Some of the boys have not turned up tonight. Seems as though just going through the motions. Not an inspiring match.

Also ran into some GT connections at Crosby Rd on Sunday. Yeah, yeah, the team we seem to hear the most about on this forum is GT, but it probably reflects the demographics of the readers, so may as well cater for them. Saying that, I do wish we could hear more from NC and TGS connections on...

Heard a little bit more about the BGS side. Now it may have been late one night that I heard this and some of the memory is a little fuzzy so some of the team list may be out of place, but I am sure it is accurate as can be with chinese whispers. Where I am unsure I have put "????" What I do...

Maybe they should have a highlights package put together to show the physicality of both players versus Ranger in the last couple of weeks. Light years apart in execution and result!! Edit - Sorry, just saw further postings with video of such hit by Cooper.

That also seems to be the theme with BGS. Moving Lakehm to prop and Kemp to flanker sounds like they are looking for a very fast game across the field.

I have heard there has been some organisation by the BJRU to improve / upgrade the representative pathways between u13 to u17. They are now formally selecting Brisbane teams in each age group after the QJRU Championships. I have just seen the criteria for coaches applications. One very good...

No problems. I do find the info I get from the range is extremely limited. I had thought he repeated. TGS is probably the school that has the least direct contributors to this forum.

Yes he is at GT and made an appearance or two in the Firsts squad but is not in the squad at this point.

Yes HJ, I did not know the names, positions or form of these boys. Apologies for leaving out of consideration. It will be interesting to watch them perform at the trials and I will keep an eye on them. They have landed in two of the three teams that I believe that will be fighting to be the...

Here is my crack at some GPS Selections – Teams 1 and 2 are straight forward and Team 3 is a mixture of smokies and people who could surprise. I will also say I may have inadvertently overlooked a player or two, particularly those who may have repeated. A couple of things around this. Who knows...

I spoke to a yr 11 Terrace father earlier today. While it does seem as though Sitanilei has left (after long absence) the boys in year 11 who are in contact with him believe he is a good chance of coming back. Meanwhile, the Terrace team have big problems at Hooker and Flyhalf, with no depth...

Also hats off to John Kirwan. Sensational coaching has really turned the Blues around after such a shocker last year.

The Blues were relentless tonight at the breakdown, particularly in second half. The Reds backrow went missing at times tonight. Cooper's great form tonight was not so dependent on Genia. Great to see. That game was almost test like. Loved the way the Blues played tonight but I thought Ali...

There was a match I went down to watch yesterday between Souths u17 and a Gold Coast rep team. Early in the match just as Souths were scoring a try, the flyhalf (I believe) copped a hit as he was passing and may have a season ending injury. Can anyone confirm who it is and if he is okay? Thanks

Yes, some sensational games occur from week to week in this comp because every game is treated as a Finals game. Rarely is there a second chance for the "loser" I cannot think of one year during the mid-eighters that BBC had a solid side. From my memory they were cellar dwellers, always...

I agree with above. The Rebels had a glut of possession and JOC (James O'Connor)'s game management was missing. He looked like a fullback coming into the frontline when he had to. The few times he took it up to the King's defensive line saw him all at sea trying to use the support around him and IIRC the only...

Someone will have to give O'Connor lessons on playing flyhalf. Just seems very lost and not giving backline any direction. His left to right pass is also very weak.

I have heard that Tom O'Toole from year 9 at Padua is a v. good chance at playing in the First XV this year. I saw him play last year in club and thought he was very handy in his age group (u14). Also played in the u15 Met North team last year. Will be a credit to him if he does make it. But...

I know it is tough at the beginning of the season organising trial and grading games but i was very disappointed to hear about a recent game in the second round of BJRU grading. In the u14's there was a game organised between last year's Div 3 Premiers and the Div 1 Premiers. I believe the Div...

My favourites for the premiership is Nudgee. This age group at NC was unstoppable from u13 to u15. I think only one team went close to beating them in only one match over those three years And then around half a dozen or more of the team when they were u16 played in Firsts last year and went...
