I think you might be underestimating this Downlands side - one of their better ones for years and beat Churchie by 15 with 7 of their own out after a brutal win against TGS (yes Churchie rested 8 as well) but they are not the easybeats this year at least.

This has been the best competition in years with almost every game competitive - Lauries, Villa, Iona and SPLC are at the bottom but have made the other teams really work for their victories and with a bit of luck could have won these games. Match of the round will be Padua v Pats this week - a...

Sorry my fault - got told Lauries won 25-22

Postal showed today how good he was matching the Aust rep from IGS who was the best player for IGS - love the job for the selectors hey!

Great chance for the first ever Eddies premiership (and another Ashgrove "phobia" put to death) - so we now have Eddies , Ash and Padua all with a loss - the last round with Ash v Padua is now critical

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...

That is at the National Championships - at the state trials, CSS covers the state high schools, TAS and independent colleges like Downlands who are not in designated competitions

Good analysis by Light - IGS v Nudgee game will be the end of the one team's hopes for the year - if IGS play like they did against BSHS they can win and being at home should be an advantage. Comes down to who is more consistent The BBC v Downlands game will be cancelled in all likelihood as...

Selection trials for CSS this coming weekend at Caloundra - early favourites should be Darling Downs who have 14 of the Downlands 1st XV in the team but strangely not any of the coaches

Padua showed how well they scrap with their win against Eddies in round 1 - since then they have played the also rans so hard to gauge how they are really going. Good test this weekend against Lauries at Suncorp for the curtain raiser to S15. The score against Ash did not reflect the effort of...

He has been playing 2nds by choice this year - don't believe the crap about concussion and ask the player himself. Having said that, a fit and willing J Swan is an essential in any Qld rep team.

Meehan has been the only real go forward option for BSHS this year - put him with some classy forwards and he will shine

Agree entirely. Lauries got to the front with 2 quick tries after half time and looked capable of an upset. Ash's next couple of tries were opportunistic from a chargedown and then a freakish kick from the Ash fullback and mentally Lauries looked gone. Ash looked methodical finishing the game -...

8 now looks the best spot for Browning with the way he has built up his lower body but he would still be a stand out 6

Swan is playing 2nds at BSHS by choice with minimal involvement wanting just to play with mates. Suspect we won't be seeing him this year.

Talk of picking rep teams is way too premature. Historically, the selectors wait until almost the 2nd last round to make any calls simply so that they can consider as many as possible and give everyone a fair go. I agree with the approach because by then they should have seen everyone...

SPLC definitely dominant in the scrum but looked fairly even at the breakdown with 6 and 2 from SPLC and 7 and 8 from Iona the standouts and virtually cancelled each other out. SPLC 12 was busy all day breaking the front line but lacked support or when they got there, the ball was dropped by the...

Word has it that the GPS competition will be staged in term 3 next year with soccer in term 2 - how will that fit in with the rep games which are played in late June and early July

Agree entirely - GT's best chance of a win will be in bye weekend against Downlands but there is little reason for confidence though. Downlands beat TGS who trashed GT - form suggests another loss for GT Great to see such optimism coming from their supporters - the worst thing that could...

Sure is game on this season with the best competition in years and big games in the next two weeks. Interesting game next weekend at Suncorp with BGS v BBC should be a win to BGS but don't forget that BBC won the preseason trial and have the experience of winning at Suncorp (last year against...
