My “Quick Tips” of the week - currently on work break so don’t have time as usual

Nudgee vs BBC
GT vs BSHS
IGS vs BGS
TSS vs ACGS

Game of the round - NC vs BBC - BBC will look not as strong in the scrum without Clifford but will have more spirit in them IMO. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, this game will be won in the second half.

Let me know your opinions team,
Cheers.

Hi all,
sorry I've been unactive on the forum. I was diagnosed on Sunday with Lung Cancer so had to catch up with the family. Anyways I'm keen to be back and hear some predictions for the round. How are my GT boys travelling for this week. And anything big heading into NC vs BBC I'm excited to watch this game.

Cheers,
Rugby.Jacko

 

[Brian O’Driscoll]

Sorry to hear that mate.

 

[The Blin6side]

If your serious here mate, God Bless… Me and my family will be praying for you. To answer your question GT have called up Xavier ‘Cooza’ Coorey at #1. NC vs BBC, is shaping up to be a massive game. And for me personally TGS vs DC, is going to be a battle for the ages…

All the best mate - positive thoughts and determination will help the journey.

Highlanders and Romans teams looks similar to last week.

Based on last week I have some hope for BBC but understandably in the minority there. Their fitness looks good, forwards run with incredible leg drive and have great a very talented run on bench. Nudgee are Nudgee, always strong and hard to beat.

The school that drops too much ball, gives away penalties and fades in last quarter will lose.

Sorry but I can’t see terrace beating the Roman inspired state high team.

all the best mate

Anyone know how likely GPS games are to get cancelled/postponed due to the Extremley hot forecasts for this round.
I believe the GPS rule is if temps reach over 35 on Saturday games must be cancelled.
Can I get some clarification on this?

Think extra breaks are being implemented and increased sub rotations

 

[TheRugbyCyclist]

Cheers mate - talked to contacts and believe the rules are:
26-30 degrees is mandatory water breaks at 1/4 and 3/4 time
31-35 degrees is 10 minute reduction in game time to less than 60 mintues (for 1sts)
36+ degrees is game cancelled.

Does anyone know the Pitbull's diet? I'm trying to make my son like him he is only 10 but I want him to look hit and chop like the one and only Pitbull if anyone knows please let me know.

Look not sure if this is completely true, but supposedly he eats 20 dry weetbix and a cup of cement for breakfast.

[bigmoneybrown]

Im itching for these last 2 rounds. Feels like grand final footy is here gentlemen. What a time to be alive. God I LOVE FOOOOOTY

 

[Wayne Bennett 2ndMarriage]

Just put the kids to bed I’m pulling an all nighter I can’t sleep I’m too excited for tomorrow.

 

[WHACKO_JACKO.GT]

Hey gents
News from ACGS, Pritchard will play. Therefore, Churchie will win this game. Blanch to have a blinder in his last game for the school.

Are we about to witness the “fall of Rome”.

It is beginning to be a scorcher here in Brisbane and the big question is how it will impact NC v BBC. I think BBC look the fitter team of individuals and to use a clever kicking game to turn around Nudgee forwards in this heat maybe the difference. Bbc strength and conditioning program on their athletic young team, look second to none but dont under estimate nudgee.

Nudgee coaching staff who I don’t underestimate seemed to give the Nudgee 15 a very long pre-season against the likes of Barker and other southern and nz style schools. This afternoon, that pre season will either help them with the stamina needed to go 70 minutes or hurt them knowing they are still only schoolboys and they used all their reserves playing tough games at the beginning of the season , rather than preserving for 36 degree games against premiership hopefuls BBC ….. and a BSHS game just 7 days later. Time will tell.

Even the great roman gladiators of Nudgee may have met their “asterix and obelix” in BBC and BSHS. So when Julius Ceaser turns to me and says with the knife between his shoulder blades- “ Et tu Brutus - who will win” I would reply yes Julius Bbc 21-NC 14. Water anyone?

 

[Ringer From the Top End]

How good's this, nothing better than 30degree heat and schoolboy footy. Great games all round today. I'll be at Downlands Main and will drive in to Miskin.

 

[Ringer From the Top End]

Which clever kicking game are you on about. Nudgee don't have many weak areas in their game, if BBC don't have their lineout set today they'll be in for a long one. Nudgee will be too hard to beat 31-19

 

[Headbin]

Nudgee's single lineout call “ Kasper” . Replay Churchie Nudgee and see how to disrupt their only line out weapon.

 

[Taipan168]

 

[Oracle83]

Nudgee get a come from behind win in 16A 22-10.

 

[Sofit]

GPS live streaming might be even more incompetent than the ARU. The Nudgee BBC match shows the game at State high, so no coverage of a blue ribbon event. What is wrong with these complete morons that they can’t do they very basics of their job. Does anyone know who to contact about this as week after week they stuff things up. Australian rugby organisation is dire.

Terrace lead BSHS 3-0
