Headcase. Your rhetoric doesn’t make sense and is so far from reality that it’s making you look like a goose (long necked and feathered). So what you are saying is that because Nudgee didn’t lose, they complained about the ref? This is comical at best. If you believe that all officialdom have never had poor games than your delusional. The NRL and AFL are constantly admitting there referees get it wrong. But you’re suggesting that any criticism of a referee amounts to sour grapes, even when they win! Can you also please back up Factually how the Nudgee program is on the decline? It’s only getting stronger and stronger. You see headcase I deal in facts. Where as you deal in words. Which like your wardrobe is “cheap”.

Not sure that Nudgee's program is on the decline. As a TSS parent I am somewhat envious of the way they develop their players from U11 upwards. Although many of this year's games between TSS and Nudgee were 10-20 points closer than last year, Nudgee still thumped most of the opposition teams. Every team I saw across the fields, whether they were A teams or E teams, all nailed the basics - catch and pass, putting a teammate into space, rush defence, ruck skills, etc. Every kick off, the boy who caught the ball swung it to the open side of the field and it went through the hands, stretching the opposition defence. Every TSS team ran it up the guts from the kick off and often lost the ball. Not sure if they train this, or if it is a product of going into every game with confidence, but all the Nudgee players seemed to run on their toes while the TSS players seemed to be flat footed. They nail the basics like the All Blacks which is one reason why they are so good. Watch the Nudgee version of The Season and you will see how they teach the juniors catch and pass, even going out to local clubs to develop these skills. In my observation, the other schools only start to catch them from U15s upwards when they start to recruit scholarship players.

I am aware that I am a frank row. Nonethless, I think that ACGS will give them a run for their money, considering the score last week against NC.

All this sprin... talk but in my opinion everyone on this forum is valid until they start trying to be a comedian. Unless your Aaron Chen or Chris Rock we don't need your jokes. Anyway, thank you for your opinion. This game and BBC vs TSS are shaping up to be huge.

Not sure mate.
I would agree, but the long treacherous drive up to the range could cause ACGS some problems energy wise, as well as getting physically ready for a tough match up. Like we saw against IGS ball in hands time was pivotal in the strong wind, and i believe ACGS have more spark through the likes of Pritchard and strong, fast wingers. I honestly could not pick a winner in this matchup, its a toss of a coin.

I'm predicting a crowd of at least 10K down at Tennyson.

Real question here:
with the AUS V SA game being played at suncorp in the arvo, and the Hostplus cup fixtures as per usual. Which of (GT V NC), (SA V AUS), or a prem grade club footy fixture would you most like to watch?

I personally think that nothing beats the excitement around schoolboy footy so i'll be attending the GT V NC game

Correct me if I'm wrong (apologies if I am), but did you mean to say QPR instead of Hostplus cup, as Hostplus cup is league. Anyway, as I've had coaching involvement in both GT and NC, as well as nephews who go to NC (My kids go to a different GPS School), I personally think nothing matches the atmosphere of the battle of the colours, and as a NC old boy I'll certainly be rooting for the Blue and White. On an off-topic note, I think the international union scene has been getting worse and worse, as last time I watched the wallabies play, the crowd just wasn't it for me. Personally, I think union fans need to be more like the leaguies - getting loud and about it, and loving your team and country. QPR games just wouldn't match the exciting environment until finals IMO.

Some schools like IGS and NC just understand Rugby, unlike TGS
