Hey FB,
BGS v BBC
That State High number 9 is by far the best 9 in the competition while the State High 9/10 combination whilst not talked about during the pre season has really been the stand out combination this year. I believe both of them however can't even get into the conversation for the Reds u18 teams which is typical of Qld rugby.
These boys looked flat on their feet after Nudgee this week and will be hunting for another win I feel they will go very close in last three games and may get over for one idk which
@Oracle83 Do you think that BBC will come back with a fight after the previous result against BGS?
They could've been much more simple, trying to do too much without getting the fundamentals right.
come on guys, if you think this ERC u16 tournament has any baring on the u16 reds selections your are kidding yourself. As seen with the selections of the u15's the team will already be picked. You can guarantee that whatever school the coach has an association with the majority of the squad will come from there.
I feel as if these boys have a lot more in them. Losing key players like McGahan and Clifford has obviously put pressure on the backline and execution of their footy. But I was lucky enough to get down to Tennyson for Churchie and Nudgee round and these boys played some great footy with a great work rate. They will be the underdogs going into their final three, but I think they have a fighting chance to say the least.
I do not know to much about this years u16 competition/players. However would the u16 QLD team from last year beat the u16 QLD from this year.
I haven't heard much about IGS VS TSS, who played well on each side. Any outstanding performances??
Dont agree here sadly....the Reds 15 squad has a number of Nudgee boys mainly because they have been the stand out team for the last few years.
Agree Here - IGS had the spirit to never give up but an in form TSS team proved too good.
In many cases it is true, the coaches are bias to their school and tend to give more of an "opportunity" to the boys from their school. However, I have heard alot about the U15 Nudgee side being strong with some of them already having contracts with NRL clubs.
The Reds 15s coach is from Nudgee, it was highly biased. Although they definitely have talent, there was some clear robberies from that carnival
Agree on the coaches.... but having watched a recent carnival the players from the Regions - eg Northern, Wide Bay, Pennuisula etc were way off the pace. The better players would have already been snapped up by GPS AIC schools
