BGS V TSS
Brisbane Grammar I am a fan, and you were gallant against Churchie, even ignoring they had one of their best sent off. I am afraid there is no way out of this, TSS made a mincemeat of TGS in the Shark Tank, and they embarrassed everyone at TGS, including me who tipped a long shot upset…. dumb. TSS is playing some unbelievable rugby, Parata was a Maestro. Now I know this is difficult to believe but I have watched and re-watched the tapes, and Cambell Parata the TSS fly-half was so in control of the game, that I am pretty sure at one stage he was making the lineout calls. I know that might not be a massive surprise to some perhaps a little unorthodox at best, however, hear me out, he was making them for the Toowoomba boys and they were listening. (The throw wasn’t straight but never the less he was still calling them) .I am pretty sure he also had a chat with them at halftime as well. Brisbane Grammar I am sorry, another rugby lesson on the way. Boys don’t worry Parata will more than likely head into the change rooms and have a chat to you before the game about how he wants you to play it. TSS by 40
TGS v Nudgee
By Christ, the Farmers haven’t been flogged like that since Pa caught them kissing their cousin behind the hayshed. Even then he stopped hitting when they started crying, TSS didn’t give them that luxury, they just started hitting harder. Anyway, they were sent home licking some big wounds and now they must front up against the 2018 Premiership sure things, Nudgee. The Nudgee train is rolling and as I have said all along they are playing some terrific rugby and they have the spirit, the passion and the purpose to win this thing. As far as I can tell they will be pretty much full strength. Nudgee was again spectacular against Ipswich playing some champagne rugby against a bourbon and coke defense. Ipswich showed elements, however, Nudgee seemed well prepared and had seemingly studied any potential threats in the Swich backs. Nudgee would have studied TGS over the past week. TSS did a terrific job nullifying TGS’s danger move, which is to run the rampant Brahman Bull (big fan) in the backs through the center channel. Boys, I know thinking isn’t a favorite past time but you have to come up with some new stuff quick cause even the guy telling everyone where to park at TSS on Saturday knew that move was coming. Anyway, Farmers you have two options before Saturday, come up with something fresh, or go back behind the hayshed and grab a big handful of your cousin and make the most of it while you can because another flogging is on the way.

Ipswich v BBC
Swich boys you are out of the fire and into the frying pan I am afraid. I know Nudgee wasn’t much fun last week but BBC isn’t going to be much better. The BBC seconds apparently gave the Downlands boys a rugby lesson on the weekend, and the 1st’s are going to do the same to Ipswich. I like some of the footy ‘the swich” is trying to play, but I am afraid it just won’t be good enough. So, I expect that when the BBC parents make their biannual God forsaken trip to Ipswich playing fields this weekend that they will be feeling somewhat buoyant about their chances, the only thing that BBC will be worried about this Saturday afternoon is the risk of getting carjacked on the way home.

Churchie v Terrace
Churchie vs Terrace, so the rich proto’s against the rich micks, basically, a decider as to whose God is better. Ironically the Catholic version of God is a little more judgey, less forgiving, and happy to rain down punishment and ridicule mercilessly on anyone that might think a little differently. Sounds much more like that God would be more suited to a Churchie Mum than a Terrace Mum. Anyway, this is game is the rich Christian only version of the Crusades. Churchie dealt easily with BGS and I expect that whilst this game will be closer than that I do think that Terrace just won't be quite good enough for the Vikings. Churchie by 8.
