When I worked in London there was the "Sydney Flu" going around and if I'm not mistaken, the Spanish Flu, the Zika Flu, the Ebola Virus were also named after the region where it eminated from. Onya Hillary.
July 18 unless it gets canned .So when does the gps season start? Is it definitely happening?
Interesting comments above re "The Season". I watched both the Nudgee and the BBC series and I thought they were both outstanding and provided very interesting insights into the two schools. They had very different narratives but I enjoyed them both, particularly the cultural and historical backdrops to each school's rugby programme. I must admit I got goosebumps watching the BBC series during the scene where BBC were heading onto Ross from the changing room to close out a very successful season. As a Nudgee old boy, it was great to see the perspective from another great rugby school coming onto Ross. Well done to BBC and to the producers of the documentary. I would also be very keen to see one done on TSS.
The season ahead.wow.Nudgee and TSS Rd 2 on Ross.this will be a great occasion and I really hope the social distancing measures allow a crowd at this game. Nudgee and BBC at Miskin in the last round could also be a cracking event for Brisbane grass roots rugby depending on how the season plays out. Plenty of other interesting match ups also lined up for the season and i wouldn't mind seeing another school do well such as Churchie or Toowoomba who both had very good teams last year.
I really don't know much about the teams this year but I can't wait for the season to kick off!
Except the Spanish flu didn't originate in Spain
I just back form self iso and watch the Season on BBC on YouTube. It has reach a big audience globally and the comment on YouTube have been very very positive. Well done to all the boy last year on a tough competition. Those TSS and NC game were pure theater and while there could only be one winner, all player and coach deserve to be congratulated.
Hoping 2020 is another tough contest and GT can get them self up each week.
Who are we feeling are the competition darkhorses?
Could be a lottery with such a short preparation time and Fitness combinations and selections will be a big issue. Will be very interesting to see which individuals showed the most disciple to train alone. A few big lads may well struggle to get selected for firsts in the early rounds.Who are we feeling are the competition darkhorses?
The boarding house at Nudgee has been shut down during the virus issue and the interstate boarders are still not allowed back for awhile yet. Additionally, the international students are not allowed back into the country at all and will not be available during the season, so they will lose a lot of their depth and onsite advantage. I suspect the same for TSS.

Oh my lord. What a problem we have this year and rugby in general.I am in shock..
As you all know:
-rugby,football,basketball & tennis are all to be played term 3.
-some schools want the 1st 3 rounds of rugby cancelled to enable "front row passports " to be obtained ;
-boys had to nominate which sport they will play.
I am in total shock at the number of football teams & the lack of rugby teams.
Some schools have 32 football teams and 9 rugby teams.
Figures came out yesterday.
