3/4 On wins and losses, but my score predictions were not good enough.

100%, this game needs promotion. Same with Terrace Nudgee and other big games. The kids all want to play in front of big crowds so you may as well make it happen. Hopefully state high get some numbers out there, because to be honest for a Hyped up State High day on the weekend, I thought there would've been more supporters. Nudgee will bring the whole school so hopefully state high can match it.

Agree Mate, the “statey supporters” as they refer themselves, need to buy up numbers on Saturday to create a true grand final atmosphere. The kids have over 3500 kids so might as well take advantage of it. Apparently the spirit from the boys and girls who do show up is pretty good.... interesting to see countless supporters shirtless in body paint as I remember even at NC in '97 this wasn't allowed. They've got the quality just need the quantity.....

Terrace do it. I was at the Nudgee game and they did it, I was sat next to some older terrace oldboys and they told me that the terrace boys have booed the kicker on multiple occasions

Is it a surprise though? It’s the biggest game on their calendar… I remember watching the O'Callaghan in my day, and the chirp said to the kicker was alot worse than todays game. @Daniel Koalins I have no clue what you mean by the GT boys not screaming or whistling during the oppositions kicks, it’s schoolboy footy of course it’s going to happen. No need to lie mate…

All those players are u16? I think trotting duck is referring to the u15s…

Hey does anyone know what happened to the player, or which player it was that went down and left in an ambulance at the start of the BBC vs NC game. Looked pretty serious

The prophecy has been foretold, fate has been written. This Saturday the 7th of September will forever be known as the fall of Rome. History books will forever describe the massacre of the Nudgee first XV by the hands of BSHS. The cannons will be aimed, the catapults drawn, the walls of Rome will be reduced to rubble and State High will place the flag on the ashes of Ross Oval and claim the final victory.
The battle will rage on as Nudgee will slowly be reduced to silence and then to solemn tears. Statey will raise the trophy and Nudgee will be reminded of their 18-17 loss on the colloseum in 2023. But now the colloseum has been defended, and Statey march upon the drawbridge of rome, not leaving without victory.

Don’t know why we are all arguing… every school does it… it’s schoolboy footy and I’m sure if you asked any 1st XV player if they’ve been chirped from the sideline in any game they’ve played they would say yes. It’s just part of the fun IMO.

I would contest the chirp has got a little more pointed in recent seasons. With social media (a blessing and a curse), providing a rich vein of material for the content, I have heard quite a bit of personal stuff that we could all do without. In fact, you can hear quite a bit on some of the broadcasts this year about certain players. I think it is part and parcel of high level rugby - and definitely a necessary evil for the 'known' players - but it would be great if it were a touch more general.

With this weeks upcoming 'Grand Final' set to take place between NC and BSHS, It make me wonder, when was the last time a Grand Final Like this with two unbeaten teams took place in the GPS comp.

@The Occasional Fly Half how good was that game down the range on Saturday. I was secretly hoping DC would get over but my word. Joey grey was on everything.
That’s the 14s
