Or, use the extra time to organize a game with the winner of the AGPS. Won't happen I know.

True. I look forward to the coming season and another year on this forum especially with the old salts such as yourself. Good spirited banter keeps this forum ticking. Good luck to everybody this year, and we will all see how many words we have to eat at the end of the competition. God knows I...

Yeh..nah, you might be over thinking things. BBC played better on the day at Ross and won. End of story.

Disappointed with your disappointment in "The Season" Garry. Sure it is a not-so-subtle marketing tool for the schools involved, and we all have our own bias regarding schools which affects our judgment. But thank goodness someone is doing something to get quality Schoolboy Rugby out there...

Rumor has it they are filming "The Season" with TSS this year. Anything to that?

My thoughts... The first round bye, then a match vs Nudgee at Nudgee will not help Southport in any way. They will cop a loss from their first game of the season (which will be very satisfying for NC after 2019). Unpredictable upsets aside, from that point, NC should roll on unbeaten (though...

Round 1, July 18

Off topic again, but I recently found out about Sri Lankan Schoolboy rugby. Good stuff, impressed with the crowds, play, and coverage

Jeez I hope not but I wouldn't be surprised. I live in Seattle and work in the school system. All schools are now shut down and won't be running again until April the 27th at this point, but who really knows.

Apologies, I did not intend that to be a disparaging comment about facilities, more as a compliment about some of those characteristics you mentioned. I spent a couple of years in the PSA system in Perth (GPS equivalent) and the two Catholic schools in that comp generally punched above their...

A little of topic, but I have always found it interesting how Catholic schools seem to be a bit more competitive and successful at sports in general, especially since I never attended one. I always imagined is was a more "Spartan" experience.

Crikey, I think the SAS have lower dropout rates.

Hard to say. Some good players coming through. NC, TSS and BBC probably have their 10's locked in. I don't think we will see any star flyhalves scoring a ton of tries themselves.

I'm with you all the way. I'm just a little superstitious and no point firing up the opposition by underestimating them. That was a good decider with NC and Grammar a few years ago. Didn't a cow run onto the field at some point? The Sam Greene "you step mom is hot chant", and the flipping off...

The Ippy number 8 looked dangerous and big last year as a 16 year old I think?

I think, and actually hope, some of us, myself included are already crowning next years champs or title game. As a BBC old boy and a fairly long time and annoying forum member, I want them to win, but hopefully it will take more than a couple of rounds to see which 1st XV is really firing next...

Disagree. They had a kicker who they considered best for the occasion. Just didn't work for them on the day, call it the yips or whatever.

Agreed about doubletake, their work is very much appreciated. But if someone can get the game out to a broader audience, good stuff I say, and as a consumer I would pay to see it especially if it involved a larger than 8 game competition. Lets get the AIC and GPS seasons lined up along with...

I couldn't read the story as I am too cheap to pay for it. Can somebody fill me in? Can't be imports straight into senior year and the 1st XV can it? I thought there was an agreement on that between the schools.
