    GT were terrible Didn't appear to have a coherent game plan. Other than Glen (11) the backs had no penetration. No excuses BBC were much better. The season was disappointing. 5 loss 3 win record. Should have beaten Nudgee but after that it went downhill. Have to change Maybe a fresh start with...

    The GT lineout was terrible. Windy day but kept throwing long to the back. Missed target about 8 times. Backline tried hard but was very predictable. Wilson heavily marked. Best for GT was 15. Best for BGS was 3.

    Selection headaches ar GT. The lineout was terrible. The long throw in is never straight and throws any where else were a lottery. Lost far too many own throws. Gazman fit to return next week but will they rush him back in first up? In my view yes. Need his size and muscle. Who would make way...

    I know there is so much rugby talent out there. We all have our preferences and prejudices with players (and schools) This year in GPS the coach will make the difference . Look at Churchie Under 16 last year. Not the best side but best coached. I am not a Churcie dad. NC v GT round one . The...

    I said the same thing when watching Qld v NSW at wests about six weeks ago. Even worse going right to left. Picked for bash and barge. Australia will pay a price for no skilled second flyhalf

    I agree with most of the selections but I would put Cross at 6. Very big and mobile. Would make a good runner off Wilson or Howard. Backs look good. Forwards needs bit of fire power.

    I watched the game on Saturday and I didn't have a son playing. I agree with most of your comments. The game was terribly boring even for a rugby tragic like me. The 12 is big and is a brutal tackler but he has few ball skills. Unless our plan is to run over teams then we have the wrong back...

    Agreed there is a lot of talent for the coaches to work with. The 10 from the GT 16A last year must be favorite for the GT firsts this year given his appearances off the bench for the firsts last year. I assume Ralston will play 12 but 15 is still an option. The 12 from last years 16 A is a very...

    Watched the Reds game. No ball players in the back line yet great wingers. They have gone for size but the ball never makes it to the wingers. Massive overlaps but no one ever had the ability to grasp the opportunity. Size is good but brains are better. My humble views but at present the side is...
