Thanks for organising the competition FairPlay. Thoroughly enjoyed this years competition

Yes. But can he kick like Annan. He has a get out of jail boot on him that I wish the wallabies had. Thats what I want from a fullback most of all.

Well said -he destroyed us downwind at shark tank. What a great year for the yooung man -he also captained BBC 1st xi to a cricket premiership.
Very few would have won cricket & rugby in the same year

So the real question is can BBC go back to back. 2,4,6,7,8,9,12,14,and 15 should all be back for a second go. Any one else have any info from boys returning next year from the different schools?I also hear that rob number 12 for nudgee will be leaving at the end of year? Any truth to that nudgee fans? What a shame I thought he was ruthless for a 16 year old.

My understanding is that Sydney Roosters want Robert to do a Ponga(and leave)
but the boy & parents will do a Howath .

That’s an interesting list. Have the CM down a crosscode list like this before?

It would be wonderful to see Romano at flyhalf ( yes, I know that is not how this works). I could see Fifita at six and Hough in the centers.
Taj at 8, why not.

Not sure if Gordon and Howarth are smart and good looking enough to play in the front row though.

If we were picking an Under 18 Academy side for QLD this year, it would make for impressive viewing. Without mentioning any 18 year old colts, who makes your team from school leavers? Ill have a crack at a side. I have left out Jack Howarth due to his league contract.

[fairplay]

Just when I thought I was out for the season.... you pull me back in. Taj at FB. He kicks better than the wallabies

 

[BraveandGame]

I understand there are some Junior Gold Cup/ Queensland RU Academy games going on at the moment - anyone got team lists for the three selected teams?? I cant seem to find them linked anywhere.

There were some teams selected and games played in the first week of the sep school holidays. 2 days training in their teams then a day where they all played each other. There was a U15 group and a U 16 group

Has BBC announced who the coaches are for 2021?
Does anyone know of any other coaching movements?

No in typical BBC fashion -they are doing a review.
A review of what-they won !
