Tennis Schmennis Jokes... It's a valid question as to whether everyone is playing or preparing for Rugby at the expense of other sports Nudgee , especially , had a pretty strong Tennis program 20 odd years ago but have lost the plot and it seems to only be a token endeavour these days If...

Albany Creek seem plenty strong in the 14's and 15's but don't seem to have as much strength in the U12's / U13's Anyone know why ?

Souths v Ipswich (U13) should be a pretty interesting match up as well. The Magpies will be fired and up and hungry for the win.

Great point . The margin for error can be pretty fine if the leg is getting hooked .

Lifting and the confusion of what is and what isn't is an issue in the Junior Ranks. So long as the boys stay down with their body drive after contact and don't release their hips and stand ....it's all good. 9.99 times out of 10 in this type of tackle the attacker won't tip past the 180 and...

RS ....What games did you catch ?

Rod Kafer has talked a lot about Folau moving to 12 to pair with Kuridrani which opens up the 15 spot. Is this what Cheika has in mind too which may open up some opportunity to Quade ? In any event ...I hate Nick Frisby at 10 - He's the logical successor to Genia at 9. At this stage and...

@Hound Good for BGS ! Churchie 12's ( U13 this year ) won 3 games last year ...not exactly a beacon of success ...or did you mean last year's 13's ( U14 this year )

And not just in U13 ....across all age groups . TB supposedly has charge over the entirety of recruitment. There may be some new fields that need to be ploughed however as existing fields have already been heavily plundered between U13 to U16 and there isn't a lot ( at least in SEQ ) that...

@ GSP - Don't you mean from Oakey SS to Terrace ?

What ? No Rowing Scholarships ? Whew! That's a relief. At least some things remain sacrosanct

Isn't it funny how the Circle moves ? Too much emphasis on Sport and not enough Academic chutzpah ? Turn the Sporting Taps off and dust off the Chess Boards Not enough Sporting Accolades ? Need to make a splash of relevance when boarding house numbers are down and bums on seats are at 60%...

So Tom Barker coaching the 13A's at Terrace huh ?

I don't see the big deal The reality is School Rugby ( and all School Sports at an elite level ) has become a lot more elevated in the demands that are placed on the student. It just makes sense for some who aren't geniuses or ruthlessly efficient at the age of 16 to spread the load over a...

And I wouldn't read much into the Met thing ...especially Met West when you consider the cupcakes that were in Ipswich's pool The other pool had Greenbank and Central with the Silvertails of Taylor Bridge And despite dismantling both of these teams there were only 6 boys picked for possibles...

Nothing like a bit of exaggeration BSHS has 4 players from last year's U12 SL team - 2 backs and 2 forwards Ipswich Grammar have one of the forwards Terrace have one of the backs With the exception of the shorncliffe lad the rest I am told are at Rugby League schools Insofar as...

Great Highlights Tashara - didn't look like much fun for the Riverside midfield

And I don't think last year's competition was that lopsided , in that , even in a lot of the games against Souths and Easts ( not all ) there were only result differences of a 1 to 2 tries Wynnum probably got belted the most consistently by big margins throughout the season . Kenmore had a...

@Iceman Hi Souths didn't beat Kenmore twice - they drew in the first round And apart from 1 or 2 shellackings that occurred ( mostly in the 2nd half of the season ) everything else was fairly even The transition to playing full field , full team Rugby in Under 12's is interesting . And...

Also ..are the majority of the boys dual Rugby / League boys or are they all pretty much wired into Rugby . If players are "dual" ....I think U13 is an age where its hard to pursue both junior development pathways especially when you take school sports into account (assuming they are playing...
