Well whats the rumour on the coaching fronts....

Churchie, TSS, Nudgee, Toowoomba- stable
Grammar - advertising
GT - might be changes due to committment levels
BSHS - surely this year they are changing
BBC - probably stable but hey who knows

 

[Frank_The_Tank]

How is the mighty red and white of IGS shaping up for next season? Pretty disappointing this year to be honest, with 0 wins.

 

[BraveandGame]

So who is back for 2016 from this years firsts

GT have
1,2,3,7,8,10,11 back along with the 7 that started the season and a 14 who played 2-3 games.

Actually think that there will be a lot of pressure for some of those to hold their spot next year will be great to see GT with some real depth in 2016

 

[Getwithme]

Grammar have about 7 back too. Will push a few teams next year

I count 8 who have played in the firsts this year with another 7 that trained with them, 2 of these had some bench time, 2 are currently in year 10, injuries during pre-season and trials kept the rest off the paddock.
2 will be playing their 3rd season next year. 3 will be turning 18.
Add some handy players from the 16's and maybe 2016 will be a better year for BGS. This cohort had a particularly strong forward pack a few years ago when they were all together. However, couldn't contest scrums this year in the 16s with such a depleted team.

New head coach and new forwards coach may or may not be a good thing at this stage. Time will tell.
No idea about any "new boys".
Not talking BGS up, just saying that they should be more competitive if things click.
I expect GT will have a much better year next year as well.

Unfortunately Realdeal word around BSHS is that the current First XV coach will be back again next year.

Did a fair job this year?

 

[Gungenia]

After coming 3rd in 2015 with some 9 representative players( 2 Qld reps played nil matches and 1 Aussie schools star player only played 2 matches and having 4 differnt 12s in 8 games)everyone at BBC has signed a confidentiality agreement drafted by Wayne Bennet that reads " We will do our best and focus on one week at a time . Thats all we have to say"

 

[Heavens game]

Jeremy Hamilton from BSH will prove deadly next year in 1st 15, his variety of skill as a prop will come in handy for state high. His ability to not only knock players on their arse but to side step and dummy is a huge strength of his. Speaking of strength, this kid is BIG, player to watch next year!

Wow really

 

[Getwithme]

On a serious note, State high, Nudgee and TSS to be the favourites this coming year. High number of boys plating again and some solid coaching units

 

[LineBreak15]

TSS have a fair few boys back from this year with Dowd, Mavoa, Day, Lolesio, Blyth, Mcelroy and Siggs who started a few games but despite that the 16A's for them this year were amazing. Im expecting a solid 2016 season from them.

 

[Danny Jnr]

I see Churchie finished there rugby season on a high beating TSS in the rugby 7's final on the weekend. I'm not sure that they will be in the hunt next year but the last 2 years have been outstanding and I think they have exceeded all expectation. I'm not sure they have many back for next year.
Next year it will finish something like this:
TSS
Nudgee
Terrace
BBC
I thing the others will struggle.

 

[Willie-John McBride]

Too early for team predictions?

 

[Garry Owens]

I just want to welcome Willie John McBride

You have inspired me to consider changing my name to Moss Keane

 

[Garry Owens]

Or Willie Duggan

I loved those Irish Teams from the 70's and early 80's

The famous Munster win ( I think in 77 or 78 ) with the great Tony Ward at 10 waxing the All Blacks on tour .......Rugby Legend

But I digress .......

Toowoomba Grammar are the Horsemen of the Apocalypse that are a comin.........

Nudgee and TSS probably have the best coaches in the comp. But State high probably the worst..

 

[Getwithme]

State high will have the most talented playing group with a whole bunch of year 11's returning however
