I think that @WHACKO_JACKO.GT is reffering to them winning against NC a few times in the younger grades?
Let me know if this is incorrect information as I am not trying to turn this into a 'fake news' forum.

U 11's, 12's, 13's, 14's, 15's, 5 straight wins. A narrow loss in U16's which was one of the best non 1stXV footy matches i have ever had the pleasure of watching. There is no reason why this GT team shouldn't challenge this NC squad until the dying minutes

@WHACKO_JACKO.GT would you say that the loss in the U16's was to players who had moved up to play in the 1st? As I am aware that there were a few year 10 and 11 boys in the 1sts last year?

Good Morning Jack,
I respect most of your posts and belive your knowledge is quite strong regarding the season.
However this is probably one of the worst predictions i have seen for this season.
TGS v BGS- TGS will clean grammar up, they were premiership contenders and have had a tough run. I believe they will be hungry for a win and with such a quality side they will most likely do so.
BBC v ACGS- Although Churchie have shown their potential, BBC are way too strong and will pump them.
BSHS v TSS- This round will definitely be the game to watch for round 5, BSHS making the trip to the shark tank will be quite the challenge as TSS havent lost at home in a couple of years. However with BSHS on an undefeated streak will be too much for the southport boys after their losses against BBC and Nudgee. Roman back in the starting line up will give BSHS a large advantage however UYS is sure to provide trouble for the south brissy boys.
NC v GT- GT have the pack mindset and are sure to give NC a good run for their money, however coming of multiple convincing wins i believe the blue and white will comfortably get the job done as they proved their strength against the TSS premiership contending squad. NC by 15+.
Thanks for your opinion Jack and i don't mean any disrespect by i just disagree with your tips for round 5. Id like to hear what the rest of the forum thinks about both of our predictions for this week.
Cheers GPS scout.
Is that under 15 game when they went uncontested scrums and picked 8 breakaways?

How About you stop trying to be a funny guy and chirp a well respected member of the forum @WHACKO_JACKO.GT, and actually talk footy for once mate. How your vulgar language hasn't got you banned yet perplexes me daily.

Agree Here - Although I am a NC Old boy, and am definitely backing them this week, this GT age group is one of the strongest we've seen come through the program thus far. I pick Nudgee in a close one. NUDGEE ARE YOU READY READY? YES WE ARE READY READY.
They might have been years passed but on the GT vs NC trial day GT didn’t win many games and if they did the margins were close. Whereas most of the wins by NC had a large margin.

Just been woken up in the middle of my sleep to spam notifications from the GPS forum!!
Why are we arguing and not talking about QLD GPS guys cmon, I know us footy players are like leather on the outside but nice and squishy on the inside.
Let's be respectful of each other and try not to wake me up after a long night shift.

That Qld u15 side is a joke, there is a kid in this side who has been playing in his schools 15'B side. We know of a kid who goes to school in Qld but plays club rugby in Northern NSW, he couldn't for some reason (most likely not chummy with the selectors/coach) make the South Coast u15 side yet has just been selected in the Waratah u15s side. I'd suspect that just like last year the Waratahs will blow this Qld side away.

RR’s round 5 predictions
BGS vs TGS - TGS are low on confidence, BGS will be primed to steal a W here on home ground after a solid narrow loss against GT last week. Putting my balls on the line and backing the BGS boys in by less than 7
GT vs NC - NC will be too strong but the GT back row will ensure the boys in black and red are competitive. NC by 21+
TSS vs BSHS - form guide says State High but I feel the TSS boys are a different beast at home. TSS have to address their defensive frailties particularly in transition when they turnover ball. If the TSS boys make this a set piece dominated match and play a boring territorial game on the back of this with their kicking I feel they can give State High their first loss for the year. Goldie’s kicking will need to better this week, I feel the talented TSS 9 has been a little bit off his best this season and it has affected his team’s fortunes. I must be bored, I’m backing the boys from TSS by 7+.
ACGS vs BBC - I believe both teams are carrying some niggles to important personnel where I believe the bench will play an important part in determining the result.
Churchie’s bench pales in comparison to the BBC bench and as such, I believe the Highlanders from the Wong will eventually win by 14+ over the Vikings East of the Bane.

Yes fair assessment, but can't use that as an excuse. Final score is the final score.

Mate this is the kind of excuses that U16's could have made last year, but there was none.

Do you think the Rugby Australia rules are their for a joke mate. Neck injuries are a dangerous part of the game and if you wanna take the mick out of them then you aren't just a poor footy fan, your a poor bloke. i have seen plenty of serious neck injuries in my time of watching footy, and i can tell you it is heartbreaking. GT did the responsible thing in this case and went uncontested. DO BETTER

Mate where do you live if you are only just waking up? Or did you just have a big night so you had to catch up on some sleep ahhaahah. Happened to the best of us, KFC always did the trick for me.

Real talk though, if there was a GPS rugby video game, and there was only one player in the comp allowed to be a 99 overall. Who would your pick for this prestigious number be??
Don’t try and sugar coat it! Your telling me that there wasn’t 3 boys out of the whole 15 age group that weren’t FRR that day. If that’s the case what the hell has the GT program been doing whilst these boys have been at the school? Also if that’s your take, then why don’t we have uncontested rucks and malls, scrums are at least done in a controlled manner???? Rucks people are flying in my everywhere!
