Nudgee were all over TSS in every aspect of the game until the last 8 minutes, when they were up 21 - 7 but then seemed to fall asleep, probably because they knew it was a trial and didn't want any injuries after proving themselves in the rain. TSS are big and strong, but could only manage tries from silly mistakes from Nudgee in the closing stages of the match. Having said that, both these teams will go undefeated once the real season starts.
I didn't see BBC and Churchie but it sounded very close and I would have thought BBC would have been more dominant than a scrape over Churchie if they are genuine contenders.
Toowoomba and Ipswich seem like they will be the dark horses and I think one of them or both will do Churchie and BBC.

I watched the TSS-Nudgee game and TSS were simply being patient and waiting for Nudgee to run out of steam. TSS will once again be very hard to beat. My son is in Yr 10 there and from all reports, they didn't play their best game, even though they got away with the win.

Yeah yeah ( Advanced Hair joke )
With such rainy conditions and Rob toia Nudgee outside centre making the transition into first 15 it is understood he was hesitant to go full 100% in his first big game, give him time and you will see one of the best line running centres going around. As seen with Jo Jo the first year is always a transition and from grade 11 to 12 Jo jo really put weight on for his frame, expect Rob to be much the same, remember he is in year 10 and 15 turning 16.
Byron Smith at fullback is a good ball runner and knows when to pass look for him to be used more when the conditions are more favourable. Perhaps one of the better players on Saturday was Nudgee 11 he didnt get much ball due to the wet slipper conditions but when he did Sione was very destructive often breaking 2+ tackles. Look for Lastus to hit him with the cut out ball during the season, or the grubber or chip through.

We will get a better idea of overall strengths when TSS play ACGS at home this week.
TSS tight 5 went better than I had expected.
What I have seen from last 2 years -and again what I hear happened on Saturday is that ACGS is a well drilled,minimal mistakes,play field position team.With pick & drive as biggest weapon.
It will take more than that to win a premiership.
I will be there R6 v BBC for old boys day at shark tank.
Howath v Jo Jo & battle of the two 7s will be very much anticipate-and with two props back BBC may have scrum advantage.

Yes and Fullback for Southport is Jye Gray who is 16 so will be a tough task for him taking Howarth on if he makes a break

Without Banjo, Lastus is the only 18 year old blue chipper in that backline - and you then have to rely on a couple of Grade 10’s as next best in the top end talent pool.
Nothing special or top end in the forward pack compared to say TSS’s Michael VDS who is head and shoulders the best lock , maybe even the most promising lock to come along in the last few years (say since BBC’s Trevor Hosea and including Churchie’s Fred Fewtrell , TGS’s Will Chaffey and even his older brother, Tom )
I think BBC will clown Nudgee. Brutally. Churchie not so much but will take the win against them nonetheless
And @ AussieLuke , the only way TGS or IGS take down BBC or Churchie is in their dreams and even then they would need to wake up and apologise.

Tipping for next weekend can be found here:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1B8f-4dqDzR4anCiT9OlvxEmQzwNBHqYVUHKrJBItgf0/edit
Last weekends results:
RedsRugbyFan101 3/4
Blanco 2/4
Seagull 2/4
Melomvp 1/4
Matt 3/4
Taipan 3/4
MW 1/4 (only person to tip TSS though)
This weekends games (which I believe are 2 x 40 min halves):
TSS vs ACGS: Churchie got beat heavily last year, but the 16a match was a close affair. I expect to Churchie to go hard at it and look for a win considering they have a bye next week (official start of the comp). I don't think they will get it, but they might make a tight game out of it
BBC vs GT: Jeez I wish I knew more about each team. Could be close?
NC vs BSHS: Boy, this could be a massacre. 110 to 21 point differential last year between the respective 1sts XV's and 16a's for both schools. And that was at State High. Good luck BSHS.
IGS vs BGS: I'd put my house on an IGS win, but hard to tell by what score. BGS haven't turned their program around yet, and IGS were banging on the door last year.

No crowd at school game? I believe that BBC will finally win it.
Most of their baggage last year were parent and some of them would have been very heavy to carry on to the field.

It's important to note that Nudgee were up 3 tries to one into the last third but also they got across the line another 3 times but spilled the ball in the rainy, muddy conditions. Their backline hardly saw the ball as it was reduced to an up the jumper and up and under game. TSS forwards were big and strong, but they were dominated by a smarter Nudgee side for most of the game. TSS didn't score any tries off the set piece but rather scored with against the run of play tries (apart from the first try at the beginning of the game), whereas Nudgee's tries were very structured and on occasion off the set piece.
Having said that, compared to the last three seasons, there were not any stars who really stood out for me in the Nudgee team. No star flyhalf, like Pasitoa, no wings like Trezman Banjo nor Jangala Bennett, nor any leaders organising the team like Harry Vella. My initial observation is that it is a solid team but not a star studded team.
I don't know how strong BBC as I didn't see their trial game, but they didn't post a big score v Churchie and so I think I need to see a little more to be able to pass judgement.

Yet you already have passed judgment on them by calling TGS or even more laughably IGS to take them down. I'd hardly say that TSS were dominated upfront either. Obviously the deck gave everyone an even chance - even Nudgee who had to carry a passenger or two in their pack.
