Well GT like their starting props to have very little experience and to have played in the back row the season before so that'll help.

Y'know Reesjan Pasiota had a pretty bloody good season for a 16 year old
10 is the one of the hardest positions on the field and to handle it as he did as a 16 year old on a premiership winning team.....was very impressive
Nudgee's midfield defense was brutal and a big part of their success . Having Joe Small at 12 was a masterstroke , and having a harder head / older guy at 12 around a younger 10 is a big benefit IMO ...but Flook , at 13 , was also only 16 too - so 2 guys in your midfield as 16 year olds and to still win a premiership ..... great effort

Agreed better than Gordon but not as good as the Coast boy - IMO the first 2 surpass the latter in 2018.
I might say Reesjan had the best 16 year I can remember in the past few - but he showed his inexperience against GT in round 1.
Elton Flatley was u15 when he played firsts. I think he was the last ever before they made rules against that.

Yes I know that, I watched him play in each of his three years.
But, he didn’t dominate the competition in his first year hence my answer.

Didn't Curtis Browning and Angus Leaghy both play firsts at 15 - in the forwards??

He is U17 , not sure what year at school he is in. Maybe doing senior school over three years? He has dominated his age group since U13 and is scary enough as a 17 year old , yet alone if he comes back next year at 18!

Nah, somehow Fraser McReight flew under the age limit radar a couple of years ago and played for BGS First XV as a 15 yr old. It sounded alarm bells within the Rugby bureaucracy as a safety issue and now there is no way any 15 year old will be playing against 18 year olds in Rugby. No matter how good they are.

Nathan McNab (IGS) played 1st XV as a winger in year 8 and served five years in the firsts, becoming a regular in Gr 9, representing Q Country U16 and Q2 in Gr 10 and captaining the 1st XV in year 12 as a centre. Selection politics seemed to count against him going further as he was a stand out in the Q Schools trials in Gr 12. Curtis Browning played Aust A schools and made the Aust Schools tour as a Gr 10 forward in 2009. In those days, good enough meant old enough. As far as I'm concerned, it still does.

If you are talking about Zane from TSS I think you will find that he was close to that weight as a U13

why change something that isnt broken.
Terrace has 3,8, 9, 11, 13, 14 and 2 reg reserves 1 big forward and 1 quick back. So 8 back in total 5 played every game 1 played in at least 5 games 2 played in at least 2 games. GT will finish above BBC and TGS

Ah you gotta love your brother, don't ya! Love when GT and BBC talk it up.
Only one thing to say BraveandGame, NC by 1 point again this year.

I understand, I think, the mobility and break-down capabilities of a front row (having back rower experience), but what happens when you come up against an experienced front rower, are you will to forego a potential major set piece for that?

Don't get me wrong Sage, never said it was a good thing just a regular one.
Does NC get 2 shots at goal each time again or was that a one off??
At any rate I don't think GT are due to beat NC again until about 2027!!
