Can anyone confirm 13As score please? Fox Sports Pulse link says BGS beat GT 39-5 but Terrace Twitter says 26-0 to the red and blacks. Ipswich put 97 on Churchie after putting 60 on BBC 13As last week. Bad defence or good attack?

There are many other reasons for the number of injuries at 12/13/14. One of the major reasons for broken bones in children is the high sugar, high salt and highly processed diets kids in the western world now live on compared to the meat and three veges their parents grew up on. Kids are...

GPS 37 Easts 17. Very close at HT. Both teams short on troops.

Your points #1 on participation and #2 on coaching conflicts are spot on, although the latter is hard to avoid, even over a split season with rep rugby thrown in too. I believe half season options from Year 10 onwards is worth consideration as size and physicality increase. Before then, I agree...

Reg, you can't knock Tipi's passion for his team or his kids. There's always rumours associated with the successful. People think they have had more than their fair share of luck or taken a short cut - it's commonly known as the tall poppy syndrome. Yes, very sad but you cannot knock a coach for...

GPS had a poor season but with several in the Reds squad, were depleted. Not sure the new coach went down that well with some long term players who decided to play lower lower grades than their ability would suggest and club members will be asking what the hell happened. I didn't see a game...

And just for the boys who did miss out in 2015, your careers are ahead of you. Work hard and think like this bloke below. He ended up doing okay.

I didn't see the City v Country games but heard that last year's #2 in the 13s missed out on selection in the 14s city team despite captaining his Blue team that defeated Pink in the state champs pool round. I suppose it comes down to what certain coaches want in their sides and proves...

I did say maybe not this game.

With 74 points in 50 minutes, there was a lot of down time spent taking conversions, walking back to half way and kicking off. It cost anywhere up to 20% of the game time. Disappointing for the 46 boys involved. Time to ban tees and take drop kicks so there is more game time. With no time off...

Agree with your detailed summary GO and well done on your selection predictions. One small correction - the BB v BP slugfest was played on Saturday morning and yes, it probably took its toll on Pink as the subsequent semi final on Sunday morning took its toll on Green who had to back up 2 hours...

Brisbane Blue v Brisbane Pink first up in the 13s. Should be a great contest and decide winner of Pool A

http://www.rugbylink.com.au/common/pages/public/rv/draw.aspx?gradeid=20214_1&seasonid=93&entityid=51409 Link to all results and tables above. Brisbane teams looked rusty in first games but better in second ones. Most are now leading their age group ladders. Will be great to have the 12s here...

Yes, it's been a season with some unexplained results. Perhaps injuries, the adjacent AIC season for some of the contingent and away form is to blame? GPS could turn that around in round 2 with most games at home. Thanks for the balance and corrections/edits to your earlier views. Will watch out...

It would be disappointing to see boys picked on name and not on what they do against their competition. I'm not as familiar with each and every player as you seem to be but in later posts you acknowledge the ability and toughness of the GPS forwards unit, so my comments were to ask why there...

So Rugby Spirit has 9 Easts boys in his city squad and Gary Owens has 7 in his XV. If you both know the age group so well, you will know that the Easts side has been well beaten by Riverside and Nerang, narrowly defeated Souths and beat GPS by 1 point. Why do you think Easts will dominate the...

What kid at 13 has the "name"? These carnivals give the opportunity to make a name hopefully, whether you are number 7 or number 17

Wow, thanks for clearing that up for everyone. It really is outstanding that there are people involved in junior rugby that are so passionate and willing to spend valuable time to make a clearly well articulated point in response to a perception that was not sourced. Thank you and well done. I...

So are Riverside

Riverside clearly recruited from Brothers and Sunnybank. Gone from a team that was beaten in one game last year by 71-0 to an alleged powerhouse. But once the strong teams work out those 3 players, they'll be vulnerable. Brothers forfeited today and game not played last week (??) so hardly a...
