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

I think the teams would be evenly matched, yet last years 16s would end up winning. Mainly because of Finn Mackay etc.

Hahahaah mate. You must be an IGS old boy or something. For me IGS have been under looked all season and are still my pick as a dark horse/underrated team.

Yes Sir, it's great to see I'm not the only one thinking this. Even though I may be a bit biased...

As long as you don't try to be mate its all good. Even I sometimes unknowingly favour my NC boys as im an OB ('97).

I knew something was up with these program when they gave Nudgee a scare round 1. They play a great brand of footy. I have been seriously impressed with their front row.
respectfully disagree

Agree Here - I believe they have been the most unlucky team in the game with close games against NC,BSHS,BBC and somewhat against TSS.

Outstanding footy, plus they have the best uniform in the GPS. So fresh, so clean! I wish I still fit my jersey!!

Gday T,
You seem to know heaps about the GPS and the rugby culture developing. Did you ever play rugby yourself mate?
Cheers,

@Quick_Tap_Tony As he has said before, he is a student at a GPS school, but we respect his point of view, and he brings a great perspective, as he is in the middle of all the action. Again, schoolboys are welcome here, just no dribbling, please.

I wonder if he plays GPS footy himself or if he is just a fan. @Quick_Tap_Tony I respect your anonymity but it is interesting and helpful to the forum to have a current GPS student/players POV. Honestly, the bloke has maturity well beyond his years.

I 100% agree. I thought it was a bloke years older. This guy is going places.

Just following up on this, if there are even any current 1st XV players in the forum I would love to hear your thoughts on the season so far. However, I respect everyone's opinion to stay anonymous if they are not comfortable.
I watched a lot of that carnival both live and then the streams later, seen lots of GPS that age and also both the club scene union and league and the squad on the whole was just about right....2-3 were not picked who are stand outs due to league affiliations Broncos (which I agree with) A few came in from outside that carnival which was the criteria all along and were justified selection bar 1 or 2.
I think wherever the coach is from selections would have been similar
The Capricornia 9 was good but missed out... he was unlucky and maybe there are a couple of lucky front rowers where selections could have gone either way.
