The Rise and Rise of the Roman Empire BSHS Vs GT- It should be an easy one for the Brisbane State but don't underestimate the resistance from the Spring Hill flank of the Roman Empire. I'm going to stick with the State even though I would love to see a boil over from the Gazans. State by 7...

Firstly that's not true, and Nudgee has put on many more Wallabies in the last 30 years, Grammar put on many in the early part of their history, the Nudgee boys mostly went back to the bush in their early history and many stars didn't go on in those days, and secondly Nudgee has won 44...

It's the other way round i.e. the school attracts the best rugby talent due to its reputation for producing rugby professionals, just like BGS attracts the most nerds due to its reputation for producing book worms. When my grandfather was there, he was one of the 7 Nudgee boys who was in the GPS...

Local wire The market is shorting BBC and going long Nudgee College @ 45. I repeat, a 45th Nudgee Premiership is rated BUY on the Miskin Exchange. Get all your clients on it! I repeat ISIN - RomanEmpire45 BUY

I missed the first 10 minutes as was watching it on GPS live stream (absolutely hopeless. They got the scores wrong in both this game and also the IGS Churchie match) so it would have been more accurate for me to say from 10 minutes to 30 minutes Nudgee played loose and easy. Good feedback and I...

Nudgee has actually now produced 30 Wallabies as well as the 2nd most number of Australian School Boy reps after Joeys in Sydney (both over 100). 44 GPS Premierships also which isn’t a bad effort. BBC though is looming and this will be a great match. Nudgee have to get out of the habit of the...

Anyone have any updates on the TGS lad who was ambulanced off Ross in the firsts? I heard a neck injury but I hope this is not the case?

Nudgee will not win next weekend. I repeat, Nudgee will not win next weekend against BBC if they play like they did today. Absolutely not a chance. The first 25 minutes for Nudgee wa catastrophe and they will not beat a team like BBC if they do this again. I couldn’t believe the lack of...

Not true and it’s open to all schools just like scholarship programmes and other selection processes unique to their school. “As we all know from the Roman empire, big empires go down if the borders are not well-protected.” - Bring your best 15 to Gallipoli but you’ll meet all of our...

It’s a private institution and it’s our business if we want to offer boys an extra year if they wish, just like they do at all the GPS schools on a case by case basis. My father and I still attend social functions decades after leaving the school including attending the rugby, donating to the...

Yes I noticed when I switched between a match at Churchie and Tennyson on the live feed that the Churchie field was noticeably greener and more lush than the Tennyson oval. Wasn’t sure if it was the camera work or the actual field but it really needs some work there as it looks like what the...

I love the new nickname of Tennyson as Gaza and Nudgee as Gallipoli. I get the Gallipoli call but can I ask the story behind the Gaza name? Also, any other nicknames for grounds?

The Welsh Presbyterians v the Irish settlers should be the game of the round and I hope my non-boarding brothers manage to knock off the lads in the Cuban hats and also soften them up for the Nudgee weekend which is looming. Gaza is a difficult cricket ground to play rugby on and the stay at...

I don’t usually see many more than that but it would be great if more of them got behind this year’s team as they have a great rugby history.

Yes good points. Either TGS or BBC have the ability to knock off Nudgee and I’d have to say State High have a great chance of winning the Premiership

The Nudgee College v the State school on Ross Oval is going to be a classic. The Staties really made light work of the Church kids last weekend and I’d have to say they are a great chance of getting in the way of Nudgee pulling off the Triple Crown. There will be a massive crowd of Nudgee...

In terms of the Premiership, the only consequential match will be State school v Church School. BBC will of course make easy work of BGS and keep BBC building into a titanic match against Nudgee and potentially into some Premiership chatter. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Churchie lads knock...

So the strongest day I think for any school against Nudgee with Terrace winning; - 5/31 games of the day - 0 until the 15Ds - 0 A teams - 0 opens - 0 u16s - had 25 points scored against them in the 1st XV (most wins were +25, 30, 40 point margins) - 0 direct hits in “egg-gate” where the Terrace...
