Have to disagree sageToo. When the schoolboys leave they usually go to different clubs. NC usually go to brothers but UQ draws from all the schools. Only have to look at the attendance of those 2 matches we are comparing and know which one is held in higher regard

Haha this bits funny sage because when ever I read a post in the GPS schoolboy rugby thread I hear the voice of a 15 yr old schoolboy talking himself up while he posts under a pseudonym. The school rivalries are great. I would put the GT vs NC rivalry ahead of QPR biggest grudge match in filth...

what takes priority in your household? Premier rugby or GPS schoolboy footy? Lot of the same posters in here lurk in the GPS rugby thread on GAGR. Seems like it’s more of a community over there in other thread. I’m enjoying having GPS schoolboy rugby in 3rd term because it doesn’t really...

Another name missing is Jordan Petaia. Probably going to Japan for the World Cup... but worth bringing to light considering JOC (James O'Connor) was named in those preliminary NRC teams (& JOC (James O'Connor) is almost certainly off to Japan too) Petaia is suppose to be making his long awaited return to rugby this weekend if...

What’s with Jeremiah Lynch named at lock? He’s the best backrower in that team not named Fraser McReight. I’m just hoping from Brisbane city a new head coach.. heenan is biased to his UQ cattle.

Ben Lucas? Surely not. Father Time caught up to him and he did not look deserving of his spot in the matchday 23.

Gotchya Jets Think the 10 position comes down to what happens with Hegarty. If he’s resigned and wants to play the position then it will be his. If his resigned but wants to play fullback then there will be some planning involved at 10. Hegarty starting season as fullback switch to 10 and...

I don’t think he will be 10. He has spoken recently to rugby Australia about preference of playing 12. Is there any 12 in Queensland rugby keeping himself out of his preferred position?

Thought it was a given but yesterday Reds press release it was blank where senior club was.

So wests pathway is a bonus point victory and easts losing their next 2 games? What’s the tiebreaker when teams finish on same competition points? Assume total wins is stronger tiebreaker then fir&against?

Exceptions are usually giving to injured players returning for finals who hadn’t played enough games. If the ARU wants Magnay playing club footy then it should be with the province he is signed too. I honestly don’t care if he comes back. I like seeing pro players returning to their grass...

Very exciting development that one. Before Ben Mowen was a superstar he was grinding his craft in Brisbane club rugby. Good to see him come back to where it all began.

This is incorrect. Hunt had a contract with reds, he was just asked to not show up to ballymore for reds training.

He won’t be playing finals. Mark Chisholm played 4 rounds for the bulldogs in 2017 and was not granted an exception. Why would Magnay get a exception with less games? I honestly don’t like the rule. Just foreshadowing what QRU will do.

Sefa Naivalu playing 15 for Norths this weekend. Easts will have their hands full with a prospect such as that coming back to clubland.

Hamish Stewart preliminary named for the breakers on rugbyxplorer. Is this the week where we see the Reds return in full force for their respective club? I think I saw something online about a contingent of reds up north at a junior rugby carnival?

Thanks Frotter I will take that weekend as it really helps Wests chances if Easts & UQ drop their matches. I think brothers is due for a loss... but if they put 40 on the students then I’ll be doing cartwheels.

I think Uni makes the Top 4. The Queensland Reds have served their mandatory post super rugby break. The cavalry is coming to save the day. Their biggest match will be defeating Brothers but I think UQ is good enough to take care of GPS (who haven’t looked like world beaters in recent weeks)

We are out of it Jason. Mathematically there maybe a chance still, realistically it won’t happen.. I think the dogs biggest problem this year has been too much youth! It’s great for the future. It’s not great for the here & now. Is there any regulars in that team over the age of 30? Idk...

My belief is you go out and resign the absolute stars like your Kerevis or amcDermotts For the rest of the squad... unless there is a glaring weakness at a certain position of depth then you allow the playing group battle it out in NRC a and see which current players excel over their club...
