I call on the moderators for a ban on Tight Head Lion or an online apology, this site is a pretty serious one and while humour is encouraged, it is hardly a place for outright racism. TIGHT HEAD get this and get it right Newington College is proud of our Tongan Boys and the cultural richness they bring to the school. These boys are deeply Christian and real gentleman as shown by their three cheers for the Joeys supporters last week.
However, in the spirit of Christian forgiveness that Tongan boys would display, I suspect would see Tight Head Lion"s comments stem from a poor attempt at humour and poor sportsmenship that was ill thoughtout and brought about by the disappiontment of a heavy loss from Newington. Our TONGAN BOYS would never disrespect you or your school way you disrespect us today on this site. Such comments do neither Scots or yourself any credit.
Finally,If you have nothing nice to say about Newington or our Tongans say nothing. And I hope the moderators will do something about these tasteless racist comments which in the workplace would get someone fired from their employment.
While I suspect that Tight head Lion is speaking with tongue firmly in cheek, I agree with your sentiments.
The Newingtonga "nickname" gets bandied about a bit by the younger GPS boys, but I think there is a real respect for the Tongan boys - their ability and behaviour on and off the footy field, by all age groups within the GPS. Let's show them the respect they deserve and give it a rest THL, you're not doing yourself or your school any favours.
Firsts:
Kings scored their first try within 4 mins of the kick off and had 26 points on the board after 15 mins. The half time score was 59-0 and it was really nearly touch football. Kings raced away to 78-0 before bringing on a host of replacements from their seconds squad. The carnage continued without respite and by all accounts full time was blown 6 minutes early.
I was very disappointed with Grammar and expected them to make it more of a contest in the early stages especially after the reports about their previous efforts. Whilst pundits can whine on about imports and scholarships if you just draw a line between them and Shore, the hierarchy at Grammar should hang their heads in shame at what they have let happen at a school that has a very long, successful and proud rugby tradition.
NRLington won easily. Scots scored a late try to make it respectable.
There is something special about this SHORE 1st 15 side. They might not have the big names or reputation, but they play for eachother and they play with passion, that is why they won today.
Great effort by the boys and coaches.
I don't know specific names but the number 8 was strong and the young Shore five eighth were excellent today with both players involved in a fantastic try that put Shore in front.

Seconds:
A great contest won by Kings in the end through some outstanding defence particualry at the back end of the first half when TAS had long periods of possession at the right end of the field. Kings skipped away to an early 14-0 lead with two excellent backline tries. TAS then dominated possession and looked likely to score on a number of occasions only to be repelled by some outstanding defence from the Kings forwards. When play resumed in the second half Kings again scored early to stretch their lead to 19-0. From then on it was a case of a number of bombed opportunities from Kings that would have seen the lead stretch even further. TAS started to gain good momentum mid way through the second half and scored two tries in quick succession to peg the lead back to 19-12. It was a very physical game and one where TAS showed that they were well up to the standard against a Kings seconds side that still sits atop the GPS ladder. Given the result in the firsts match and the effort put in by TAS, the AAGPS would do well to consider reversing the firsts and seconds fixtures next year by having TAS play the other GPS firsts sides and Grammar the other seconds team.
Thirds:
High's decision to take an early penalty attempt proved wise as it avoided a zero result on the scoreboard. A fairly tradesmanlike performance from KIngs thirds but High competed well despite the final result.
Sorry hero, 'hang their heads in shame'? you do know they are only schoolboys, and sorry if they disappointed you mate maybe next time you should have a run against some of these boys because they would dig your cranium into the ground. How about other GPS schools 'hang their heads in shame' when they get their HSC results back
Scots vs. ShoreWho is everyone playing next week?
Scots vs. Shore
Riverview vs. Kings
Joeys vs. SGS
Shore Five Eighth is Jack Clancy, Year 11 at Shore who has a very strong pass, decisive step and pace to burn (running at GPS athletics)! Has been in great form all season and has been joined by his twin brother Nick this week in the 1s who plays fullback. Both players are extremely talented and will have another strong impact upon the 2013 season!!
Thanks very much. I must admit I was surprised about the lack of Shore students at the game. You'd think they would have more support given their teams success this year. Riverview had greater numbers and it was at Northbridge!?
