Anyone know where the 10 from Joeys is? Thought I may have seen him running water at Kings yesterday

Joey Fowler - Joeys 10 from last year - coming back from a shoulder reconstruction. Should be back this week vs Barker, if not then definitely for the Knox game week after.

It maybe unknown, but the Newington Cadet Corp is Co-educationl with MLC Burwood. Clearly, some of the boys will have other things on their minds, that go beyond Rugby.

Hi All
Newington v St Augustines Match Report
After a tough and even battle last Saturday against Scots, Newington made a few changes to their backline ( which I think were for the better ) and came up against an Auggies team that got thumped by Shore. Everyone expected Auggies to be better than last week ( which they probably were ) however never looked like putting a lot of pressure on New.
New 10 ( should play 10 all the time ), had a great game and passed, kicked and ran the ball and took the right options most of the time. Good service from 9 with the forwards giving a good set piece. Solid centre pairing which handled the Auggies backline and made many breaks. The 15 for New is a find. Runs hard and straight and links well with the wingers. With 1/2 players coming back in the next couple of weeks, a few tweaks may happen ( as mentioned, I think J Maclean best position in this team is 11 ) but at the moment 13 is ok for him.
The forwards were solid. Improving on the Scots game, their line out was good and scrum was solid. Auggies is not a top side however it was good to see New forwards run hard and straight and seemed to have better fitness than in previous years. Breakdown was in general ok with a few mistakes but conceded a soft goal line try early. This can not happen against better teams. Overall, a good performace.
2nds dominated and were better than last week.
Newington will play Waverley, Knox and Kings next. This will be a good test to see were they are. As mentioned, I think New have the talent in most positions to challenge for the premiership. Fitness and depth will be their biggest hurdle. Fingers crossed the boys stay healthy.
Any other New supporters have thoughts about the game
See you in two weeks

Sydney Juniors Competition Playing Rules, appendix B. Depends on the citation, but 4-8 weeks for a spear. If you're actually serious about this, you should read the rules and get someone from your club to help you.

I thought a red card only warranted a 1-2 week ban from all rugby in juniors? Never heard of 4-8 weeks?

After analysing the weekends I think Shore was by far the most impressive. Shore only lost one game across all age groups. They are yet to lose a GPS game in the 1sts 2nds and 3rds.

New play Knox in two weeks so we will know then how good that was.
Hi LineoutMark
Even though I rate Shore very highly this year, I think it would be wise to wait a few more games before announcing them as clear favs. Wins against
Auggies, even though it was 82-0, Auggies are not strong this year. Knox 23-19 is a win and by all reports could have gone either way. And I don't rate Knox as good as previous years. Shore will have to play a few more teams and their last trial is against Scots before they play Joeys 1st round.
Agree with Homer. The picture will become clearer as each team play each other and comparison of scores can occur.

I am not sure how you can accidentally do a spear tackle... You need to pick him up, raise both legs past the horizontal, and then force him to land on his shoulder or back (yellow card), or on his head or neck (red card).
I do hope you learn that these tackles are simply dangerous, not on, and there is no room for them in our game..

Hey Joker, as for point 4 it probably should read: "equal to (or lower?) than the lowest scores picked for the round". Just want to circumvent the unlikely situation if all away teams win!

Excellent report Wyvernboy. Also great to hear that 1/2 the players are returning. It would appear that New has some depth. I just wondering if you or dusk, have any A Team results. It always nice to know how the school is travelling with these teams, plus any other results if its possible.
Many Thanks

Hi Black & White
15A's and 16A's won quite comfortably against Auggies. Not much else to report except New 16A's are a fairly strong team and all yr10 with not many/if any going up to opens. This may not be the case with other GPS schools this year ie: Scots as a few 16's are playing up.
