What the...? No Kalyn Ponga ( 15A Fullback and U15 Australian RL Captain?) Get real and stop trolling.

Tips for this weekend. NC v IGS. IGS will have more teeth but NC will have more tatts. Interesting effort to find a parking spot with all of the Taragos on Grammar School Hill. NC hate playing there and IGS have a way of spoiling things if you are not on your game. IGS in a last minute...

I think some credit needs to go to the TSS program and the boys there for lifting to virtually share the day with NC as outlined in these stats. I would hazard a guess that these other schools would have good and bad days against opponents but the NC program consistently racks up these sorts of...

If that ACGS side choked, it was against TSS when they let a 19-0 halftime lead become a 19-19 draw by foolishly kicking the ball to Aussie Schoolboy prop Peraka, not once but twice. The loss of Gunn (6) and Jardine (9) before half time did not help, and full credit to a resurgent TSS. The IGS...

Girtbysea - well said. Boys who fairly trialled for the State Champs should be able to do so as it is ratified by their school to allow them to trial for the team in the first place, knowing full well the dates of the championships. This is the beginning of the pathway for all boys, GPS, AIC...

Ahhhhhh....it's what I do. Seriously, these two go at each other like the brother schools they are, no different than NC -v- GT will be next week. Since 2003, there have been about 4-5 draws between TSS and ACGS. I thought the loss of Mason and his direction would have told - and it seemed to...

TSS v ACGS - I'm tipping a draw. Watch this space.

Saw quite a few of these blokes and hold the following opinions. Anae, Higgenbotham, Horwill and Smith all bloomed later in life and are not fairly here in terms of their SCHOOLBOY form - IMHO. Higgenbotham was in the TSS thirds and more interested in surfing. the others were all big lumps...

Dark Shark - post 1327 I think the Sanix tournament sewed the seeds of the NC loss. It is hard to keep things this interesting when you are 16-17-18 for this long. ACGS in 2012 returned from a UK tour which they had trained for and had a bit of a break in Term 1 as I understand from a...

4am? Test to Play? Try a Deans Burger! Lots of bread, unsatisfying and cuts no mustard. " We Devoured them with relish," The All Blacks

Well so I thought too but, this source confirmed he was in the 2nd XV for this week and you can bet he is on the bench for the 1sts. if Asiata truly did wake up one day and think, gee... Keebra games don't seem to have any lineouts - hang on - they're all playing rugby league!!! I've just got...

Churchie's reaction to the BSHS loss has been swift. Richie Asiata (Qld II) and formerly of Keebra Park SHS has just started at East Brisbane according to a mate on staff there. Wow - imports arriving during the season now!

Knockers, completely agree. This is an obvious troll effort by Phoenix. Give me a game any day that is decided by a last minute try after a 14 point head start by the other side. I hope there are more this season as they are fun to play and watch, maybe not to coach! Who wants a 40-0...

Churchie do have a premiership coach - Iain Jones has won several cups with IGS and TSS as well as several with Q schools but watching the halftime dynamic at the ACGS-BSHS game it didn't seem like he had a role at all. Maybe I've missed something but that's what it seemed to me. The BSHS...

Just back from a shopping trip to Carindale and dropped in to see BSHS - ACGS. Win to BSHS on the bell with a try under the posts. Churchie had their chances but once again, all the hype in the world about imports and new coach meant nothing as too many lapses of concentration gave them a rude...

Dear Expert Opinion ( no relation). One wonders at the way things will pan out in reverse with the 16s this season. GPS starts "late" and they get relatively few into Aussie Open sides, but AIC who finished right in time for the Open Nationals do as well as they have in a long time. Given the...

Vegas - spot on here. I have to say how the QRFSU teams go at the Nationals is probably not something the GPS Heads worry too much about. An irrefutable fact is that in the GPS schools, rugby is the biggest participation sport. With Term 3 rugby, the most important exams for senior boys plus...

Brian/Lee I'm aware of Cronan as Oz Schools Manager and his roles at IGS/NC. All the other things about good man etc were never questioned. My question was - what has he coached? It wasn't meant to be smart or inflammatory merely a seeking of a fact. I don't recall him ever having a team of...

Cattle dog, it is hard to comment on scrummaging north of the border because the Q GPS comp hasn't started yet. The AIC games I saw were underwhelming for me in this facet of the match. IMHO the issues the Wallabies face at scrum time are direct result of the fact U19 scrums are being...

Ahem.... Slipper, Toua, To'omua and Murday may wish to be considered having "made it" too. I suppose my deeper comment is that, just like the discards from CS who end up making sides each year, just because a 1s team is picked doesn't mean they got all of them right and 3-4 games of national...
