I don't like the way TGS play their footy, it's almost too structured. When you have the likes of Myles Rosemond, Adam Davis and Rhymen Tusi you are limiting their ability to make something out of nothing by making them follow a route and not do their own thing. Whilst TGS lost to GT, I don't think its a worry, on a dry paddock I still believe TGS have a field day with Terrace. I hope next week against state high, TGS stop experimenting players in different positions and play their best side possible, so Lincoln Clapham and Scott Gale ffs just look at this:

1. Harrison Humphreys
2. Ruben Kruger
3. James Tulikaki
4. Craig Thaggard
5. Rupeni Baravilala
6. Ethan Ramsay
7. Keegan Cook
8. Rhymen Tuilagi Tusi
9. Sam Elms
10. Cooper Brown
11. Adam Davis
12. Luke Burrow
13. Petelo Maka
14. Isiah Wuruki
15. Myles Rosemond

Heard the terrace fields coped an absolute beating with some “never will be the same ever again” can anyone confirm? As a TSS old boy myself I remember GT home grounds use to drain very well straight back into the well known Oxley creek.

Yes you're right. I watched the First XV game and while walking to their field, by just looking around the fields were absolutely trashed. Mud and water everywhere. The drainage certainly didn't look intact. Looked as sludgy as a pig pen.

Ladder Predictions for week 2 of trials:

1st - NC
2nd - TSS
3rd - BBC
4th - ACGS
5th - IGS
6th - GT
7th - TGS
8th - BGS
9th - BSHS

I can honestly see this season going full musical chairs. Every team's shown something in the trials so nobody's safe, especially not TGS, who look one bad bounce away from either a huge upset or a 40 point hiding. The comp's wide open and I can't wait for the chaos of schoolboy rugby to unfold.

Gummutt out.

Hey fellas,
Great to be back on the forum after a bit of time away!


Just a quick one, I've noticed a few changes in GT's front row over the past couple of games, and I was curious to hear your thoughts. Any insight into which way super coach Adrian Thompson is leaning with his selections? Would love to hear some opinions.


Cheers!

Any news on when @Roman Maivia will return from his knee injury that has kept him out for a while?

Maivia, Hollyman, and Harbottle would make a dominant front row.

G’day Terry,


Mate, this was hands down the most exciting result of the weekend, and probably the most surprising too. For a Grammar side that hadn’t notched up a win since 2022 in the GPS comp, to go into what’s arguably their toughest pre-season hit-out and not get absolutely pumped is bloody brilliant. Word around the traps is they were even held up over the line in the dying stages against Nudgee. That’s not just impressive, that’s a statement.

Now I always figured BBC would be one of those teams this year look good on paper, plenty of promise, but never quite firing on all cylinders. You’d expect Nudgee gave them a bit of a reality check, and them to come firing agasint grammar in the second trial. But for BGS to come out and hold BBC to a draw? Mate, I nearly fell off my chair.

There’s something different about Grammar this year. You can tell. There’s been a shift not just in results, but in attitude. Full head change, as they say. They look like a team that actually believes they belong now. They’ve got the hunger.

I know they’ve got young Elijah Breen running around at 15 or 10, hes a real slippery customer, footwork like he's dancing on coals. But I’m wondering, was there anyone else who stood up on the day? Any big forwards laying the platform? Any hard-nosed defenders giving the BBC backs nightmares? Keen to hear if anyone else caught the eye because if Grammar’s got more than just Breen pulling strings, we might be seeing a serious grammar team FINALLY!!!


Cheers, D.B

G'day Forum

I think we have had a good hard look at some of the teams this year and with QLD teams being selected what would your Dream GPS XV be in 2025?

Cheers, DB

Heard Tusi from TGS had a quiet game and by the looks of the score the forwards in general did. Any comments on whether this pack will struggle once the season comes around with no real leader in the forwards now.
