Yeah mate he has stepped in the flanker role very well and we are happy with the purchase. Hard work ethic, knowledge player, defiently a great addition to the team. Think the toowoomba past may have tainted him a bit, but thats an internal battle we are working on.

How much more did you pay that Toowoomba grammar couldn't?

Let's just say the budget is a bit bigger over here. But yeah defiently happy to see the investment paying dividends, bright year ahead of him. Glad TGS found a replacement Keegan Cook but unfortunately I just don't think he's as high of a calliber player as Bate

ive watched Keegan play since he was at the Coomera Crushers, a good player but i struggle to see how he has played for the Reds.

Thoughts on all time best GPS coaches? Number 1 would have to go to Michael Broad for me.

Peter Gledhill (NC) is a favourite of mine. His old-school training style and hardcore mentality were favourable among the GPS. It was feared. His hard work drill not only shaped the first XV during the 2000s, but he also helped shape NC Rugby superstar Bennett Armistead. Peter makes or breaks players, as it shows who's ready for war.

Hey Gents,
With all this chat about teamlists and players. I'd love to have a look at the best coaches in GPS rugby.
It's pretty Hard to go past the infamous Guy 'the rhino' Clarke of Gregory Terrace.

Any thoughts?

FFF,

I think I know who you're talking about. He's the coach that wears his bright orange backpack right? Pretty sure i've seen him out at tennyson a bit. One day I got into conversation with him and he was telling me he is a proud Downlands old boy.

ATA,

Yeah that's the guy, Downlands through and through that man. Exceptional Coach though. I believe he may have had reps coaching the u19 Wallabies side and was in with the Emerging Reds for a little bit there.

Righto lads, since we’re throwing names in the hat for top GPS coaches, let me dust off the old boots and weigh in because if you know your rugby and you’ve been around the traps long enough, there’s no way you overlook Daniel Ritchie and Hannes Venter at Brisbane Grammar.
These two aren’t just good they’re exactly what BGS needed to crawl out of the shadows and finally start swinging with the big boys again.

Daniel Ritchie now there’s a bloke who bleeds light dark blue. A third-generation Eagle and now Head Coach at Norths Brisbane, he’s no stranger to taking on long rebuilds and making them stick. Ritchie knows how to build from the ground up not just stacking a team with talent but actually developing it. And that’s the key. He brings that same long-term, no-shortcuts mentality to Grammar. It’s not just about winning a premiership this year or next it’s about laying the foundations for a decade of competitiveness. You want culture? Leadership? Standards? Dan brings all three in spades.

Then you've got Hannes Venter, a former South African pro who’s been there and done that at the top level with the Bulls. The man’s played in the cauldron of provincial rugby, and you can see that pedigree in the way he coaches. He doesn’t just teach the game he teaches how to think the game. The tactical awareness, the physicality, the structure he’s brought that edge that Grammar’s been missing for years. And more than that, he commands respect. The boys listen when Hannes talks, and it shows in how they play.

Together, they’re the perfect storm. Ritchie sets the tone, drives the culture, builds the trust. Venter sharpens the execution, lifts the intensity, and brings that South African steel. And make no mistake the results are already starting to show. Grammar’s not just making up the numbers anymore. They’re knocking on doors. And you better believe, if they keep this pairing together, those doors are going to start flying open.

So yeah, “The Rhino” Clarke at Terrace deserves a mention, no doubt. But if you're talking about turning a proud but hurting rugby program into a serious contender, Ritchie and Venter are the blueprint. They’re exactly what BGS needed and long may they stay.



Cheers, D.B

I've heard that Jack Brown is a talent from the range, could we see him start this year?
