An interesting game. I felt the Kings Pack was the Dominate factor in this game. In the first half Newington, struggled to get their hands on the Ball. Additionally, sloppy defence allowed the second and third tries to be scored against Newington. Kings really had a tradesman like win, although these tries came from their winger. It was their grinding dominance in achieving possession that ensured their win. Newington for their part will need to ensure greater possession and effective use of their possession. Particularly, against team like Kings who clearly can dominate possession.Kings 26-19
A very frustrating game for Newington but i did feel that they significantly improved from the last couple of losses. The defense definitely needs improvements on the wings. One important thing to note is that Siteni Takuamo, Drew Williams, Jaydon Villiamu, and Oliver Townsend were absent from this game. With key players missing I think Newington put on a solid performance against Kings.An interesting game. I felt the Kings Pack was the Dominate factor in this game.

Nevertheless, there were pleasing signs for Newington. Their tries came from moving the ball in hand, with good support play. The backs showed a turn of pace, that made numerous inroads into the Kings defence. As all three of tries came from their ability, to attack and penetrate through their backline. At present their backs are their most lethal part of their play. With their Number 9, Billy Dickerson a clear stand out player.
I feel New will enter the GPS season underprepared, they really need a much longer preseason to "Iron out their faults, particularly, in forward dominance. Their backs despite criticism on this site, have shown they are "work in progress" and show real promise.
Hello duskA very frustrating game for Newington but i did feel that they significantly improved from the last couple of losses. The defense definitely needs improvements on the wings.

I think they are cousins. One is son of Micheal and the other the son of Peter. Not sure which is which. When Peter was at New I did athletics with him, he ran one age group up. I’m presuming a good amount of their skills (hand eye coordination, athleticism etc) come from genetics. No doubt the Fittler boy from Scots is an apple which didn’t fall far from the tree either.Just watched the Joeys vs View game and what an excellent match of rugby between both sides. Those Jorgensen brothers are incredible players and definitely deserve the praise they have been recieving.
The New no 9 is Billy Dickens. 3 year 1sts player and before that played an age group up. Always gets good clean ball out to the back line. Nice humble kid too. No relation just been watching him and New closely for the last few years.An interesting game. I felt the Kings Pack was the Dominate factor in this game.

I think he should play firsts for GPS Rep team against CAS. Thoughts?The New no 9 is Billy Dickens. 3 year 1sts player and before that played an age group up.

Hello DuskI think he should play firsts for GPS Rep team against CAS. Thoughts?
I’m an old boy from joeys, usually support the boys after a win but today I feel as if it was a cheap win. Joeys boys consistently tackling high with little to no consequences, this isn’t how footy should be played. Few other things in the game I didn’t really like aswell.Full time.

I don't believe he is the son of the rugby master. He is however the brother to former Newington firsts player Max DickensHello Dusk
I really felt he was a stand out player. for Newington against Kings. He is big for a halfback, but strong and provided quality ball, when New did attack. He also scored an excellent try.Very much a GPS rep Player.
Dusk, is he the son of the Rugby Master at Newington.
Definitely, surprised he wasn’t chosen last year or even year before. I can’t think of another GPS 9 in contention for that spot in GPS 1sts.I think he should play firsts for GPS Rep team against CAS. Thoughts?
He is a class player no doubt.I don't believe he is the son of the rugby master. He is however the brother to former Newington firsts player Max Dickens
