QLD GPS Rugby 2019

[vac]

I haven't watched much Ippy footy this year. However, they and BSHS have a very long history of playing loose and trying to run out wide and make breaks. So the formula for them is to play the game tight, control the ball, be patient, and when they loosen up around the ruck, then run in or close around the ruck; make their halves do a lot of defensive work. A fair bit of Hammering, I suppose. Once that's controlled, then you can go out wide and hope that they have lost some of their structure.

Can we get back to U14A uncontested scrums please

 

[Digby2016]

Agreed, not much similarity (in boys)between NC u13A 2018 and U14A.


There was a question on Mastermind last night that related to your comment above?
Q-Who brings in more new players NC under 14 or TSS under 15?.
A-TSS by 5 (but both are over 10)

 

[Hound]

TGS v TSS - TSS by 15 - trip up the hill may blunt TSS a bit and TGS at home are aways a hard team to beat
GT v BSHS - GT by 7 - If and that is a big IF BSHS click GT will be in for a hard game.
BGS v ACGS - ACGS by 14 - ACGS backline to start to perform
IGS Vs NC - IGS by 7 - Only because IGS are at home but I can see NC playing their brand of rugby and coming away with the win.

 

[Patriot]

I was referring to tactics not players.
But mate, there are not 10+ new to the school players in the NC side.

 

[fairplay]

BBC v Downland will be another win to the boy from the bush. I am tipping them by 20+

Round 4 is a great round to have a bye if your 3 and 0 but I expect BBC will probably go with a 70-80% strong team on the day. At home, that’s probably enough. BBC to give them a reality check by 9 points.

And if Downlands do win I will just say “ Bah... humbug we didn’t play our best team anyway”. You have been warned

 

[Set piece magic]

Don't think Ippi's policy of just pinging the ball around will work against a team like Nudgee that always has rigid defence, set piece strength and pressure cooking attack. THey won't get the ball and if they do they will make mistakes under pressure.

Playing social touch against Toowoomba is completely different from fronting up to NC

 

[Les Patterson]

Nudgee by at least 10 points. If IGS give away as many penalties in the first half against TGS then Nudgee will win by more. Toowoomba's defence fell apart in the 2nd half. That won't happen with NC.

 

[Blanco]

Consistent structure and rigidity is harder to impose on a game for 70 mintues than it is to remove. Ipswich only need Nudgee to drop their guard for 10 minutes of game time and they will cause havoc.Ippy by 10.

 

[Jets]

Finally a round where the tipping might be a bit tougher with some good match ups.

True, except for their last match, and I know we all put a little * next to the battle for the colors... but they shipped a lot of points anyway, and they are probably facing a better team (definitely bigger) this week. I’m still tipping them because... well they are Nudgee but this match is up for grabs and Ippy at home, on a roll. I can’t wait to watch.

Obviously TSS is the deserved favourite against TGS tomorrow but I believe it might be closer than many pundits think. Having been a Toowoomba resident for many years TGS enjoy the best Home Ground advantage of any team, at Old Boys' Oval, particularly with the cold blustery conditions tipped for tomorrow.
With the wind chill factor bringing tomorrow's temp to under 10C the Southport boys will be wishing they were back on the Coast. Also with the East-West oval running into the sun (and the wind) in the 2nd half is not ideal particularly if you are the TSS fullback, under a high ball, getting crunched by a 105 kg raw boned young farmer, thoughts of Main Beach in the sun will come flooding back. Will be interesting. Tipping TSS by 12.

GT vs BSHS: GT by 15

 

[The Nomad]

Just been reading the paper , CM live streaming AIC rugby league games including lower age groups , there was no streaming of the AIC rugby union comp.

Seems a worrying trend to me .

They have been beaten to the punch by their own new league competition. Obviously the AIC schools don’t have a problem with streaming so just a case of dropping the ball from them with Union. Hopefully next year they will stream some open games. I also think that up until grade 11 or opens we probably need to chill out a little and just let kids learn to play the game and be kids. Absolutely any fan or parent can put together highlight or pump up videos...they are great. But advertising grade 9 games in the States biggest paper.... a bit silly. Let’s not put 13 and 14 year olds up to that level of pressure.
