At the risk of annoying somebody, I've posted this here.. There's no GPS reminiscing thread, so figured this was the next best place.
I had the privilege to work with GPS halfback Sam Grasso on the Premier Rugby radio show this week, and we had a quick chat about 2007 that I thought would interest many here.
The 2007 Nudgee First XV lost to Southport by 2 points, sealing an undefeated Premiership for the beach boys.
Have a look at the quality in these two sides.. If anybody can fill in the blanks, or correct positions, please do!
