Final score BBC 46- BGS 17. Noel McLean scored 3 or 4 tries on debut. I hear Nudgee is up 39-15 with 2 minutes to go Ipswich leading TGS 17-0 at halftime

I've been approached to do a similar Power Rankings page for NSW. Once they've got their final end of season numbers we can accurately compare how good the teams are, and even give each school their interstate equivalent. Should be an interesting read. I believe there would be plenty of...

Thought I'd get a bit fancy with my tips this week, and lean on the back of the Power Rankings to see if they hold up. Nudgee vs GT Nudgee and Terrace have played roughly the same strength teams (0.470 and 0.419 respectively). Their Power Ranking only has a 1.2 point difference. Nudgee, on...

Would have expected a lot more rested players than that. TSS must be expecting a strong showing State high. very interesting...

Light, I knew that would be the case when I made the analogies, but I figured if I converted an NBA formula I might as well use NBA examples. And thanks for pointing out Nudgee's latest loss at Jack Ross - but it seems you are also incorrect. How could I forget the greatest First XV...

As much as I'd love for ^ to be true, I just plain forgot about Terrace. Of course they are contenders, I backed GT to trouble BBC if they got off to a good start, and I'm making the same prediction for this week. If Terrace can get points on the board early and pick up some momentum I'm certain...

You're insinuating Terrace is a contender..

http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/qld-gps-round-6-the-power-rankings-2/ I've just posted this article on the Schoolboy homepage, feel free to check it out. I've mathematically calculated the strength of each of the teams. It makes for some really interesting reading

Hey guys, just looking for some confirmation on injuries to Mack Mason, Nathan Russell, Evander Guttenbeil, and the status of Bronson Taukipulu. I've heard a rumour that Mason has a stress fracture in his back that requires surgery. I know Bronson missed last weeks game with a niggling...

Very true. I agree that the game must be played, when and where doesn't matter. Maybe even a mid-week game on Jack Ross during a lunch-time? It would definitely give the boys a thrill to have the whole school watching, a spectacle even if it's not exactly practical

The thing I find funniest about this whole 15A debacle is the number of Terrace posters climbing out of the woodwork to attack Nudgee for not playing a B team against them. I can just imagine the opposite noises being made if the shoe was on the other foot - Terrace parents would be screaming...

Not sure if it's just me, but it seems there have been quite a few injuries to the GPS boys in Aus A. Landon Hayes, Liam Jurd, Digger MacMillan (who just got back), and Evander Guttenbeil is struggling with an injury to his right arm if my sources are correct. He first injured it against...

BGS>IGS 24-17 Winning is a habit, and I don't think it's one IGS will start this Saturday. Not sure if Captain Landan Hayes is playing, but if he's not I assume the score will balloon out in favour of Brisbane. TSS>ACGS 33-15 TSS will be smarting and will look to unleash upon on upstart...

I apologise if my comment was interpreted that way, there was no way I was saying Gibbon was a bad person, or his gradndparents were bad people, his brother was a bad person, or anything offensive you could imagine I meant. If his grandparents are happy to pay thousands of dollars a year for...

I was at the game on Saturday and both 6 and 7 were relatively tall and lanky. Joel Brown, who played 8, is probably the one who's most built like Pocock being shorter and thicker. Plays with red headgear. Is that so? I saw on the TSS program that O'Connor was listed as a TSS old boy who...

"Gibbon goes to School three days a week and works as an electrician through a school-based program the other two... Former Far North Coast players Jake Lyon and Izack Rodda were also part of the Queensland Schools second team. Lyon is a Wollongbar junior and is now at the Southport School on...

If we take Schoolboy form over professional form, Higginbotham would struggle to make the team given he played 3rd XV and 1sts Soccer at TSS... At the same time I agree with the majority of your calls. I think Pocock was only a 12 in 2005 because Churchie already had 2 very good flankers and...

Thanks for the correction, and you're welcome for the elaboration. While we're on the topic, I was thinking the other day about picking a GPS side to hypothetically play a game. My list went like this: 1 - Albert Anae (IGS 2006) 2 - Steven Moore (BGS 2000) 3 - James Slipper (TSS 2007) 4 -...

That 2007 year had those Southport players, true, but the entire competition was stacked with talent. Jake Schatz and Aidan Toua were at Churchie at 2007, Matt To'omua was at BSHS, James O'Connor and Joe Tomane were both at Nudgee. The years previously had Rob Simmons (as pointed out), Quade...
