I thought last year's injury toll was due to BBC taking part in the Stanix tournament and making it a long year. This year, particularly with new coach I thought the approach to strength and conditioning and focus on the GPS season would have minimised the injury toll to a greater extent. It...

Agree with this 100%. I have talked to some parents from the blue and white since the game and they were certain they got stitched up. But having watched this replay with the ref voice over, it looks to be the right calls, particularly in second half as the game's intensity increased. BSHS...

Agreed on above. BBC in first half just cut holes in GT defence after scoring one of the fastest tries I have ever seen in GPS rugby. But in second half GT starved BBC of ball and the BBC players went into their shell and seemed too one dimensional. I know they were without a string of...

Round 8 tips TSS (from the penthouse in 2015 to the outhouse (almost) in 2016 for ACGS in their last game this year - similar to BGS the year after their 2012 premiership with only two wins since then) NC (revenge for the ambush at Fursden Rd last year) BBC (I hear GT have a few injuries as...

Round 7 picks... TSS BBC BSHS TGS

Fantastic - but what happened when the other players scored 70 odd points during the game????

This weekend:- BBC (just wonder if BSHS starting early playing trials has caused them to run out of steam) NC GT IGS

B&G, I thought you would have to give acknowledgement to BBC defeating NC for the first time since Moses was captain of the Wanderer's First XV as being a big result.

While I remember he played in centres in his first year of Firsts I think it is madness or extremely desperate to play one of the country's best schoolboy backrowers out of position.

BBC TSS BSHS TGS

In the TSS forward pack the following turn 18 this year:- 1. Dechlan Day 2. Rory Meyer 5. Angus Blyth 6. Josh Tonkin 7. Finn McElroy 8. Tipene Mavoa

Yes. Unlike any other Qld GPS school I know of, TSS have no u16 players in this year's Firsts. Mainly due to number of 18 year old players in team. This occurs because the school aligned itself to the NSW school system many many years before Qld did with intake into school being six months to...

With the half way point coming up in the comp, there are two undefeated teams, NC and BSHS, and three with one loss (GT, TSS and BBC). I believe that any one of these five sides could win the premiership, be that outright or shared. Nudgee probably have the most difficult run in being the only...

Gees Harry, only one second from this bold prediction result coming true. TSS love these close games though. This time on wrong side of ledger. Congrats to GT. As said earlier, TGS unluckiest team in comp. So close so many times but so far away. Big turnaround by IGS to push NC to the...

TSS NC BBC BSHS Are there any live feeds by DoubleTake this weekend? Also on that note, massive thumbs up to the efforts and quality of the broadcast and now added commentary on some. Brings the comp to a whole new level.

The game is at Toowong. Can't believe TGS may be looking at their fourth straight defeat. They were shaping up as a real threat this year. They will still be dangerous up on the Range.

As mentioned a few times, just about every game could go either way... BGS TSS BSHS GT

Ps - great game write ups. Thanks Nic!!!

I think Stanghorn was injured playing Ippy and did not play last weekend.

From memory, it has been very rare for IGS to field a 16b team in the last decade. Players drop out as they get older, they usually lose a couple to Firsts and there just aren't the numbers to sustain a 16b team at IGS. It starts at the younger age groups when you can only field two or three...
