GT possible dark horse to finish 1 or 2 on the log. depend on jorden bells development. better game plan and set piece will help to. Bbc - can druhiem throw must have hooker that can throw. need a good fetcher to support backs. last year too slow. also 10/12 with game control. TSS or Nudgee will win 100% then others
Might mean the end of some experiments that went on in 2018 playing boys in positions they had never played in before with mixed success new coaches new ideas and GT could be looking at a shake up...expect the unexpected
forgot gibson he is fast and hard tackler
I agree GT could surprise a few people they have talent and with the right coaching and culture shift you never know...I do think Bell may struggle he only played 10 in 16a because QS was called up to firsts to play 15, PE is the incumbent 10 and is still at school there is no shortage of backs with talent at GT it's just who misses.
Like I said there will be a shake up

Piney,
Where do you think GT have the talent advantage over the other schools ?
Like , who do you seriously think could be considered "Top 2" in their position across the Competition ?

That's a good question honestly top 2? Probably no one I was more referring to within the GT system itself and the number of backs vs the number of positions available GT have boys that played Red u16 white u16 and Reds Academy, being in the team last year is no guarantee of being in there this year... I still think they may surprise with new coaches and new combinations... I guess we will see

Piney, I would have thought the starting backs pretty much pick themselves. I don't see too many mysteries.

Agreed, this would be my response Rodzilla. Note that Durheim can throw as well but don’t see Tierney missing out on a prop spot as I see him as a must have. Also I’m glad you bought Kalolo up Jets, fingers crossed but his absence may prove to be the missing piece?

I didn't think you had any mates at BBC Confucius ? When did this happen ?
Good to see All Over It's Kool Aid comes in Green and Black Jelly Bean , and , your mate's comes in Sour Grape.
Anyway ..who rowed out of Treasure , Dillman / Bishop , Big Ed , Boyle , Nasser , Emarley And Me , Jorgensen , Devon, Burns , Bell , Elekana , Little V , Big V , VDB and Siolo
All of them ? None of them ?
About the same ratio of BBC. The difference is GT boys had a crack.
And they were still celebrating TOGETHER UNITED at their rowing dinner.

Where has Kalolo gone to ??

Took off to NZ. The name of the school escapes me. Perhaps another BBC aligned poster can help me out?

Liberty , Equality , Fraternity , to the strains of Le Marseillaise eh Confucius ?
Maybe Dumas’s classic line All for One and One for All might be more fitting seeing as though , if you actually were truly Terrace aligned, Confucius, you would know that Terrace had one ( yes , one ) Rower in their 3 x Open Crews and Year 11 First VIII that will start or even play a meaningful role in the Rugby Squad
There are 10 x BBC Boys who rowed who are also in the Firsts Rugby Squad . And yes , 6 of these boys , banded together to form a boarders crew in the Open 2nd VIII to participate mainly for bonding and fitness rather than any higher aspiration related to Rowing
Either way, as always , your initial claims are inaccurate or just outright false.
Bottom line ? A collective swarm from GT is not outrunning any team - let alone BBC - as you stated
Lost in this salt laden agenda of yours ( and others ) is that half the GT Rugby Open Rugby Squad trialled for Met North as the only GPS School to do so , and presumably , the majority of these boys will have the State Championship overlay in their preseason . I would also assume that maybe half a dozen or more of the key members if the Squad will be going to Nationals immediately before R1 v TGS the following weekend
There is a challenge there for the new Coaching regime to ensure focus and priorities are where they need to be
I mean .....if GT can’t take care of business v TGS in R1 it’s a pretty slippery slope after that with BBC, NC and BSHS in the next 3 rounds before they face a team they project to be better than when they face ACGS away in Round 5
Poor buggers that played at Moree today.
I was driving into Moree the external temperature was 37 degrees. they played 3 x 20-minute thirds. TSS won 48 nil, TSS was by far the best side on the day. TGS had small patches of good play, the 1st 15 minutes of the game you couldn't split either side.
So this is my uneducated unbiased opinion as I have an affiliation with another school. Sorry, no names as i don't know them but I hope you can decipher. Again just my thoughts would be keen to hear other views
- The TSS centres in the 1st 20 minutes were devasting, and in the 1st 20 minutes, that is where TSS found both scoring opportunities. Both boys are impressive athletes.
- The TSS forward stand outs to me was the number 3 and number 4, both fantastic players.
- The 3 runs like a backrower and his terrific skills a bit like a young tongan thor.
- The 4 is just a great all round player with fantastic skills, plays like a tall loosie.
- TSS had a much better structure and shape throughout all thirds.
-TSS 5/8 in the last 20 minutes took control of the game late. For me, he was the best 10 they played.
- TGS 7 to me was a standout and nearly scored a great individual try from the kickoff. Amazing over the ball and he really wasn't such a big 7 however he is extremely mobile and very fast. Probably the best player they had.
- TGS 20? reserve front rower, big islander boy was standout in attack and defense, standout forward. Great player.
- TGS 9 1st and 3rd 20, was like a cattle dog, moving his forward pack around. Most of the early structure was his doing. Great pass and defence he even stopped the TSS 3 very well.
- TGS 15 is good ball runner has a very big boot and was kicking against the wind all day. Unsure why they never changed directions.
The game did deteriorate late and became very scrappy, but it was flaming hot and they all did very very well considering the conditions, poor buggers were absolutely wrecked and they all played with a lot of spirit and energy. Well done to both schools, they were all good young men. Good luck boys for the upcoming season.
