Had the week off last week because I was just doing final interviews for the Reds job. Obviously Nick Stiles walked into the interview panel with a fatter envelope than I did. But I'm not bitter, he has got the results on the board, just look at this season!
BGS Vs Churchie
Battle of the car park here. The final European car count from each school at kick off of the first XV game will in fact be used as a tie break in the instance of a drawn game at the end of the 70 minutes. Which is actually highly likely as both teams have struggled equally in the comp to date. Churchie mums were particularly annoyed at leaving Tennyson without a win last Saturday and that wasn't just because there was an RID on Vivian Street, those nasty Terrace mums wouldn't give them a Chardy after the game in the tuckshop either. They will be equally pissed off this week as the Grammarians edge ahead via the car count and and in my opinion the best loose forward in the comp.

TSS Vs BBC
Old Boys day at Southport on Saturday and what a great way to rain on the parade of BBC's first premiership since the Model T Ford won Wheels Car of the Year. Real Estate agents will be empty all over the coast as the Old Boys flood the Village Green in a sea of Chambray and white powder to watch the TSS steam roller hit top gear. But this will be closer than Alan Jones giving a post match gee up to the Wallabies in the shower after a test match in the eighties. Uncomfortably close in fact. Some tall timber in the BBC pack and some patience not seen at Miskin Street since forever might just get them home.

TGS Vs BSHS
TGS the home of the worst hair cuts in the comp vs State High the other home of the worst hair cuts in the comp. Bowl cuts vs Rats Tails. none of it's good. The State High bus has in fact driven off the range on the way up before and in previous years this has helped Toowoomba chalk up a win and ensure most cars in the car park aren't a victim of grand theft auto. However, this year I think Toowoomba will get the ref for this game up on Friday night and marry him to a long lost cousin of the headmaster and strap a steer to the roof his Camry. That should be enough to ensure a positive penalty count and ultimately for them to come away with a win.

Ipswich Vs Terrace
This game will be a bit like watching the GPS U10's play the Sunnybank U16's. The Ippy forward pack will clean out the burger supply at the BBQ by about 9.30am. But thankfully The Commando and that annoying Personal Trainer woman will do the pre-game warm up for them. This should be enough for Ippys 500 kg weight advantage to ramp up momentum as the Terrace lads actually get blown off the main oval by a stiff southerly 10 minutes from full time.
