Anybody else feel like a massive cringe session? https://www.facebook.com/BBCspiritcommittee/videos/451978941668696/ Yuck

Sunnybank have lost Jake McIntyre (Reds), Mitch Third (Bond) and Jake Strachan (Wests) this off-season, decimating depth at flyhalf. Henry Taefu also has a chance on missing out, depending on how the Reds perceived his trial form. EDIT: Strachan will be staying Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wasn't he on the Souths coaching staff last year? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, just trying to be funny. It's risky stuff for me - I generally come away with 50/50 success. I hadn't heard of these RL boys, GG. Care to elaborate on who? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How kind of BBC to fly their regional students back to remote communities in between rugby games. I recall Southport offered the same to English junior Olympians in the swimming program a few years back! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Easts' search continues for a halfback for 2016. Eli Pilz is finished for the year after picking up an ACL + meniscus tear in the Reds 20s

Who are the Reds U20s playing in this week's curtain-raiser? I've heard people mention both Easts and Wests

Speaking of schoolboys thrown in to the deep end of Premier Grade, Michael Gunn would have to be the short favourite for the Reds open side in 2017. Like Thor, I worry Gunn needs more time developing his physicality in Premier Rugby before he's ready to start in Super Rugby. I made the...

A Mr Sam Caslick scored a try for Randwick in the final of the Shute Shield Sevens comp today. Has the Doggie gone galloping?

If Massellos is at three I'd expect Straker to drop out, Eiszele to hooker. I'd rather have Straker in the team. Good rugby family. Elder brother Jack was Grammar's only Australian schoolboy in 2009 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So how does this sound for a Nudgee First XV prediction, 23 odd weeks away from Week 1. 1. Phransis Sula-Siaosi 2. ? 3. Thomas Forde 4. Josh Dalle Cort 5. Mitch Wood 6. Tom Jeffries 7. Alex Colvin 8. Joseph Small 9. Tom Blackmore 10. Augustus Rangihuna 11. TJ Meni 12. Semisi Tupou 13. Xavier...

We're not playing 10 man rugby with Jake McIntyre. He's a direct flyhalf with a shonky kicking technique. I wouldn't let the QRU media department's analysis of his 'booming' kicking technique sway anyone's opinion too greatly. Believe it when you see it. The Brisbane City combination with...

You've got to imagine that the first choice team is what they'll run with in the Super Rugby season. Poses an interesting question - has Ready finally supplanted Saia in the starting team? (Obviously when Goromaru arrived there will be a re-shuffle in the backline at the expense of Taefu...

Bond Uni prop Izzy Rapata has had a pretty decent off-season by the look of this... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I also had a look at all of last year's JGC U15s. I imagine that all 106 guys are entering Grade 11 this year, so these names should all be split between 16 A/B and First XV. I've bolded the guy's who made Queensland U15. You'd imagine they'd play First XV in 2016. Caveat: I'm only aware...

Just had a flick through last year's Queensland U15s team. Nudgee have seven, BGS have three, Ipswich have three, Southport have two, BBC, Toowoomba and Churchie have one. Also included my match report from their match against NSW. Queensland U15 Emile Tuimavave (Brisbane Grammar School...

Fowler is definitely down in Melbourne for the duration of the U20s, longer if he wins a contract. I heard this from a former team-mate. Deck was definitely playing club rugby in Wellington in 2015. I believe he's actually a kiwi too, so I wasn't sure he'd ever come back. Also heard a rumour...

Matheson had moved to Ireland to take care of Munster's youth academy. Surely he didn't come back four months later to take up an S&C role for a third GPS school in three years? Not to mention it's one hell of a demotion from Premier Grade head coach to Strength and Conditioning at a...
