QLD GPS 2024

[The Bull]

With Nudgee losing their best player for the season it makes it much harder for them to compete with back lines with big inside backs that will get over the advantage line.
I think the winner will come from
TSS
BBC
TGS
Then
Nudgee
BSHS
IGS
Churchie
GT
BGS

 

[Oracle83]

I think Nudgee are still the team to beat - proven to know how to grind out a win far more than any other school since time began.

 

[Make_Rugby_Great_Again]

With what I believe will be a very close competition, one observation and factor that will prove crucial to deciding games is goal-kicking. Which school has the most consistent goal kicker? From the trials I’ve seen, there hasn’t really been a standout goal kicker from memory. Not long to go now before Round 1 ….. bring it on!!!

Getting in early but here are my tips for Round 1:

ACGS vs BGS - ACGS by 30+
BSHS vs TGS - TGS by 5
TSS vs GT - TSS by 20+
IGS vs NC - NC by 7
BBC - bye

Who are you’re tips??

 

[RazorRamon]

ACGS v BGS - ACGS by 15 points (Anticipate some great tries but a lot of errors by the 2024 Vikings. I can see them getting out to a comfortable lead but then giving away some soft tries brought about some errors)
BSHS v TGS - BSHS by 15 points (Home ground advantage and memory of last year’s controversial loss as the catalyst for an “upset” win)
TSS v GT - TSS by 25+ points (according to script)
IGS v NC - IGS by 3 (Boil over win to start the season from Ippy led by Tyson Walker)
BBC - Bye

 

[Shaw Road]

NC have tiny backs this year, huge ask, I don't think this age group at NC has ever won a premiership,

13 July Round 1 tips
ACGS vs BGS - ACGS by 15+
BSHS vs TGS - TGS by 3
TSS vs GT - TSS by 12+
IGS vs NC - NC by 5
BBC - bye

NC can overcome the loss of Prestyn Laine Sietu . They have depth.
My personal rankings

Agreed. NC place importance on lineouts. That might work in the professional game but that tactic will fail when your locks don’t have the physicality. I deel the Nudgee coaching staff think that school boy rugby is the same as super rugby. The reality is even club rugby is next level. That’s shown by the number of schoolboy first 15 players who even struggle at colts level let alone premier grade. Nudgee have previously overlook players who step up to prem grade after school. As a west bulldogs supporter I’ve followed a seconds player who came over to wests and is playing prem grade.

George Hales. A name that is not spoken enough about. This kid has eno (energy). He plays like a jack russel, quick to sniffing the ball and passing it at every breakdown. Having been in the emerging reds last year playing amongst Angus Munn, making himself a known talented halfback. Inside intel says hes been offered a position at a club in New Zealand, as he has been playing out of his skin in Napier. Very excited to see what he brings back to the Terrace 1st team this year.

My personal rankings
1.NC
2.TGS
3.BSHS
4.TSS
5.BBC
6.ACGS
7.IGS
8.GT
9.BGS

I like these rankings expect I got TGS winning the comp. Feel like I might have a bit of bias especially since I am a Toowoomba Grammar old boy (TGSOB). Interesting to see both spring hill teams at the bottom of the ladder. Really hope boys from both these schools can prove doubters, including me wrong.

 

[Oracle83]

My Ladder Prediction is:
1. TGS, BBC or NC (if not first these will be the top 3)
4. BSHS
5. GT
6. TSS
7. IGS
8. ACGS
9. BGS

My reasoning is simple, TGS, BBC and NC have impressed the most in trials. Even when they’re not full strength these teams have put on a good show, it’ll be a great battle between these 3 for the comp. BSHS and GT will be unlucky not to be in the top 3, especially BSHS who are quite strong this year just missing something. TSS and Ippy will be solid teams just not contenders in my opinion. ACGS aren’t playing there best footy, there game plan almost seems like give the ball to Treyvon and hope for the best. I just can’t see them being competitive this year and in last I have BGS but hopefully BGS can prove me wrong, cause it’s a shame seeing them last every year.

Most accurate unbiased opinion in my view

Caught a glimpse of statey agasint terrace on the 8/6/24. My god those south brissy boys are looking up for it this year. DARK HORSE.

What’s everyone’s game of the round for the 1st round 13th July 2024?

 

[TheGPSBloke]

Far out that number 4 Grey O’neil can play.

 

[Make_Rugby_Great_Again]

Unless he’s injured, I think Charlie Bird would be stiff to miss a spot in the starting team somewhere either at 10 or 15. But that’s the beauty of having a strong squad as it keeps everyone on there toes and causes selection headaches for the coaches ….. not a bad problem to have!!

 

[Make_Rugby_Great_Again]

Here’s my Churchie team based on recent trial matches plus the assumption of injured players returning for Round 1:

1 - D Tauakipulu
2 - H Solofa
3 - S Kite
4 - C Godfrey
5 - S Williams
6 - T Wood
7 - G Ward
8 - J Crothers
9 - H Rylance
10 - F Austin
11 - W Bloxham
12 - M Blanch
13 - L Gordon / O Chancellor
14 - A Bowman
15 - T Pritchard

 

[TheGPSBloke]

So good that the Terrace sprinklers are off the forum. They’ve finally shut there trap!

 

[Wing whisperer]

Couldn't agree with you more mate.
