QLD GPS Rugby 2018

Tashara

Larry Dwyer (12)
Does anyone have the BBC Starting XV from last weekend please?
Not sure why some names are missing from the GPS team list above, but a more complete list is as follows:

Awful blunder from Queensland Rugby if this is true. Another one to represent Australia at a junior level but snapped up by a New Zealand Academy system. Several have happened over the last few years so I hope this isn't true

He is a talented player but probably a bit to small to really get to the top.

You're very generous.

NC by 20 over GT
BBC by 30 over BGS
TSS by 30 over BSHS
IGS by 5 over TGS

I would tip the first 3 results - not sure about the margins. Don't know much about Ippy this year but having seen TGS demolish Downlands last Saturday, I think they will be too good for IGS at home. TGS by 12.

Didn't say big people aren't good. I said excluding small people is dumb. Barret, McKenzie would have been ignored here

You said NZ doesn't worry about size but they clearly do and rightly so.
Only small fella consistently starting for the AB's is Aaron Smith (as he performs his core roles way better than anyone else) and if it's turns into a slug fest they bring on TJ as size matters.
FYI Barret's 6'2" by the way.

It would appear that TSS will be without big number 8 Reno Gerrard and captain Tom Van der Schyft (6) this week end. They will de sorely missed.

GT v Nudgee
Ok ok here we go, the blockbuster of the season the Cattle Ticks vs the Fish Eaters. Nudgee will be super pumped about this and they are going into this a dead cert. Seriously as I said last week, these boys are the goods. Terrace won’t be able to hold a candle to the Blue and White and they will be full steam. Although the Terrace boys have some grit, so expect some fight and they have been well prepped this year. For example, to avoid another embarrassing incident like last year, the Terrace 1st XV has been told in no uncertain terms they must bend over, face the front, keep their mouth shut and say nothing when standing behind the post. Just stand there quietly and let them take the shot (not the first time they would have heard those words from a Catholic teacher). Anyway, as I have said I am on the Nudge and they will be too strong for their Catholic cousins. Nudgee by 12

BGS v BBC
Jeezuz Grammar you gotta show me something. You are better than this, I understand you academically focused, however, everyone is starting to get a little tired that at the start of every year and everytime you get belted, you roll back to the same old line. “We at Brisbane Grammar hold our academic culture much higher than our sporting culture”. That’s f%$cking fortunate because you would be in a right old mess if you didn’t. Anyway, you need to change your ways, everyone knows that school is important but rugby is importanter. BBC were pretty sharp last week, so start preparing the mantra again boys, because you're about to get schooled. BBC by 15

BSHS v TSS
Look out State High the freight train is coming and it’s not the one that you boys sprayed painted your tags on last weekend at Vulture St. It is big and white with 15 carriages and by Christ they go good. TSS made mincemeat of those Churchie Cream puffs and they won’t hold back on you boys. Best hope that you have is that the State funded bus breaks down on the way to game. TSS by 22. TSS train is coming.

TGS v IGS
OK so Ipswich beat BGS, but they might just have their hands full when they front up against the farmers. Fresh off bashing their half-brothers (which they have many) at Downlands last weekend, these boys I hear are rating themselves as a chance. Word is one those country boys had a great idea and bought a Braham bull in from Winton and they now have him playing 8. He made the Downlands game look like the Pamplona bull run. Downlands are one thing Ipswich is another, but I think they should let the bull off the chain and win by 8. Cause I don’t know if they have much else yet.
