For the record, all these Grammar posters who are saying they are the best school boy team in Australia and who are victimising Light for not predicting you to win it (and rightly so), you need to realise that you go to Grammar. You have been the laughing stock of the GPS for years and need to remember that this is the first time you have won outright in 40 years.
For starters, one poster jokingly referred to BGS as the best schoolboy team in history. As for this year, who's to say they aren't the best schoolboy team in the nation this year? They just won GPS QLD so they wouldn't be too far off.
Secondly, any criticism of Light is not at all because he didn't tip a BGS competition victory- I didn't even tip a BGS premiership, nor did a large proportion of Grammar posters. I can tell you right now that the constant dismissal of BGS as a genuine competition threat in conjunction with the excessive promotion of a seemingly unbeatable Churchie side is the motivation for these comments. Staying completely away from any personal opinions or biases, the criticism stems from his brash pre-season statements and his constant refusal to acknowledge the true potential of the BGS line-up- even after the opening few rounds of the comp.
And finally, calling BGS the laughing stock of the GPS is pretty unjustified. We've had some truly shocking rugby results over the years but 10 consecutive Volleyball premierships (which all schools play, as far as I'm aware), consistently high placings in Track & Field and Swimming, and overwhelming historical dominance in Gymnastics (reigning premiers), Tennis (reigning premiers) and debating (QDU State Champions) would suggest we're far from a laughing stock- especially if you factor in academic results, but lets leave it at that.
