It's hard to take any of this seriously when it was you posting non-stop about how good BGS were last year and how they were premiership material. You have a short memory if you're criticising me for my predictions. You can argue that I was wrong in choosing Churchie as the pre-season favourite, after all they did have 9 QLD players - I wasn't the only one who thought that perhaps it was their year. I was wrong but I don't feel as if your criticism is justified, I doubt many of us here would have been surprised if Grammar finished outside the top 3, you can say "I told you so" but the truth is you only recognised the potential, they were never expected to beat the big teams.
And you are right, BGS is not the laughing stock of GPS sport - that would have to go to BSHS, TGS or GT (the first two due to non-participation) but there's no real glory in winning either Volleyball, Debating or Gymnastics (which I might add Churchie were reigning premiers before discontinuing the sport due to lack of interest and lack of competition). Maybe this will be the start of the BGS rugby dynasty which sees them become the greatest schoolboy team ever and win the next 10 Premierships (which would still only see them 4th overall). Time will tell.
You're right Light, I was posting about how good BGS were last year. Last year, Grammar's 1st XV contained Greene, Cornelson, Gilbert, Saunders, Blackhurst, Starr-Thomas, Radford- who all played an essential part of this years premiership team. It would have had this year's centre pairing of Aiono and Birch if the duo weren't unfortunately cruelled by season ending injuries. Furthermore, Grant Davies (2010 Aus Schools 'A' #), Blake Laud (Representative League, brother of two-try winger vs. NC Zach) and Levi Aumua (Jnr Brisbane Broncos) were still around in their second year of 1st XV Rugby. That team had a lot of potential and after seeing the aforementioned players in action this year I'm sure the fair majority of posters here would see my point. I continued to post this year, and look what happened. I didn't predict a win- In fact, I'm pretty sure I was tipping Churchie too when the reports of mass centenary importing emerged. You, however, refused to acknowledge Grammar as a contender and wrote them off as a cellar dweller. Even after the first two matches, when Grammar were undefeated with Churchie still to win a game, you attributes these results to flukes. Now you say you won't post on these forums
You're saying you can't take me seriously because I was posting predictions about a team that ultimately did not perform to expectations... Oh, the irony.
Oh, and I completely agree with Bowside. The whole "Centenary Sporting Whitewash" is by far the funniest thing in GPS Sport 2012. And given the childish nature of your "BSHS, TGS and GT are laughing stocks and nobody cares about Volleyball, Debating and Gymnastics", it makes it only sweeter.
