GT firsts had very little possession for for 50 minutes and when they did the game changed.
BBC forwards a lot better than I would have thought and the backs are very talented but playing too flat and throwing wild passes that TSS and NC will convert to tries.
GT will do very well this year good team and we’re right in it until the last minute.
BBC poised for 3rd place - TSS n NC forwards will challenge them - their line out throws and jumps however were first class!!!

Well as I said the other day in here ,have decided to follow GPS rugby for the year, and picked (without knowing anything) TSS as the team to follow. By geez what a bloody good game , and a good team. Don't really know any players but some to stand out for me in a very good team were the No 9, probably the best pass I have seen on young fella for a long time, No 10 looked a good balanced player and can certainly kick, No 12 played the real 2nd 5 game , very bloody good. Rest of backline was good too, and the forwards were all pretty good with No 8 looking very impressive, if I had one very small criticism of them was a couple of times the props were seeming to clog up the background a little.
All in all very good and I will certainly be there the rest of year!

No idea of the details sorry. Just received this from a family member last night.
And I’d happened across this article earlier in the day.

Early season predictions on premiers:
13A - IGS - HUGE boys
14 A- BSHS have gone past BBC with some handy additions
15 A- NC -the big improvers-and have beefed up their backline;
16 A- BBC -from what I can see only 3 or 4 have gone up from that brlliant eam of last year;
2nds - NC/BBC -neither have lost a match this year(and both dished up ACGS 2nds which TSS struggled to do)
1sts NC to just beat TSS ...................then daylight.Yes TSS were frightening on Saturday-but this crucial match is at Ross oval & NC have better depth.I actually have real concerns that later in the year (when injuries affect some weaker teams)there will be some big blowout scores (which has not happened since 2014)
Also there are a lot of very talented boys moving from WA to Qld on scholarships -NC 10,TSS 10 ,GT 13-will we keep them ?
I hear TSS 10 is off to Crusaders ,

Just to put some good news out there one of TGS Boys is out of hospital and was at the rugby on Saturday walking around only a week after been operated on, they are expecting a full recovery but will take a bit of time.
Lets hope this is positive for the other two boys.

TGS 2nds look very good and are sharp
TGS 1sts I think are going to be a handful and a headache and may just be the competition spoilers.
A lot of depth there this year something which has been lacking in the past.

Best wishes to the GT boy who got injured.I am told it was a scrum collapse.
BW -I do not know enough about the younger teams to comment.But having been at Miskin on Sturday & having watched the TSS tape -I can say this.
I saw 2nd half of 2nd xv match & BBC 2nds forwards were big/mobile /aggressive. I think it was 28 nil.But 2nd xv rugby always depends on injuries in firsts.Don't count your chickens early.
In the 1st xv:
-BBC run all the time /run from everywhere game plan(think Fijian sevens) is exciting and the back 3 are sizzling -but they make mistakes and fall off tackles.I am pretty sure 14 & 11 both scored on opposite wings. Will that work against NC/TSS??;
-GT -I take my hat off to you.Down 24-6 at halftime with 30% possession-you had no right to be in the match;
-Disappointed in BBC forwards -they did not dominate a smaller pack and ball skills were average;
-The TSS 10 has better game management and far better kicking game than BBC 10. When you are up 24-6 and have 2 fastest wingers (see T&F times) in the comp-kick to corners & close out the match.That is what BBC 12 did that & that put the match out of reach.
-How did QRU let TSS 10 go to NZ??
- TSS /NC -match will decide premiership

BBC v GT 2nds was 19-0, considering what happened I am surprised to hear the GT players kept the scoreline that low. I hear they also blew several scores and could have easily made more of a game of it.
Nudgee's seconds touched up the BSHS boys pretty badly 41-0. There are some units in that team, pretty handy forward pack and some pace out wide. (though apparently BBC and TSS are bigger).
