Just interested if anyone has a table of all age groups with wins/losses etc for 2014, like in the 2013 discussion. Would be interested to see whether MCA are on track for another rugby aggregate? Buggie, 55 minutes ago Report #729 My understanding is that Ashgrove has only lost 3...

Jason Tomane? Didn't know he was down at Jeeps. Geez they've done heavy duty recruiting at Colts level this year.

"Watched the whole game. Agree Cam Magnay very good, but the GPS No12 (sorry missed his name) did most of the damage in the midfield." Sorry, don't ask me why my quote function won't work on my PC. The GPS 12 would be Henry Devine? Devine's footwork is sensational, reminiscent of Brett...

I think the socioeconomic comment is uncalled for. Senior student at Marist is about $10,000 in fees, St Pats is $8,500/$9,000 these days. The secret behind this St Pats team is their new defensive coach. Jacob Raulini, the former Fijian halfback has come on board as per the request of Oxford...

Yeah pretty sure you're correct Galloper, Padua haven't either as well. Surely that would be on the Ashgrove players minds going into this weekend as well not wanting to be the first group of players from such a proud rugby school to lose to Pats. Might be unlikely but it would be fantastic if...

Am I correct in saying that Pats have never beaten Ashgrove at First XV level? I'm therefore curious about the form line being used by those suggesting that Pats will make history and win on Saturday (if they're serious). Have Pats won a pre-season trial? I thought SPLC gave them a touch-up...

Geez, some straws being clutched at there. Will Genia a league player? Cooper Cronk an import at Laurie's? There are exceptions to every rule, or generalisation, but are you telling me your imports are at BBC primarily for an education, or that they chose BBC over say Nudgee or IGS because of...

Carroll (10) from Iona was in Qld White as well?

You could well be right about the attitude of some of the BBC imports last year, I didn't see much of them and wouldn't know, but my point is that not many league-playing kids with NRL aspirations are going to be satisfied or happy with playing 8 games of footy (plus trials) per year.

Do you really think guys like Wilkins are at BBC for an education? That they owe any allegiance to the school? My personal experience is that if you stop these kids playing league, i.e.those from a league background with league contracts, you will lose them immediately. Just as the school is...

Yes I acknowledged that I forgot about him, and replied with that it would be between him and Kenric Felu for the AIC 1 #15 Jersey Setu will be the first player picked for AIC 1, and I have little doubt he will make Qld Schools 1 as well unless injury intervenes. And I'm not an Eddies...

I saw Clifton Setu play for Qld Red 16's in Sydney last year, and he was probably best on ground. The kid's a star, I can only assume he's knocked back scholarship offers from Nudgee, Churchie etc.

GPSGPSGPS I'm not sure why my computer won't let me quote, but your post in reply to mine was fair and reasonable. It's all good. After all, we Jeeps guys have to stick together! It should be fascinating to see how the GPS comp plays out this year, with BBC's performance being the most...

On a more serious note, how many of Iona's 2013 First XV are returning this year. I know of Carroll and Dingwall, anyone else?

That's a real shame about Sam Clarke, the guy's a bull so hopefully he makes it back for a crack at Colts next year. So it seems now Jeeps have lost both Clarke and Maclean Jones for this year (although I assume Jones might be able to play later in the season). Jones, Clarke and Rodwell...

Didn't Bro.Cyprian establish the Maristonians at Toowong which eventually evolved into Wests? So the story goes TT, to prevent Ashgrove Old Boys playing for the dreaded (Christian) Brothers. I think that's right but have no personal knowledge. I can imagine that, at least initially, Cyprian...

Magnay's a great get for GPS, I saw him play for NC a couple of times and he's got a stack of physical potential - not too many wingers or 13's would be keen to mark him. I was told by some NC people that last year was the first year that Magnay had made an "A" side at Nudgee. If that's true...

I honestly couldn't tell you why Eales went to Brothers. My brother was in his year and as I recall a few other Ashgrove guys went to Brothers with him, including his best mate who went on to become President of the club at about age 30. Don't forget that Eales was not a rep player at school...

FilthRugby My recollection (and I was just a kid at the time so I could easily be wrong) is that Jeeps' move to Yoku Road in about 1977 was motivated in part by its proximity to MCA. At the time Ashgrove rugby was very strong, with most playing for Brothers on leaving school, but from 1977...

TheBigDog Apart from Devine (whom I really rate), I assume that there would be, as usual, a large number of MCA guys coming across the creek to play Jeeps Colts. Sam Clarke? This guy didn't have the 2013 season many expected, perhaps due to him carrying a shoulder injury, but he's someone...
