Kings or Newington 5 to View 6 to Shore However, with the exception of Shore any of the other five could throw a "spanner in the works" and the results could change over night. Personally, I...

Yes, both schools could prove to be the Dark Horses of the competition. Both Joeys and Scots can rightfully lay claim to being the favourites, but could be vulnerable to a surprise upsets from either of these schools. Joeys for instant I believe have Newington first up in Round One. I could...

With a preseason such as this, Barker will barring injury, be extremely well prepared for the CAS Round. They are virtually playing a GPS round of 5 matches. So Physically and Psychological they are likely to bring a GPS standard of play into their CAS rounds. Irrespective of the current...

Jorgo, is that either Michael or Peter Jorgensen, good to see that they have become Joeys stalwarts. But before they were Joeys boys they spent some time at Newington. Clearly, the Joeys Rugby culture won them over. And I remember there was some bitterness within certain areas of Newington about...

Hello SDW Regarding ovals, its not size that matters but the atmosphere of the grounds to me, that is important. In that the embarkment at Newington produces a superb atmosphere for the watching of Schoolboy Rugby.

No, they knew who were the habitat trolls that infested the site. Without the site their existence become irrelevant.Further, it should be a golden rule for all us, that any discussion be it overt or implied, results in a warning to the author, the post deleted and suspension or expulsion for...

Believe me, many us will not miss that particular threat. Instead, we can concentrate on the schoolboy rugby and if some schools choose to be more professional that others so be it.

I hope it will be a great day for both schools. Thanks for info Based on my experience Knox will be prepared than Newington. Back in my days at New, playing Knox first up, they had the benefit of more matches played and their teams better prepared with more training sessions. Although...

Yes, I though on the 4th May Knox was playing Newington in a full fixture match up.Can the correct details be given. Also it might be to early to match up teams as I am sure Newington Rugby Teams, have yet to be chosen and organised. Any explanation would be appreciated.

Hello Oceans, I believe the offical trials begin on the 4th of May. Quick Hands in his usual efficient manner, has produced a list of of who, is playing whom several posts back.

Although, I have rated Newington as a 4 or 5 on the premiership ladder, I feel Newington have the potential to be much stronger. As suggested by yourself their backs could prove to be lethal and some are returning from last year so they will have experience. Kings, I believe have some...

Well said and I fully agree, Rippa. It's not about the amount of money earned, but how parents spend it. My parents put me, my brother all through Newington as well as my sister(MLC Burwood) all at the same time. But in order to do that, both parents worked full-time and my father had a...

Good point Joker, Certainly some tours are more sight seeing junkets.But when tours are well planned, against well chosen opposition they can be immensely beneficial. For instance during the June -July holidays is example of good timing with three matches to be played.It really, depends on the...

Good to hear HB, any results and which schools did they play. Most interested hearing about the tour. Such a tour could well improve Shore's competitiveness for 2019.

I suspect it will not be Lachlan Fear, as the new director of Rugby he will preoccupied with managing Newington's every expanding Rugby Program.Who ever is chosen will inherit a team that has both youth and experience. I believe he will have some talented backs to work with. Although, not rated...

Just because there has been a change of Headmaster, the direction of the school is unlikely to change fundamentally. He will be bounded and influenced by a variety of standards to maintain. He is a product of James Ruse, so academically, the school will can continue flourish, although, in the...

Once again QH, my deep appreciation for those results and yes, Black Rock was described by the last Rugby Master at Newington, who I believe was also the Rugby Master at Black Rock College as '"Joeys on Steroids".Their nick name is the "Rock". If the " Order of the Holy Ghosts" want to ever...

Hello Quick Hands Hope you had a good Xmas and a Happy New Year, I am just wondering any news/results on how the NEW 16As went on their UK Rugby Tour. The experience, I am sure will contribute to the respective strengths of our 1st & 2nds for 2019. Also, I am wondering if you know the number...
