You may be right - I was on the the right touchline so I never saw the loosehead side. I did spot him wearing 8 though
I'm not sure when Terrace start training, but some other schools begin their fitness training in December. If Leofa is still this unfit weeks out from competition starting then I'm not sure how much fitter he'll get. These were 30 minute games at absolute tops, and Leofa was completely spent. I hope for competitions sake he can pick himself up

At one stage BBC v Nudgee, the Nudgee 1 & 2 were lifted off their feet and driven onto their backs- against the feed. At least two other occasions the BBC tight head split the Nudgee front row.I agree- BBC lineout was a shambles (as it has been for 3 years ) but scrum was strong(as it has been for 3 years)
Well this certainly wasn't the case for him (Syd Smith) today vs Nudgee. Biggest on the field by quite a bit (size). Looked absolutely gigantic.
Walked past Carrozza with his little Red notebook and he had written down
BBC-15,10 , 4,2
-NC 12 &3
-IGS 3
not surprising- all but BBC 10 are in his QRU under 18 squad

Bit harsh the comments on Leofa, a few factors to consider:
How many games has he actually played since 15A's at state high due to injuries?
How many games has he actually played at Prop?
Saturdays games I believe was his first hit out first XV level.
Transition from No 8 to LH prop is not going to happen automatically, will take time.
2012 was actually an impressive side, but I think it still had a bit of self-doubt about it: ie. the loss to Grammar.I see Conrad Quick has been added to the Aussie under 20 squad for the World Cup in NZ.
That makes 3 boys from the ill - fated 2012 BBC 1st xv in that squad . Those 3 boys played a total of only 5matches between them in 2012.
So IGS &BSHS there is a lesson to be learned for this year: to win a GPS premiership you need no injuries or
Depth/depth/depth.
My personal pet hate is League players that ALWAYS try and cut inside.. coached into them from a young age
Fraser McReight played some part in the BGS side and is in year 10. He plays 8 in his age group. How did he go and where did he play?
Is he the only year 10?
