Indeed, the Central Coast as a whole should be a critical development area. I believe St.Edwards is an Independent Catholic Boys school of about 900 boys Yrs 7-12. It should therefore serve as the Main feeder of junior development. Central Coast Grammar is another school, but already plays...

In order to expand our game from its wonderful but very narrow social and regional base, an effort needs to be made with a selected number of our state schools. Hence, the limited resources of the ARU ( At least as far as junior development is concerned) could be devoted to a competition made...

I was Referring to the previous comments about Newington being a source of players for the Dark Side. I was in error, by not pressing the reply button. My Apologies As for Inner City/Inner West comment, that is simply matter of choice depending on ones location, personal preference and the...

Its location, location, location. Newington as a inner city school, stands next door to Souths and just down road is Canterbury and Parramatta. Additionally, the remains of old league clubs such as Newtown, Wests and Balmain still exist as junior clubs.Hence, many of our inter city boys are...

Hello Spin it out, I noticed in your 13As you have mentioned on the Saturday they played Newington, had a good win over New 13As(W28-12), a side which had beaten Scots 40-0 the previous week and Joeys about 28-7 the next week. So Shore have talent I believe lots of talent with their depth...

Thank You, for your honesty "Spin it out" that is my fear that we will lose another great Rugby school to the thinking of one Headmaster. I remember a time when Shore teams were second only to joeys in strength as a rule. Yes, they based their game around enormous forward Packs, but in general...

Newington and Scots had their teams play matches during the holidays,against Trinity and Waverly. I can't speak for Scots, but those matches I feel put New on a winning track for the next couple of weeks. Not just in the firsts, but in all A teams. Against Joeys the benchmark of Australian...

Trying to find humour in Shore's misfortune in Rugby.

The setting is Heaven where Jika of Shore School, Brother Henry of St.Josephs College and Tony Rae former Headmaster of Newington are debating who will win the GPS premiership for 2017. Unable to come to an agreement, They decide to seek God's advice on the issue. Brother Henry asks God " Will...

Thanks again, footy4life, his profile appears to be low key compared to other directors of Rugby.

Thanks, Foot4life, a lot more year 12s than I expected,

As a New supporter I will take their righteous disapproval, first, as a complement. Second, I will then accept it as an acknowledgement that Newington Rugby, compared to Shore Rugby, is in better hands under the leadership of Simon Manion ( I hope I got his last name right). Last year...

Such an attitude of complacency is one reason I suspect why Shore is not reaching its Rugby potential. Other Schools are already organising their 2017 training squads. Preparation for 2017 begins now in 2016.How schools prepare will vary, but strength, fitness and talent identification will be...

Footy4life, could you if possible provide a breakdown of the New boys into their year groups. I suspect the 2017 1st XV will be a young but strong side, strongly based around our 16As.

Thank you, Loose Carry, it appears Joeys can not only to celebrate ( which they did at the end of the game), a great last minute win. But the safe return of this young player. Newington was recently beset with a tragedy some weeks ago of one of its own. Together with the recent death of Stuart...

Regrettably, from a schoolboy rugby perspective Joeys has no peer rival in terms of either quantity and quality of their teams. Shore under the late Jika Travers came close. But these days soccer has ripped the guts out of rugby numbers.

28-28 Draw,although both sides have grounds to question whether two conversions occurred, one for Joeys and one for Newington were successful. To me for both sides should have an attitude of:- The Ref, is right even when they are wrong.

Thanks Johnny come lately, with the ambulance there and the game called off, some very responsible people made some very intelligent decisions. In the 14A Game there was also a MayDay call. The smallest player on the field, A joeys boy, was buried underneath the a mass of players from both...

Thanks,random2, at the time it looked really ugly and well done to those that ensured the safety of this young man.

In fact, it was a great day of rugby for Newington and Joeys. In the 13s and 14s New were winners with the 13As winning over a previously undefeated Joeys team, I believe about 28-7. The 14As took a convincing lead of 24-7 only to see a fantastic figthback by Joeys to close the gap to 24-19...
