Coach gets what he wants?

Ok, I won't. As long as you stop posting it

A bit too much MCA content on YouTube for my liking. They haven't won a comp for years and yet there's first XV promos and player profiles all over the place. Let's do something and then you can plaster social media with your achievements. Ashgrove have not won a First XV premiership since a...

And the referee, whilst a bit whistle happy, wasn't woeful compared to some I've seen at schoolboy matches in recent years. The Padua supporters wanted her outed as a Mount St Michaels' old girl at one stage in the first half when their team was behind, but generally, decisions made were the...

That's a pretty harsh assessment of a team that lost by 2 points. There was plenty of guts from Ashgrove and plenty of blood spilt by both teams. Padua lost two players to yellow cards and then lost their inspirational hooker for the match to injury. Ashgrove's 10 had his face bandaged up like a...

BC, Riverside has more forwards than that in the mix I would think. They have only lost one game this season. Wouldn't Riverside be considered for the Blue team as per 2015? And Wests Kenmore will get more than 3 reps in the Green team. What's the maximum one club team can provide?

Did anyone see the Brothers v Souths Div 1 game in under 14? Congrats to Brothers on their win.

Easts broke their duck today beating GPS in a close one. Intercept try sealed the result in the last minute. Well done Tigers, too good in the 2nd half.

Jeepers! No posts on this thread for over a month! Is it true they're calling Riverside the Breakfast Club? Just because they want to be at home at 8.30am every Sunday?

Ashgrove scored 8 tries by my count and converted only one (the last 2 goals missed from virtually in front). Lauries definitely competitive in first half and trailled only 12-0 at the break. In the first half, SLC's midfield tested the two big centres (agree that Wrattan is not a centre) from...

Not sure about that. Joeys not a big rowing school (only one 1st VIII Head of the River since early 70s). They have not won a GPS rugby premiership for years. Their rowing has improved and not suggesting a correlation between the two but my understanding is that not that many rowers were...

I feel Lauries will finish higher than 7th and have seen them rated as high as 3rd on this forum. Where did the SLC 15 and 16As finish last season? I sense they deserve a bit of respect and will certainly be a tough opponent for Ashgrove in this week's trial games. Significant pressure on Padua...

I agree. Trials can be misleading depending on selections.

Also heard the Iona v Villa game was ordinary with a capital 'O'...... First 2 weeks after Easter, Ashgrove play Iona and Lauries in trial games. The Lauries game will be revealing to ascertain if they are to challenge Padua and MCA this year.

Are you suggesting less teams from Brisbane solves that dilution? Or should more talent be encouraged to play JGC? My sense is that there were a number of boys who chose NOT to participate. Subsequently, there were also boys chosen who had no choice about their level of participation because...

As a truly impartial observer, that last sentence made HRH chuckle. You're a funny man GO.

To be fair, you did say "before their school days are over" in your original post or words to that effect. But there is still time...Heaven forbid they are recruited after that! Another tranche of excellent AIC rugby talent will appear this year. A few new names will be recognised and let's...

Agree, this is spot on and counters the views of many on this and other threads about which players ultimately make it. If you haven't read this link, do it now. Well said Mr.Papworth.

It must be the wing spans and elbow lengths of these elite players causing the boil overs.

This is all old news. Anyone got any new news?
