Thats why McKenzie with his electrifying pace and stepping will NEVER be picked to start for AB's ahead of the tall timbers. KEY criteria of a fullback: You must be able to defend(llod) and secure the high balls. McKenzie is a generous 1.75cm. Incumbents for AB's : Ben Smith (1.86m) Jordie...

Ive put Gideon from BSH as my #13.Scored a powerrun try. Hes a big strong ball runner and held his own against TSS. Hes 16 and much potential to develop.

S-L-V pull your head in mate. WHo said anything about being fair? This is rugby, it is always filled with controversy and politics. It is what it is. All I was saying is, I was down at the Nationals and I witness players performances. I still believe Qld has a greater chance of filling the...

For Troysnowden and Dble take commentators. This is GT lock #5 Harry Wilson.NOT James Stocker. This is Ethan Bullemor #6 NOT MANU

NSW players overall are very fortunate they made schoolboys and baa baas recently announced. Qld gps has just started their season proper and 3 of the remaining spots for schoolboys will be from Qld based on the rnd one I just saw. ACT will fill the other 2.

"Harry Wilson stood out for you? I'm in no doubt he's an excellent player, but I didn't think he was great against NC. I thought Cayle Manu (NC #4) outplayed him". TS I'm not sure if you know who HW is or look like? Dble Take commenatators absolutely 'stuffed' up a number of the players names...

If I was to have a go at a Team of the week (ToW) it would look like this. 1. Egan Siggs (TSS) 2. Zane Nonggorr(TSS) 3. Moses-Alo Emile(BSHS) 4. Trevor Hosea(BBC) 5. Harry Wilson (GT) 6. Alex Shmidt(BSHS) 7. Tom Kimble(BBC) 8. Ngamanu (BBC) 9.Kirk(GT) 10. Carter (BBC) 11. Jangala Bennett(NC)...

YES KING. I thought it was a stroke of genious by the coach and an act of amazing courage and maturity by the young man.Never played there before and just switched in the pre-season but its his very first game at #6. Keep an eye out for young AS :) . The next Pocock in the making(switching from...

I was curious to hear any feedback on the performance of the recently selected Aust schoolboys and barbarian players from QLD. Heres my thoughts on the TSS vs BSHS game matchups. 1.#3Moses Alo-Emile vs 1# Egan Siggs(both Barbarians) . I thought this was a great battle and both deserved their...

Great shots from TSS vs BSHS HJ Nelson !! I would add Alex Shmidt BSHS #6 to your list LB. I think BSHs vs TSS was a game of 2 halves. I think overall TSS had a bit more depth along with the home advantage, but "credit to BSHS they sure gave us a fright"(TSS coach). TSS will be top 3. BSHS will...

GM !! Our gps season proper kicks off today. I can imagine a sleepless night for a few of the boys and perhaps some anxious parents. Good luck to all of you privileged to play 1st XV rugby for your school. In particular, I wish all those boys running on for the very first time and fulfilling a...

CONGRATULATIONS to a number of Qld schoolboys debuting tonight for the REDS and REBELS: 1. Jayden Ngamanu (BBC 2015) 2. Reece Hewat (NC 2015) 3. Semisi Tupou (NC 2016) Please pay close attention to Semisi Tupou. The 18 year old did not make Australian schoolboys in 2016. Instead of complaining...

The way the modern game is played with the rule changes has meant more versatility is better than just a specialist role. This is particularly true with the backs. The 10-15 at international level have chopped and changed often then any other time in the modern history of the game. Imo, this is...

Wow, it is that time of the year when the punters and the bookies "show their hand" too early as they did last year. All the talk was about a 2 horse race between BBC & Nudgee with TSS being the dark horse. But, . . what the hell, heres my pencilled in predictions: 1.TSS vs BSHS >BSHS by 2points...

From what I saw of him in Sydney last week, I can understand his versatility to play a back 3 role. But with a wicked step off both feet, and the most explosive off the mark acceleration, he would be destructive thru the middle catching tired forwards running off inside balls outside the 12 or...

Would have loved to see Jangala Bennett play fullback. Might be wasted out on the wing (mho).

This is the "cross roads" for these young schoolboys leaving school. The pathway for them is finding a good colts program that can hone their rugby potential as recognised thru : gps, qld and the highest honour of representing your country at National schoolboys. Wests is very enticing. McNamara...

FYI : Here are some interesting facts from the recent Lions tour in NZ. It appears size does matter with the exception of a half back. WHO HAS THE SIZE FACTOR? Lions - weight Average weight: 105.25kg All Blacks average weight: 103.82kg All Blacks - height Average height: 188.12cm Lions...
