QLD GPS Rugby 2018

[Rugrat]

Watching NC in the last 8-9 Year’s I’ve never seen a first XV so devoid of superstars however never seen a year so strong in depth. Possibly up to 5- 6 first choice players out however gut feel is they clean up in Opens again. This is a very tight year. All first XV teams seem to have a day off during the season however I don’t think it will be this weekend. Good luck to all the boys and hopefully no major injuries.

I think Pasitoa has the potential to be a superstar. Impressed that he and others in the NC team absolutely play as team first and foremost. No ego or self interest or overly individual play. That is the real sign of individual potential. The depth at NC is impressive across the age groups.

BGS V TSS
Brisbane Grammar I am a fan, and you were gallant against Churchie, even ignoring they had one of their best sent off. I am afraid there is no way out of this, TSS made a mincemeat of TGS in the Shark Tank, and they embarrassed everyone at TGS, including me who tipped a long shot upset…. dumb. TSS is playing some unbelievable rugby, Parata was a Maestro. Now I know this is difficult to believe but I have watched and re-watched the tapes, and Cambell Parata the TSS fly-half was so in control of the game, that I am pretty sure at one stage he was making the lineout calls. I know that might not be a massive surprise to some perhaps a little unorthodox at best, however, hear me out, he was making them for the Toowoomba boys and they were listening. (The throw wasn’t straight but never the less he was still calling them) .I am pretty sure he also had a chat with them at halftime as well. Brisbane Grammar I am sorry, another rugby lesson on the way. Boys don’t worry Parata will more than likely head into the change rooms and have a chat to you before the game about how he wants you to play it. TSS by 40

Gee WW, I have to agree, I came away from last weeks game trying to remember the last time I have seen a 10 so completely control a game of rugby. I laughed when he was cheeky enough to stand with TGS hooker and caller as they sorted what they were doing, actually thought he cheeky enough to be a 9!! If he can in anyway duplicate that effort, with a pretty handy team like TSS around him, they could be very very hard to come close too.

Ever wondered why he regularly stands there for defensive lineouts ?

Are they that worried about his defence? Or just trying to protect him from the traffic that would be headed his way if he stood at 10?

Careful now you don’t want to let too much of the Cat out of the bag before GT assumes the position v TSS

Geez Nomad, I am buggered if I can work it out, I have wondered about that myself. Is it his defence (mind you don't know I would want a poor defender there, because you cop the blindside moves), or is it so he running around to take ball from any breakdown that quite often happens 10-15 metres infield. Seems a little strange to put your 9 in the 10 position top take the traffic that comes through there. Must watch again and see if the new 9 also stands in the 10 position!

The Southport School have edged Brisbane Grammar 25-20 at Northgate.

BBC cruised past IGS 55-12 in a big win on Old Boys Day at the old school campus in Ipswich.

Churchie's defence led the way in 24-12 winover Gregory Terrace.

Nudgee College currently lead Toowoomba Grammar 31-5, moments into the second half.

 

[Confucius Say]

NC 62 TGS 10. No bounce back from the TGS First. Nudgee all class and playing away did not bother. They now have scored 161 points in the last 3 games. Wow.

And on current form, Grammar will beat Terrace next week.

Hopefully, no major injury this week.

Great Old Boys day at IGS back at the old school grounds,
That BBC backline was too big,fast and slick -and scored some brilliant tries in a 55-12 win.
BBC lock (yellow head gear ) was my MOM followed by IGS 9 and IGS 15.
If there has been a faster 11,14 & 15 than BBC has now in the last decade -I have not seen it. Would like to see a match -race between them -I would back 14 (just).

PS-Do not thibk BBC has forward muscle to beat TSS;
BBC 10 does not have the kicking game of TSS 10.
Both IGS tries off kick errors

 

[Rugby follower]

NC First XV 67-10
NC 2nd XV 34-12
NC 16A 20-12

1st’s and 2nds had very dominant wins.

I believe the BBC winger is the QLD 200m sprinting State Champion.

It was a serious question from me , I haven’t watched a lot of TSS , but every game I have seen for the past 2 seasons , that is where he stands for defensive lineouts .

Agree , you would think that someone would have challenged that short channel by now . The first pick 9 for TSS is very good defensively , played back row up until around U15, and is very good over the ball. Have seen him put some great hits on this year and get a few pilfers , so maybe it’s as simple as that .

Normally a reason why a player regularly stands out of position in defence . Particularly when he is the quality of Parata.

He is not. BBC did bring a lad (Nketia) from ACT this year but he has returned home...that boy did win the QLD Junior U18 sprint double this year (February). The 15,Bowyer, was 7th in both the 100 and 200 in that comp...his times were ok but not outstanding. the State Juniors is not the same quality as the QLD Schools champs that are in October.
