O’Connell isn’t back until GT round which I believe is round 5
Yes just not sure which round but he will be back

Apparently the Nudgee Physio was poached from QAS, they've got excellent rehab care, with many boys coming back from injuries in the past few years earlier than expected.

i'm not sure how I feel about Stan Keats considering that he has lost his starting spot behind Issac kefu now who seems to fit well in the bbc system.

Can anyone give me the run down on Barry Smith?

BGS Starting prop - I believe on scholarship. He runs the ball hard and fast, like a ballerina's legs in the air performing a pirouette. He also provided a much needed energy boost in the grammar scrum, helping them compete against terrace. He seemed to take the most hit-ups out of any forward for BGS, as well as being a main piece for their 5 man lineout.

TSS coming up to Miskin for the College's old boys' day, BBC might crumble under pressure again at their own home ground.

I wouldn't consider losing by a try against a premiership contending team, crumbling under pressure
Predictions and comments for the next round:
Brisbane's top state school v Qld's 1st Grammar school: A very close game and if its blowing a gale again, I'd favour State High with those big inside backs and tough forward pack. State school by 7
Nudgee Rugby School v Brisbane Grammar School: Of course a BGS win is not a topic of discussion but they will provide Nudgee with some solid exam preparation and Nudgee needs to sharpen up their rugby pencil before they take on BBC, Terrace and State High e.g. the line out (Nudgee's throw) and their variation in attack when under defensive pressure. No less than 50 points to Nudgee which will be one of the lowest margins on the day between these two schools.
BBC v Southport: I agree this is the match of the round and correspondingly the toughest one to predict. I'm hearing "Flower of Scotland" in my head and I think BBC might just defend their Toowong Highland position from the coastal flank. The game will be brutal and ugly but I think this will put BBC into premiership contention if they can grind this one out and hold the fort.
Church School v Toowoomba: I think after watching Churchie outplay Nudgee in many areas of the game last weekend, and the lack of wins so far for the school on the range, I can't see any other outcome here than a win to Churchie, particularly if their number 15 gets his hands on the ball a lot. Churchie by 12 points.
Terrace: The weekend off for gaming and Nintendo.

I believe Downlands will beat Gregory Terrace by 14+ out at Tennyson this weekend. GT are playing their seconds due to the importance of the upcoming NC game in round 5. If they were to injure a key player (Nasser, Poese) in this bye fixture it would be deeply regretted throughout the whole program. Downlands have a decent side, and who knows maybe they could take down TGS at home this year.
