I have to disagree here mate, with the Kefu's taking over coaching they will instill some much needed discipline in them and really transform this team. We saw it occur against nudgee, even if Roman has to pull out I don't think that will change much come GPS season.

no i agree with you there mate, but i just dont have faith that kefu's hard discipline will get them in the top 5 teams this year. I feel if Roman does pull out his grippy hands will be missed on the wing.

Sorry mate I don't know where your coming from I feel nudgee don't have the passion like they used to, I don't reckon they even love running on Ross and getting in the mud while screaming with there brothers.

Just heard inside intel that prospect Cormac Burke from BBC has picked up a injury and could be out for 6 weeks. This freakish human is only 16 and he trucks seed on the field and off it as he is a BBC Boarder from Roma, If Cormac is out this will be dramatically big for the BBC school as he is leading the team in pilfers, offloads and tackles. They desperately need him especially coming up against this GT side on the weekend that features stars like Ben Grose and Will Rutherford. Hope Burke recovers soon were praying for him.

Interesting views on the ladder position. I think NC are the clear favourites for another Premiership tilt with the rest playing for 2nd. However, having watched all the schools during the trials, bar TGS, I think the sleepers of the competition are ACGS and possibly BSHS as well as TGS.
If ACGS can keep there starting 1st XV injury free, they will cause some real problems for the top teams ie NC, BBC and TSS. I watched the ACGS vs NC trial and ACGS more than held their own IMO considering they were missing some key forwards in Crothers, Solofa and a couple of others who are injured. The ACGS backline look so much better when young Blanch plays and I think he’s one of there keys to a successful season. I believe NC were missing about 7 regular starters so they will be stronger again but I feel lots of the opposition coaches have worked out the NC way of playing, but easier said than done!
Overall, I feel the competition is going to be closer than people think - a bit like the Brisbane Colts 1 competition this year where most of the games have been hard fought and very competitive! Looking at Norths results todate, they’ve lost quite a few very close games and with a bit of luck, they could have been sitting 2nd in the ladder.
It promises to be a very good season of Qld GPS rugby!!

What is the injury he sustained, if this is real this is a massive detriment for BBCs upcoming season. Prayers for this country boy.

Been doing some research on BBC‘s side for there upcoming trial against GT, and found a new notable name. Messaged a few of my BBC connections and found this out. Also not sure if he’s well known, or I’m just living under a rock. But Harry ‘Hawg’ Lyster, a kiwi born flyhalf, who played 15As last year is rising through the ranks quickly. Not sure if he will take year 12 Charlie Bird‘s spot just yet, but he is a promising prospect. Scoring 13 tries in 8 games, this kids got a ruthless step, and brings some New Zealand flair into the Queensland GPS comp. Doesn’t mind a 50-22 as well from the clips i’ve seen. Interested to see if he will get minutes in the firsts this season, best of luck to the young fella. Please correct me if any of this information is wrong.

Exciting season ahead! I just wish they would bring back AAGPS vs GPS All-Stars team again. GPS would dominate.
Can anyone pull some strings?? I'm sure I am not the only one who would love to see this comp once again.

IGS above TSS is a brave call mate, BBC are good but I don’t see them overtaking TGS on the ladder. But as previously stated anything can happen, its GPS footy.

This Roman kid pure athlete, hope the NBL hasn’t disallowed him to play footy. Needs to hit a few more rucks before he can call rugby quits.

Yep on the money here, Cormac 'MACA' Burke has a raw talent for the game and at 6'4 (still growing) he most likely will be playing professional footy. Heard from inside sources that he used to be a state champion wrestler, I'm guessing that's where his strength of a bear comes from. Regards.
