Looking forward to sitting through Churchie v IGS sometime this week.

I was very impressed with Hoani Ford-Stevens' combination of ball-playing and physicality. He's quite a complete package in the mould of Duncan Paia'aua when he was playing for Norths last year. Cam Howard was one of the most impressive forwards on the pitch and I caught a few eye-catching...

Ordinarily at least one of the commentators is more familiar with the competition, but for round one neither of the guys filling in had seen much GPS footy recently. Marty Lippiatt is still busy with QPR and I'm out of town for the first few weeks, so there was no-one available to correct them...

In the team list Nudgee provided the commentary team, Ryan Shepherd (11) and Jangala Bennett (14) were the wings with Dan Atkinson the fullback. I will be addressing Hoffman as Ze Rohan for the rest of my life

He came off the bench sometime in the second half, so I guess it's not bad you didn't notice him? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The same Alexander Smit who played fullback for GPS 3 at the State Championships is playing blindside for BSHS?

I had to turn off the GT v NC livestream when Terrace were up 31-18 and thought I was going to come off looking like a genius. Instead I go 2/4 in Round One. :D

Round One Results: Nudgee College came back from an 18-31 deficit to win 32-31 over Gregory Terrace, sealing a win for the ages with a clutch Reesjan Pasitoa penalty goal. Brisbane Boys' College stamped their mark on a talented Ipswich Grammar outfit, winning 33-17. The Southport School stomped...

The King's Round 1 Tips 1. Gregory Terrace @ Nudgee College It looks like we might have a competition in the Second XV as Nudgee name a team almost as strong as TSS' will prove to be. However, the First XV is at risk of dropping their first game to Terrace on Ross Oval in donkeys years...

BGS have announced their season draw. Only three away games (BBC, BSHS and TSS) might give the light dark blue a healthy leg up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah it's a funny thing with Team(s) of the decade, they generally don't extend much further past the start of the decade.. A team of the millennium would be a fun exercise but I couldn't comment on the players' Schoolboy form Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Feels like criticism of the Queensland teams may have been OTT? I certainly didn't feel like the sky was falling down after day one, but I'm glad for the boys that they've turned the results around. In other news, I had a peek at the GPS Team of the Decade document I've been updating...

Queensland coach Nick Stiles has this morning confirmed rumours that out-of-favour flyhalf Jake McIntyre has signed with French Top 14 club Agen. News broke in the French press early this morning that McIntyre would join the club based in France’s south-west once his contract with Queensland...

Reds have just announced one-year deals for Angus Blyth (TSS 2016) and Caleb Timu (NC 2010). But the real kicker is a MONSTER four-year deal for Harry Hockings (ACGS 2015) that will keep him in Red until "at least 2020".

As a matter of fact I still haven't, so maybe I'm reading too much into it. Sorry if that's the case I'm in Brisbane atm, just watching the games on the livestream like the rest of us.

Not sure who MP (Moana Pasifika) is (is it me?) but my best guess as to why MA'E was subbed would be so that JP Tominiko could also get some time on the field in front of the selectors. This tournament is about player development so the goal is for every player to play equal minutes wherever possible. Stiles...

Sam Phillips is not some kid trying to sound like a journalist. He is one of the brightest rugby brains going around in the media. Stiles rates him so highly as a scribe that he's given Phillips 100% access to Reds training, one of two people in the world with that level of access to the team...

Looks like I might need to watch the game again! I certainly got the feeling in the initial watch that Queensland were in cruise control, playing with confidence they perhaps didn't have the right to play with. I thought Parata's kicking (multiple kicks approaching 60m in distance) and...
