    ARU Junior Gold Cup - National Junior Championships

    Doesn't that belong in the AIC Thread ? And yes thumbs up for free speech ( including revisionist history for U15 Rugby games played 2 weeks ago for parents who still want to swing an axe with no prior reference when everyone else has moved on just because they're little Johnnies may not get...

    ARU Junior Gold Cup - National Junior Championships

    Well I haven't pumped anything about Ipswich or any of its players at all despite Two ( Rabid) Dogs drivel - but yes , White and Gold Coast would do Ipswich by 10 to 15 points IMO

    ARU Junior Gold Cup - National Junior Championships

    For mine I think the gold coaches ( whoever they are ) have done a helluva job In a short space of time they have managed both development and competitive progression There is a toughness to this Gold Team - and that's an attractive quality

    ARU Junior Gold Cup - National Junior Championships

    No one has Midas............well possibly with the exception of one of the other Brisbane Teams ( and to a lesser extent the other ) given that most were honouring the intent of giving experience to all Seeing / knowing the best of across all teams - White and Gold Coast are just better. And...

    ARU Junior Gold Cup - National Junior Championships

    @ Anthony Smith I cant see Gold get anywhere near White or Gold Coast in the Semi Finals Even moreso if WA prove to be better and win through Granted , White may struggle a bit in the set piece against Gold ( Gold Coast won't ) but in general play and ability to move the ball White , IMO ...

    ARU Junior Gold Cup - National Junior Championships

    @ CC - And you can add GC 15 to the exception list too Interesting that White Coaches played 12 at 10 for a while on Friday Night against Logan. Gold 12 has also been quite impactful all tournament and Blue 13 really showed his class yesterday ...so you never know Yeah ...I take your point...

    ARU Junior Gold Cup - National Junior Championships

    ^ Agree with all that WJMcB In terms of depth and class I reckon that most objective observers can figure it out Still , a little disingenuous perhaps , for it to be dressed up one way and applied in another Confusion in the proposition at the front end and on the way through because of the...

    ARU Junior Gold Cup - National Junior Championships

    FWIW I like the crispness of White Nudgee 10's passing game and he seems a bit more mercurial . White Terrace 10 really impressed me with his game management and control when he came on yesterday . Seems more an old fashioned 10 - and that's not a knock . In a game and across the age group more...

    ARU Junior Gold Cup - National Junior Championships

    2's and 10's don't seem to have run away stand outs ( from the rest of their counter part match ups at least from what I can tell ) Anyone got any views on this ? And any parents of 2's or 10's need not respond :)

    ARU Junior Gold Cup - National Junior Championships

    You'd have to expect GC will be ready to throw everything and the kitchen sink against WA on Wednesday. They got to use their back 3 a bit more once they get their opponent on the back foot And I don't mean their back row who seem to be stifling some ball movement when it's time to rip Their...

    ARU Junior Gold Cup - National Junior Championships

    Maybe not boilovers this afternoon but I will go with a couple of potboilers I'm sure the fair Prince will give that one to me . White and Gold Coast - helluva game. It promised to be the battle of the 7's and it was indeed a bell ringer with both boys stamping their mark on the game. White...

    ARU Junior Gold Cup - National Junior Championships

    Hard comparing year on year for the obvious reasons - and I will indeed eat my words with a side order of turd if WA win out I just think the odds are against them And I know full well the talent that is there being well familiar with the Jayden Ngamanu and The Raoren brothers having being...

    ARU Junior Gold Cup - National Junior Championships

    I'm calling White from Pool D and Gold from Pool C The winner of Gold v Blue on Sunday will likely determine Pool C and maybe not in the most just way. Pool C If Gold beat Blue and Ipswich beat Sunshine Coast by more than 15 (likely) than Gold and Ipswich will finish on equal points on the...

    ARU Junior Gold Cup - National Junior Championships

    Fabulous read. And 90% of it is bang on the money ( no pun intended ) The only things I would say from a Queensland perspective is that the Gold Cup doesn't interfere or take kids out of Clubs as he suggests , and further , it is likely a strategic response to things such as U15 Development...

    ARU Junior Gold Cup - National Junior Championships

    Probably both . + increased Acadamic loads and strong encouragement for boys to engage more fully ( and broadly ) within what the curriculum offers Nearly all seem to be wired into this - some more than others

    Or it may come down to pure arse on the day. Being such a keen follower as you are Your Highness I would expect you will be able to tell the arse from the elbow lengths in any post game analysis that we look forward to with great anticipation :)
