Another one for you, Darcy Swain - BBC First VIII 2015 and now plays for the Brumbies. Having been on both sides of the curtain, I am 100% of the opinion that nothing builds fitness and ability to fight injuries like rowing does - there's a reason people are able to keep rowing into their 80's/90's.

^What BBC does holds no concern. The word on the sideline is that the bad culture at BBC is associated to rugby players being forced to row. I personally saw the emphasis on rowing when my boy went for an interview at the school 5 years ago. When the rugby recruiter is the rowing coach, then you can see how things can be tainted. As stated, body composition and willingness are the key.
Put it this way, a Super rugby player doesn’t continue to row at a high level after school. I just don’t care. Only putting my opinion forward on a forum. Is this a forum?And why does every discussion on this thread revert back to BBC? Too many parents trying to push their kids position in the team?

Not a parent mate, and I get what you're saying.
My issue that I have is that there is too much of this "I only play one sport culture" at BBC, it does absolutely no favours for school morale when boys are helicoptered in to play First XV in year 11 and then don't get themselves involved in any other aspects of the school. I think you'd find that there is a fair few boys who played first XV and were asked to row - and actually enjoyed the social aspect of it! It seems there's a vocal minority who would like to make everyone think it works the other way around.
And completely agree on every discussion reverting back to BBC, I have vested interest in the school and even I get sick of hearing it. Then again, what else would happen in this forum if we didn't have BBC posters?

Spot on!!.. too many vicarious parents with agendas. Get back to work all of you and let the boys enjoy their school days and their rugby without this rubbish.

Agree. The boys should be introduced to a variety of sports. It helps develop them. Just sick of hearing the banter about BBC. If you can’t support your school or the players get out. Simple.

The entire Nudgee team are deserving of securing top positions. Outstanding team performance this year. Every combination works.

Too true mate!! I even think Matt Englebrecht would be infront of Tyrone Metusela-Supaia, however i forgot about him.

Personally I would have Parata over Pasitoa. A pity he has been lost to the ARU, recruited by the Crusaders, who have had the odd good #10 in the past and might like what they see.

Did you not see the game on Saturday. Pasitoa outplayed Parata. I do see Pasitoa at 12 in future years.
Les Patterson

I watched most of it on the streaming service. Pasitoa may have got the points on Saturday (up for debate) but judging on a season's performance and his similar role for TSS last year (won every game except one when he didn't play) I can see why the Crusaders were interested.

Parata makes my team with Reesjan at 12 over Asi - I believe that 10 12 is much much stronger than either at 10 with Asi not even close - but Reesjan has had the better season at 10 in 2018 imo.
other positions
Front row pick itself
Locks is a three way battle with the two Churchie boys battling to partner VDS - Tito come charging home but he can wait to next year.
Englebrecht and very clear air behind at 6
Roach gets in on class and the most pilfers, but I had hoped for more impact personally (missed a few games as well) maybe not his fault though.
I would have had Tautau at 8 before the weekend by Reno showed what a game changer he can be on Saturday.
Jeans, Flook and Bennet were peerless at 9,13,14
Split hair between Stevens and Banjo for mine i go Banjo
15 is tougher but lets go with Atkinson over the ACGS boy simply because he played better against the better teams.

At Nationals the combo of Jeans 9, Gordon 10, Pasitoa 12 and Waight 13 were the business. Gordon and Pasitoa were the talk of the titles. Undeniably all Aus reps should be in the top team of 2018.

Until they got rolled by NSW 2 - Carter was a pretty distant 3rd in the local 10 race to be fair.

Gordon has been up and down this season. Pasitoa is my pick for 10. Parata has a good kick but not much more.

Definitely Tautau 8, Jeans 9, Pasitoa 10, Banjo 11 Flook 13, Bennett 14 and Atkinson 15

Wow that is tough on Parata, he is a wonderful distributor of the ball. He attacks the line with the ball in both hands and feeds his runners, some great sleight of hand in double take’s recent video. Definitely not a powerful runner that Pasitoa is however he has a wide range of excellent skills in his own right.
