Agree QH - priorities seem to be arse-around, and the schools forgetting what decades of tradition means to them and why parents make the enormous decision to actually pay the fees to them for .... all for a short term punt for momentary glory - if at all - but the risk for longer term damage .

I heard on the weekend that there is discussion underway to move the rugby back to Term 2 - not sure of the timing, but here's hoping !

Apologies Coogee Boy for upsetting you, but I think you are both wrong, and have missed the point. Yes, the Rugby in the Qld GPS Comp this year is as good as I have seen it - at least since the whole "arms race" as it has been called, commenced a few years ago ( maybe even the best schoolboy...

Light - again I think you need to "settle down". This "Holier than Thou" attitude in your posts doesn't read very well. Who are you judge when a school is making progress or otherwise ? Take the season and yesterday's games for what they are - a great season thus far, with wins possible from...

Agree Deansy - if similar nonsense happens again, hopefully the other people around the little-minded big mouths have the courage and the support to shut the fools down. You touched on the real positive for me out of yesterday's game at Tennyson - how a team of boys who have a real affinity and...

If Terrace play like they did today, they will give Nudgee a great run for their money - and as for the fortress - Churchie seemed to find it quite easy to sort out "the fortress that is Ross Oval" - they didn't even have to knock on the front door !!

For cying out loud Guildford - I have already said there were bad decisions, and those 2 were possibly the worst - I don't think anyone can shed light on them, but that is not what I am writing about. No matter how poor the decision, nor how fervent the supporter, it was sad to see the behavior...

Red Black - it came from the group of parents I was standing behind, who told me to f*** off when I suggested they pull their heads in. It then came from a group of boys as the firsts ran on. Guildford - whoever the supporters were abusing any ref, BBC, GT or vagrants who wandered up from the...

Guildford - I am sorry, but nothing like that "cuts both ways " - yes, some of the decisions were poor, both ways I thought incidentally, but you cant vindicate behaviour because it was a square up for something that happened in another game. Nor can you cast aspersions on a female referee...

Well done to Gregory Terrace First XV today - they out-enthused, out-hustled and out-played BBC in all departments, and looked as though they wanted it so much more. A good day all round with the spoils shared - BBC in the 14As, 15As, 16As and Seconds, GT in the Firsts and 13s. Congrats to the...

Don't think its that big an issue in the backs Digby - wilkins will be missed, but I think the back line functions better with Bowen at 10 and Russell in the centres - defensively as well. Bowen - Horan will be a great clash. Bronson will be missed, but Gunter is more than capable - watch for...

And therein is the whole nonsense of this sad scholarship situation King. Generally the boys are there for the wrong reasons. Short term goals without any long term sustainable plan. I fear that the only KPI or "flag on the hill" for the schools is winning a premiership - which is a 9 week...

On a slightly different point, I am unsure how the tertiary entrance process works in the NSW schools, but out of interest, has anyone in Queensland enquired of the schools how these import, or mercenary, or scholarship programmes - call them what you will - impact the schools' overall academic...

Sorry, but I have to disagree Will Reason - there are plenty of examples of where talent, or tenacity , has developed later than others - even at the wallabies ( eg Phil Kearns ). BBC's victorious team yesterday played a young fellow at fullback, at the school since Grade 8 but not picked in the...

TSS have only won 2 with a bye - official table as per http://www.gpsqld.org.au/. 1st XV POINTS LADDER 1st: BBC, NC - 6 points 4th: BSHS, GT, ACGS, TSS - 4 points 7th: TGS, BGS - 2 points 9th: IGS - 0 points Round 5: ACGS v TSS; BSHS v NC; GT v BBC; BGS v IGS; TGS Bye I posted earlier...

Deansy - I think you are getting mixed up with the game at TSS !! BTW - have been trying to find a result - what happened to The Filth today ??

tripod scream quote deleted Tripod - I think you may have got the message by now, but for fear of the blood having rushed to your head, I will answer you question why it wouldn't have been right - 1 - the player was on as a replacement for another who was injured in the lead up to the try 2 -...

Agree with most of your tips TSS Mum - except TSS - i think it will be closer than that. TSS havent been tested this season and may be surprised by a rebounding , game hardened Nudgee. Not sure who was "talking about the issue of flankers ", but cant however agree with your playing the man and...

leave the school before the year ends
