Joker Mark my words. Knowing S.Foley well, he will play through the CAS forwards. GPS 2nds forwards ar weak and carrying a few passengers. I could name and shame but I won't. If GPS is smart, they'll throw the ball every chance they get. Wyvernboy

sounds like a cracker of a game. Scoys did underutilse their outside backs last Sat. 14 Scots very good finisher. GPS hurdle champion. Playing outside New 15 would be good for him.

Hi Joker Sounds like a good game. How is the New #15 and #9 going ? Wyvernboy

Hi Joker Thanks for that. That was my impression from Sat's game. Does his job. Tidy pass and only runs when needed. Gives it to the outside backs for them to shine. Great decision by the New coaches to put him at 10 and McGregor at 15. Thanks Wyvernboy

Joker How is #10 going ? Wyvernboy

To Old High Boy and ItsNotPink Well said. To witness and experience Newington's CULTURE, I invite all GPS rugby lovers to Newington's Back to New Day on Sat 13th Aug against Riverview ( last round and hopefully premiership deciding ). For our Scots friends, if you haven't heard of Stanmore or...

Easy TheMedow Newington does not provide buses to games. They do provide buses to the HOR and it's compulsory for most years to attend. Also, the swimming and athletics events. These are all stand alone events with the boys having no other committments on these days. I don't particularly want...

Hi All The Newington victory song is " New Boy till I Die ". Black and White and DragonMan, As passionate Old Boys like myself, we agree that it would be good to see more support for our GPS Rugby teams. For reasons B/W gives, this is not easy for the broader Newington community. At Scots...

Where are you Rippa ? Were you at the Scots game ? What are your thoughts about the game ? Must admit, firsts shaped up. Wyvernboy

Joker Anonymity is golden and privacy is precious. I'm sure they are good blokes. Like getting under the Yellow and blue boy's skin. Pink and blue boys are ok. Wyvernboy

Thanks for that Joker. I knew it was not from the Back in Black album as Bon had passed away before the album had come out. First album released after he passed. Just giving Stephenmoorebeers a clue or two. Long way to the Top is this years 1st XV motto. Playing Scots at BH and Joeys at HH...

Hi The Batman Get a few more beers into the Old Boys ?!! Wyvernboy

Stephenmoorebeers I like John Farnham and "Your the voice " is a great Aussie song. Good song for the bagpipes and very fitting for the Scots culture as Scots enjoy listening to their own voices. At New, we enjoy the other iconic Aussie song with bagpipes. Give you a hint cause it may not get...

Hi Joker I'll have a crack. Knowing Mr Carraro from Newington ( he was a teacher there up till last year ), I don't know his age but I gather the year could be 1995. Could be completely wrong. 2nd guess 2001. Wyvernboy

Hi Stephenmoorebeers Good stuff. Here we go. Scots students were great. Solid numbers for a home game. Respectful when kickers lined up and cheered loud when their team was doing well. Old boys were on fire. Usual noise from the balcony. Hope your head went down as the ball went over the...

Of Course TheSwindleKicker. Probably the biggest game of the season but in recent years there has been trouble caused by both sets of old boys which could be avoided by not having 3 lots of reunions to an away game regardless of who's home game it is. Lots of space at both HH and View for pitch...

Hi Joker Not to ruin tradition, but could you give me an explanation as to why there would be Joey's Old Boys reunions on an away game at Riverview ? 1) Wouldn't you do a reunion at home ( I know New does as well as Scots. not sure other schools ) 2) Wouldn't this potentially and probably add...

Hi TheMedow Stuff like this MAY happen from time to time at ALL SCHOOLS. Just happens more often at certain schools. Can't understand that you've left school, not that you can't support your alma mater but leave it up to the boys on the field and the boys in the stands ( at New we don't have...

Some people do think the sun shines out of their arse. And I do know my anatomy. Wyvernboy

Hi Joker The Scots Old Boys were pretty bad. No one is perfect and I know you can get carried away, like running onto the field, Joeys vs Riverview, New vs View. But it's not a good look. Anyway, just makes it a lot sweeter. Play on !! Wyvernboy
