Agreed but hopefully a lot of young men leaving school rugby this year continue in the game. Also fairly certain Sam Cordingley is there by invitation.

Correct ps. Not only 'guilty of this' in years past, but it was more often than not the norm for most if not all GPS schoolboy supporters! And, to the best of my knowledge, other than the perennially sour grapes brigade that didn't like it when they lost, it was accepted by most everybody else as little more than schoolboy exuberance and raw schoolboy camaraderie with few deleterious effects.
This year it seems unidentified GPS powers that be have newly discovered the notion that all this is inappropriate and handshaking moments and such like must be sanctified along with no instant rush of supporters' celebration etc. I mean, why this year and not thirty or three years ago, is something of a mystery.
I'll be there on the GPS sidelines again in 2016, intrigued to see how long the 'new enforcement regime' - in all its grey solemnity - lasts.

Wow look at all the churchie bashing going on, now that they have at least one hand on the trophy. Not surprising from Nudgee and TSS supporters, but clearly biased remarks. Not many of us did pick them for top four this year and to be honest with them winning two years in a row, I have not been witness to a "win at all cost" attitude and I am not sure what your weird perspective on that is. An example would be good. To argue about running onto a football field passionate about your school team's win (which all GPS teams have done in the past - and we all know it), and stating it is not in the spirit of GPS rugby, laugh out loud lads! Sage you have bagged Churchie all throughout this season and picked apart one of their best players, for no real cause, as if you were the God of rugby, all the while showing your true GPS spirit in doing so. Churchie did the unexpected this year and should be congratulated. They were accused last year of having just an all star team, but this year backed it up with a team that obviously believed in themselves and did the job better than the others. No sour grapes for me thanks.

Talk about self-demeaning, condescending cheap shots against a poster with, seemingly, a contrary viewpoint to yours. Uppercut yourself. Argue the issues. There's plenty of people in our country that make a few spelling or grammatical errors, doesn't mean their point of view shouldn't be respected or listened to.
Happy to Chat

Well they should not be throwing the first stone by calling someone narrow minded and with that his family, it's an opinion for goodness sake! Now you can go and give yourself an uppercut. END!

Righto it's time for a cup of tea, a Bex and lie down for you lot!
Churchie will probably win the comp and they deserve to.
Nudgee, TSS and BBC all showed they were good enough to win as well, but didn't put it together when it mattered.
We are in the age of the Nanny State and it was only a matter of time before a silly rule was instigated like the one that has consumed some many sentences and characters above. Deal with it.
The idea of recruiting players is not new. Some schools have been doing it for 20 years, others 4 years, others have started to give it a go this year. Either way it's happening.....IGS 13As,GT 14As, BBC 16As, TSS Firsts and the rest!
Enjoy the rugby you good natured banterers! But let's lighten the mood and remove ourselves from our pedestals....

Getting towards that time of the year. Hang in there folks.
Not long to go now.

Nope and if you had been there to witness them getting out of goal V GT in round 1, you would have had them at very long odds (as I did)
The way they have have come together and taken their opportunities deserves much respect.

@redshappy we would be disappointed if you did - it's your Range Rover and they are your heated seats - you are welcome to stay in them!
Love ya work...and congrats on P'ship No. 2 Churchie supporters!

Teams for TSS v BSHS
Gee TSS have had a good year with injuries. All their "Big Guns" have not missed a match. Riley did not dominate like I predicted.
Every time I see Matt Smit play-he gives 100%.

Take a pill BaG. Like I said , and I am glad you agree, they are only 13 - it was a wonderful game - lets keep the talk about that.

Just a btw, the TSS loose forwards were very impressive, and consistently so, vs Churchie last weekend.
They turned the momentum against Churchie from about minute 30 and kept up the same to the end, just great skills. IMO, if TSS had won, in significant part it'd be down to them.

BBC need to put old boys day on when they play a top 4 team... current score 52-5 and not even half time. This could get very ugly
