QLD GPS Rugby 2018

Not sure where you get your information from, I think if you asked most of the Yr 12 boys how they felt, your response would be very incorrect. And I think you will also find that their attitude towards the head coach of the Firsts squad is nothing short of contempt (along with most of the Firsts). There were a number of boys who were as good as the selected boys from the lower grades, but from what I understand it is all about Tom’s team of 2020, and at the cost of a passion to play for the Red and Black.

Same thing the same bloke did to BBC a few years ago. Similar words being bandied around - Played favourites, toxic culture ....

Nudgee must be the most dominant First XV in many years. They played as a team in every game, always looked composed and like they had a plan. Well led by Vella and with Pasitoa back, must start warm favourites to make it a three-peat next year.

Prince excellent coaching as well not only 1st’s however 2nd’s as well. Huge buy in from this age group, it makes a big difference.

BSHS get up in a fine and tough game against Ippy. Massive improvement during the season, should be stronger for it next year with a few returning players and a decently strong 16A. Though something tells me that season could be decided by NC v TSS in round one. Will have to watch the replay, sounded like a cracker.

Also heard Churchie blew it against BBC, anyone at the game?

You heard wrong about the game at Toowong
29-22 to BBC .
ACGS never got within 7 points -never lead at any stage,
BBC were far more explosive but too many silly misktakes


Surprise surprise-the BBC wingers were electric(Savage 2 tries) and EVERY ACGS try was a pick and drive-contrasting styles you might say.

Maybe they meant to say BBC could have won by more?

I see NC wrapped up the title too in the seconds with what looks like an easy win by the score.

As usual, wrong.

Churchie led 12-7. BBC 14-12. BBC 19-12. BBC 22-12. BBC 22-19. Final 29-22. Just report it as it happened. Plenty of times within 7.

Today’s game two completely contrasting halves. NC completely in control at half time 24-0, TSS roar back I the second half with their massive forwards causing havoc close to the ruck. TSS looked liked they would steal the game at the end however nudgee held onto the ball long enough for try scoring whiz Bennett to sneak over in the corner. Fantastic game played by very skilled players, luv to see some of these boys develop into bigger and better things .

Ok
Lets rephrase
1) ACGS never looked like winning;
2) ACGs 14,11,and the star new boy at 13 never touched the ball.
Pick and drive by ACGS very good -but not pretty
Great wins by BBC
2ndxv
16A and 14 A by 50
15A by 30

NC #4 being in year 10 is another frightening prospect. Thought has was very good.

[Confucius Say]

Could be record number of player back next year with Terrace, IGS, BBC and State High all having large number of the year 11 (and year 10) boy representing their school in 2018. Hopefully, will improve quality of First XV rugby next year which has been, with exception of NC, inconsistent at best but overall, probably a bit under par.

Very large gap between the top 2 team and the rest. Whilst Grammar got close to TSS & BBC, could not get the win. How did GT put 45 on TSS and not win? How did IGS lead TSS by 20 and not win? Credit to resolve of Southport in both game.

Biggest disappointment - TGS, GT and BBC
Most impressive - NC
Most improve - BGS

Next year, NC and BBC (subject to coaching/selection/who play at #10) probably start favourite but IGS will be in the mix. Cannot see other team challenging these 3 despite TSS sharing first on ladder with BBC in 16A.

Under the pressure of First XV rugby, the key position is #10 and IGS & State High with NC probably have the top 3 in 2019.

GT rugby has a lot of work to do.

Congratulations to Nudgee - Premiers 2018.

3rd Place play-off had BBC needing a win over ACGS in order to finish 3rd with them. (2nd XV and 16As footage to come).

Thanks again Tashara and good old NC 16A beat TSS to make that a tied TSS BBC premiership - are you able to advise how many players from yesterday’s BBC 1st XV are in Grade 11? And also how many of the 16A are in grade 10 if any?

8 in this week's starting team
4 additional Yr11's (edit: regular starters) either injured or not starting on the weekend
1 regular run-on reserve

So that's 13 returning 1stXV players (2 of which are Year 10)

The 16A's have 4 Yr10s

That's as far as I know. Happy to be corrected though.

Agree on 10 importance but it’s Reesjan and daylight

2 x QLD League Five Eights at BBC with Lukas Ripley playing junior State of Origin ( U16 ) this year and Connor Claridge being a perennial five eight choice in all prior QLD league teams in the age group

Both also have 12 and 15 capacity .

With all respect to Walker ( IGS ) and Jones ( BSHS ) they are not advanced beyond either of these guys notwithstanding all guys have their own individual strengths over the other

 

[The Nomad]

Biggest threat to Reesjan and NC for 2019 is that with his third year in First XV , back to back premierships and Aussie Schoolboys selection behind him , he might get bored.

 

[The Whisperer]

So Final Premierships are as follows I believe:

1st XV: Nudgee
2nd XV: Nudgee
16A: TSS, BBC
15A: Nudgee, IGS, State High, TSS
14A: State High
13A: State High, IGS, Churchie
12A: State High, Churchie
