You have got to be kidding if you believe that BGS played well against ACGS. I personally think that ACGS did not play their best, but BGS were off their game. Their long line of injuries weighed the boys down. However, without a doubt, BGS's structure was incredible. Every player in the team knows what to do and where to be at every moment of the game. Other schools may have individual talent over BGS, however, as long as Damon Emtage (BGS head coach) is their BGS will be more than a tough team.

First half was a classic game rolling on momentum - IGS scored early and BNudgee hit back and vice versa with NC leading 26-22 at the break - game changers were the loss of IGS 7 and 10 causing realignments, NC lifted a notch or 2 or 3 and played the position game for the whole secnd half and ran out deserved winners. IGS 2 was their thier best player but his opposing player was brialliant as was NC no 7 - the standout the day, What a competition we have,

Crunch Time
Crunch Time:
TGS 18 defeated By TSS 36- Won't spend too much time on this one, all accounts say it was the way this game was expected to go. Some spirited play from a TGS but ultimately they were out classed by TSS.
IGS 22 defeated by NC 50- This was a game that made us rethink the competition as previously favoured IGS are now all but out of contention. I am yet to talk to anyone about this game so cant really say to much else.
BGS 16 Defeated by ACGS 26- This was the game that I chose to attend this week. It was considered the round of the season but Grammar played poorly, not making first up tackles and allowing Churchie's bigger runners to make meters. It was generally poor defence; a poor lineout at times from Grammar let them down as the game was there for the taking. The potency of the Grammar team is surely under review, not only after this result but after the IGS result as it was often sighted as evidence to Grammar's strength.
GT 3 Defeated by BSHS 79- another week, another 70 point loss for Terrace. Their determination to keep teams under 80 points must be commended but this team is well and truly out of the competition and are considered the easy beats, 8 losses for them this season? I think so. Not much you can learn about BSHS from this game.

it wasn't bad, nearly went into one of the neighbours yards on the full. terrace had 3 good chances to put 5 on the board in the first ten minutes, but after then the talent and depth of BSHS started to shine through

sounds like a big kick! Nominate some man of the matches?, I'm assuming most were watching the ACGS v BGS game as it was reasonably close and didn't require much driving.. Who were the standouts/injuries across the board?

I don't know if you've ever been to Carina, but it takes a fair drive to get to Northgate from there.

The display by the GT 1st XV was woeful. We must remember that they played the most of the 2nd half against 14 men (after the BSHS outside centre was red-carded).

In all fairness, only two of Terrace's first choice backline played yesterday. And both of them were forced to play out of position, with 5 guys from the seconds.

Fair enough Jack - what worries me is the lack of commitment at any form of contact. It's all very well to say the boys are giving it their best but three matches where the opposition has scored 70+ points is stretching it a little.

GT boys must have a pretty strong resilience - turning up week on week to get hammared. They also cop it from other schools, parents & on facebook. It is about time GT old boys took it on to pressure the school hierarchy to change the rugby programe. Rugby is not everything but sport is a crucial part of any youth's development. There seems to be a problem with all GT sports programes. In respect to rugby a look through all scores in all age levels shows it is just a problem in the opens. The headmaster & the director of rugby should take the bulk of the criticism not the boys. For all the criticism levelled at Nudgee has an extremely strong shool spirit throughot the school. This is not because of achievements of the cattle stud or chess program but because of achievements on the sporting arena. As GT banners say "No excuses" but time is running out to turn the ship around.

I agree hatman - something needs to be done. They could start with teaching all the boys how to tackle - there seems to be a curious acceptance of missed tackles in all grades. Terrace, behind Joey's, is the 2nd largest rugby nursery in Australia. there is waaaaay to much history and pride to let things stand as they are.

I left out a 'not' - I meant to say "There seems to be a problem with all GT sports programes. In respect to rugby a look through all scores in all age levels shows it is NOT just a problem in the opens.".

Thing is, not all GT sports programmes are bad. GT won rowing for 3 years straight and was once again one of the stronger schools this year. The basketball programme is solid for something that is just thrown in after rugby, and soccer is going alright from what I've heard (not that I listen to soccer crap too much). It's not so much a matter of scholarships, last year Terrace churned out 3 Australian schoolboys, and from the '09 team, Liam Gill is playing for the Reds, another has a contract with the Broncos and there are 2(?) other old boys playing first grade. This year just happens to be a weaker year on the talent front. But as I've said before, Terrace have promising 16's coming through - 5 year 11's are in the firsts and the 16A's have been luckless to lose twice in the last 2 minutes as well as a draw.

ACGS will crack the century against Terrace
