Doubtful. The best AIC team playing their best rugby at their peak of their season would be lucky to get within 20 points of a GPS team at the same time. Not impossible to win or come closer and not a slur on AIC teams/schools, but it is a different arms race

I get it though...BBC has pretty much gone professional with their recruiting. I understand that they don't want to lose players they pay for to injury in an outside game, but the downside of this is that the players that they are getting are already committed elsewhere. A shame, but that's the...

Great thread. Is it fair to say that they are the only two SH Nations on the planet where Rugby Union has traditionally been the number 1 sport. It never has been in Oz and never will be.

Light.. I agree. You replace them by improving the rugby culture and program as a whole from 13a's and up, which is something that I think you will see that if you tabulate the last 2 years, BBC is in the progress of doing. BTW, always have appreciated your posts so please don't see my comments...

W Nobodies worried... Just responding to an earlier post about whether BBC should be optimistic or not about the next few years given the state of their program.

"I'd be more worried if I was in BBC shoes, they really emphasised this year as their premiership opportunity but were not unable to beat a spirited Terrace side or a solid NC side that stuck to the basics." On the contrary, I don't think BBC should be worried at this point. In the last couple...

Yes a massive loss. The already solid BBC forward pack could have been an absolute nightmare for other teams if he was playing. Shame for Junior as well, though everybody can make mistakes especially when young. I hope he has a great future and we see plenty of him playing representative footy...

Yup...can we ban him now?

I'm not trying to be disrespectful to Downlands, but I don't recall the Downlands fixture as being a highlight on the GPS calender. I am sure the opinions of current Downlands students will be fairly predictable. The opinions of GPS students may differ somewhat.

I don't think it is a poor reflection on other schools that they don't play their first choice teams against Downlands at all, nor it is a mark of disrespect. The fact is that Downlands are not part of the GPS competition.

Agreed, I wish we had more than 3-4 auto picks and even they may be debatable to some.

Again.... Point. However this does not mean that it is not up for discussion.

Point..

Not great, but I can't think of an alternative out of the current squad. Maybe when Pocock is back (please hurry) we can burden him with the job.

Ye Yes, BBC still have tough games against IGS and BGS before TSS and could quite easily see what some thought was going to be a great year turn into a " normal BBC year" by the end of the season.

Y Yup I remember that year. GT were desperately hoping that BBC would beat Nudgee at Ross in the last round in order for them to win the premiership. GT had a bye so they all came out to watch.

Fire EM.... Bring on Jake!

Thoughts on Gunter for Bronson anyone? A huge loss or are they well covered?

Gold! Gotta say I'm really appreciating the good natured, tongue-in-cheek, yet well thought out predictions we are seeing on the thread this year.

Yup.......needs to be an organic kind of thing, not a stage managed production
