    Or off the field either. Well some do to be fair - depends on the individual. Re : BSHS .....being in the City with a multitude of options on the doorstep I am sure BSHS players will have a well decked out gym at their disposal. In fact , it will probably take them the same or less time to get...

    Pretty telling that they appoint a highly credentialed Head Coach/Attack Coach as Director of Rugby , when the previous Director of Rugby also had First XV coaching duties , and where , the current Head “Coach” (a short timer) is also a so called Attack Coach . Interesting also that a key...

    Ahhhh.....Chibba. Would have been perfect for this team right now.

    Reds 2020

    ^ I wouldn’t say that but it wouldn’t be unreasonable to assume 2 or 3 guys in the mix - ongoing , and off the back of, an increase in Rugby specific recruitment (by some QLD Schools) from a wider base beyond Northern Rivers Will be more guys like Thor with his origins over time too. And...

    Reds 2020

    A bunch of lads from Moree / Inverell to Orange and all the way back to the Central Coast and upwards to Northern Rivers over the last few years that have either just left or are just finishing up - some of which are now in the QLD pathway after having initially been identified and participating...

    And JOC (James O'Connor) ? TBH , I’d prefer JOC (James O'Connor) as our primary playmaker with a bit more room as a play creating 12 - which moreso positions either Stewart or Hegarty as a stand and draw /deliver 10, and in Stewart’s case , someone that can starch up that first defensive channel

    Gordon probably has the best kicking game (in general play) but the imbalance of the youth movement is part of the problem If / when Gordon Is ready I could see Lucas as more a bench spark to try and light up fatiguing teams down the stretch . Until the if or when Gordon is ready I’d plug the...

    Yeah I’m with you Bobby. But the question is do GPS Schools take credit for 18 months of development for a lot of these lads that are coming at 16-17 ? Depends on the School I guess and the quality of persons at DOR and Head Coach level. TSS and Nudgee are undoubted and a guy like Michael Lucas...

    To be fair , Rodda played juniors in Yamba - May have been identified in the Tahs system before IGS offered him a spot (not sure) There are a reasonable number of young blokes in QLD GPS Schools , more and more over the last 3-5 years that are coming through the pathways that could be more...

    Super Rugby Rnd 2 2020 Lions v Reds @ Jo'burg - Sunday 12:05am AEDT

    Let’s be honest .....the overall standard of play was deplorable . Nice “effort” defensively and something here and there that resembles desire but in terms of basic skill - catch / pass / kick and basic structures .....they looked like a bunch of half cut bums down the park. And it’s not just...

    Spot on in every respect. At this stage of his development he’s far and away the best physical specimen / athlete in the competition hands down , and I would dare say , in the top half a dozen across both codes at Schoolboy Level. But this physical dominance against weaker competition masks...

    I doubt TSS care . With respect , neither of these guys , are moves that puts BBC “over the top” Just depth moves. The funny thing is , in 2015 , TSS got gazumped with the most promising in their own back yard ( the Nerang Bulls ) with what would become the Senior Class of 2019. The still...

    @Phil Clinton Yes , credit where credit is due . And pants off to the young fella in doing what was asked of him. The chance signing / addition I am most encouraged by this season has been Hunter Paisami. Has really earned his stripes after some stellar QPR Form. Examples like this ( and...

    Nudgee took it out and thumped most by an average margin of 20+ points They got beat in 1 game ( by IGS ) and had one score games with TGS and GT though - which explains their dominance in big margins against all other teams. IGS went down to BSHS - who pretty much got handled against most...

    TSS will be interesting. I only have one forward returning ( Michael VDS ) which is a real worry. They do have Fifita, Schmidt and Ngamanu back in the backs . Genuine top line talent - but will they have enough in the forwards , and , will they have the same depth as Nudgee that have...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?edufilter=NULL&v=v5NhT9XoBRk Interesting A few funny things within ( like Marist being Top 20 ahead of Nudgee ,Kings , Scots most obviously but probably another half a dozen teams ( at least ) from other Conferences in Brisbane and Sydney and probably another...
