Amen Peter Fitzsimons! Sounds like some of our top rugby players have adopted the same attitude as our cricketers. How is that 6 players (that I know of) namely; Taniela Tupou, Moses Sorovi, Adam Korczyk, James Tuttle and Nick Frisby and Sef Fagaase can come back and play for their clubs and...

I agree. There needs to be a concerted effort to keep teams like Bond & Logan in the comp and a greater focus on regional clubs like Rangers that are in an Rugby league heartland. Rangers have produced some really good players in years gone by. Players like Rod Davies and most recently Jameson...

Peter Lee played prem mens for Sunnybank. He is now playing league for Tweed and doing quite well at that.

I would pay to see this team play the Reds at Ballymore at the close of the season.

Talent certainly plays a large part in the selection and success of sporting teams. Heart and the willingness to be coached is however what makes a team great. This is evident from the success of the Wests Prem Colts side this year. Cudos to the coaches for what they have achieved with these...

I would love to see the QLD GPS season go to 16 rounds (6 months) like in South Africa & New Zealand and also include schools from the AIC and TAS competitions. This would give the boys in these schools an opportunity to showcase their skills on a bigger stage. While they may initially struggle...

It sounds like this was a pretty strong cohort across the board. I believe BSHS had 7 boys who started in grade 8. IGS had 7 boys who were there in grade 8 while some of these boys go back as far a grade 3. I also believe that 7 boys in the second XV were there in grade 8 as well. 2...

Both NC & GT must be doing something right in their defense whether it be intentional or not. They have the least points scored against them. Does anyone have a try count for the final ladder?

Great stats. Thanks for providing these. Any idea (numbers only) how many boys that just played their last first XV game were at their respective schools since the start of grade 8? Would also be good to know how many grade 12 boys (not in the firsts) who started in grade 8 were still playing...
