Indeed MM,
I have heard reports of the abysmal Gaza conditions - initially during cricket season it looked like a dustbowl - however a few forum members and I watched a soccer game recently there and the condition is incredibly muddy. Wonder if Terrace has any plans to tackle this leading into rugby season?

A few days of sun and this will turn rock hard again. Certainly wouldn't want to be playing footy on here this weekend.

That field is looking mythical, wish these big tree trunks of mine still worked like they used to so i could tackle that field
. That field reminds me of the kirra hill mudslide that formed during the cyclone .Cheers, D.B

I’ve got to chime in on this one too.
Over the weekend, and mind you it wasn’t even close to the boggy mess that the GT 16As had to wade through, the Nudgee outside backs looked like they’d never seen a rugby ball before let alone caught one. It was honestly as if the ballboys had taken every Gilbert and dunked them in a vat of industrial-grade lube from the Albion Adult Emporium. Slippery doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Meanwhile, Brisbane Grammar and BBC seemed to have no such issues they were handling the pill with far more confidence and control. It does beg the question: is this just a one-off shocker or a genuine area of concern for Nudgee?
Perhaps a few sessions catching pineapples with the 5C cricket lads on Flat 6 might sort it out.
Cheers, D.B

ATA,
Although the tough conditions, halfbacks got to be able to pass well in all conditions. Although gotta feel for the young man.
Just a tough day in the office for him

Nudgee were missing a large portion of their backline

Hey Guys,
Any key positional matchups this weekend? Such as Nasser VS Tusi at number 8 last weekend.

Archie “the mutt” Mesritz vs Fletcher Austin should be a good watch

righto listen here mate, u wanna talk about footy but i can tell the closest you’ve been to a footy field is the stands. TGS were in terraces red zone 12 times, Terrace were only in TGS’s 4 times. 5 times TGS supposedly got held up, 5 TIMES. Like cmon, TGS had all field position and possession of the footy, just unfortunately they didn’t execute in the horrific conditions. The GT 10 who isn’t getting any abuse compared to Cooper, could only get his side into TGS territory once, compared to Cooper who got TGS in Terrace territory 6 times. I agree TGS played poor but no need to point fingers you degenerate.

Good Morning Forum
Lets start today with a question. I’d really love to see a proper, legitimate Dream XV put together it would be great to see who we all think are gonna go good this year. Let’s keep it honest and grounded though none of the overhyped mates that play in the Thirds, Nothing like the outrageous dribble that was flying around yesterday. Just solid footy calls from people who know the game.
Keen to see what everyone comes up with.
Cheers, D.B

Hey mate, dessy here where can i watch this game for my selection choices for next year?
Some real talent looks like its coming out of both GT and TGS.

Well as i said GT were able to obviously excecute their own few chances they got with footy in TGS territory and this is reflected in the score. Seems as though as soon as things get hard for the Grammar boys they drop their heads and just let it happen. I understand conditions are bad and what not but if they are really contenders like you say they are, they should be able to put the ball down rather than get held up 5 times. Just seems as though the boys up the hill are abit softer this year with years in the past being able to excecute and leave with more points rather than leaking them as soon as their opposition touch the 22.

Well said. Credit where it's due, TGS showed some promise by breaking into Terrace's red zone plenty of times. That in itself is no small effort. But rugby is about more than territory, it's about execution. And when it came to execution and converting pressure into points, TGS simply fell short.
Meanwhile, GT delivered when it mattered most. They stayed composed, took their chances, and walked away with the result. That’s not something to be downplayed it’s what wins game. TGS, on the other hand, can't walk away from that match asking “what if.” The time for hypotheticals is over. Instead of leaning on the hype around their big new import, they need to take a hard look at what really counts, performing under pressure. All the funding and talk in the world won’t save you on game day if you can't execute when it’s on the line.

Funny one boss,
I think we all know you're not Des. Stay out of the forum with these childish names. We are not a micktake forum last time I checked. In reality, for talent, I would be looking no further than BBC and TSS this year. You're about as helpful here as a screen door on a submarine - and about as funny too.
P.S. Please remove that disgraceful quote below your messages.

Well said Tom. I'm also sick of the piss taking with certain names and misrepresentations. Thanks for getting into him.
Also, We should catch up in town at some point. How's daisy ? Would love to watch some footy with you guys

I'll get us started since nobody has dropped it yet. Hopefully we can stir the pot abit and get the the chatter going.
Just an FYI this is based on the Forum Chatter and from what i have seen at games myself, There is not alot of ACGS and or BSHS representation in the forum.
1. Harry Asi (BBC)
I’ve gone with Harry at loosehead because he brings serious power to the scrum and is constantly active around the park. He’s been mentioned in a few QLD Schools discussions, and from what I’ve seen, he’s one of the most reliable props in the comp.
2. Caleb West (IGS)
Caleb’s been one to watch for a while. He’s a dynamic hooker with leadership qualities and played Reds U15s a couple years back. He’s aggressive in contact, sharp around the ruck, and I’d back him to make the QLD Schools squad this year.
3. Kingsley Uys (TSS)
WHat a unit TSS have! and already signed to a development deal with the Reds and Rugby Australia. He was part of the Aus U18s win over NZ Schools last year. Kingsley is an elite-level tighthead and the gold standard for any gps school when it comes to front rowers and an easy choice here.
4. Xavier Hough (BBC)
I couldn’t go past Xavier. He’s stepped up massively for BBC and follows in the footsteps of his brother Zac. He’s tough in the lineout and consistently makes metres with ball in hand. You can just tell he’s a natural leader in that forward pack.
5. Bennett Armistead (NC)
Bennett’s one of those players who does the dirty work without the spotlight. At Nudgee, he’s been rock solid in the second row—excellent at lineout time and super reliable in defence. I like how physical he is.
6. Dyer Akaula (BGS)
Dyer is a beast. Built like a fridge and hits like a truck. He’s been one of Grammar’s standout in trials and one of the best young players in the GPS comp last he and just doesn’t stop working. Every team needs a player like him absolute mongrel at the breakdown and fearless in defence.
7. Ollie Nasser (GT)
Now, I know Ollie’s not traditionally a 7, but I just had to get him in this team. He’s been a leader at Terrace for years and never takes a backwards step. Plays with heart, and you always notice him on the field.
8. Nissi Vivessi (BGS)
This bloke might be my favourite player to watch in the GPS. He runs like he’s got a personal grudge against the opposition and never shies away from contact. Athletic, powerful, HE IS THE DEFINITION OF X-FACTOR
9. George Hales (GT)
Three years in the First XV that experience is gold. George is calm, confident, and his pass is crisp under pressure. He controls the tempo beautifully and reads defensive lines like a seasoned pro.
10. Elijah Breen (BGS)
Another third-year player. Elijah’s rugby IQ is next level. He’s got a clutch boot, can play 10 or 15, and is clearly the heartbeat of that Grammar backline. I’ve got so much respect for the way he directs play and takes control under pressure.
11. Adam Davis (TGS)
Adam’s pace and positioning are elite. He’s the kind of winger who finishes everything and always finds space. Very reliable under the high ball, and his work rate is huge for Toowoomba.
12. Tai Taka (BBC)
Tai is a proper 12. He runs straight, tackles hard, and doesn’t overplay his hand. He’s the kind of centre you want in tight matches someone who can bash the gain line and hold his ground defensively.
13. Rhymun Tusi (TGS)
I love what Rhymun brings at 13. Fast, evasive, and not afraid to take risks. He breaks the line regularly and brings that spark you need to open up a game. Every time he touches the ball, you feel like something could happen.
14. Ethan Grimshaw (NC)
Ethan’s really developed into a dependable winger. He’s athletic, tough, and isn’t afraid to get dirty. Always chasing kicks, tracking across in cover, and making good yardage. One of the more balanced backs going around.
15. Kilarney Lavender (TSS)
I know most lists have him at 12, but I love Kilarney at fullback. He’s calm under pressure, has a monster boot, and adds serious polish at the back. He’s played for Reds U16s and looks destined for higher honours.
Cheers, D.B
