actually yes, consideration of the younger lads wasn't taken from grammar's perspective.. at least a top 5 finish i would admit

GT have a small inexperience side, lacking ticker and pace in the backs. Picking players out of position is not the go in the Firsts. A recipe for disaster. Defintely wooden spooners
Saw last night's Suncorp curtain raisers.Post-match wrap up. NC got beaten by Churchie but won against TSS .....both games close but deeply unattractive rugby from all 3 teams............flowing backline plays a la the Ellas of the '70's just doesn't seem to happen these days............perhaps GPS coaches need to have a good hard look at themselves in light of the quality of rugby served up last night.....I wouldn't call it rubbish but damn close to it.....maybe I am a harsh critic but the reality was the wingers in all 3 sides hardly handled the ball .........one NC winger touched the ball maybe 3 times in 70 mins of playing time....not good enough....on one of those rare occasions he scored .....in the corner.............the highlight of an otherwise very ordinary night of GPS footy from a spectator point of view......... looks like if you are a winger in GPS rugby, unless you go looking for the ball, it's unlikely to come to you at the end of a sweeping backline move...hopefully all 3 sides stayed back to watch the REDs backs last night.........much better game (as you would expect)...........

I watched the last period of play between TSS and NC and have to agree that the skill level was down a bit. I was involved in some 1st XV coaching in 07-08 and these guys are a level down from that. To be fair though the last time I watched NC play JOC (James O'Connor) was in the team and I also got to see a TSS team with Slipper, Simmons, Lance, Tapui, Morahan's so it was a special time in GPS rugby. Didn't see anyone of that quality out there on Saturday night.
The TSS & NC teams of '07-'08 and BSHS team of '09 were absolutely brilliant sidesThat TSS team on 2006 and 2007 and the BSHS team in 2007 and 2008 were all special - reckon it will be many years before those teams are replicated - quite a few have gone on to bigger and better things. NC in 2007 (i think) had JOC (James O'Connor) and he was dynamite
and ofcourse the ipswich team of 06 !
I have also seen many 1st XV teams that were written off before a game come out and beat fancied teams through enthusiasm and execution of a simple game plan.
No. Watched a relation (NC) play a trial against GT on 9 April & he knocks around with GT grade 12s
