Well said on all fronts - certainly not the kickers fault, coach was 100% aware of what he was doing and for the second time in 2 years not having a kicker in the side in a crucial game has cost them dearly. Both sides had a decent injury toll on the day I hope al players recoup well - BBC will struggle to recover from that to win next week, all that said well done to BBC players and a huge congratulations to TSS - deserved champions and well coached!!!!

My recollection was that Gordon who was playing flyhalf refused to take the kick for goal. The halfback almost knocked over referee to try and stop Gordon knowing that the kick for goal should be taken and pointing to the coaching staff who were pointing at the goalposts. But Gordon just refused. He kicked for the corner but team was so rattled by Gordon ignoring the coaches the line out was a cluster and Nudgee regained possession and held on for 30 secs to win the match.
To be as fair as I can, the kick was not quite a gimme as there strong winds that the penalty would have been kicked in to.

Personally, I'd blame the BBC coach for the loss yesterday. I would have gone
10. Claridge
11. Mason Gordon
12. Ripley
13. Howarth
and dropped Annan

No one to blame.
TSS were better on the day and took their chances.
Well done Southport, one hand on the cup.

Always hear everyone banging on about BBC’s depth but only would’ve been one sub come on (Ruru) until he was injured and came off. BBC’s Forward pack was tiring and no one was put on? Kelly? Hayes? Altman should’ve been put onto the field aswell in the late stages of the game.

Don’t know what game you were watching if you think TSS were the better team. BBC dominated for the first 50mins, 10,12,13 were unreal, and BBC forwards surprisingly held their own against the TSS pack.

Rugby is not a 50 minute game. Depth and endurance are key. A team that is mentally focused for the full 80 minutes will come away with the chocolates. A coach that puts a team on the field to attack the try line to convert and knows when to use its depth with subs will prevail. TSS come away with the chocolates because of coaching. This is where Nudgee will get up next week too.

ye Churchie won 8-7 with a 45 metre penalty kick to win the game in last play. absolute cracker of a game from both sides

Hmmm, Tierney was hooked for a reason, moving him to 2 wouldn’t have changed anything, Bryon and Lucas can kick also, u would have thought there would have been a kick off done at last training along with Claridge also?

I wouldn’t be giving up all hope at BBC. In two weeks time if BBC beats Nudgee (possible only with a kicker) and Ipswich beat TSS after their bye then it’s still possible for a tied premiership. Ipswich have been a bit off the last couple of games but I think they have one big game in them. Stranger things have happened but what was clear to me on Saturday was that BBC’s backs dominated TSS’s backs, as did their forwards (but not in the set piece). TSS have been very lucky with the refs calls in these tight matches and their backs have not looked good at all v the big sides.

After re-watching the game it was great to see Xavier Savage in the left end corner of the school end celebrating BBC’s first two tries. The chat of Gordon and Claridge and the BBC 10 debate with kicking responsibilities would have been interesting if Oryaan Kalolo remained at the school.

I would love to see Savage back in that BBC backline.
No tears for me this week as GT sorted themselves out at Northgate.
Also the best of the round was 3/4 as only 2 bold punters managed to back ACGS over IGS.
All Over It has a 2 point lead over a group of chasers, can they hold on over the final 3 weeks?

Some observations from the BBC loss,
Rugby is a team game and generally takes a good 23 players to win a game of such high intensity, you can not win Rugby Premierships based around half a dozen INDIVIDUALS, you must show faith in your entire squad (and or at least know all their names)and make the changes when required, no matter how tough the decision is, that is what makes good coaches in to great coaches, clearly on the weekend several changes had to be made and weren't, all as a result of a stubborn approach and inflexibility based around the 6 or 7 INDIVIDUALS. You treat your best players exactly the same as the the 23rd player in your squad.

Interesting weekend. I don't know why I bother trying to tip any games.
BBC Vs TSS game was much closer than I thought. TSS obviously came back in the 2nd half to snatch the win. I do feel for BBC but TSS have a knack of wining the tight ones.
What can I say Churchie defeated IGS. Churchie Forwards were very good and took the game away from IGS. IGS lost one of their props after 5 mins and then lost their other prop and starting 2 by half time. Churchie kept it tight and their defence in the forwards was relentless. Churchie 8 had the best game I have seem him play so far. The IGS 10, Walker is a great runner of the ball. Very balanced and can beat a man in a heartbeat. The IGS 9 - best I have seen this year so far. IGS will finish the year well provided they get their big forwards back. The lack of depth will be their problem.
GT Def BGS - Goes to show how hard this comp is. GT get beaten by Churchie and then thump BGS where Churchie could only draw.
TGS Def BSHS - the trip up the hill is a tough one I am hoping BSHS don’t regroup for the Churchie match next week.
Ohh The Churchie 2nds still undefeated along with NC. TGS only one loss. Could set up for a cracker of a match at Ross in round 9 if ACGS can defeat TGS in the penultimate round of GPS.
