QLD GPS Rugby 2017

[Garry Owens]

I see the BBC 15 As put 60 on GT as they did on a few other teams.Surely the most dominant under 15 team in history of GPS and I saw the undefeated ACGS team of 2012 and the BBC team of 2013 and all those undefeated NC 15 A teams in mid 2000s .But they were not racking up 50 points week in week out.
Does that relate to a good 1st xv team in 2019? yes.
But the big problem that all schools will face (as we have seen over last 5 years) is that most of of the undefeated TSS 16 A team(and quite few at NC) are grade 10-so like this year, in 2019 you will have very good 17 year olds playing good 18 year olds and in the last 10 minutes it will show.
But hey-one hell of a season by them.

That's very gracious of you Bluey

Beyond just an A's love fest I would like to point out :

1. An undefeated season for the 15D's
2. 2nd place for 15C
3. 3rd place for 15B
4. An F team in the age group .....probably the first time in the history of BBC Rugby where an F team was formed.

There are at least half the B's team that are more than capable of playing A Rugby and same down the line re C to B and D to C

This didn't just miraculously happen in 1 x season ..........the seeds of this , in not only this age group , but others were planted 2 to 3 years ago. It takes a lot of work from a lot of good people

Top line talent is awesome to have, and we all know you don't win without it , but you also don't win without depth and participation - from which comes culture (which Nudgee knows well)

Rhys V hit was on GT hooker and was penalised for a high tackle.

Not that tackle - the later one / " no effort to use the arms ". Said Ref

Jordan P (BSHS #15) should definitely be the fullback for the GPS team of the season over Jangala B (NC #15). Jordan is a slightly better ball carrier but he is much stronger in the defence sector.

Bennet started on the wing and only moved to fullback because of injury so you could put him on the wing

Didnt they just send 2 number 13s to the Australian team?

 

[TheKing]

I've got my team finished, just constructing a little video to showcase it.

It was a tough year to select. Some positions, like wing, hooker and #13, had very little depth despite those being among the most well-stocked in previous seasons.

Though I hate to do it, I've picked a few guys out of position to make sure the Team of the Season rewards the most excellent players as possible.

 

[Dark Shark]

After seeing every team play at least once this season and most teams another four or five times on the DoubleTake televised games (except BGS and TGS), the following is, in my opinion, the form team of the season.

I thought that some of the big names lost form, made too many mistakes and or were not consistent enough across the whole season to make my selection. Players like Small (NC) and Ngamanu (BBC) were not playing in their usual positions and while playing very well probably struggled to have the same impact in their new positions as they would have in their regular position. Soli (NC) played about five minutes of the season.

Some players from TSS were unlucky not to be picked as I did not want the team to be too TSS centric. In other cases, when I thought it was close between two players, I relied on my thoughts of the head to head battle between the contesting players. As one or two have mentioned, I probably struggled the most with selecting an Out Centre. In my mind, there were no absolute stand outs this year in that position.

So here goes my GPS TEAM OF THE SEASON.

1 Egan Siggs (TSS)
2 Tyrell Kopua (TSS)
3 Rhys Van Nek (BBC)
4 Tom Van Der Schyff (TSS)
5 Trevor Hosea (BBC)
6 Ethan Bullemor (NC)
7 Cam Howard (GT)
8 Joe Faulalo (IGS)
9 Will Kirk (GT)
10 Campbell Parata (TSS)
11 Villami Lea (IGS)
12 Noah Lolesio (TSS)

14 Jangala Bennett (NC)
15 Jordan Petaia (BSHS)

It might just be age or too many head knocks and a little bit pedantic but didn't Banks do Senior 2012?

You are correct.That was the the year Banks (Qld 1) Fakolosila (Aussie Schools) and Quick (Qld1 ) played a total of 3- 1st xv matches between them.
Good to see things have improved (not)

Just on the injury front to rep players, is Hosea ok after his concussion on Saturday? Out of the three head knocks sustained by players in the game at Tennyson his looked the worse.

 

[Gungenia]

Bad

Hosea-Bad head knock that one- 2 weeks out but will be right for Aussie Schools.
Ngamanu ruled out of Aussie A .
