Obviously this is a tgs supporter, and i do believe it was 3 players being, the #12 Ethan Page, #11 Mitchell Michael and #2 Yohan Koorts. Injuries during the game were a cause, but considering they had 3 B players playing for the A's. Also the ref was a big help for tgs allowing 2 tries where their had been a previous knock on. IGS forwards demolished TGS, let down for IGS was the back-line where nearly every try was scored.
Obviously you are an Ipswich supporter and guess what you lost stop making excuses the ref was equally bad both ways. End of discussion.
Common guys,
Yes agreed, I've watched him against BGS and now TSS, and he hasn't shown anything to be impressive enough to be called into the Aus squad. Particularly considering that he has essentially been a direct replacement for Jack Cornelson of BGS, who has been very impressive in the game that I have watched previously this season. The video of the tries shows him making some great runs against BBC on Sat
The state high rugby programme went off the rails after Noon and Eagles retired from coaching in 2010. They had the cattle last year to win the comp but nothing seemed to jell. The new coaches seemed to generate a lot of negativity no doubt resulting from inexperience having not ever coached at first XV level. This year has been an unmitigated disaster. More of the same negativity but no cattle. The forwards hold their own (just) but they concede 50 points a game through the back three. Defence is about attitude which appears to be sadly lacking with state high this year especially out wide. They are playing small grade 11 players at full back and at least one wing who are easy targets. They just can't or won't tackle. There have also ben some player management issues. Ben Roy Sala (prop) was confined to the 16A's last year and told there wasn't much interest in him playing first XV this year. He packed up camp and went to BBC where he has been playing the house down. The 16A's #10 from last year Jack Martin was given similar info. He hung around but ended up playing starting #10 for Prem Colts at Brothers. They re called him for 2 games but has not been seen since. Word is he is back at Brothers. Unfortunately it appears state high will get the wooden spoon. So disillusioned with the way things are going a few key players in the 14's and 15's have left for other GPS schools. Whist state high offer merit entry in grade 8 for rugby players this also has to be done in grade 10 and 11. The problem is there are no longer unlimited places in the school for rugby . It is now up to the headmaster. He needs to take a leaf out of BGS book who needed to be belted 103-nil in 2009 to make changes. State high need to get professional coaches and directors of rugby (ie Noon and Eagle). Talented rugby players won't go to a school where the coaching is substandard. They also have to make room for at least 5-6 players each year in grade 10 and 11. The key to a good rugby programme is the success of the first XV. Build it and they will come.
Sorry champ but im a nudgee oldboy. TGS were the better team on the day dont get me wrong, but seeing both teams at thier best IGS would easily have to be the better team.
Sorry, but you should not make these comments after watching this kid in 2 games. Your points are not true or fair and deny the idea of this forum. For your defence I agree that BGS and TSS supporters may feel disappointed that their players were not selected and a kid from the worst team in comp got in. This kid has been performing extremely well this season (you should make an effort to see all comments on this forum re; all BSHS games, he played with number 8 so you should easily find this). He wasnt that good against TSS I agree but how would you feel every saturday to see your full of holes backline badly exposed. So if you have any other negative comments to make re: Korczyk give me real examples. Not this biased stuff.
Its hard to look good when you are playing in a very amateur team..
Yeah i also heard there was a prop 10 minutes in the sinbin or something for the end of the game? apparently the offense was pretty blatant though...
