I think TGS will do well at home and it certain match-ups, I don't like them away at BBC though.
How anyone who saw the BBC V GT trial could think BBC was going to win last week is beyond me and I think last weekend was predictably BBC's rock bottom. As flawed as the team is they are better than they have been the last 2 weeks and will get better over the next few.
As for GT, I have said all along i think they have the most exciting team (Churchie may argue that) and that they will cause the top teams problems (no TSS is not a top team) and are a better all round team than 2013 - I don't believe they can win the comp though.
TSS on the other hand, I don't think are as good as the previous years and are not as good as the result on the weekend may indicate - if the game was in Brisbane and Roycroft was available I think GT would and should be favorites.
Playing at home, I will wait for the Roycorft appeal process to play out before deciding but it is very hard to call - probably leaning to TSS.
Anyway that is enough help to those chasing me in the tipping ;-)

What we learnt from round 1:
- Only 2 teams can win the comp (ACGS & NC)
- BBC read their own press and get stage fright
- Terrace are back with a vengeance (1st XV and across the age groups)
- Grammar are back - to where they usually are
- TSS have little flair but are well coached in basics.
- At State High and Ippy rugby barely maintaining a foothold (1X U16 team at BSHS).
- Toowoomba play gutsy rugby
- All Opens below 1st XV are a 2 horse race NC & TSS (like last few years)
- Only 2 teams can win the comp (ACGS & NC)
- BBC read their own press and get stage fright
- Terrace are back with a vengeance (1st XV and across the age groups)
- Grammar are back - to where they usually are
- TSS have little flair but are well coached in basics.
- At State High and Ippy rugby barely maintaining a foothold (1X U16 team at BSHS).

- All Opens below 1st XV are a 2 horse race NC & TSS (like last few years)

Last years GT 16B's won every game, most by 50+ to Nil (NC, TGS, & TSS the exceptions) .
A lot changes in the open age group, but I'd be surprised if GT aren't up there too.

Wheat/chaff sorting due Sat 2/8.

Heh ...
GT 2nds downed BBC 6 tries to Nil.
TSS downed BBC 21 to 12.
Now BBC would have been missing quite a few against GT no doubt, but I would not expect a "sorting" come Saturday.
In some ways, the 2nds could be the game to watch!

The seconds look like boasting Roycroft for the year as well, should boost the team even further, just another reason for a certain poster around here to be nervous.

GT vs BGS last year (16B), yes GT did some away with the win but certainly not by 50 points. Can't remember the scoreline, but yet again, GT win wasn't 50 points.
Sporting Pulse doesn't help much there. Only game with score missing

Poor ippy grammar , feel sorry for the boys that play rugby, the school seems more focused on other GPS sports - got a headmaster that is into Aussie rules , a director of sport who is really only interested in athletics and I think this will be the third year that they don't have a director of rugby

GT won 39-0
So yeah not 50+ (although I was just trying to keep my post short) ... But a solid smashing all the same.

Interesting fact 5 terracians from the 16 B's are now starting and doing quite well in the 1sts
That is terrible for the boys and the School.
What is happening at Ippy!!

I wouldn't believe everything you read here.
If you check out the schools enrolments over the last decade, and the increasing competition in the area they service, I think you could work out what's going on.

Sure does show hints of Churchie 2012, Churchie fixed it by replacing there Captain with a player who knew how to lead by example, not by carrying the coaches bags after training, BBC were going ok until they sought divine intervention and since then have lost their way in the last two outings.
