The BBC 9 is back as well and he is a very big number 9. The boy who would have played 9 but broke his ankle is back as well

Word out of BBC is that he heads back to Japan in April. Not sure if a full contract or a incentive contract. The boys say he was staying with JP Piertson and Berrick Barnes last time. Good luck to him he was bloody fit last time he went over. PS- what a fine honourable young man.They make...

Thanks King Looking forward to your game summaries again. The RL boys are one from Melbourne and one from Broncos(that went very very close to accepting/rugby l and swimmimg). Lets just say BGS will be much improved this year-and they also were going to once Mr Mooney got his feet under the desk.

well said sir. In NZ : 1) most the schools offer some sort of rugby bursary across many forms of comp; 2) unlike Aussie they play at the same time and the school comp is the main comp not club- so the school that goes to Japan every year is the national champ; 3) the school terms for sport are...

BAnd W is probably referring to the fact that for the last three years IGS have had 3 good under 15 teams but only 1 fairly weak under 16 team . some boys from year before would now be in firsts xv but where are the others? having only one 16 team will hurt you with injuries and that is...

Mate from his uncle & his godfather who I was with on the weekend and who I have known for 10 years. Maybe I got it wrong way round and it was the uncle that got transferred. Forget the semantics-great kid & lets hope great for Qld.In fact I met the boy 2 years ago at a BBC match & he was...

Anyone see the under 20 curtain raiser at Ballymore on Saturday night? How did Ngamanu and other 2015 GPS stars go?

Been a bit of talk from BAG and others about rowers losing bulk for rugby. Obviously BBC does not see that as a problem.Went to Rowing on Saturday with nephew &: 1) in the first viii (that won) and 2nd viii on Saturday are 3 certainties for 1st xv(having been in it last year) and 3 certainties...

Looks like an interesting year this year, with BBC and TSS the frontrunners. BBC with Ikatu (Aus Schools) and Simpson (Qld Schools) returning for another year of grade 12 should really bolster their team. Don't Forget Sean Farrell -Qld 2 last year is also back(grade 11 last year) He also only...

and all the sunshine coast boys are back - some with younger brothers.That boarding house is about 1/3 full of boys from Sunshine Coast ,Bundaberg and PNG Lots of Little Willie Genia's running -around in grade 7 and 8 . Good luck to them . they have worked hard on those connections and spent a...

Good to hear - that age group is going to throw up some outstanding match up over the next few seasons. BraveandGame, 11 minutes ago Report #178 I agree the GT defensive effort last year to hand that team its first and only loss in 2 years was outstanding. GT was a very very...

That would be "Van" H :

No They are back bigger better and faster than ever. One was miscommunication with the Broncos which is now fine. He is very happy. The other had a younger brother going into grade 8 that got an offer from GT that BBC could not/would match. But he stayed. I think the "Headmaster agreement" was...

I hear you, where are they going to play him - 10, 12, 13 and 15 are all up there with the best in their positions and the wingers have pace to burn. Good problem I guess except maybe for morale!! sorry -my bad. New boy from Broncos/Central Qld -is under 14. As for under 13 "the twins"...

Yes GT do have quality new boys arriving in13A including 2 brothers of BBC boys!Seems ToM B and his mate who coaches Qld under 12 primary schools RL team are very persuasive !! I hear the Broncos / BBC central Qld connection has delivered another quality under 15 boy to BBC ( but that team needs...

Do not know about a boy from Bremer. Only new boy is 6ft 6 one from Melbourne (that was always coming). I do know that front row of Prynce,Farrell (Qld 2) and -Yanopa (who played last couple of matches) are all back. We can all expect the usual influx of 17 year old RL boys from Nth NSW to turn...

Just a bit of a go to see what people thinkTSS / BBC 1-2 NC / ACGS 3-4 GT / TGS 5-6 BSHS / IGS 7-8 BGS 9 I actually agree with you but I see GT being ahead of ACGS. Note -BBC play TSS away but NC at home.

it will be same top 4 as last year but differnent 1st place TSS are favourites then NC and BBC and ACGS although i hear the 2 new 1st xv coaches at BBC will shock the system .

I must say you never let the truth or reliable stats get in the way of a good story! 4 returning year 12 boys, you name two in your post. Iona will tell you, no one is leaving to go to ACGS. Where you come up with this stuff ??????! 9 Henry ,12 Green & 13 Carswell were all grade 11. So I...
