Sounds like the inmates running the asylum. I doubt that would be the case.

Hey Nick, I meant to say good write up. I appreciate you having a crack at reporting on your favourite team and adding some colour to the thread on teams outside the Firsts.

Just be aware that in that trial game eight of the best players from Nudgee were out with rep duties (City side) or injury while GT were only missing two players.

It is due to a rule that I was told was brought in late last year but has not been published on the GPS Qld website. So I cannot state as absolute fact that this is the rule. But this rule supposedly requires a student who is on a scholarship to have commenced at the beginning of term 1 in...

Jack07 - I don't think it is about motivation. These young men are extremely "motivated" on many levels. But if their bodies have been put in a position where they can't respond like they are used to, then they cannot do much about it. I believe they need to freshen up first and the rest...

I also thought the new facilities at Tennyson make it one of the best spectating and playing grounds of any school around. Extremely spoiled by the big screen and multiple camera shots being used. Was hanging out for the replays of the tries scored as the kicks were being taken but I was...

There were a couple of different stories on Roycroft's non appearance in Firsts that I heard from different sources. Feel sorry for the young man being caught up in politics that were none of his doing. Sounds like the solicitors will be busier than a one armed brickie this coming week.

The Gt v BGS game yesterday was the one I caught yesterday. I thought the BGS forwards held their own but it could have been a very different game if BGS did not kick the ball away so often. I think GT would have won in any event, their backs were superb but it would have been harder if they...

I first thought "Wow!!" when I heard the BBC result. But then I thought may be no surprise as I thought they looked a little "over cooked" when I saw them in trial game the week before. I think there were some comments in the last week that some players did not look fit. My feeling was they...

And Asiata starting in Term 3 at ACGS last year and continually playing off the bench. Has got to be a gee up.

I think both schools were missing players due to rep duties (not u15) injuries (Gt from a rugby tournament during the week and NC from QJRU champs previous weekend) and holidays. So apart from also being a trial the games could only be seen as a guide rather than definitive. I only saw the...

Just over two weeks to go.....

This weekend - Curtain Raisers to the Reds V Waratahs are the City v Country games at Suncorp for u13, u14 and u16. Some great games in the corresponding matches last year, so do yourself a favour... Here are the teams and further details...

Thanks to all contributors and scribes for the week for keeping the G&G readers in the loop of the nursery of Aust Rugby. Cheers

Well the QLD GPS selectors must have got it very wrong when they picked Connor Moroney as its fifth ranked no.7 when he was selected as reserve for the GPS II team. He certainly has jumped a few for Aust Schoolboys selection. Congrats to Connor and the rest of the team - now to focus on...

So not having seen the team, I sense/guess the team is weighted towards the coaches state they are currently resident in? This is despite results going against that state. Seriously, I wonder at times as well how selectors / coaches pick some players in some teams. Past reputation, promise of...

Wow, I may have predicted above only happened earlier than I thought. The BJRU Pink u14 team that contains many of the NC " stars" spoken about in earlier posts including the exciting new No.8 just got beaten at the QJRU State Champs. The BJRU Orange team that accomplished that feat included...

Don't disagree Digby. The big danger for the NC 14A's could be too much rugby, if there is such a thing. Most of their "stars" were playing up a year in the ARU Gold comp at beginning of year, club rugby, the QJRU Champs this weekend, the City v Country next weekend, more school trials and...

Good luck to all competing today and over the weekend in the QJRU State Champs down at TSS This used to generate a little bit of chat over the years but seems very quiet this year. Is it because there are no u15's and u17's age groups? Is it because the BJRU teams seem to be less "regional"...

Can anyone point me to the QJRU State Champs Draw that is supposed to be held this weekend. I have searched and searched and searched and cannot find anything. It may be a case of typical male blindness. I hope it is not a fall down in communication from the QJRU!!
