NC might be good at footy, but what does that mean if you can't fuel the boys with some good supper after the game. I'll tell ya. NOTHING!!

Evening all,
Firstly,, I want to introduce myself formally to the forum. I am a TGS old boy finishing in 2004, I played in the first, and yes, for all those asking I do remember facing the feared Ben McCormack. Sidenote: Ben McCormack was an absolutely outstanding player back in his heyday and an even better coach, from what I hear.
Yeah, look a little bit of news I have heard about this young fella for a while. I have a close family friend whose son played with Will growing up. He is a big, strapping young man standing at 6'3 and has put on a lot of size in the off-season. He is a damaging ball carrier, as he displayed on the weekend coming on for the 1's, and I am thrilled to see him playing this weekend. He has worked tirelessly to make it and deserves his opportunity, wouldn't be surprised if he has a blinder this weekend.
Hope everyone enjoys a massive week of 1st XV rugby

Can’t see them winning many in Roman’s absence
Agree. There are rarely comments that support NC. Seems to be a lot of jealousy for a school that dominates year in and out across all age groups and divisions. Lots of talk about coaches who are ex wallabies etc etc. seems like NC does not need this as they instill at a young age skills knowledge and belief in their students. Where as other schools wait to 16s to do this. When you as a young fellow have lost year in and out by big scores to Nudgee the psychological impact of knowing you haven’t beaten them is there. If you look at the scores from any week but let’s pick round 2, the only time Nudgee lost was when they had to play against another NC team.
If TSS show up like they did against NC, TGS for the win
Could have been the pressure. But they were touted as contenders for the premiership and if you can’t handle the pressure of playing on Ross and end up losing convincingly, you need to reassess what you are doing. The forward ran out of steam quickly and Kingsley, touted as being one of the best, was missing all game.

Heres a quick question for you, what would your 'dream team' gps u16 players be, and why?

As we near Saturdays arrangements I would like to throw out my game day predictions.
GT will take out BGS (+12). it will be hard fought from the grammar boys, but I think GT come out on top.
IGS will take out BBC (+5). I think this is gonna be a really good match up, IGS will have heaps of confidence, but BBC will be wanting (needing)their first win.
NC vs ACGS (+19). It wont quite be the blood bath that NC made last week, but still NC will reign dominance with their strong f/pack and electric back line.
TSS vs TGS. I'm really unsure about this game, let me know what you think.

I would like to see my old school get up against TSS. They can't be underestimated, and despite the bad start to the season, I feel like the boys will be fired up and looking for a result. Tom Bailey is one of the best forwards in the competition, and if there is any forward pack that can compete with TSS, it will be this one. Not to that, our backline hasn't fired in any of the matches so far, wouldn't be surprised if we see an upset this weekend

It seems that TSS struggles under pressure, especially when trailing in a game. They appear to lose confidence and let their emotions dictate their performance. Maintaining momentum is certainly easier when leading - as shown in the Terrace game in round 1 - , but their difficulty in mounting comebacks highlights a lack of maturity and resilience to handle adverse situations effectively. This is not me saying that TSS is a bad side, they are a contender. However, this is something that they will have to manage moving forward.
