"digest it, mull over it, and that would have to be one of the lamest performances from a Nudgee 1st XV in a very, very long time. To show my age their scrum had more reverse gears than an Egytian Tank,surely it's got to be a record number of tight heads by Churchie, I knew NC scrum relied on...

Now that's an interesting assessment. ACGS must have just had a lucky day then. You really do think that's objective and balanced? Like ACGS really played little part in gaining a 20 point win over NC at their famous home fortress, that happening so often of course? The same NC team that Sage...

Actually quite an interesting question re: rugby league players or rugby league clubs paying for scholarships in GPS schools. It's great for the kids, good for the school perhaps & the opposition (having played these guys). But the real question is where is the benefit for rugby long term? And...

Well said Realist. Agree with everything you said. Realdeal, think I/we have had heard enough of your opinions for a lill...lol!

Maybe after this round we could get some updated predictions for the season??

As a sideline Interesting info coming through MARIST AShgrove is playing league in 2016.. Looks a bit like the QRU ignoring their grassroots? Who's asleep at the Wheel there. LIKEATIGER, Yesterday at 10:48 PM Report That does not surprise me. There are quite a number of kids playing GPS Rugby...

“They said they’d never make it”, but the boys from the range weren’t listening to the pundits as they eked out a 33-31 win over their more fancied Churchie rivals (ACGS). There was a fair sized crowd at East Brisbane on a wonderful winter’s day to watch if Churchie were going to be real...

I lost my program as well. Sure about the NC guys; don't know of the BBC listing. Team list FirstXV BBC v NC 1.Christensen 1.J Ireland 2.Yanopa 2.B Schoupp 3.Foulds 3. G Luka 4.Swain 4. J Dalle Cort 5.Hope (?)5. D Verryne 6.Middleton 6. K Meni 7.Farrell 7. T Zappala 8.Gunter 8. R Hewat...

Just a brief note on the NC performance over the last two weeks. The #2 & #9 have had an outstanding time of it. The #2 Blake Schoupp showing courage in defence, throwing the ball in the line out almost perfectly every time (YES, finally a #2 that can do it!!!!!), scrimmaging well; even taking...

Great game between Churchie and TGS on the weekend! Toowoomba's #15 stood out with 4 tries and saved just as many in a man of the match performance. Ashton Watson did well to control Sua even though he crossed for 2 tries i think Watson held him well giving the reputation he has. Hamish Stewart...

Finally I would like to thank Mr & Mrs Appleby for their contribution on the weekend. It was brave and raw, and above all made quite a few people in the audience (players included) take note that rugby is only a game and that life is the most precious commodity of all! For those that were not...

On the back rowers...... I think NC has the best back row. They run hard, they tackle well, they hunt well, they jump well, fast to the break down etc. All these skills were on show on the weekend, probably the best they have played as a unit. Next I would rate Churchie, even though I think...

King like your take on the NC backline? They are unusual aren't they? They seem to be going slow but it's really quick; the first try was a great example, with the BBC #15 not even coming close to tackle the try scorer. I jested to some of them (NC backline) that the opposition need to bring a...

As I have previously mentioned the draw will be critical and just not who is played (for that is the same order every year, once removed) but where it is played. I still think NC has the best draw. Whilst they have the holy trinity (BBC, Churchie and TSS) coming up, it is where they are being...

King, it was the pressure that was telling for the NC v BBC game. Rugby is essentially a game of pressure and how an individual and teams cope with that pressure. It you have good technical skills and experience then you will be able to cope with the pressure dished out and probably win the...

5 rep boys.biased selections!!! Blue white blue bluewhiteblue, Saturday at 5:52 PM Report No bluewhitblue it is not biased selection. After watching the GPS trials, the Queensland trials and the Nationals the people selected were the best available. The important word here is available. The...

King I did watch all 4 games and actually watched 3 of them twice. I understand where your coming from but whether they stepped, swerved or "scythed" for the tries, I am fairly unsure of. What I'm not unsure of is the score line, the comments made by BGS players and parents afterwards and what...

My predictions for this week: NC v BBC: Nudgee by 8, though it is BBC's grand final and ALL the injuries for both sides! ACGS v TGS: Churchie will just grind them by 10 TSS v IGS: IGS remind me of Argentina, plenty of good aspects but just can't put it together. Unfortunately they are...
