Joeys and Riverview are both disappointing in my experience. Scots is great on a rainy, Sydney winter's day. Kings is beautiful. Careful of the bull sharks if you have to retrieve a ball landing in the canal

In Brisbane I would say the most beautiful rugby grounds are: TGS Churchie Nudgee I list this in no particular order. I'm biased, but I think its pretty hard to beat the Nudgee home games on Ross but Toowoomba and Churchie are also very pretty. Churchie improved a lot recently and has...

If you knew what profession I work in, you would realise how embarrassing your comment is.

Terrace does have a boarding programme and it's called Nudgee College. We are both St. Josephs, founded by Ambrose Treacy and we also have the Indooroopilly campus which is named now after Treacy, and its also the name of main building at Nudgee College which was for most of its history the...

All good and solid response and I was of course being a bit provocative to bring out some good banter, as well as the fact I am still retaining the positive glow after the amazing finish to the GPS rugby Premiership. What an event that was. I used to go to a lot of the Sydney GPS matches...

Barker is for sure the top team there if you spread it across the the last few years, Shore had one good season. Nudgee also saw off Kings comfortably each time they played on Ross and the top rugby schools who visited from New Zealand and England. Joey's aren't a match for Nudgee these days...

Nudgee beat the top rugby school the last two years and lost the year before that ie Barker who beat the GPS schools. I think NSW probably have more depth across more schools there though as Qld really only producing 2 or 3 top teams each year.

I didnt see anything in the printed edition of the Couriermail (unless I am mistaken) re the 8,000 crowd and blue ribbon GPS school boy decider at Nudgee. I counted about 10 pages of NRL, a small section on the losing Wallabies, a full page on "Supercars", plenty of basketball, and AFL. and...

The issue is that the NRL is run extremely intelligently and their club matches have teams with players who are ALL more skillful than our players in the Wallabies, of course mostly in the backline. Any club team in the NRL would belt the Wallabies. Of course one can’t make one for one...

Thanks for the question Zoomer1. I can’t believe that out of all of the talent they have in the Qld GPS, and also in the other Qld competitions they don’t find room for any other schools apart from 3 schools. Qld is the heart of Australian rugby and they hardly ever play test matches in Qld nor...

Good to see 5 Nudgee boys, 2 Southport boys and a State High kid in the squad but no others selected from Qld GPS. After GPS rugby it pretty much goes to a very poor and rugby illiterate culture and very poorly run organisation. Our national side getting beaten by 67 points overnight should be...

Peace is restored in Rome Thanks very much everyone for your banter this season, I really enjoyed being part of the chat, reading your views, the GPS competitiveness, getting pulled in line a couple of times, dropping in a few rants after a couple of glasses of Shiraz and the shared interest in...

State high folded once under a bit of pressure which I saw the previous week against Terrace. It’s a mark of a great side to elevate when under pressure and State high lacked it and Nudgee thrived on it. Best school boy Rugby team on the planet in 2024, unquestionably after beating every...

Take note Australian Rugby Union. Write it down. This is the benchmark. Rugby culture at its very best.

The beast has been awoken. We want 60!

Terrible mistake for State high to score this early. This will trigger the Roman Empire to attack.

I hope you're right!

I hope you're right but I’m not sure why an attacking, dominant forward pack would be lying around to slow down the pace at the base, nor putting their hands in the ruck when they are in possession of the ball etc. It makes no sense. Positive play should be rewarded, whereas, a cynical side...
