I agree with Mr Stalwart. There are ways of saying you have a different opinion to the judges who decided the award. Those judges were the only ones whose opinion count for this year's award. They didn't agree with you, for whatever reason. But they have that right. You chose really...

The reality is where Churchie's scrum unravelled against BBC a couple of weeks ago they lost a prop but kept fighting it out. Unfortunately BGS chose a different way out of their problem. Grammar's scrum was a shambles from the first scrum. Reading the program I note the BBC scrum tipped the...

Hey Digby. Final score BBC 46 d BGS 17. When did Noel win the GPS Open 100m. It has never happened. He won the U16 GPS 100m in 2011. I agree he added the x factor. He runs like a winger. The reason why he scores is because he's fast, yes but because he knows how to finish. The last two tries...

Absolutely agree Huge. The number of grandparents nominated in this thread as funding kids travelling long distances to board at private schools involving fees of $90K+ over three years - I would love to have had grandparents with that sort of money wondering what to do with it. My parents had...

Hey Digby I don't think the number is 7 in the BBC 15A in Met West. Maybe 5. Given your insight into the BBC 1st XV, what do you think is the cause of them having such poor lineout results.

Don't disagree the timing is poor for the GPS competition. Having said that it is the Schools U15 State Champs and runs from Thursday to Sunday. I had heard NC have had some injuries in the 15As including a nasty one from the bus crash in central australia a few weeks ago. Still no reason...

I think 31-5

Disagree. Having seen both Churchie and Terrace they are similar structures. Terrace certainly were way more clinical than Churchie and didn't give many opportunities. GT to surprise NC.

One thing surprised me today. It happened in the 70th minute of the 1st XV game at Tennyson. Winger motoring down the wing looking like he was away, when 110kg 15yo No 8 for BBC flies across the field and bundles him into touch to end the game. Well done big fella.

Maybe the referee ruled that the tap was not taken from the mark. In any case under the LAWS of rugby the referee is the sole judge of law and fact on the field. One day some of you will get some wisdom - if you are adults stop living your past glories of lack of them through your...

Gunter was part of the NSW U15 side that beat Qld 29-0 last year. He played in the team with Reece Hewat. The guy is in the same mould as Bronson. Very mobile. Fast and built like a block of flats. Yes the leadership and captaincy will be a void but in terms of rugby capability... expect lots...

People may not be aware of Ben Gunter. He plays seriously good rugby and was a member of the same NSW U15 team that Reece Hewat was last year that beat Qld U15 by 29-0. As well he is a wonderful young man who is humble but has formed some very productive relationships with his Grade 10 mates at...

Certainly going to be interesting to watch Ben Gunter playing BBC 1st XV this week against Leofa from Terrace.

I wonder what it takes to stop this? Story doing the rounds a few years ago involved a school principal publicly saying he was going to reduce the level of scholarships and redirect them to other activities. The story culminates in the Old Boy group saying if that happened, a change in school...

I don't think I could ever leave out Joe Tomane. I saw him in 2007 single handedly turn around a 0-3 half time score to lead 21-3 in just 10 minutes. He scored three tries in the corner untouched. Perfect wingers tries. I was never surprised he was ultimately successful. Just disappointed he...

Richie never played for State High. He may have travelled past State High on his way from Keebra Park SHS to Churchie.

This is good to know. There is a subtle difference to what has been portrayed earlier. Well done. But it begs the question... and I am not saying either of these is wrong ... are they developing the rugby capability of the whole cohort by blending rugby and physical capability to aid in the...

Coulda shoulda woulda... at East Brisbane today. Refereeing aside there are two sides who really gave it to each other today. It was exciting to watch... not just because of the closeness of the score. Churchie's centre pairing was dangerous every time they handled but as the game wore on...
