There was also a missed conversion,that was counted for Joeys as well. So a draw was a fair result. A bigger field would is open to question,as Newington's pick and drive game may benefited given the opportunity to unload the ball. The New 5/8 was certainly restricted by this field as much as...

We may not agree with the decision, but at least we have an explanation thanks to, Quick Hands. However, I would love to see an exemption extended for these two teams. Outside the 1stXV games this 16A game could be one of the matches of the GPS rugby season.

When its comes to Victorian AFL, the best thing about it is the Hume Highway going North.

Thanks Quick Hands, for your explanation on how Newington Rugby allocates it ovals. Clearly, many on this site though Newington Rugby had made a questionable decision for a variety of reasons. Although, its makes sense to allocate the 16As to the Johnson Oval and I personally had thought that...

Such is the logistics of managing multiple rugby teams.

Your perfectly correct Armchair Selector,that their will be some cracking games to be played on Saturday between New and Joeys. In the 1st XV match both sides have have "risen from the dead" in Round 2 and defeated a majority of opponents who "Put them to the sword" in Round 1. The exception...

Shore and its supporters should be very proud of their first half performance. They were the dominant side and showed they are deserving of better results than what the season has given to date. They should be in a good position to win against Kings who have lost their last three games. The...

Actually,Newington were undefeated as the 13As in 2013, they beat Joeys, 21-10 at Stanmore and 29-19 at Hunters Hill. I know I was their for both Matches. However,Due to a weaker age group above them, some of their players played in that age group at the expense of their normal age group from...

And Shore were in complete control in the 1st Half

All that means they may repeat, do pathways or leave the school at the end of year 12. The bulk of that cohort, therefore can be developed over two years .Plus, Newington will also have its Year 11 intake next year and who knows what promising players may emerge from the new arrivals to the...

I couldn't agree more with you,foty4life, after watching the 16A against Scots, their first half was a display of relentless precision in attack,with some great support play. Scots second half comeback, does not detract that watching this team, is a real enjoyment. I Look forward to watching...

Newington may not be Sydney Grammar, but scholarship is taken very seriously at the school,as shown by the introduction of the IB. In order to develop a more focused academic climate at the school, I believe the reintroduction of large scale boarding ( Particularly in Years 11& 12) be one...

Thanks for for views RG,only time will tell

And your solution to the problems of Limited Space, money and the competing interests of soccer is ?. I would be most interested in hearing your views

A typical Shore School excuse about Newington"s Rugby success in recent years, that actually belittles Shore and their players. Good results occur because of teamwork, school spirit, good coaching and a belief in one self and their ability to deliver on the Rugby Field. I suspect Shore's...

What you devise is wonderful, provided the money is available and support from the whole Newington community is behind it. But in a school where soccer is a more numerous sport such wishful thinking is restricted by the politics of Sport.Rugby must share the grounds with soccer. One idea I...

Very easy to be critical over one boy, to whom you know nothing of his circumstances. As for team/ school spirit the fact that Newington have pulled together in the second round and won two close games, speaks volume about their character. Their pick and drive and the precision of their...
