Anyone know how teams pre seasons have gone? heard nudgee have around 150 boys again, similar to last year but havent caught word about any other schools.
Are there any star flyhalves likely to be playing in this year's premiership? I'm sure Nudgee will miss Pasatoa enormously this year after having him in the team the last 3 years, as will TSS, BBC and IGS miss their stars from last season. I'm just wondering whether Nudgee should have blooded someone in this position during the easier matches last season.
Nudgee squad started around 100, down to about 35.
Mason Gordon is back for BBC is he not?
Would have got more time last year except for injury?
could be wrong but I think this was the makeup last year

They play soccer in a different term to rugby and I think it is at least as popular as rugby in the GPS schools now. The First XV games keep getting bigger and better in terms of crowd size and general interest and standard, but there is definitely a large gap between the participation in one half of the GPS compared to the other half.
what the hell is everybody playing then? I am perplexed. Surely without Soccer there would be more footy teams, right?
Yes that is the good thing, I the attendances up north are very good. Better than most schools down here.
Who does Nudgee play if they have so much more teams than everyone else? Like when they play Ipswich where do the 3rds downward go?
Basketball is the same time as Rugby and it has growing numbers playing. Opens teams went down to 4ths last year and most schools fielded 3 or 4 teams in each age group.
gee, thats horrendous. For rugby schools like that to only be fielding that many teams.
Even Sydney Grammar and High can field around 3-4 teams, and they're considered really weak. They play in the 3rds comp.
The lowest the in the 1st XV comp is Newington and they have around 6.
Every other school has atleast 8, Joeys go down to the 12ths.
This is really worrying. Does soccer have more playing numbers? Are there more in lower year groups? maybe sport isnt compulsory in later years?

Sport is not compulsory in any year at BGS.
soccer is the largest participation sport with close to 70% of the BGS school population playing..unfortunately lower level BGS
teams have trouble finding games as some schools limit their soccer teams to 3 or, at most, 5 per year group.
Rugby is not the be all and end all at BGS who also do not engage in the rugby scholarship arms race that some other schools do.
