And I'll put my tips in a bit earlier, as someone mentioned I had forgotten to post last week's. Picked all three but Brisbane Grammar's impressive win over Brisbane State High. I'm cursed. The King's Round Nine Tips (23/32 = 72%) Nudgee College @ Brisbane State High Nudgee will still...

He's arrived from Melbourne, with no relation to "the" Hunt family. Herman Hunt (Nudgee College 2000 -> Queensland Reds 07/08) Junior Hunt (St Francis College 2001 -> QLD U20s MVP 2001) Nicky Hunt (Nudgee College 2002 -> Aus Sevens 2017/18) Karmichael Hunt (Churchie 2003 -> Reds 2015-2018)...

I unearthed a great stat before the game today. Nudgee's front row weighed in at 294 kg, which is totally respectable for a Schoolboy side. For perspective, the All Blacks front row (Laulala, Coles, Moody) weighs 338 kg. The Wallabies front row (Ala'alatoa, Moore, Sio) weighs 347 kg. The...

Zane Nonggor is 187 cm and 136 kilograms. And 16 years old. What's even more incredible is that he played the full 70 minutes and apparently does so each week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

TSS roar home to win 34-22 after trailing 15-12 at the break Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

TheKing's Rd 7 Tips: 18/24 (75%) Still yet to hit that perfect round! Hopefully my luck is better in round seven. Nudgee's lineout will be under attack for the second week in a row, but I think we'll see them win a tight one. 19-13 sounds about right. Gregory Terrace have the firepower to...

I was actually trying to find some old footage of Mario Fenech boxing and stumbled across this clip from 2011. I understand Laei has been one of the age group superstars these past few years? Clip starts at 1:42

Damn it. Churchie upset TGS so I go 3/4 for the sixth consecutive round. 18/24

I think we're cruising for a Nudgee-TSS shared premiership. Nudgee have wobbled to tight wins against Terrace, Toowoomba and now BBC - they've only really been convincing in one game this season (IGS). Southport on the other hand have been the best team on the pitch every week by about a...

The King's Tips (15/20, 75% in 2017) NC > BBC TSS > BGS TGS > ACGS BSHS > IGS I've lost out one match every round, so I need a big play. BSHS over IGS is a ballsy tip but I'll stick with it

I think I might be cursed. Another 3/4 tipping round - my fourth in a row

The King's Round 4 Tips (9/12 thus far) TSS @ BBC TSS are on the precipice of disaster. They've not won since 2010 but have always finished in the top three. The "perennial contenders" will have to be renamed the perennial bridesmaids if they don't beat BBC. They'll come out swinging and...

I did some digging and it looks like Churchie have owned Northgate since 2000. Grammar might never have beaten Churchie on Northgate since acquiring the fields in the ~90s (from the top of my head) In 2015, Brodie Croft starred in Rd 9 to win 55-18 at Northgate. Su'a was rested for the game...

Streamed, but not commentated.

Sole, calm down mate.. I was just explaining that the reason he didn't go down to Sydney was a bit more than homesickness. That's it. If you're indigenous then you would understand why. I was explaining for the benefit of the non-indigenous among us who might not. I stated my belief that it...

I think you have to look a little deeper into his cultural background. I understand he went through his (Tribe? Not sure of PC terminology)'s rite of passage/ceremony to become a man during the July holiday. Being shaved is a significant event in the life of a young indigenous man, so...

He does love his AFL, but that was unrelated to his absence at QLD Trials. Reliably informed that he flew home to FNQ to visit his family on the holiday and chose that over heading to Sydney. Nothing nefarious

DoubleTake are very keen to stream this game, but we're never gotten permission to commentate from Miskin St before. Next weekend is 100% in the hands of BBC's headmaster. Fingers crossed!

The King's Tips: 5/8 thus far ACGS v GT is the commentated game tomorrow, and I think GT will pull out a 12 point win. Very interested to see the match-ups in the centres, and rumour has it a fan favourite will be making his debut as lead caller for the commentary team. TSS v IGS is the...
