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.

Laughably IGS? They matched it with TSS the last few years and so I wouldn't write them off at this stage. I haven't heard or seen anything yet that BBC is a contender. Do they have a lot of players back from last season?

BBC v Terrace this weekend might shine some more light on where BBC sits considering Toowoomba gave Terrace a hiding last weekend.

What are we filming this week Doubletake?

Obviously not the BSHS and BGS games.

Are we going to be lucky enough to get the other 2 matches?

I'd imagine the feature game this weekend would be the Toowoomba derby - TGS vs Downlands, it was Doubletake's game of the round last year in the corresponding round. Apart from that, seeing as it is still a trial round I don't think we will get anything.

On a tipping front I'll take the very early bragging rights with a solid 3/4 to start the season.
This week looks like a piece of cake.

TSS vs ACGS: Off the win against NC at Ross, TSS return home and comfortably beat ACGS who struggled last week at Miskin (from the match reports I've heard - hopefully I haven't been led astray).

BBC vs GT: BBC to win by at least 20. BBC will simply be strong out wide in the dry.

NC vs BSHS: Agree with fairplay here, NC to win by quite a bit. Be interesting to see whether they roll out a full strength team here or against MCA who they are very interestingly also playing on Saturday in a trial match. In either case the 2nds would still win by a truckload.

IGS vs BGS: IGS looked good last week in awful conditions against BSHS, I'll take the boys in the red and white.

Be interesting to see Nudgee at full strength- noticed they had some big names sitting out last week with at least 2 regular starters from last years team in the grandstand (wing & lock) ... the butcher stripes might just be ok

Would hardly consider it a hiding. Terrace were playing many u16 and seconds players. Players like Nasser and Vaihu only got 20 minutes.

The word is the 20 minutes they were on was the 20 minutes they put the most points on them. No doubt TGS played a heap of u 16's and rested a bunch of 1st players as well, so fair's fair in my book, no excuses. Lets call it a soft hiding "Aussie Luke".

I cannot wait to see the TSS Churchie game this weekend, that for me will be the key to where everyone sits this season. For the season sake would create a cracking buzz if the Vikings got up.

All home teams to get up this weekend.

TSS - Should win this fairly easly.
BBC - Should win But as these are trials I dont know whta teams are being rolled out.
NC - Training run for NC
IGS - Depends which IGS turns up.

Does anyone know if TGS vs DC is on Doubletake with commentry? Feeling a huge TGS win after last years DLC team just got carried by Mac Grealy. Lets be real TGS could have put 50 on them if it wasn't for him. Don't see anything special in any of the dlc players this year. Could be wrong though

The only one currently listed is TSS versus ACGS (on YouTube).

The common theme in the streams so far is TSS!

They are showing TSS v Churchie? Great if they are and it might give indication of where the teams sit. You'd have to think TSS will win this game comfortably but an upset would be great to shake things up a bit.

BBC should make an easy meal out of Terrace.

Nudgee will put a decent score on State High.

IGS? I think they're the dark horse and will knock one of the big teams off this season.

TGS to beat Downlands.

I had a mate from the US text them and Doubletake confirmed to him they would be showing it. 7pm kick off at the Toowoomba Sports Ground so the two schools can control entry.
I hope they are streaming it because I've got 15-20 TGS Old Boys coming round to mine to watch it.

does anyone know why BGS and BSHS are still in the GPS????
Personally, I see nothing special in any particular player from either school. I hope they prove me wrong though with some good games this season. Thats if the season is still on due to Covid.

I'll say this for both BSHS and BGS - their Coaching / Program leadership is as good as TSS , ACGS, GT, and NC.

And certainly in BGS's case they have a definite capacity to produce Rugby smart players who know the game, and, whilst they won't give as much sugar pop player candy as some of the other schools - they will , at a minimum, produce a few players every year that will ultimately be very good Club players and maybe more depending on how things pan out in individual cases.

BGS's program should not be dissed. BSHS's either.

Very good Rugby people at both.

As a TGS Old Boy and living in Toowoomba it is great if Doubletake are broadcasting this game because the crowd is limited to Parents and Friends and a few boys from each school at the old "Athletic Oval". Not sure why it s a night time game under lights.

Personally, I believe Scots should be in the GPS as they have very talented young players that will run circles around current players in dominating schools such as Nudgee, BCC and TSS. Just my opinion, could be wrong though.
What is everyones thoughts?? Feel like these 'lower tier' schools dont get enough recognition

Will be interesting to see how footage of the "Nigger Brown" Stand is received by the current BLM public.
