I was referring to Wallabies games. I know he has the ability and does it at Super level. Actually quickly went back and watched the first half of last test. Had a couple of chances to pass to Kellaway and chose to go himself both times, the second one I feel he should have passed and every...

I totally disagree. Wright seems to refuse to pass. Watch his games for the Wallabies this year and he will take the ball himself almost every time. He has the ability, having played 10 in the past and 6 for Manly in the NRL. If he improved his passing game I feel he would hit another level as...

A tied premiership for both teams? ;)

2 GPS schools, BSHS and IGS. Not all AIC schools let kids go, State Champs clash with comp weekend and impacts AIC season. Could be an easy fix by having bye round in AIC for the State Champs. A large number of good AIC kids are picked up by AIC schools at 15 too so that also has an impact.

Good player but their 1sts and 2nds lost everything, U16 A's didn't win a game and only had two teams in that age group. 15A's were better beating ACGS, Downlands and Terrace. Terrace had at 6 player in the Met North team that weekend, BGS won 30-5 so might have won anyway.

Plenty do. Most schools in Brisbane GPS block them playing because they want them at 100% as winning the rugby premiership is good PR. BSHS is probably the outlier here. In QLD the pathway to rep rugby for most GPS and AIC schools is through the U18 rep program as the schools don't let players...

Can't see BGS moving to 5th, unless they have a large intake of Year 11 students.

It's not something that needs to be cost-effective, it should be looked at as revenue generating. QSAC is a terrible idea and would have a negative impact on the games and peoples perception of Brisbane. The Gabba will generate a lot of bad press, something John Coates is keen to avoid, it also...

Because he had a broken arm

I find this interesting. Joe has picked Wilson when available. When he was with Ireland he had CJ Stander as his 8 for most game, Wilson offers a lot of the same.

Even post schooling a lot of players who know they won't make the NRL or Q Cup will go play colts rugby. The culture is better and they can enjoy a more social game. The junior league games are cut throat as most players are after a contract.

Can't see L Wright coming straight back in, especially at the expense of Wilson, the current captain. While he was good before the injury I don't think he'll push for a spot in the starting 15 on tour.

I'd say a 2/4 tour result is a pass. We need to be improving and that involves taking scalps of teams above us. This would also be on the basis that we are competitive in the other two games. I'd like to see more development in our attack, we are starting to see some clever options and that...

I think the best thing we could do is walk away from NZ and have a local comp. It would gain more interest than Super Rugby and RA would have total control over it. Then it wouldn't matter as much if players went OS as it would only be a few and the Australian teams wouldn't be smashed by the NZ...

If they open up selection without restrictions I think Super Rugby would die. A knock on effect could be that our pool might diminish as if you have Pacific Island heritage and you align that country you could earn more money, I'm pretty sure there is a EU and PI free trade agreement. We could...

A few interesting roles in GPS schools currently advertised. Head of Rugby at BBC Head of Rugby at ACGS Director of Sport at GT

It'll never happen. They don't have the facilities for corporates. Would be good for some preseason games, they do need to make sure they have enough staff on though. Can't have people waiting for half the game to get a drink.

It's challenging for them as they probably sit at the 3rd XV level but with SPLC not having seconds they needed to move up. Hopefully the next Head of Rugby at Peter's manages to have numbers in the opens for two teams and ATC can play at their level. Following on from that, does anyone know...

Can start getting interested in the 2025 season now. A few schools start training in the next few weeks. Any predictions, players to watch, new coaching teams.

They're definitely not easy to beat, I think we will definitely lose one of the games, just that we have the ability to beat them in a game. It wasn't until the 2000's that we one a series there from memory. Tough place to go.
