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.

You've hit the nail on the head their mate, 100% agree.

I can't believe ive been given the blessing of bus driver for the IGS boys this round heading down to defeat BSHS.
Better start praying Roman!
Preach.

"...the program has lost its ability to truthfully self reflect on its performance and is in decline."

To date this season NC has won:

- 27 out of 31 games v Churchie
- 49 out of 50 of the games v TSS and IGS
- total to date 96% of all contests
- 100% of all 1st XV games
- Defeated the top rugby school from New Zealand (Christchurch)
- Defeated the top rugby school from Sydney (Barker)

"self reflect on its performance and is in decline."

Wow what a school

 

[Wayne Bennett 2ndMarriage]

Wow what a school

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

Don't think Roman needs to pray will be a easy win for BSHS

Hey outsider, great to have your opinion here. I am enthralled to see why you say that about GT. Because the stats are completely damning saying GT have barely beaten them in 30 years maybe once or twice?

Terrace go into every game against Nudgee as f their life de[ends on it. They give it their all and the know the stats but they play with heart and live for the upsets like in 2004, 2015 and 2016 (well it should have been). I love the passion and the hope - bit the the Wallabies against the AB's.

 

[WHACKO_JACKO.GT]

Terrace won in 2016 19-15, and should have won in 2017 on Ross if it wasn't for Harry Wilson's large vocal chords.

Great reference there, I have heard differeing oppinions on that game, I think that there was no way that he could've been louder then the crowd.

What a great few years for the red and black, a very strong team. I think the whole level of gps rugby isn't quite the same as it was.

Gt vs NC everyday

You only got to look at the professional players from the 2016 to see its strength, Wilson, Nasser, Byron Rolston (Connacht IRE), Issac Lucas (Ricoh Black Rhino;s JP)

Cheers outsider. Unfortunately for the wallabies, That is not reciprocated. With the demise of rugby in Australia the all blacks in last 10 years have openly admitted that SA are their most coveted scalp for them.

No need for sarcasm like this in the forum. Be better.

The premier grade club rugby games have all been rearranged to accommodate the test match. The atmosphere at GT vs NC will be electric
