Well said. It should be more about development than combinations and win at all coasts (er, I mean costs). Nerang in u13 is virtually a hand picked super team and yet there is "apparently" disharmony because the GCJRU selectors have done the right thing and spread out the talent! I can...

A pretty good summary of the teams. Riverside has led the way in the BJRU u13 comp until their hiccup against Souths. Souths then got pipped by Ashgrove GPS today emphasising the evenness of the comp. The teams with boys at GPS schools in their sides will be backing up from Saturday school games...

Yes, agree about the importation impacts at NC. Would love to see how Nudgee go without imports......actually, last year I did see it when they were beaten by Ashgrove's 7As (Allan Ala'alatoa) by 60 or 70 points. This Ashgrove team had lost every game in their CIC season but finished with a game against Nudgee...

No, JR2 is quite accurate in his assessment of the difference in the 2 sides. That winger was everywhere! His defence shut down many Ashgrove threats and his athleticism to score 2 tries was outstanding. Apparently, it is his first year of rugby, which is hard to believe given his technique at...

And these teams would beat the GPS scholarship laden equivalents

Well said. Preparation is key

Is this jersey for the Soccer World Cup? Don't tell me they want Ben Robinson to play rugby in it?

I could not agree more re referee. Rugby is not far from being the most attractive winter code going if we can find a way to get a message to referees. Please don't feel compelled to whistle each and every breakdown. Try and have as your objective when you run into the field to referee an open...

No mate, not an Iona supporter at all. Didn't see Padua game but just thought today the Ashgrove boys decided once they had scored a few tries that it was more important to impress the AIC selectors as individuals than play as a team. Why would you kick possession away when you're up by 30 or...

Forwards were good. 9 and 10 for MCA were not throwing First XV standard passes. Just put it in front of your outside men and you'll look much better. The 10 is a beautiful runner but is clearly a Leaguie who props before passing. Wasn't helped by some passes at his ankles from 9.

Outstanding? I'm not sure you could call today's game anything but boring. Ashgrove were playing a clearly inferior team, had scored 5 easy tries by half time with only one conversion and then the second half was so boring, most people left to go and watch Premier Grade at GPS. Marist were not...

Agree with you re start times for First XV. With grades 5-8 playing away and some games not finishing until 1pm, there is no opportunity for these boys to watch their heroes. Also commercially for the schools and canteens, must be a big revenue hit. Who made this decision???

One out of four tips. Nice one mate
