I'm pretty sure this years BBC senior class played uncontested scrums through U16 and failed to make an A/B program every year along the way. Take into consideration their ordinary performance last year and the handbrake put on sporting scholarships three years ago, it's hard to make an argument...
GT v IGS - Terrace trying something different this week by playing the seconds backline. Next week the forwards are backs and the backs are forwards so everyone gets to try each position - IGS by 10
TGS v BBC - MOTR for mine. BBC are sneaking up on another win and will give it their all against...
Yeah, but any team that rolls one against Nudgee end up having their run pulled down by the NC 4 & 5. The refs need to wake up to this and dish out more yellows. In fact, they should start this week with only 13 players due to many previous infringements.
GT boys are playing for pride now and their positions. If the backline leak points again there has to be changes. GT to win by 10.
This Churchie team was over-hyped this week following their win over NC. TSS will sense a real opportunity to share a premiership today. TSS by 7.
Although...
TGS v TSS - The Gold Coast lads will be shown too many gold cards by the ref TGS by 3
BGS v GT - MOTR. Archie Xavier will carve up through the middle. GT by 10. Munn v McCauley will be an epic battle
NC v ACGS - Not sure what you guys have been watching, Churchie were lucky against GT and...
GT going in at full strength today according to the team listed on Rugby Xplorer. Likewise the BGS team named looks like their best XV so will be a real indicator for how both teams will fare this year.
No Wombat, I wasn’t there on the day but have reviewed the footage. My main point in the previous post was that most of the penalties were warranted. The jibe at the league boys is probably misguided but, as an outsider looking in, TSS tackling style is more akin to what we’d expect on the rugby...
Four yellows were for high tackles, three of those were coat hangers of which one was under the posts and resulted in the first penalty try. The second penalty try was their second rower coming in from the side on a rolling maul and tackling the ball carrier as he approached the try line. All...
Absolutely agree with your assessment of GT. I couldn’t understand the early hype around them on this forum. They’re by far the smallest forward pack in the comp and have a backline that is ordinary in defence and haven’t made any meters in attack since the Vaihu brothers played. NC on the other...
Word out of the cross country champs this week is that BBC & GT have quite a few key position players injured. Real shortage of props in both schools and will be trialling uncontested and both will be predominantly made up of 16 year olds in the hope of re-building for next year. I agree with...
