Eloquently delivered - Post Drahm BBC were a major disappointment last year and despite a few new recruits I understand this is a year cohort that has struggled in their ride through their schooling - Nudgee to average 30+ n BBC to finish 3-5.
I hope BBC are strong but I highly doubt it,there 16 As last year where woeful
They did look good against IGS, but then IGS had most of their starting team on the bench
Absolutely agree with your assessment of GT. I couldn’t understand the early hype around them on this forum. They’re by far the smallest forward pack in the comp and have a backline that is ordinary in defence and haven’t made any meters in attack since the Vaihu brothers played. NC on the other hand - engrave the trophy now and may as well mark it for next year as well, they’re untouchable. The real competition this year will be which team will finish second and who will win the spoon.
There were some big lads from Terrace watching from sideline rather than playing. Was told most should be back in next few weeks so will see improvement. Needs to be substantial improvement. Nudgee 1st and 2nds played v Terrace were uncontested scrums. 2nds last week also uncontested v State high 1st. Gee it changes the game in a negative way when no contested scrums.
100%, Terrace looked rattled by Nudgee and were never fully in the game. The forward pack were soft, the 10 looked lost and the backline had trouble in defence all game. Once again some big names and returning players were rested or injured including Angus Munn, Toby Weston, Xavier Grandbower, Jovid Aveau, Will Balke, one of the backline scholarship boys (unsure of name still), Nick Lawrence, PJ Sua. Worrying signs with their growing injury count leading into the season!
Correct.
