The King's Round 1 Tips
1. Gregory Terrace @ Nudgee College
It looks like we might have a competition in the Second XV as Nudgee name a team almost as strong as TSS' will prove to be.
However, the First XV is at risk of dropping their first game to Terrace on Ross Oval in donkeys years.
I think there's more talent spread across this Terrace team even missing Oyelodi and Gassman in Round One, so I'm expecting a GT win by 6.
2. Brisbane State High @ The Southport School
Cruelled by injuries, Southport's well-rested First XV should pile on the points here.
I suspect a 27-pt TSS win.
3. Brisbane Boys' College @ Ipswich Grammar School
I highly rate the Ipswich pack, but they're missing an important piece in outside centre Clyde Rapilla. BBC's forward pack can go toe to toe with Ippy's and there's more class across the backline.
This should translate to a tight BBC win. Maybe by 2.
4. Toowoomba Grammar School @ Brisbane Grammar School
I remember this last fixture well. TGS were vey good under Hamish Stewart in the rain at Northgate.
Time for revenge; BGS to shock TGS with an 8 point win.
