What's the thought on Kings? The general feeling is that without Harry Jones they are seriously diminished in strength. Kings loss is Barkers gain!
Just got an email from Country Juniors saying the boys will be trialing against Shore whilst they are in Myuna bay (North End of Lake Macquarie) camp this weekend. There's no rugby ground at Myuna Bay so must be nearby. My guess is it must be Sunday.
I think that MrRugby37 might be a it closer to the action than me but I've heard that the starting team will likely be:MrRugby37 or CTPE any idea what the Kings firsts team list is to play Joeys on Saturday?
Shore 1sts playing country U18s and 2nds playing U17s
At the end of last year, they also lost Sam Carter and then his replacement John Roberts, also left. I suspect this years back line is very different from what the coaches anticipated from last season, but a good opportunity and challenge for the boys who are there now. I'm sure I read, in a previous post that the coaching staff has also changed?What's the thought on Kings? The general feeling is that without Harry Jones they are seriously diminished in strength.

I knew that Harry Jones had left Kings but now there is two more of their 1sts backs gone from last year?At the end of last year, they also lost Sam Carter and then his replacement John Roberts, also left.

What happened in '98?Gents, this should've been posted on the scholarship thread or well should've just posted it there but interesting to know that this weekend, I will leave them nameless but there are only 2 boys in this week's 1st XV that have started in year 7 for Newington and only 1 not on scholarship (JM). Is it a shame? or is it just a coincidence?
It's good to see that these two players of which my nephew knows personally, have come through the ranks and has played consistent rugby 13A's, 14A's 15A's rugby and so on, to now progress to one of the most controversial 1st XV's Newington and the GPS competition has seen since in the infamous 1998 Scots 1st XV.
Think Srow is referring to the '93 premiership team - five boys from a U16 rep team entered the school in '92 (although one left after a year).What happened in '98?
Support what you say but how about letting the mods adjudicate by say excising it from this forum and posting it where it should be?Probably better to follow protocols and discuss the Scholarship, Bursary, Fee Relief etc issues on the relevant thread.
The mods usually take a rather dim view of this in the "normal" Schoolboy footy threads.
Oh '93, High's last great chance at winning the comp. Finishing a gallant second, losing only one game to Scots. Who can forget the Joeys first XV being brought into a post-game huddle at Mackay, to be told how to break the news to their fathers, uncles and brothers that High had just smashed them. Those were not tears of joy. So sad we will not see that day again.Think Srow is referring to the '93 premiership team - five boys from a U16 rep team entered the school in '92 (although one left after a year).
Randwick rep teamI think - didnt it include S. Pinkerton?Think Srow is referring to the '93 premiership team - five boys from a U16 rep team entered the school in '92 (although one left after a year).
That sounds great FK! Do you know venue and times? Cheers, Wreckless

With riverview having their first real hit out on the weekend against auggies, they looked sharp and fit, with fast running rugby being played. the front 3 looking sharp and look big the second rowers looking strong but it was the number 6 who was the stand out forward lincoln whitley, with conor menzies suffering an anckle injury they had to do some re shuffling, jack hayson moving to the forward pack this year seems to have paid of as he was looking good in defence.
The backline who are all very fit and fast with mcgregor hutchinson mete all doing aths, they looked good. jack mcgregor showing why he has been givin the number 10 with a phenominal boot, with the backline all knowing eachothers game and growing up playing together it will be a backline that does not have much size but will be able to run anyone around.
Injuries: with jack hayson and henry huctinson having a collision at training it has led to henry being out for the week and having a knee structure on, while jack hayson being a forward will need to go on, connor menzies has been on crutches all week and says he will be back for newington but wont be 100% thats all that reamains on that front for this team that is only know being said they could do well, people are doubting them but they have the bond to win.
