Next years State High team will be strong. I didn’t see many 16s games, but the 9/10 are both very good in that age group and will perform well.

Maybe they meant to say BBC could have won by more? I see NC wrapped up the title too in the seconds with what looks like an easy win by the score.

BSHS get up in a fine and tough game against Ippy. Massive improvement during the season, should be stronger for it next year with a few returning players and a decently strong 16A. Though something tells me that season could be decided by NC v TSS in round one. Will have to watch the replay...

I might change my tip for IGS v BSHS ... I mean Ippy should win, but really liked what I see amongst the State High lads this week. Could be another performance like that against TSS. BSHSby 3.

Nudgee v TSS - Nudgee by 21 BBC v Churchie - Churchie by 14 IGS v BSHS - IGS by 7 TGS v GT - TGS by 14

No worries mate. The post of mine you responded to was about selections, and you shifted that to personalities. If you really have an issue with a coach or staff member, then raise it with the school. The drop off rate from schoolboy opens to club is quite large normally anyway, and even bigger...

My Ish GO is this isn’t the place to come and throw mud at individuals such as coaches. I’m honest when I say no ones really complained around me about selections outside of the 10. Have they bagged the staff? Hell yes, but the GT team I watched lacked the talent to play better than they have...

Fire already lost? The TGS, BBC, and GT programs have all copped flack along the lines of selection issues and coaching problems. I don't think it's controversial to say that when you lose games you expect to win it's the stock standard approach to blame selections and the coaches. I always...

Given this is your 6th post, and 5 of them have been about year 11 kids playing in the firsts, I think I'll let this one go through to the keeper. I've said it previously here, with the results in the seconds you can hardly argue selections have been wrong in the firsts. Terrace folks might just...

My son is friends with current year 12 and 11 kids at Terrace, and they play club rugby together. Apart from the 10 position none of them have ever hinted there's much controversy in the selections, and most of the firsts are from grade 11 anyway. Given the results at GT, it would be hard to...

You would think if they chose Elekana and Bell over Siolo, they wouldn't change that next year. Would be interesting to hear why they went with Elekana as a rookie 10 in the firsts, and then Bell, when Siolo played 10 every year he's been at GT, and also made several club rep sides in that...

Can confirm, but I thought it was about 7 players. BSHS will be very strong next year. GT too have almost their entire team bar the half, 7, hooker, and prop coming back next year too. I heard a young fella who played 7 for the 16As was thrown in at 10 against Ippy on Saturday? How many times...

I know it’s not true, but officially State High don’t recruit.

BSHS win 24-19 Great performance from BSHS!

New Churchie v Nudgee - Nudgee by 30 Terrace v Ipswich - GT by 3 BSHS v BBC - BBC by 35 BGS v TGS - BGS by 14

As usual, the seconds have been a bit weird this year. Outside of NC, the rest have not always performed the way you think they should. Churchie and Ipswich case in point. I don't see NC losing to churchie at all, unless that team is suddenly full of players who haven't been there earlier in...

o_O ... and No Phipps? :D

I’d take the highest on that list with the best and most consistent line out throw, because those stats don’t measure a hookers performance. I’d also want to see other stats like percentage of dominant tackles, effective clean outs, metres after contact, error rate. All those stats above are...

I don't follow this as in depth as you all, in terms of all the individual players and names. But I got to the hooker in this team list and thought about the issues I've seen with selection in Australia in general. On this side of the ditch, Aussies seem to put too much emphasis on a players...

It’s actually pretty common when treating stats in this way. In teams like NC, TSS, etc, every forward has a high work rate and so it’s tough for an individual to accrue high individual stats.
