There's no such think as a 5ths comp. And they play other school's 4ths because TAS 1sts play in the Newington spot in the 3rds. TAS 2nds play other school's 5ths. And there's no 4ths comp either. Joeys were one of the main proponents of changes introduced because they didn't want their...

Great summary INP. As I've previously pointed out the solution for sport at High and rugby in particular is both simple and presents a win/win scenario. High should become 50% academically selective and 50% sport selective. With the exception of basketball, rifle shooting and some isolated...

I think he can beat Pita Wilson on a count-back. Mafi gets bonus points for kidnapping a team mate.

Games this week: Warringah v Eastwood 1.10pm at NSO Uni v Norths 3.10pm at NSO I predict a Uni v Warringah grand final. Warringah should be able to compete with the Eastwood scrum and Warringah are better around the park. From what I saw on Sunday Eastwood don't have much beyond a good...

The only undefeated Newington team for 2019 were the mighty 15Cs. :)

I did promise some historical GPS rugby highlights from the 150 Years of Newington Rugby book after the 2019 season concluded. The historical rugby buffs out there can feast on the first instalment. Newington's 1st game was against Sydney Uni in 1869 at the school's then ground at...

Bear in mind that from 1892-1914 that the GPS rugby was a 2 round competition. Went back to 1 round (presumably because of WW1) and seemed to stay there until the 2000s when Grammar dropped out and it went to two rounds as a 6 team competition.

Joeys, Riverview and Shore also have AFL teams. Not that I think it's a good thing, but if you're going to lash out about something at least lash out about everyone who does the same thing. And the same person has coached the 13As at Newington for the past 3 seasons, so your comment about a...

Referee having too much impact on the game

Whether it's mental or physical or both, but we just haven't been able to play consistently for 80 minutes. A shame as the talent seems to be there.

Apologies, that was the half time score which was broadcast on 7Two at half time in the other game.

I was talking about it. Interesting reaction. If it happened at Newington I’d be appalled by it.

I heard Riverview def Newington 32-29 No further information

Apparently there wasn’t much supervision of the boys during the 15A game though.

Rats won 24-7 Manly lost - heard that they didn’t score in the second half

I’ve had similar experiences with comments made by boys from that school. I also understand that in the 15As there was a pitch invasion by Shore supporters just on half time after a Shore try in which the Kings players were jostled and were clearly affected in the second half

Rat park a tricky place to play in windy conditions. Hard to see the Rats going down from here. Can Manly play for 80 and get home at Camperdown?

Any news from Lane Cove or Northbridge?

Half time Uni leading Manl 33-31 Rats leading norths 19-0

They were playing on the fields across the road and had a late game so no news unfortunately
