Not sure if I have a stalker or not = I only set up one account and entered one set of tips may be a glitch.

I believe its 2 boys, but close enough.
BBC 12-0 up and coasting, then 29 unanswered points.

I know this a sensitive issue but could anyone here care to explain how Hiale Roycroft is deemed to be effectively less elegible to play firsts footy as a student brought in during term 2 of 2013 then all the other students brought in on scholarships at the commencement of this year?
Can anyone also confirm if Richie Asiata ran on during Churchies win over IGS? Off memory he was brought in mid-semester 2013.

Can confirm Richie Asiata ran on. Who was 12 for GT? Was he much better than Hiale?
I think it's going to be a very long season for BBC, the big forward pack looks very slow and not committed, also the backs seem to crab across the field.
Barker has a hard road ahead to get the boys firing.

It is due to a rule that I was told was brought in late last year but has not been published on the GPS Qld website. So I cannot state as absolute fact that this is the rule.
But this rule supposedly requires a student who is on a scholarship to have commenced at the beginning of term 1 in year 11 to be eligible to play in Firsts rugby (not sure of other sports)
Apparently Hiale Roycroft did not commence until Term 2 last year in yr11 on a part scholarship.
The confusion over his eligibility not being known was due to this rule being made retrospective which did not appear to be consistent with other rules made by the Qld GPS Assoc.
Other players from other schools that did not start in Term 1 of year 11 last year have been stated by their schools to be full fee paying students for the whole of the year and are therefore eligible. GT have put up their hand and said that Roycroft was not eligible. It is yet to be stated which school has kicked up the stink to cause this.
But like I said in an earlier post, I heard a couple of very different versions from different levels of source but this one sounded the most plausible and from a couple of sources.

Well done - which account was yours on the Tipping page? I see RuggasXV (I'm assuming a fluke
), "grassy", "mungindigrasshoppers", and BraveandGame all had perfect scores.They certainly do - my only thoughts were the same as Dark Sharks, they must be over worked. As far as I could tell BBC had at least 6 trial matches, and possibly 7. Churchie had 6 I believe, not including their tour to Scotland. These two schools have both had huge preseasons. Churchie according to rumours start their pre-season in November each year! Curious to see the difference in results. Were TSS just that good? I remember seeing their trial against Toowoomba and being very unimpressed. I can't wait to read @Sam Hausers match report tomorrow morning on the front page
Don't quite agree with you here. Let's not forget about BGS' tumultuous off season. The forward pack outside of Dooley and Egan have zero First XV experience, and Egan was injured for round 1. The backline in an ideal world might have gone something like
9. Halliday
10. Sly (who spent a long time this pre-season injured - he tells me he's lost 10% vision in one of his eyes after accidentally head butting a touchie's flag in a league match)
11. Wolstenholme
12.
13.
14.
15. Fison
That's a lot of punch lost in the backline. McCorley was in fine form before he withdrew from the school with some serious personal issues, and cracked GPS 3.
Lanskey started in that U16 Origin side, but had a shoulder reco 16 weeks ago (eying an optimistic return against Churchie - the coaches are advising against though)
Forsyth, don't get me started... He will play very well in the GT 16As. It'll be interesting to see if the 'Hiale rule' will apply to him next year...........
Bad injury to BBC prop.Ambulance came.They changed fields and BBC were leading 12 nil.Then they coasted.
All I can say is that in my decade of watching 1st xv rugby I have never seen a team that flat.They were exhausted and unstructured after 15 minutes.It was ridiculous .Examples:
1) Dylan Leyland was the biggest player on the field ,a 2nd year 1st xv player and Qld 2 lock.I did not see him touch the ball';
2) Farrell (7) is the best athlete in the BBC team and Qld 1 player.He did nothing.
In the trials BBC steamrolled TSS without their stars.It was woeful.No goalkicker ,lost 5 lineouts with the 2 biggest locks in the comp. Two representetive props and the scrum was pushed around.
Note to selectors-John Tamoura (a workhorse ) had a blinder in the 2nds as did Tom Jellie(15).
oh -I forgot Jellie was in Noel Mcleans camp.
Phillpotts where are you.
a star team will always beat a team of .........

I thought the BBC scrum held their own in the first half at least. It was mainly in the second half I thought they were out muscled. Some changes in the backs seemed to make the attacking difference in the second half. Agree their hooking woes continue.
Shell shocked by TSS I think and unable to fully recover. Harsh introduction to 1st XV for some of the BBC boys.
I heard that the flu had raged through the squad in the last couple of weeks. No excuses but probably didn't help.
Yes, it was a 'welcome to 1st XV rugby' to some young players who are used to being stars: the BBC front row seemed to hold it's own or better, but the scrum appeared to lack shove from behind. But terrible lack of structure in the 1st 1/2.

Agreed, the front row seemed solid, although slightly less so in the 2nd half. Think you're right re: shove from behind. #6 looked like he was only about 60kg, and #8 not much more. Missing the muscle/grunt of Tuuga and Gunter.
