I think it's great to have some unition amongst this forum. What do we think is the game of the round this week? Me personally I recon the Presbyterians v the Roman Catholics will be a great matchup at Gaza.

What I meant to say is you need to find some young super-stars before they get offered scholars at competing schools.
Didn't mean for it to sound weird apologies.

Young Minds, can't take a genuine statement seriously. the real talent is in our younger age groups, future of the game..

Thanks for the shoutout LCF.
Boy I love this forum. And I would be happy to talk to the nudgee lads about setting this up. Does anyone know how to order a custom gazebo/ would anyone be interested in chipping in? I’ll chat to my NC contacts ASAP and get the ball rolling on this one.

13 of the squad is from NC 15A’s. You would hate to be the two that missed out.
Yes I noticed when I switched between a match at Churchie and Tennyson on the live feed that the Churchie field was noticeably greener and more lush than the Tennyson oval. Wasn’t sure if it was the camera work or the actual field but it really needs some work there as it looks like what the Nudgee flats looked like before they did the big upgrade a couple of years ago
State high have had a habit the last few years of knocking Nudgee off on Ross Oval and each time it cost Nudgee the Premiership. They are a tough proposition but Nudgee still have TGS and BBC to go still and these will be difficult games.
I’m hoping it all comes down to the last match as I believe this will be the blue ribbon rugby event in Australia for 2024 as nothing else will come close to this. The Reds and Wallabies of course aren’t offering any special moments presently and local club rugby is suburban at best. Shore v Joeys in Sydney as well as the Shore v Riverview could mount a credible argument that those two matches were the two top matches of the year. The Shore grounds are magnificent but it looks a little “new school” with its modern, set back, AFL style grand stand, and it’s not surrounded by the school buildings which I always find doesn’t hold the same atmosphere as when it’s held inside the grand old buildings reflecting the old school classical origins of rugby. Sport and academics should never be separated, they are both equally integral to a lad’s education, resilience of course being the most important ingredient to a successful life both in business, career, family and mental and physical wellbeing when one leaves the school gates. Let’s see how it plays out, but for me, the best matches I’ve ever witnessed were when Grammar defeated Nudgee on Ross in the last game of the season to give Grammar a much deserved Premiership, as well as the final game v TSS when Josh Flook managed to ground the ball to give Nudgee the win just before the bell. The Paul McLean kick from the side line after the bell against Grammar in 73’ was also apparently a classic but well before my time.

Plenty to go still this season and BBC, State High and Nudgee all with a great chance.

Tusi is a proper good player, just isn’t quite ready for First XV, he’ll be one to watch next year however.

Now lets get to business, it appears that there is lots of speculation around both the IGS vs Churchie game and the BBC vs GT game. I'm curious to know what everyone thinks. It appears GT 10 Sam McGahan will not be returning this week, unless my sources are incorrect. This could be dangerous for Terrace but who knows. Games at Tennyson always go down to the wire. Now the real chat IGS vs Churchie, this game is going to be wild. Two underrated teams going be a great battle. Now @Quick_Tap_Tony I'm aware that you don't make judgements of games before team lists are out. But could you please make an exception for me here, being a schoolboy yourself, I want to hear what all the young lads are saying about these two games.

He has admitted to it, boy have you missed quite some time. Despite his age his maturity has proven much beyond his years and deserves to talk in this forum much like any of us. Also he can get me the inside gossip
