Round 5 Overview: ACGS V TSS The neat as a pin, always smiling, but quietly fuming Churchie crowd will be rooting for an upset here. Once again they seem to be writing a few rugby cheques that their bodies can't cash. It'll be no different on Saturday, as TSS win the breakdown and send the...

I agree it will be a great game. Mason is playing well and he has two of the best attacking backs in the comp outside of him. His halfback also provides some nice service. However, the Churchie loosies are not quick enough to the breakdown and despite some good yardage being made in the backs...

NC will play pick and drive and ball control and will do it well. They will also defend tightly either side of the ruck. I really question the strength of the BSHS defensive line. They will want to ensure they defend well on the fringes and with some real line speed because they can expect...

I picked GT as the banana skin for a few contenders last week, so I can see where you are coming from with that call. Having seen NC, BBC and TSS play in recent weeks it is hard to see that GT team having the strength across the park to beat one of them. BBC also have Wilkins back this week...

Thanks for that - didn't know we were on the Weather Channel Forum...but useful info none the less - might head to the beach on Sunday...

Digby, I think you have to go with the coaches call. If the McLean lad is not contributing the way the coach wants - then he has to be left out. From what I hear that exact team played a lot better last week than the team that played against NC the week before. Makes perfect sense to me to...

Righto punters and supporters it's Thursday. Time for some intel and some ins and outs. ACGS - the new recruit that has caused so much hooha on here - will play against BBC. BBC - wil play their strongest backline despite what some are saying NC - Lutzy is back at OC TSS - will be close to...

You're pretty close there I think....except BSHS will win. BBC V ACGS is a flip of the coin

It's hotting up on here and that can only mean one thing. This round is the real deal. It will decide who are the contenders and who are the pretenders. The shame of it it all is we can only see one game in this round, not all of them. TSS V NC The Nudge will either loose it completely or...

Light it's too early in the week to be making picks in this competition I think. 90% of so called tipsters got burnt last week including myself! BGS let me down badly, but credit to the T-Ba boys for bouncing back from a couple of touch ups. IGS couldn't do it at home, which is a real worry...

NC V ACGS - NC by 7. By all reports they only just beat BBC and are down their best outside back. It will be close - the old timber grandstand and it's excitable inhabitants will be the difference. BBC V BSHS - BBC by 8. The Toowong-ites will be pumped for their first home game. Should be enough...

How do they justify that? The rules are clear. He can't play at all in First XV this season. Are you sure? No surprises on the school if it is true...

TSS V IGS - TSS by 9 NC V BBC - NC by 3 ACGS V TGS - ACGS by 14 BSHS V BGS - BGS by 10

I'm pretty sure enrollments at IGS have been down over the last few years. That will be the main reason for age groups bottoming out at the B's. State High and IGS not fielding C and D grade is sad and the GPS should really look at this and see what can be done to assist these schools. BGS...

Agree - looks like a pretty straight forward round. With the exception of the game up on the range. Have not seen anything of TGS and it will depend on exactly what team BBC put on the park. This could go either way by at least 15 points. TSS look the goods and should do GT by 20. NC might get a...

You might be right on BGS and BBC Shark. I just thought with BGS knowing how to win again and with quality coaching they could pull some wins out. And BBC with some classy backs - they will threaten most teams at times and if they can build pressure and win a bit of ball who knows...

Wilreason that's a long bow to draw I think. Those games aren't thumpings and you might find that NSW might have a bit more talent pumping out than us, but nothing major. You'll also find that our lads haven't started the season yet and NSW well and truly have. Match fitness makes a huge...

Apparently there are quite a few are not on scholarship. But why would you be questioning one school's scholarship count and not another schools anyway? I played late eighties and at least 3 or 4 schools had imports and scholarship players back then. This is nothing new and it seems the...

So at this stage of the pre-season, from our "expert" posters it seems there are 3 tiers of premiership hopefuls: Tier 1: TSS NC BSHS Tier 2: ACGS BBC IGS Tier 3: BGS GT TGS

I didn't think Josh Bowyer played for BBC on Saturday?? Previous posters say he was unavailable for the trial...so who was at 10? anyone?
