I imagine that the runners boys will not be allowed to play for club tomorrow... Seems very interesting to deplete club teams for a week, Vikings and Eagles would be affected most, don’t imagine their coaches being too happy. I’d think they’ll pick a few more royals boys as it’s their bye?
I’m going to disagree... my tips
Queanbeyan by 6, Uni lack firepower in the backs
Gungahlin by 35, form and momentum from last week will carry on
Vikings by less than 7, Vikings are always formidable but a few brumbies out, presuming a young looking forward pack against Wests who will have a...
Two massive games to kick off round 1 with Vikings hosting the always hyped up Eagles and The Whites hosting Royals! Gonna be two great games and I see the two grand finalists picking up on last year’s form and taking the win in respective matches.
I do agree to a certain extent, however, Eastern Suburbs were relatively full strength with even Mack Mason and McCauley coming back to play from the night before. Where as Royals were without 4 brumby runners players, Pedro and also Penders. So 6 genuine top end first grade players. Take into...
Quick write up on brumbies

Semi Finals this weekend, still very quiet on this forum
Eddies vs Dara looks to be a close one!! I'm picking edifices just...
And Grammar vs Marist, look to see my Grammar lads finally play to their potential and upset Marist
Extremely a quiet on the forum, even regarding the amazing win by the ACT boys at Nationals, or about the selections of the Australian teams!
Very interesting to see Daramalan and Grammar tussle on Friday night, with Dara coming up trumps 24-20 even with 14 boys (red card 20mins in), my grammar...
Grammar defeated Vikings yesterday 26-7, both pretty much playing without their ACT players!
Unsure about the Marist vs Dara game, I expect it was close?
Got out to watch my Grammar team to play and saw them get completely outclassed and outeverythinged by a strong Daramalan outfit, that comprehensively smoked them 37-0!! After a solid outting from all reports against Marist and to this, I'm Gobsmacked!
Heard on the grapevine that Eddies...
Alright no need to throw wild accusations!!
War Chest is trying to say that the initial schoolboys cut there were more eddies boys than Marist or Grammar which in fact shouldn't have been the case due to the results between the 3 schools. Now I'm sure the selectors have a clear thought process...
Went out to support Grammar against St Eddies match, and boy was I impressed by the team in ugly jerseys! Extremely physical Grammar side that dominated Eddies 21-7! Numbers 2 and 13 stood out for me but I tell you what, Marist should be quivering in their boots for next week's battle!
In other...
Marist pretty convincingly beat St Edmunds yesterday 25-7, from the sideline Marist dominated Eddies physically.
And I heard Daramalan defeated Vikings 17-7
Agreed!
Let's not harp on about this anymore.
First Round I believe is Eddies vs Vikings and Marist vs Dara.
Any gossip surrounding teams or predictions
Grammar went on a Sydney trip and I was told played great football losing to Kings 18-3 and Shore 38-31!
Closer to home I was told Marist beat Barker 16-13 and Eddies losing 31-24! Very tight year coming up!
Another year and another season for schoolboy footy in the capital!
What are everyone's tips, teams and predictions for the season ahead regarding the competition and Nationals?
Only 5 teams this year?
Grammar are my favourites even with a touch of bias!
