They're probably right as well, Charles may be a forwards/backs coach, or attack/defence coach, anything.. But I've spoken with a few players who have been raving about Eagle, so I can confirm he is the head coach

Rob Charles was an Australian Schoolboy No 12 in 1985 - very handy footballer in the IGS XV that won the title that year. Assume this is the same guy.

Churchie vs igs was a phenomenal game on churchies part as they were very dominant around the park especially in the backs with the likes of ponga and perese (who scored a hatrick) running around wreaking havoc. Igs were incredibly disappointing, silly knock ons and turnovers killed them in the end churchie took full advantage of this. Looking forward to how churchie play against state high and see if they can prove to be premiership worthy.

Terrace vs Nudgee Trail match 35-35. I wouldn't get ahead of yourself. Going to be the game of the season.
Hope your not hanging your hat on the trials... Lol.. Very dangerous

I wouldn't say 'hanging my hat' i would say more an estimate. Trail matches are very accurate indications to what will happen during the season.

Just be aware that in that trial game eight of the best players from Nudgee were out with rep duties (City side) or injury while GT were only missing two players.

Hey Nick, I meant to say good write up. I appreciate you having a crack at reporting on your favourite team and adding some colour to the thread on teams outside the Firsts.
After reading reports re TSS v BBC I had to watch the game online, BBC definitely forced into a lot of errors from high pressure defence, not great line speed from TSS but hard effective tackles. TSS #7 tackled very well and on the ball all day and #5 cranked all day (great to see from a tight pig). TSS backs defended well with #15 joining the line nicely in attack not to mention a fine cultivated boot. Like to see a bit more depth in their attack.
BBC needed a fire put under them, when they decided to show a bit of anger they started playing some effective rugby, to much individual play in the back line...look for your support boys.
Next round will be a great challenge for both teams for opposite reasons.
Best on field TSS, 3 pts #7, 2pts #15, 1 pt #6.
Best on field BCC, props and the full back, not much in between, once boys get their heads in it we'll be right... maybe.

It comes down to basics: BBC clean out was not effective, too many players not going past the ball: resulting in TSS strong counter rucking: all leading to break down in support structures for BBC hit ups. TSS, on the other hand, hand better skill/discipline at the break down and were able to build pressure.
Second half demonstrated this perfectly- totally different game, both sides more evenly match, BBC gained some structure and were able to build pressure.
Back to basics boys, do the simple things right.
Interestingly some late replacements backs for BBC seemed to be able to settle the back-line down and have an impact: again, it's not all about glamour players, it's cool heads and getting the basics right.

TGS v BBC the hardest pick this week and I don't want to lose my perfect streak (which was NOT a fluke, despite what @TheKing may tell you)
I think TSS v GT is a much tougher call, TSS form before beating what is looking like a poorly balanced BBC Team was not exactly stellar. My guess is it is ACGS and NC daylight then GT TSS and maybe BBC. BBC will account for TGS comfortably this weekend at home. They are bigger and more skillful, their problems arise when they player bigger OR more skillful teams.

So you don't rate TGS that highly then? I may be underestimating GT a little bit but I thought to put 40+ points into a team like BBC, even with their faults, you'd have to be pretty darn good.
