Were you actually at the game on Saturday ... The NC was very solid and if you know anything about coaching players at this level or even playing first xv level players make mistakes but it's how they handle them and in a 10's case and to a lessor extent 12.....How they direct the team around... You even thought that they make take on the 10-12 channel to generate opportunities later on ... Don't like a decisions in isolation ... The score wasHome ground advantage should be enough to get Churchie home RD. Whilst I thought the NC forwards were good, some of the option taking from the NC 10 and 12 cost them tries at the back end of the first half against BBC.
Digby, you saw the BBC 13As last week - "Best U13 backline you have ever seen" was the quote. Can you see State High rolling them?
Have heard that NC 14A team is very good, so I'll agree with you there.

Beau Robinson attend Stannies in Bathurst, played Australian Schoolboys in 2004 with the Faingaas before trying out with the Bulldogs for two years.
Ben Daley "developed outside Queensland". Que? When (and where to) did All Saints Anglican College move?
So your one of those tall poppy NC parents that think their son is a footballer ... You know everything about coaching and playing but you never achieved it...I've watched movies on SBS without subtitles and understood more than your post, but I will reply.
I was there till just after halftime and for mine the halftime score should have been 24-0 not 12-0 to NC. Three times in the back end of the first half, through going the wrong way or throwing a wayward pass, NC butchered tries with BBC well and truly on the back foot.
If they do that against Churchie they will lose and that was my point.
State high 13A's have made some changes for this game- even after winning 61 - 0 last week. There isn't a lot of difference between the A team and the B's at the moment. Should be a great game and i will certainly be going to watch after hearing good things about the BBC A's.Home ground advantage should be enough to get Churchie home RD. Whilst I thought the NC forwards were good, some of the option taking from the NC 10 and 12 cost them tries at the back end of the first half against BBC.

TGS defensive structure and constant kick for territory game plan will be the order of the day against BGS who may simply hate the conditions and just want the day to be over and done with. TGS by 7-15
GT on paper should win this match after their 35 to 18 win against Downlands last weekend. Same same again. GT will be looking for a strong kicking game from Horan to get them downtown on a wet pitch and look for errors or turnover ball from Moroney. If IGS pressure Horan and stifle this kicking game then I think it turns into a massive forward battle and thats where IGS have the cattle. Lots of nervous people from GT but I think GT should get over the line. To predict a score will be difficult as depends on what Horan provides on the day and what IGS allow him to do. GT by 1-12
I must have missed something as the BBC v NC game was brutal. I had the privilege of meeting players from both teams and it was no easy game by any standards. Earlier posts suggest issues with the BBC 10 spot which is destabilising direction in both attack and defence and I have to agree. Delivery of pass to the 12 is late and when the 10 crabs across, the 12 running line was initially aimed at 1 maybe 2 people, to which by runs end is around 4. Set piece, field position and discipline will be the order of a very cold and wet day. I hear BSHS have some key players out. I hear that BBC have all key players available. Comes down to the first 10 minutes of the game. If BBC start slow again, the massive heart shown from BSHS and home ground support will prevail. If BBC turn up, not just in the forwards but as a 15 and dominate time and space around the set piece FROM THE WORD GO, then I think BBC will win. Once again score range hard to predict will go BBC by 5-15
What an absolute belter this game will be and I read that maybe the TSS lads will be sitting in the crowd watching their intending prey. For me it's a Nudgee win. Utterly impressed with that Mosely (NC 10), his monster kicking game and his leadership of his 12 - 13 particularly in defence. The forwards will belt each other ( thats if NC are fully recovered after last week ie shoulder injury to Mafi) so it will come down to direction on the field. Once again I may have missed something but the player of the match for the NC-BBC match was clearly the NC 9 in Pilz. He was everywhere. His ability to read an oppositions game plan is incredible and he just seems to be there if a chip kick is on or a player gets through the line. His communication and ability to direct ALL his players is fantastic and the best that I have seen. Churchie will have their home crowd going off. Be interesting though if it's pouring how many end up staying on to watch if NC get in front early. Absolute belter of a match. NC to win by 12
Great forum. Trust everyone enjoys their weekend
Time for the 21mm studs and some muscle up front....let's see how those fast stepping backs go with their moldeds. This could turn a few predictions on their head for sure.RAIN & STORMS POSSIBLE HEAVY FALLS SE QLD & NE NSW SATURDAY / SUNDAY!
*Lock it in. *SHARE to Family and Friends its going to be VERY wet this weekend WOOHOO*
*Rain and storms will spread East from inland areas late Friday and enter SE QLD over night and during Saturday with widespread falls to 50mm and isolated falls up to 100mm likely! Rain contracting to far SE QLD late on Sunday. Its August its not supposed to rain.
I said at the start of the season that no team would get within 30 points of Nudgee 14a. BBC just managed that- but I cannot see any other team doing it.Unbelievable team: talent, speed and size. Phase play , centre splits- you name it. Best junior team I have ever seen and the 3 new boys this year might just be the 3 best in the team.
TSS beat BBC, TSS and GT drew, and IGS beat TSS.
Round to round comparisons are flawed but if BBC can get within 30 points of NC, then I can see a few teams doing better.
I'm sorry TSS are currently undefeated are they not?
