I think this must be ‘under 19 rule’ was brought in much later than 81. I was recently at GPS Gold Challenge and one of the Riverview guys had done year 12 3 times. Either that or he Captained Riverview Aths and 1st XV while in year 10.

There have been quite a few from Newington who were very talented multi sport athletes but never made it to rep. cant remember name but he played 1sts basketball from year 8 (combined GPS 1sts 4 years and GPS Premiership 4 years) and 1st XV 3 years, Dux and Senior Prefect. Several others in...

I saw someone succinctly explain the rise of Shore rugby in recent years. Conversely can someone please explain Newington’s ‘decline’? They are currently advertising for a Director of Rugby too. No specific mention however of coaching both boys and girls.

I am highly confused. Is the Australian Schoolboys Team just announced the highest representative honours available for schoolboys? Lots of missing names like Tonga and Sharples etc.

Completely correct. This has been a long standing issue at Newington (last year for example had an amazing back line on paper and so did 2021). Unsure why the coaching staff haven’t picked up on it.

Just seen GPS teams. I’m a Newington Old Boy with some family members at King’s so a few observations: 1. King’s who are leading the Comp and may go undefeated have 5 boys in GPS 1s and Newington who have only won 2 games has 4 boys selected. 2. The Captain of King’s was not selected anywhere...

This has been bugging me for a while, what is the pronunciation of the forename of the Joeys Captain. Is it Huey?

Beating Joeys at home? Yes I was wondering about the As, the 14s and 15s were both very strong last year

I didn’t know Riverview were so strong this year. I had assumed it would be Scots and Joeys

Does anyone know what is going on with New? They have a side of experienced rep players with Rodwell, Ata, McLean and the Cleverly brothers, strong wins against Knox and Waves but just can’t seem to get it together. At this rate they may be last in the comp

The big lad Nate Titi, was he 2nds last year at TKS? Can’t recall the name.

The King’s winger Aadesh (I think). Is he a GPS sprinter? Seems this is his second year playing 1sts but haven’t seen him in GPS Aths or any GPS teams but seems to complement their more ‘famous’ winger Tonga quite well.

Newington has HSC trials starting tomorrow hope it won’t impact Athletics. Any other GPS schools have HSC trials now?

Grammar is so self deprecating they even have their own anti war cries. Instead of ‘are we in it? We say yes, we are the boys from SGS’ I’ve heard them use this at HOTR ‘are we in it? We say no, we are the boys who cannot row!’ This was during the time of Mackerras/Townsend when sport really...

Rugby is important but school is importanter

Most schools do this, possibly without the grammatical errors too

Does anyone know why Riverview has essentially closed its campus?

Just saw news footage, nearly everyone face planted on concrete. Doesn’t look pretty
