I've found a starting team for State High. Still hunting Nudgee's, but it shouldn't be too far away. 1. Lloyd Gorman 2. Clinton Malolua 3. Moses Alo-Emile 4. Victor Tualima 5. Rico Aliva 6. Bryce Luff 7. Nesta Mahina 8. Patrick Tafa 9. Neal McNamara 10. Lachlan Stewart 11. Shea Lalagavesi 12...

University have completed a clean sweep of arch-rivals Brothers in Premier Grade, outscoring the Brethren 35-47 at Crosby Park in Round 11’s Game of the Round. Two tries to lock Patrick Morrey carried the converted-flanker to second place on Premier Rugby’s try-scoring leaderboard, while Josh...

Not yet. I'm hoping I can get my hands on one soon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He started the trial v BSHS at fullback. I take it he's fine to play

Overheard on the Queensland Premier Rugby livestream half-time pep talk between the referees, over a 15 minute span. R: "With those fast breaks, if they flatten somebody in midfield, I'll feed them for offside. But most of the time they're getting to the edge anyway, so let them go. R:"Both...

Sat down last night with a former team-mate of Jaydn Su'a's last night to watch his Broncos debut. Looked like he had a tough one - the Tigers really tried to rattle him by sending runners through his channel all night. The former team-mate also told me that Brendan Malala was too old to play...

I wouldn't call BGS' an injury curse, more a captaincy curse... 2013: 7. Pat Morrey, total knee explosion. Did the lot in Round 2 2014: 13. Lachi Lanskey, shoulder. Out for season, in pre-season 2015: 13. Mick Wolstenholme, shoulder? Out for season in Round 2 2016: 7. Fraser McReight...

I'd consider giving the ball another polish. BGS' forward pack has the potential to be one of the competition's best. One of the biggest shortcomings over previous seasons was letting teams overpower them up front. The backline could do little but watch. This year I can't see any team...

Try tell that to Josh Coward, Jaydn Ngamanu, Joey Fittock, Kris Verevis, Oli Fison, Matt Forsyth during school. 80 kg isn't neccessarily too light, I was more concerned with Lucas' frame when 'playing' the not big enough card. Happily accepted that his size was 100% a non-issue after I did my...

What about Dom Pozzi?

And the award for the most ironic username goes to... Never did I even remotely suggest that having elder siblings be successful at rugby was a prerequisite to making the first XV, and even a marking criteria for rep selectors. I gave 25 examples of players with family backgrounds. Common...

I couldn't actually tell you which position he played the most at UQ. He definitely played games at fullback which was his most natural fit. Errors are part and parcel of his style of play though. I'm a forgiving judge - I didn't mind Quade Cooper wasting opportunities through errors as long...

I'm actually not arguing that every little brother/son/nephew ever be selected for Queensland - we don't have teams 1-15 named Smith for a reason. I'm actually just pointing out players with a family history of elite rugby tend to follow that path. Of course it's not limited to siblings, but...

Did some googling and didn't expect to find this! It turns out just about every flyhalf I looked at is between 176 cm and 185 cm, bar a few notable exceptions. Super Rugby Flyhalves Aaron Cruden - 175 cm, 84 kg Lima Sopoaga - 175 cm, 84 kg Beauden Barrett - 187 cm, 92 kg Richie Mounga - 176...

Before you start reading, I'm sorry. I clearly have far, far too much time on my hands. 1. JJ Taulagi is considered big enough to play Super Rugby. Murray is already bigger than JJ. 3. Having watched Murray a couple of times last year, and for maybe the last five weeks at Premier Colts, it...

I've had the chance to watch Murray Taulagi a lot over the last few weeks. Instead of training with State High for the preseason, he's been starting for University's finals-bound Premier Colts. He hasn't missed a beat and looks a totally natural fit in the U19 all star team. Given his...

I'd forgotten Tarabay. My concern for Lucas is size - I'm barely 6', and I recall towering over him when I umpired him in cricket in Term 1. He's got to be the smallest Lucas brother there is, so I'm envisioning another Matt more than a Tom or Ben. Amongst his competition, height/size is...

Also, the new monster prop at TSS is called Samuel Dobbs. He turned 18 in March, and as far as I can tell started at TSS this year - he was in Canberra finishing Year 12 in November last year. Here's his youtube clip - it is absolutely must watch: http://bit.ly/1P0wero Here is some light...
