They play by grade in the AIC because the players are so much smaller compared to GPS...
Playing in grade is by far the worst idea I've heard since kids can be two years older. ie. having a 13 year old playing with 15 year olds
Heard that Michael Lucas has joined that state high coaching panel as a forward coach. He was in the churchie first system during the successful era and has moved on to a general manager role at Easts this season I believe. A really good pick from the school if this has happened.
Gideon Wrampling BSHS (2014-2017) has made the New Zealand Schoolboys after being poached by the Chiefs at the end of last season and moving to NZ to finish his schooling. Another loss to the Reds.
Looks like state high has some very strong Junior age groups u15 A’s, u14 A’s and u13 A’s and sitting at the top of the table.
13A’s Undefeated averaging 33.25 points for and 1.4 points against.
14A’s Undefeated averaging 31 points for and 6.75 against
15A’s Tied first with one loss...
My Predictions
TSS vs Churchie
TSS by 19
BBC v GT
BBC by 10
Nudgee v BSHS
BSHS by 3
IGS V BGS
IGS by 14
If BSHS execute their set pieces I feel that BSHS can cause a major upset with a number of Nudgee boys coming in with poor form
Brisbane High and TSS both played Westlake boys high (NZ)
1st game: BSHS won by 2 points. Team looked really strong, not as many superstars as last year but they have a lot of good players throughout the park. Westlakes had a huge front row but BSHS really put it to them and dominated them.
2nd...
Ísäać Crone moved to scrumhalf due to the first choice scrumhakf having a season ending injury. Not becuase Pona relegated Crone, even though Pona is a great player
GPS TEAM OF THE SEASON
1. Egan Siggs (TGS)
2. Rhys Van Nek (BBC)
3. Emile Tuimavave (BGS)
4. Harry Wilson (GT)
5. Trevor Hosea (BBC)
6. Cam Howard (GT)
7. Thomas Kibble (BBC)
8. TGS Number 8 (headgear)
9. Phoenix Hunt (NC)
10. Campbell Parata (TSS)
11. Villiami Lea (IGS)
12. Noah Lolesio (TSS)...
Jordan P (BSHS #15) should definitely be the fullback for the GPS team of the season over Jangala B (NC #15). Jordan is a slightly better ball carrier but he is much stronger in the defence sector.

Massive game BSHS 3RD XV against BGS 3RD XV with the losing team set to receive the wooden spoon. This game is set to be a cracker with a lots of missed tackles, drop balls and big hits. All though 90% of the team are playing their 1st year of rugby, they play the game as though they've played...
Round 8 prediction
TSS over Nudgee by 5. This game is set to be a cracker played in front of a huge crowd. Nudgee has just had too many close games this season for them to get the win over the TSS boys. I feel that TSS have been really dominant in all games except for one.
BSHS over BGS by 10...
BSHS vs BBC
BSHS were definitely in it to the end. An error from the guy that runs the clock on the scoreboard cost BSHS a try, and changed the momentum going into the second half.
