QLD GPS Rugby 2019

[BBC Supporter 123]

Any views on the BBC set piece v TSS? This is the area I think BBC might find the most challenging.

TSS have a very strong set piece, however, with Ripley and Howarth at the centres, it will be very hard for JoJo to get anywhere. Claridge is also a very underrated defender

 

[Oracle83]

My bet is the Boys from BBC will take out TSS by 1, Mason Gordon conversion for the win!

Strangely enough he’s not in the team again.

Tipping sheet for this week is HERE

If Terrace don't win this week I'll be crying myself to sleep on Saturday night.

Terrace have averaged 28 points a game so far for their winless season, on the flip side Grammar rate at 7 points per game for their efforts - being kept to zip twice. Get the Kleenex ready Jets, I reckon the red and black will find a way to lose this one as well. TSS Defence will stifle the BBC backs, BSHS will struggle at altitude and ultimately get run down by TGS and Ippy will put a ton on the well partied Churchie ( it was only one win boys).

 

[Aussie Luke]

Absolutely zero chance Terrace will lose to Grammar. They are a very good side, almost beat Nudgee on Ross (an 80 minute game might have got them home as they were on the charge toward the end of the game), and have been strong against most sides so far.

Agree with you on all games. You might be right about Southport’s defense but the difference is more in the attack with Southport scoring an extra 3 tries a game. Southport’s wings and fullback have scored 14 tries to BBC’s 4 and the Centres are 9 tries to 4 in Southport’s favour

 

[Blue & white]

Good luck to BBC tomorrow-they have been building up to this for about 5 years now.
Really should have a premiership in 2017 when they lost to NC /TSS but scored more tries in both matches.
Its good for GPS rugby to have a new underdog challenger in town-but can they (and others) do it year after year like NC/TSS?

 

[The Nomad]

Nice to see the full story kicked off by Fairplay and told by Reg , reported in today's CM by The King.

Putting the call out for a Nudgee "sandboy" for BBC this weekend.

100 % correct

 

[Garry Owens]

100 % correct

I actually thought you guys were the better team in R1 but your scrum got demolished - principally by George Blake and I reckon that , and poor line out execution were key. You guys were great on the ball though (Mitch Lowrie especially) that gave you a chance.

 

[Garry Owens]

So Bluey - you answering the Sandboy call put out there by Nomad ?

RE TSS set piece , saw a few of the TSS boys at Ballymore on Sunday.

Big Zane was in a moon boot....high ankle sprain apparently.

I reckon he’s okay - my head thinks TSS by 17 but my heart goes for BBC by 3 but not having Gordon in for his kicking is a worry.

Ah jeez, not again….

TSS look a very good side, no real weaknesses.....hopefully it doesn't come down to goal kicking as BBC kickers looked very poor against IGS, and Mason Gordon left out of the team. Hope it is not a repeat of 2017 when BBC should have had a premiership after outscoring TSS and NC 8 tries to 5 but still lost both games.

TSS were the better side in that match IMO.But the Nudgee match ??3 tries to 1 & lose-then 2 penalties inside 22mtr in last 10 mins and not taken.
Painful memories.

And that is how you end up going 65 years (and counting) in between premierships!

Thanks King. Was good to reminise

 

[TheKing]

BBC supporters first met Kaleb Ngamanu as an excitable youngster bouncing up and down the sidelines of Miskin Street cheering on his two elder brothers, both modern day heroes of the BBC rugby program.

Now the exciting young centre prospect is back, only this time wearing the wrong colours.

Great article - can anyone confirm game time? Courier mail says 2:15pm and rugby explorer says 3:15pm?
