    Credit to BSHS last night though that kept coming with plenty of will. Not really a “ pretty game” and heaps of bodies in and around the ball made it hard for the most part to get pace and consistent opportunity in the outside channel - more of a bruising belt fest. Be some sore lads today.

    Accurate summation , however , TSS don’t have any great shakes at 10 , or at 9 , and would appear to be relying on U16 players as main strikes in their backline (with the exception of Samuela ) Additionally , the forward pack won’t provide much or any more power in the Collision than what High’s...

    Good thing then that they both started trucking them in from Grade 9 and onwards , otherwise , they may have beaten a couple of other GPS Schools who are now racing each other to an Opens 3rd entrant team within 3 to 4 years ( ala AAGPS Schools , High and Grammar) given the state of their junior...

    Maybe you could elaborate Bob ? It seems to me you haven’t read the article and /or understood it’s central assertion - and that is homer made kool aid is a one way ticket to organisational shitsville . This central assertion is entirely consistent with how Rugby businesses in Australia do...

    This is sort of a game changer. Focus now , I would expect , would be to demand affirmation / commitment to Rugby and earlier commits as what you have seen fairly recently with a couple of boys However , how sincere will it be , when in the competition you may be picking up what League...

    I'm sort of surprised that no one is talking about Australia's highest paid 17 year old rugby athlete that has just inked a deal with the Chooks equivalent to the GDP of Tasmania Right here in our little ol' GPS Competition Meanwhile , RA has passed the hat around and inked up its "priority"...

    Terrace might be able to beat BBC for a change (in recent history) Y'know some Educators feel that these are Schools and aren't to be hijacked as Sports Academies - especially Rugby Academies This is a shame as everyone has an Academy these days ........I mean its what you do ! And if you...

    Anyway ....re : the Terrace and BBC match up on the weekend I wouldn't say that BBC did it in a canter at all ( as was suggested by a previous poster ) Terrace were very willing in the early going with their 3 ( especially ) their 1 and their 11 and 13 leading the way. Undoubtedly the best 4...
