My dear GSP, you'll find that I am virtually always correct in this forum. BBC were deserved winners that day. I recall watching the match and it struck me that ACGS did not seem to turn up mentally or physically. Even with a young Kalyn Ponga, they had one of those days teams will have from...

The Churchie premiership was built on an exceptionally talented 15A side which won their competition back in 2012. Into this team Churchie parachuted about 8 boys who were either NRL contracted players ( Mason, Croft, Su'a, Ponga) or recruited players from other competitions (Fox...

All fair comments but also fair to point out Q2 5/8 was Matt To'omua who is ironically being selected ahead of both at the moment - yes QC (Quade Cooper) is injured but it made the point sound stronger!! There will always be bolsters and thank God for Combined States giving boys and selectors a second bite -...

Dear Mr Yates I can only help with an opinion on point 1. I don't have access to the records from 2008 so I can't say for sure re points but my gut gives it to BSHS. maybe a SH aligned poster can assist along with a Churchie fan? On Point 1, that BSHS side with its 8-9 Aust Schools reps...

Last musings from the parish IGS v BBC Hebrew settler v displaced Palestinian has nothing on the hatred of those whose acreages border each other in Pullenvale and Pinjarra Hills. The annual battle of the west will see the White Elephants in their final trot entering the match with as much...

Warrenwobble - the week has beaten me. Liked your work this round but mentally shot so no creative juices flowing. I'm as dry as Mother Teresa's drip tray. Maybe next week. Hopefully no injuries to any players in any matches and they can finish their seasons on a high next week.

Nucifora - Bond Uni signed and sealed - yes. Mark my words Gilmour WILL NOT be there in 2016. Just to make sure we are clear - I know a couple of the churchie boys from old club days and totally agree, the kids in the team, imports and all, are a well adjusted group who deserve whatever comes...

The ARFSU website says the NZ tour group assembles on 21 Sept so the Churchie reps in Aust Schools should be able to hop on the School Concorde and make it back from the Churchie awards dinner held in the Casino in Monaco by then. Still no word on the replacement for Dame Edna at Churchie...

Am I right in hearing this has to do with Catholic school immersion programs at GT (i think) and that the A game (and maybe the other grades) is/are going to played midweek in the last week of school? can any GT/NC affiliated types confirm this?

Views from the cheap seats this week. Churchie - bye. The whole Churchie XV are being sized for Armani school uniforms so they will look the part when they collect the 2015 cup so it is just as well they have the bye. The only thing surer this year is that Shane Watson will have a bizarre...

Also agree - BSHS 2009 - we won't see their like again.

An earlier poster asked where is Doessel for Churchie this year? I saw his name in the match program in the 2nd XV as a GPS rep player!! I think there needs to be some perspective here. I called for the same when people were saying Dave Eagle had won a zillion premierships when he just...

Opinions from the cheap seats this week. TSS v ACGS Match of the round, maybe the year, and largely the key to the premiership in 2014. Expect a commotion in the crowd as a TSS mum gets a large diamond ring caught in her vaginal piercing as she attempts a sneaky readjustment of her G string...

I am pleased that the forum has expanded to consider performances by all teams down to the 13As and to encourage chat about the opinions and ups and downs in these areas and not just First XV for page after page. The realisation that some massive rivalries are building for teams like...

I tried to swear off the tipping this week but I'm sweating like Cliff Richard at a Wiggles concert and just had to have another go. Churchie v BBC The only thing that will tarnish the Churchie juggernaut will be injuries but with scholarship and representative boys in the 2nds, depth is not...

I give up with this tipping lurk. I think the only one I got right this week was TSS. I was texted by a mate at the Nudgee game. he said ACGS threw to 6 all day and he was waiting for the NC response but it never came - ACGS just threw and won there uncontested all day. seems a pretty dumb...

For those fearing the forecast wet weather may impact on the NC- ACGS game, fear not. I have heard Churchie have just rounded up 100 peasants and they will be pushed into any puddles to use their filthy rags to sop up any excess water and any of the year 12s with helicopter licences (most of...

Opinions from the parish this week. Currently 7/8 Churchie v Nudgee Match of the round - probably one of the matches of the season. This is a hard one to call. NC have had the bye and doddle v BSHS and then were made to work harder than they needed to v BBC but were not as slick as they'd...

Wazza I was in T'ba for a Christening and got to slip away to the 1st XV match. With a little bit of luck, this could have been Toowoomba's game. I was impressed at the way their forwards never gave up and just kept coming and coming. TGS backs handled well and looked dangerous on the flanks...

Round 3 opinions (Thus far tipping 7/8) IGS v TSS. It's the mullets v the fresh cuts this week and with TSS on a roll to start their season, lots will be tipping against the boys from the west. I'm unsure where it is being played so I'll say if it is down the coast, TSS by 25 but if it is...
