Here are my fresh updated musing.
Acgs v BBC 25 -17 two even teams with the home ground advantage giving Churchie the win. Churchie will be very pleased to walk away from a tough Toowoomba assignment with a win, and equally BBC dispatching Tss ( a big scalp)
TSS v BSHS 5-7 Southport at home will be tough with Tss regrouping and hungry for a win after the Bbc loss, but BSHS playing enterprising rugby. Tss is a real show with bulk and size and Bshs will need to keep alert with their strike weapon of size and athleticism perhaps matched. This game will be very close. Score could go either way. Bshs for mine- just
Bgs v Tgs. 12-31 An improving Bgs will initially be tough for TGS in the first half , but last weeks finishing form give me the confidence to say TGS all the way. They were finally getting their act together at the end of last weeks game.
Nc v Gt. 42-nil . The game all the other schools love to watch as the , so called brother schools, talk of the comradeship and close respect they both hold for each other…….. and then for 70 minutes proceeds to knock the living stuffing out of each other ( much to the other schools enjoyment) as the real feelings start to surface . The loser has to suffer another 12 months of ridicule- a high price to pay. Gt are very confident this year of turning the tables and will give it their all.
In recent years Nudgee have become experts at belittling the hapless Gt teams and even in years when Nudgee brimming with over confidence and a substandard premiership potential 1st 15 ‘s such as this year, they have NOT forgotten how to drive the knife deep into the shoulder blades of the Gt team who will be completely outclassed by this years substandard Nudgee 15.
FOR FORM GUIDANCE- Gt played well against the under strength Churchie team ( no new Ponga played that week) , who in turn taught Nudgee about respecting the competition as Churchie beat NC on all, but the scoreboard. Despite not being known for the Academic abilities, lets hope Nudgee learnt their lesson and show Gt some respect . Lol
So my prediction is a 42. - nil win to Nudgee with the Sandgate rd Petrol station selling ice and the Chemist selling decorub the real winners.
After Sat , Gt have the Academics to work out they are at best bottom 3, after a humiliating loss on Ross.
To the other schools , Let them sit back and enjoy these two gladiators schools bash the be jezuz out of each other on the field until one gets stabbed with the gladiator sword between shoulder blades , settling the argument and thus emptying the declining Ross Colosseum for another 24 months - so the good natured unsportsmanlike gloating can commence until next year, where the wonderful tradition continues.
Good luck all teams.
Thats cute
