Jets is there an opportunity to jump on board and join the other tipsters from Round 2 ?

I think Walker is out for the next 3 weeks. Ipswich have BGS , TGS and then Nudgee over that period

I thought Lastus was outstanding and Nudgee’s best on ground. If there was such a thing as Team of the Week that Double Take did, them based on what I saw surely he gets the nod. There is something Kerevi like about this one. By the way, if Ipswich can get a reasonable share of ball they are...

How good was the TSS scrum ? George Blake especially.

TSS by 5 Churchie by 12 Toowoomba by 2 Ipswich by 20

Your comment about Terrace can't be right. Didn't they have 8 representatives in Queensland U16's just last year and then also an Australian Schoolboy representative who is back again ? I have them in the top couple of teams.

I wonder what Pasitoa and Gordon camps are thinking about their deals right now ?

Bloody oath. The Nudgee touchy student that put his flag up in error was beaten and whipped with it after the game. Right before he was expelled

Interesting weekend coming up at TSS. TSS/GT/BSHS NC/BBC/IGS BGS/ACGS/TGS

So how'd the preseason prep go for the State School boys and the Regional boys ? What hardened competition and prep did they have that made them ready to go in March that the GPS boys didn't , a decent number of whom I might add from most Schools were doing Club Academy or Colts Preseason stuff...

Why does it need to be mutually exclusive ? Could the talent out of regional teams not be properly identified if the Brisbane regional teams , and South Coast and Downs were properly represented ? Does the existence of GPS players in this channel somehow create an inability for a regional player...

Not true. An overwhelming percentage of boys in Firsts Squads at GPS Schools have been training through the summer albeit not necessarily in an organised squad sense but individually preparing nonetheless . In rough terms around 100 boys were denied opportunity to participate and I would suggest...

Of course. I was never extolling any virtue there. No, I don't want to go back to the Amateur era. Clearly that is not possible. But I do believe in niche where small can be the new big . Yes there is competition for eyes on screens and bums on seats. But we're losing at the moment in what we...

Not knocking the boys who won last Saturday Night but what is that ? One win in 7 years. The "pathway" hasn't worked and there is zero justification to continue to segment and bolster it in financial sense and a glib sales sense to convince stakeholders of its merits,other than to keep self...

So the theory would suggest Nomad. But practically, in Queensland, unless you were part of the show last year as a 17 year old that had their Schoolboy opportunity , or , 1 of 15 or so pre-ordained current 17 year old Academy participants you don't exist. Oldschool hit the nail on the head ...

The disgrace in all of this is that there are GPS schools that have signed off on their League aligned students playing State Championships through QSSS. This causes absence and some disruption to preseason activity for open squads. Meanwhile , Rugby students who would have participated in the...

And your original reply to Nomad ( post #198 ) is not correct Jets . The fact is if you are not one of an approximately 15 to 18 school based 17 to 18 year olds in the U18 Reds Academy , in Queensland , you are not eligible for selection to anything. There has been an approximate reduction of 80...

Technically true for overladen labelling purposes. Prior points remain as they are when looking at the dysfunctional fuck up that is the QLD situation and that the QSS shouldn’t really bear the responsibility for. Maybe they underestimated the head in the arse position of the absentee schools...

Thanks Jets. Sort of reaffirms my point earlier , that , for the sake of clarity , the ASRU should just name their teams : 1. Australian Schoolboys 2. Australian Barbarians And that RA should just name their show : 1. Australia U18 And yes , RA's Australia U18 may well select players...

Meaning Academy boys and non Academy boys alike , who are still at School, from NSW , ACT and Victoria and are properly aligned , will effectively have two bites of the cherry This is not the case in QLD where a reduction in participation and opportunity is the net outcome. It’s just a little...
