GO , Will Roche was named at 7 on the programme and was introduced as captain and number 7 as GT ran on ; I can't vouch it was him.
I'm sorry the stream was so poor as the game (live) was a beauty. Makes one wonder how GT (and BGS - who I watched play TSS) have won only one game - they are both better than that.

He definitely didn’t play.

The hats were annoying.
Cameraman and commentators need to be higher up.
Could not see three tries because of students standing in front.
Please fix asap.
Thanks

Can second that , Charlie Condon played 7 for GT and had a great game .

Not sure about Zac , but he had a head knock against GT just before half time a couple of weeks ago and didn’t return for the second half. Not sure if he played last week ?

Pretty sure Will Chaffy has withdrawn from the Aussie Schools squad due to injury , his name is not in either team list released last Tuesday and the schools’ website made a special mention that one player had withdrawn due to injury.

Injuries unfortunately part of playing a contact sport , wishing all a speedy recovery and the rest to stay healthy .

Terrace’s defense yesterday was horrendous . TSS never really looked like they could be arsed getting out of 2nd gear - they need to be careful as they have a habit of coasting / disrespecting what they deem as lesser quality opponents

But what ? 28 points given up in the last 15 minutes to flatter the scoreline ?

It’s great that Terrace either through necessity or choice are running a cast of thousands - but seriously - this team has more leaks in it than the Liberal party room

Only a few points worse than BBC the week before . At least it looked close for a bit and the boys had a crack , didn’t get the job done , but nobody gave them a snow flakes chance in hell of getting close .

Very young team , only 6 of the boys who ran out yesterday are in year 12 and only one who is 18 this year. Playing without an experienced 10 and that shows , but they will get better .

None of the changes to the starting team are due to choice , surely a BBC supporter would understand how that feels ?

Tit ,

My criticism of Terrace’s matador defense :

A : Did not excuse BBC’s effort the week before

B: Was also a broader reference ( unspecified as such ) as to how god awful it has been the entire season which would explain the 1 x win effort to date and the likely 2 x win finish

Best Regards

Tat

Btw I think BBC has only 5 x Grade 12 starters this year and look like they are locked into a minimum top 3 finish

Looking at the have and have not emerging reality of GPS Rugby - it is very telling that after 6 rounds with 3 to go and byes for GT , TSS and BGS - that there are 2 teams with no losses ( TSS and Nudgee ) 2 teams on 1 loss ( BBC and Churchie ) and 5 teams on 1 win ( everyone else )

Congrats on another top 3 finish, maybe , my money’s on TSS/ NC / Churchie , but just opinions.

If bitterness compels you to those opinions than far be it from me to dissuade you m’friend

Rather than obsess about Top 3 finishes in the last round maybe you should be more focused on Terrace getting its 2nd win of the season v TGS

Hats off to TGS 1st half defence all guts.I think they only get BBC red zone 1x
I agree with Oracle -BBc 2nds front row looks better than the 1sts

This kind of stuff is uncalled for ... The last two pages of this forum is you ragging on double take, And Terrace.

I spoke to the Cameraman on Saturday at the BSHS game, he pretty much said they do what they can but can’t broadcast from some grounds for various reasons and are subject to what the school offers for vantage point.

And don’t forget these are kids, 16-18 year olds. They’re not Super Rugby players, or even premiere grade club players, they’re kids who should be focussed on getting the best grades at school they can.

Sure, I get royally frustrated when I watch BSHS. I see laziness and talent going to waste, apathy abound. But then I swallow my tongue and pat them on the shoulder and tell them they played well because they’re 17 year old school kids who don’t need idiots vicariously trying to live through them.

Can't like this post enough DarkSide!!

Even Nomad calls out Terrace’s performance after R1 as “terrible” on Page 29

Making comment on a “Horrendous” defensive effort though is clearly scarring notwithstanding the fact that there is no personal vilification which clearly is never acceptable


And there was no shot on Double Take - they are good guys that do a great job and add great energy ( even with a touch of humour ) in how they call the games .

There was an honest query as to why low win teams keep getting featured . The answer has nothing to do with “ being all about the venue” or “ better production facilities on site” as was speculated . It’s actually based around a fact that some schools permit it and some schools don’t - and both have to give permission for a game to be filmed

Apologies if any delicate sensibilities have been offended

It could prove to be an interesting last round with NC V TSS and Churchie V BBC provided results keep going the way as expected. NC, TSS playing for 1st with BBC V Churhie for Third.
Injuries could play an important part in the washup.

Hang about Hound ....

Let’s not write off either BBC or Churchie for something a bit better than 3rd given that they both still have to play the Nudge

Yes and it should be an interesting battle at the other end of the table for who can avoid the wooden spoon
