More like a Gift Horse - and even if we tried to kick it in the mouth we would have missed

Agree with Thompson and sort of agree with Vella - but they needed a bit more from him , Pasitoa and Nofoagotoa with the game on the line and camped out in the red zone - especially with a man down. And thats an absolute credit to BBC’s defense - especially Howarth’s defense outwide when they...

8 especially is an absolute animal. Can’t believe he missed QLD 15’s

Yeah next year. For sure. But they’ll probably have to do it without Howarth. But we’ll see I guess. I hope he's back - not so much for his sake but for a lot of other player's benefit , and yes Lute , he seems more suited to League . However , his out and out athletic advantage , is like...

Nudgee also threw 3 x lineouts away today in the red zone and off penalty advantage in the first half with the wind at their back . Massive factor in the result . But Howarth was immense in the first half and it was clear Nudgee had no answer for him. Hats off to BBC’s goal line defense in...

Oracle m’boy , just to correct your context in referencing what I said ....I said , in a couple of spots The BBC defense is very good , so good in fact , it has managed to carry some poor defenders against bum teams that haven’t been able to take advantage. I just don’t think that cuts it...

The truth of it is ......is that the competition is basically a 3.5 team competition and the gap between that and the rest is getting wider and wider . You can't take bumslayer games and think that's proof of anything - teams who knowingly carried imperfections or deadwood dressed up as hubris...

Paper thin in a couple of spots unfortunately. You can't play with 1 to 2 players down ( in effect ) and expect to beat the top teams. Defense and composure cost against TSS - more than the kicking that the casual observer simply hung it on. And then of course there is the lineouts and...

^ I don’t think anymore is arguing the right of a player agent to exist But it seems only one is on the nose

Seems dumb business to me to piss in the cheerios of the Reds and RA - and get blackballed. Would think by by extension , other franchises would follow suit . Not an issue , as reported , surrounding the 14 other agents the Reds deal with in what Wayne Smith referenced in his article . So go...

What a load of shit

The realities are : 1. A kid still at School doesn't need an Agent. 2. In 99% of cases an 18 or 19 year old playing Club who may be good enough to be playing Colts 1 to possibly 18 Academy to possibly U19 NRC doesn't need an Agent Anything beyond that ? Depends on the individual and...

The kicking myth continues.

I hear Fielding is Brisbane bound next Term

I would have thought IGS's Xavier Stowers is a slam dunk at 8. Shouldn't be interesting at all. Probably he and ACGS's Max Craig are the only U16's forwards that have actually stood up in GPS First XV competition this year and not only held their own but had decent impact

Don't they say the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing and getting the same outcomes but still expecting a different result ?

Careful Shanky. We saw how Affirmative Action for the sake of Affirmative Action panned out for the Springboks in recent times. Not sure how it works precisely in NSW ( if that is where you are from and where you draw your perspective ) but Schools pretty much chicken hawk junior league and...

I actually agree with you Shanky ( as to intent ) but I would point out two basic observations 1. The majority of the most dominant GPS Rugby programs , and even AIC programs , have had the benefit of boarding houses that not only accommodate Country QLD boys - but boys from all over Australia...

Pretty rough on Syris Schmidt and Kaleb Ngamanu if they were available. I mean ......they are only a GPS Opens premiership winning midfield BBC’s Peron Faimolo also a notable omission A bit tough on the Terrace 16’s with only 3 players included - where their predominately senior led , 1 x...
