Sorry For the confusion, I failed to explain it well enough but you can include u16 players who are playing u16 and u16 players playing first XV footy.

Barry is a good player, but I think Kingsley Uys would have to feature as the Australian loose head? From my perspective, the TSS scrum hasn't quite lived up to its billing, but I think Uys' size and technique warrants at least an HM (for my vote, the starting spot). The remainder looks good, although I haven't seen Will Devine (and GT in general) in action much. Kasper from NC must be pretty close?
I am unashamedly 'calling it as I see it', noting these views seems a bit contrarian.

Any of you old bucks have any pre game superstitions?
Mine was a couple cold ones just to get the blood flowing

I would always drink a 600ml bottle of my Dads milk (not homogenized of course), from the farm. Gave me the bones to withstand anything back in '97.

A lot to like on this list. Despite the competition being very close, a lot of the top players are delivering the consistency we hope for as rugby lovers.
I'd be inclined to have Charlie O'Connell from NC in at 10 (great game in the opening round against IGS and in total control during their demolition of Southport). He has had some HIA absence (didnt play in round 4), but has the defence, positional play and kicking game to be a genuine consideration.
Balancing that NC insertion, I'd consider BBC #9 Isaac Kefu at 21. He is young and has a lot of talent but possibly lacks the completeness and experience to start. Very close though.
Eli Langi - really tough to be on the bench - he is fantastic and deservedly is BSHS Captain and comfortably in the Reds. That being said, I can see what you've tried to do getting BSHS #8 - Roman into 4 to accommodate Nasser. As per my previous post, I think NC #4 Kasper deserves his spot, so will acquiesce on Eli being on the bench. (Besides having a BSHS 4,5,6 might be a bit much - despite their success this year)
Great list and thanks for generating the debate. Of note, only 3 players on the long list (ours combined) in the current QLD 18s team.

The capitulation by TGS from a potentially winning position against NC was also tough to watch. TGS has had all of the running in the second half but missed penalty goals from in front, missed touch when going for a rolling maul setup and then got offside when attempting a subsequent rolling maul.
Meanwhile NC clinically puts points on with every opportunity.
All credit where it is due. They are just a more polished team.

Northgate has to be the deadest place in history. Grandstand is about 1km from the field

Looking forward to hearing your account of the game @Quick_Tap_Tony
BBC hosed that in, even when they ran on heaps of players from 2nds n younger groups for large part of 2nd half.
The BBC forwards were so dominant.
Bizarrely the team lifted when Howarth was yellow carded.

Great Win for the BBC boys on Gaza today, good comeback game considering their poor effort against BGS, really showed that they are premiership contenders still.
