QLD GPS Rugby 2014

[Getwithme]

Can anybody clear up this confusion/trolling and name the current 1st team for GT. Kyle Leofa going from QLD captain to 2nds this just shows how important fitness is.

I'll give it a go.

1. Kyle Leofa ( I haven't heard he's dropped)
2. Tim McMahon
3. Jacob Stanley
4. Tim Duffy/Patty Carrigan
5. Patty Carrigan/ Ted Porter
6. Ted Porter/ Hiale Slade-Roycroft
7. Connor Moroney
8. George Cox
9. Reuben Wall
10. Alex Horan
11. Quillan Pritchard-Malaki
12. Conor McNamara/Hiale Slade-Roycroft
13. Nikau Te Rupe
14. Open/ Matt Forsyth?
15. Nick Weller

Looks about right i cant see Roycroft playing anywhere but 12, although i do like McMamara, I prefer porter at 6 too. Is Forsythe the BGS boy is he at GT?

Just to clarify one more time no one is saying Leofa is dropped just he needs a lot of fitness work before the season kicks off as it strands he couldn't play 70 mins and is getting his reps with the 2's.

Maybe it's just too early and I'm not thinking straight, but I can't remember why Matt Forsyth would be ineligible to start for GT immediately.

I grant that it's highly unlikely he's on some form on scholarship, but what makes his case different from any other stock standard import in to year 11? I recall Nikau, Lanskey, Perese, Pilz, Hewat, Fox, Wolstenholme and others all started immediately for their First XVs.

I recall the issue with Asiata was that he was parachuted in to grade 12 weeks before the season commenced and repeated to play in 2014.

Why didn't Hiale play? And what reason would Forsyth not play?

Hey Rugby Fella, who is the back up hooker? Seems to have some promise is he in grade 11????

As BetaHater said Dom Fraser is a good hooker also. Commonly refered to as the flying pancake he is one of the fittest and best tacklers at Terrace.

 

[RugbyFella]

What a joke! Dom Fraser is in Grade 12

Different Dom Fraser... can be very confusing

 

[SamoanNo8]

Different Dom Fraser. can be very confusing

Ah ok, my bad.

 

[Getwithme]

Ah ok, my bad.

Hahaha I swear there is no different Dom Fraser.
Back up hookers would be Matt Harlow/player from year 12 (who might be Dom Fraser I'm not sure)

I hear that BBC 2nd string team with 14 of the main first team out played an Ipswich team with 5(?)or 4? players out of their squad in a trial game today.
A lot of the 15A's stepped up I hear from last year.
BBC stopped counting at 40-nil!

Sadly it looks like Smith has major problems passing the ball .......where do you put a league 2nd rower that can not pass a ball???
In the forwards? Just don't think he has the brain for rugby and doesn't understand that as a centre he gets the ball out to the faster wingers.
looking good for the 16A's and depth for BBC rugby.

 

[Havealook]

I think that BBC stopped counting because that was the end score (maybe 44-0). Floodgates really opened either side of half time.

I've heard TSS beat NC 3 tries to 2

Just thought I'd leave this here..

BBC and IGS had a group prayer today, it's a nice touch for two schools to embrace each other like this after the game. Even though the game was one sided, there's some great sportsmanship here.

What a great example for other schools to follow.

Isnt IGS a secular school?

Yeah I believe so. It looks like the players on the First XV are religious enough, though.

Regardless of belief systems I quite like the idea. It'd be pretty hard to hold a grudge after a game after taking a knee and praying together.

Good touch. Done often in club games. Schoolboy rugby players seem to group together well no matter their background for a prayer.

Love it

Any stand out performances at tennyson yesterday?

X Factor:
There coach Dave Eagle, apparently very good

David Eagle is at IGS??

He's an absolute legend of Schoolboy Rugby in Queensland, he coached BSHS to a bazillion premierships, oversaw a program that produced Ed Quirk, Chris Sautia, Matt To'omua, Paul Alo Emile, and Curtis Browning as well as several dozen Australian Schoolboy reps. When Eagle and his parter Graham Noon left BSHS the program went to the dogs, this is the first year they've started to come good under Sione Fukofuka
