Terrace number 12 looked like he went down with a leg injury
C. Clifford (GT) - Knee/ACL/MCL - (Season)Any known injuries from the weekend that will greatly affect the teams this weekend?
You dont have to believe it, it is true. Words straight from his mouth. He was in Tassie the week of the BBC game doing promos, the Jackjumpers had him booked on a Saturday flight home he changed his flight to the Friday so he could get back in time for the game. The jackjumpers cracked the darks and tore up his contract. I dont think he is that phased, he backs himself to pick up another deal and it wont be long until he is drafted in the NBA and his couple hundred grand sacrifice to win a premiership with his mates will be well and truly justified.I don’t believe he has had his contract torn up. If he has chosen GPS rugby over a couple of $100k that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
Great to see everyone out there! It was actually my first ever battle of the colours so my expectations were high... boy did it not disapoint. My one minor caviat was that I had been told that Nudgee would walk all over Terrace. This was not the case. With an excellent first half from Terrace was looking like the stronger side. It was only in that seccond half when there was a few poor defense on the edges by Terrace that NC got up.Just wanted to comment on the battle of the colours - what an amazing game! Went right down to the wire and was amazing to see my NC boys get over! Would love to hear everyone else’s thoughts and it was great to chat to fellow forumists @WHACKO_JACKO.GT a during the game. Would love to hear everyone else’s thoughts.
Hey @THEHAMMERLOVER you have added IGS vs IGS who are IGS versing?Hey all,
The match fixtures for this coming week is as follows: (home team on the left)
TGS vs GT
BBC vs BGS
IGS vs IGS
BSHS vs ACGS
Kind Regards,
Agree with this, Nick Conway against Gt was outstanding, his footwork is amazingBlin6side’s Forwards and Backs of the round
Forward of the Round: Lucas ‘The Pitbull’ Clifford (BBC)
Clifford made his offical debut for the BBC 1st XV this week against ACGS. Wearing the number 3 on his back, Clifford was particularly impressive in both forms of set piece, with a dominant showcase when it came down to scrum time. Next round, Clifford will only be stronger due to the gained confidence from his victory on debut against a strong ACGS side. Furthermore, i’m very surprised why BBC have held this ‘Secret Weapon’ back so late in their campaign…
Back of the Round: Nick Conway (NC)
Nick Conway, a previous Queensland Reds u16 representative player, certainly turned up for this years annual battle of the colours. An electric winger who's got it all size, speed and a nasty step, that could tear apart almost every GPS’ Schools defensive line. Conway, received a bit of grief from the GT crowd, however, he kept his head down and went to work. Very keen to see if he can replicate this performance after this weeks bye round.
Back - Honourable Mentions: George ‘Jack Russel’ Hales (GT)
Not really much to say here rather than consistency. The Jack Russel is arguably one of the most consistent players in the Queensland GPS comp, delivering silky service week in and week out. Despite having a ‘Target’ on his back, Hales didn’t back down and still performed some gutsy snipes, that led to a few line breaks. His defensive effort against NC was extremely impressive, with a few ankle taps that stopped the NC Calvary in their tracks. Such a shame TGS missed out on the opportunity of poaching this Scrumhalf when he made the move from NZ in u12s…
Interested to see Gt vs TGS considering the boys from up the range haven't started the best after being hyped up to be a real contender, but they did gut up against BGS last week and GT coming off the best game I've seen from them where they were simply outplayed, will be a great game how exciting is this.Hey all,

From BGS U16:Who is the bets young gun in the entire GPS comp?
U16 AND BELOW??
love to hear from @tikkamungrel_3000 and @Quick_Tap_Tony
Thanks Guan Syun,From BGS U16:
Best Forward: Dyer Akauola #8, Of Tongan descent, Akauola brings a sense of go forward for the BGS pack, with footwork well above most in the GPS.
Best Back: Harper Enasio #12: After an impactful start to the game against Churchie, Enasio was menacing to Churchie with ball in hand, constantly surpassing the advantage line, unfortunately he was sidelined after a hipdrop tackle.
Best Player: Ricky "the stud" Wang #2: After a riveting start to the GPS season Wang has cemented himself as one of the best front rowers in the entire comp. His low centre of gravity coupled with his broad frame complements his ability to steam roll defensive lines. While Wang is not the lineout thrower for his team his versatility across the field is unmatched due to his footy IQ which allows him to read the play, phases in advance. His workrate remains an underrated aspect of his game as he is able to chop low and quickly reload to his feet serving as a nuisance at the breakdown. My only complaint would be Wang's haircut as his hair constantly gets in his eyes during games.
For me, it's Max Fallon, a GT boy in the 15B's. Of Fijian descent, he's grown up playing footy—he lives and breathes it. Word around the Terrace camp is that he's being hailed as the next Reece Walsh. While I'm still on the fence about whether that's a name I'd want to be compared to, I can't deny that I was never in the running to be compared to any professionals myself.Who is the bets young gun in the entire GPS comp?

Such a dominant player, his physicality is unmatched. Just take a look at the training he does and the size of him.Blin6side’s Forwards and Backs of the round

Yeah, sounds interesting, TM, might have to keep a keen eye out. Nice and soggy up here. The Fallon name has been popping around the grounds recently in the crowds every now and again. May have to dedicate a Saturday to see what's going on? Must admit though, Ricky Wang has been compared to the likes of Tino Fa'asuamaleaui!! Things are shaping up nicely in the GPS. Hopefully some talent filters through to the NRL. been absolutely soft this year.For me, it's Max Fallon, a GT boy in the 15B's.

I hope that everyone back in Brisbane is staying nice and dry,
