I haven't done any fantasy stuff for quite a while, which positions are the ones to stack with quality? Until all the teams are released I'm not finalised, but I've invested a lot in the back row, outside backs, and at hooker. Any tips?

TSS First XV Highlights https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=679730122120716&set=vb.620614248032304&type=2&theater

Well, looking at the 26 man Reds squad for 2014 listed on their website, Anthony and Saia Fainga'a (St Edmunds, Canberra), Dave McDulig (Riverview), Lachie Turner (Newington), Beau Robinson (Bathurst), and foreign developing JJ Taulagi (Auckland Grammar) were developed outside of Queensland. Of...

Not Emtage's idea but Ron Cochrane's, the director of sport at BGS. BGS' director of Rugby, Justin Carroll, left the school in 2012. Instead a hiring a replacement, the school allocated his old responsibilities to Ron, and spent the positions salary on hiring new coaches with incredible rugby...

I'm nobody, I promise. I was actually referring to the guys that Brisbane Grammar have on the payroll, not Ipswich - I made my point to contrast the two schools opposing points of view towards selecting/hiring coaches.. Funny that neither have won a game at First XV level yet, despite the...

It's funny to compare the coaching standards of the two schools you've mentioned. The grammar schools of Ipswich and Brisbane have completely disparate views. I'm currently coaching the Grammar 16C/Ds, and each Wednesday afternoon we're visited by a guest coach. Last week it was former Fijian...

It's been an issue ever since you left mate, BGS just haven't been able to find someone who could replicate anything Greene could produce. Sly at 10 was a nice idea, but like you said didn't have the skills to execute. He's always played his best footy at 15 with a bit of extra time, so he'll...

NC 20 d BBC 5

State high pinned them in their half after halftime, grammar couldn't get out with a heavy northgate wind blowing against them. BSHS just got too much possession in the attacking 22 in the end, unfortunately for my tipping. I think I've just blown my chance to win it

FT BSHS 28 BGS 19

BGS BSHS HT: 19-14 to BGS :)

BSHS 7 BGS 0 after 5. I've made a huge, huge mistake :(

I'm changing my tips, BGS at home will win a thriller against State High! BGS seconds destroyed BSHS, and without front line stars Liam McNamara, Enokka Kalupou, and Matt Sautia BSHS just haven't got enough firepower to overcome a BGS defence that's proven to be good under pressure (I know how...

In other news, in case anyone on this forum hadn't seen the GPS match reports from last week, here were the writer's tips for the week ahead: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/qld-gps-r2-learning-count/2/

I've been saying the same for a while now - make it transparent and it won't be an issue. However, I'll play the devils advocate - let's say a school brings in say 5 new boys to year 9, knowing perfectly well that only 3 will be able to play that year. Meanwhile, these extra 2 players are...

Has the Tuuga at hooker experiment been dropped? And surely it's unlikely that they're dropping Maloulou from 6 if he's captaining the side!

It really pisses me off that you've seen fit to repost this after the moderators deleted it last week. I've checked out your account, and you've been a part of this forum for a month, with 4 posts - 3 of of which have been to bag a player, and the fourth revealing the CSS team, of which that...

Yes, me too...... But in all seriousness, BBC have shown that their brand of footy compares well to Nudgee's. Last year a single pass proved the difference between the two sides.

My example was meant to highlight that this sort of thing has been going on for years, if the NRL laws regarding the signing of teenagers has changed since then I wouldn't know, it's not my area of expertise. Do you know of any under 18s (13-16 specifically) from this competition that have...

You'd hope not, for a bloke that didn't pan out well at all. It'd be a tough gig dishing out "contracts" in any sense of the words to 13 year old kids. Work ethic, growth, maturity and intelligence can be pretty tough to predict.
