GPS Rugby Brief History
GPS Rugby is the successor in name to GPS Old Boys Rugby Club and to the Past Grammar School Football Club and it is the oldest
surviving Rugby Club in Queensland and also one of the oldest Rugby Clubs in Australia. The Club was officially formed in 1887 and
consisted of a combination of both past and present Brisbane Grammar School players although a number of them represented
Queensland as Past Grammar players in 1885 and 1886.
In 1889 the Past Grammar School Football Club was established as a separate identity distinct from the old side with its mix of past
and present players. The formation of the Club was formalised at a meeting held at the Treasury Hotel in Brisbane on the 5th March
1891 and Mr. R.H. Roe, the Headmaster of Brisbane Grammar School was elected as President. Sir Charles Lilley and Sir Samuel
Griffith, among others, were elected as Vice Presidents. It was decided that the Club colours would be red and white. Rugby was not
played in Queensland from 1916 until reintroduced in 1928 at which time, under a new name, the BGS Old Boys’ Rugby Union
Football Club again took its place in the Brisbane competition.
In 1930 the constitution of the Club was changed to allow past students from the other GPS schools to become members and
although the name was retained that year it was later changed to GPS Old Boys’ Rugby Club and it played under that name in green
and blue colours for the first time in the 1931 season. The constitution was again changed some years later and membership of the
club was unrestricted.
Fifty of the Club’s members have played for Australia and over 200 have played for Queensland. Seven have captained Australian
senior teams, two the Australian sevens team and one has represented and captained England and another Scotland.
Ashgrove GPS Junior Rugby Club was formed from the Ashgrove Emus Club in 1984 when it affiliated with GPS Old Boys after that
club moved from Finsbury Park to Ashgrove Sports Ground. It quickly grew to be the largest Junior Club in Brisbane winning the
QJRU President’s trophy for the most successful club on a number of occasions.
In 2014 GPS Old Boys Rugby Club amalgamated with Ashgrove GPS Junior Rugby Club to form GPS Rugby Club making it the
largest club in Australia with almost 1500 players.

GPS RUGBY CLUB INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2014
President’s Report
Dear Members, Players, Sponsors and Supporters,
The 2014 Season was the first for the GPS Rugby Club Inc. following the merger of the GPS Old Boys
Rugby Club and the Ashgrove GPS Rugby Club. We have become the largest Rugby Club in
Australia with over 1500 players proudly wearing the Gallopers colours each weekend. There are
many benefits with this merger, none the least is a direct pathway for an under 6 player through to our
premier grade team and beyond.
Our strong playing numbers and membership base continue to provide an irresistible attraction to our
sponsors. Our Club enjoys amazing support from our community through its generous sponsors. To
all the 2014 Sponsors I would like to extend a huge thank to you all on behalf of the Club. I encourage
others to become a Club sponsor in 2015 and support our Club.
GPS Rugby Club Inc. is first and foremost all about our players, and what we need to be doing to offer
the very best environment for them to develop and enjoy their rugby. In 2014 we had the benefit of two
very experienced coaching directors, Michael Cook (Senior Grades) and Michael Crank (Junior
Grades) to assist with our player and coaching development.
In 2015 we will be increasing our commitment to our junior coaches and players in this area.
We are all very proud of the capital improvements that have been made to our facilities over the past
12 months at Yoku Road. These being the new building which contains the new change rooms and
storage area, the new toilet amenities, the refurbished change rooms and the upgrading of our
canteen facilities which is to be completed by end November.
We thank Hon Campbell Newman, Premier, and Hon Teresa Gambaro MP, Federal Member for
Brisbane, for their support with the Grants they provided us to complete all these improvements.
A Club our size does not run itself, it requires many to achieve what is achieved each season. I would
like to thank our management team, Anthony Herbert (CEO), Matt Turner (General Manager) and
Martin Southwood (Operations Manager) for what they have achieved together over the past twelve
months.
I take this opportunity to thank Premier Grade Coach Shane Arnold for his commitment to our Club
over many years and congratulate him on the success he has achieved for our Club.
I would also like to introduce Todd Dammers our new Premier Grade Head Coach and his assistant
David Miles. I know Todd and David will bring great things to our senior playing group in 2015.
To all our volunteers, you are the ones that provide the workforce that gets everything done, week in,
week out, without your help our Club could not function. Our sincere thanks go to all of our marvelous
volunteers.
Finally a Club like ours needs sound management and good direction to ensure the members’ best
interests are always met. I would like to thank my fellow board members for their commitment in
achieving the above. They are a talented and experienced group who always put the Club and its
members’ interest above all.
I encourage you all to return in 2015 for what will be an even more exciting season for our Club and I
ask you to involve yourselves as much as you can in the many Club activities. After all, it is your Club.
Yours sincerely,
Peter McWhirter
President

Treasurer’s Report
From a financial point of view the first year of operation of the new operating entity, GPS Rugby club
Inc, has produced a profitable outcome with a profit from rugby operations in excess of $120,000.
On 14 March 2014 the former entities Ashgrove GPS Junior Rugby Club Inc. and GPS Old Boys
Rugby Union Club amalgamated to form the new entity and brought to account their trading results
from their respective pre-season trading from 01 January 2014 and 01 October 2013 respectively.
The club was also successful in securing a $250,000 Federal Government grant which has also been
taken to the profit and loss account. After depreciation and some historical stock write-offs the club
has reported a consolidated profit from all operations of $235,528 is by any measure an outstanding
result.
The following noteworthy achievements highlight the financial success of the 2014 playing season:




Income from Canteen & Merchandise
Income from Sponsorship
Income from Playing Fees & Membership
Income from Functions & Fundraising
$145,646
$306,321
$407,076
$174,751
The capital grant together with some generous sponsorships and accumulated reserves has been
deployed in a number of facility upgrades within the club. Most noticeable of these being:



Major refurbishment of the toilet facilities at the eastern end of the club building
Overhaul of the home team locker rooms with professional standard player capsules and
shower facilities
Relocation of the cold rooms and major refurbishment of the canteen (work in progress)
During the year the management committee has also introduced and improved financial monitoring
and reporting. In collaboration with the clubs executive improved systems of internal controls and
budget modelling have been introduced and a clear and robust budget has been adopted for the 2015
season. I would like to acknowledge the input and support of the entire management committee in
assisting with the implementation of these procedures which support the committee’s commitment to
transparency and sound corporate governance.
As outgoing Treasurer I would like to take this opportunity to commend and thank the executive team,
Anthony Herbert, Matthew Turner and Martin Southwood for their contribution to the season’s financial
success.
In particular, I would like to thank Peter McWhirter for his tireless support and leadership, without
which the solid financial result would not have been delivered.
Finally, may I wish the management committee, incoming Treasurer, executive, players, and members
every success for 2015 and beyond.

GPS RUGBY CLUB INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2014
Rugby Report
GPS Rugby Club has experienced a rapid and significant transformation during its most recent history.
The structural and personnel changes that have been implemented have been done so with a view
towards positioning the club as a financially prosperous entity that can continue its role as a
community hub for years to come. The commercial imperatives of running contemporary sporting
clubs are highlighted by the struggles that many of our neighbouring organisations endure to provide
core services to its members. GPS is indeed fortunate to have in place a governance structure
comprised of individuals who are not only Rugby savvy but also possess strong business acumen.
In my inaugural year as the Director of Coaching at GPS, it has been heartening to hear from the club
board that despite the need for the club to have a strategic commercial focus, the primary ‘business’ of
the club remains that of winning games of Rugby. Continuing the business theme, it has been also
conveyed to me on more than one occasion by the President of the Club, Mr. Peter McWhirter, that
the ‘club’s greatest asset is its players’. My experiences in 2014 have certainly validated this claim.
Culture is a term that has entered the current sporting lexicon, particularly at the elite level, as clubs
search to create an environment where certain beliefs, ideals and values are established and adhered
to. Organisational culture in a sporting context may mean different things to different people; however,
at the core of any culture are people. Little research is required to conclude that the character of the
people involved with your club is pivotal to its success. Irrespective of a person’s status or ability, if
they don’t possess traits that are aligned with those espoused and enacted by the club it becomes
impossible for them to make a positive contribution. I am more than happy to publically state my
admiration for the many individuals who comprise the GPS Rugby Club. Without exception, they are
people of the highest calibre. More specifically, I salute the players, many of whom are not only
wonderful Rugby players but young men who exude respect for the game, their club and peers. GPS
makes no apologies for prioritising character as a key determinant for those wishing to join the club; it
is a mantra that will serve us well.
The merit of the 2014 season may well be open to interpretation. With nine out of ten teams qualifying
for finals, one could argue that it has been spectacularly successful. Conversely, a sole premiership to
the Premier Reserve Grade side suggests that we promised plenty but failed to deliver. My contention
is that we look at 2014 as a pivotal year in our development. GPS’ playing depth is to be lauded and
would be the envy of many of our rivals. Having nine teams involved in the post season is a feat not to
be trivialised and significant credit must be paid to the players and coaching staff. I would hope that we
would never become blasé about such an achievement and the club should be commended for
providing equal opportunities for all players regardless of their playing ability. Ultimately though,
premierships are the barometer by which our football program will be measured. To achieve our goal
of becoming a club that consistently wins titles, there is still much to do. I have identified the following
as being key target areas in 2015:







Greater engagement between the Premier Grade Senior teams and the rest of the club
Establishment of a strategic program to enhance coach development
Further refinement of an all-club selection process
Cultivating an attitude amongst players that both elevation and demotion provide an opportunity
Greater investment in our medical arm with a more systematic approach to injury monitoring,
prevention and rehabilitation
Providing more opportunities for players to engage in individualised position-specific training
Seeking to maximise the club’s engagement with our strength and conditioning staff to provide
further benefits for our players
One of the key objectives of the GPS Rugby program is for the club to be perceived as one where all
players’ individual ambitions and goals are catered for, irrespective of ability or playing history. To that
end, players whose goal is to represent the club in Premier Grade need to feel as though they are
afforded the same degree of support as those striving to become a Wallaby. It is imperative that we
provide opportunities for the elite in addition to our regular club players. The current Rugby landscape
demands that for a club to be successful it needs to have clearly defined pathways in place for players
seeking to attain representative status. I am of the belief that we can develop all of our players to the
level they aspire to and still retain the unique character of the club which makes it so special. GPS is
imbued with among other things a spirit of tolerance, mateship, inclusiveness and family and these
traits must be cultivated and maintained.

GPS RUGBY CLUB INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2014
I would like to thank all our coaches, managers, strength and conditioning and administration staff and
the board for their tireless efforts during 2014. The Rugby season is an exacting one for all concerned
and the spirit of collegiality that pervades GPS Rugby club reflects positively on all involved. In my
role, I have witnessed firsthand the commitment and dedication of our coaching staff and it has been a
pleasure to work with such a devoted group who have embraced the notion of critically reflecting on
our behaviours and practices to seek improvement. I look forward to working with our coaching staff in
2015 with much anticipation. Special acknowledgement should be afforded to the coaching and
management team of the Premier Reserve Grade side who captured the clubs only premiership this
year. Nic Fogarty, John Slater, Sio Kite and Simon Knapp in conjunction with the playing group
produced a stellar season losing only the one fixture. We bid farewell to some of our coaching staff;
most notably Shane Arnold, Brett Picone, Shane Drahm, Nic Fogarty and Sio Kite. GPS recognises
and appreciates your efforts and we wish you well in your future endeavours.
In conclusion, I would like to thank everyone involved with GPS Rugby club for making me feel
welcome. It has been a pleasure to work with you and be part of a special organisation.
Michael Cook
Director of Coaching
Strength and Conditioning
From a Strength & Conditioning point of view the 2014 rugby season began planning for the Colts
Academy program.
Working with Head Academy Coach, Matt Turner, there was a strong emphasis on ensuring the
players felt welcome at GPS, had solid technique and were improving their physicality.
Judging the early results the Colts program enjoyed we feel the program was a success.
With the dual goals of 1) ensuring every member of a GPS team has access to appropriate S&C and
2) building a relationship with QUT we set about interviewing potential candidates from the QUT
Exercise Science Department.
th
nd
Through the program Casey Sear, Jake McManus, Nick Verry and Pat Campbell worked with 4 , 2 ,
st
1 Grades and Colts respectively.
In addition to the QUT students we also had Lee Dyson, Nicolai Morris and Harrison Westbrook train
rd
the 3 Grade, Premier Reserve and the Women’s team respectively.
Matt Winkley stepped up from his previous Colts position to become the Premier Grade S&C Coach.
We are proud that Matt Winkley gained further honours in being selected to work in the NRC with
Brisbane City; that 3 of our interns have applied to work with us next year, while the others have
moved onto paid work.
Working with the Director of Coaching, Michael Cook, we ensured every member had the opportunity
to train in the gym under supervision, improved their fitness over the season, had access to rehab and
return to play protocols, and ‘enjoyed’ at least one ice bath during the season.
The S&C staff also ran water, delivered messages and designed the pre-game warm ups.
Thanks to the General Manager, CEO and Director of Coaching for their continued support of the
program as we look to increase our program for 2015.

Colts Report
The Colts Academy established by the club after the 2013 season was designed to produce three
competitive Colts teams for season 2014. This aim was achieved with all teams competing in semi
finals for the first time for some years. Premier Colts were Minor Premiers and subsequently finished
in third place. Colts 1 finished third and Colts 2 fourth in their competitions.
The addition of several quality players to the program, via the Academy and positive recruitment,
allowed the coaching staff to expand the style of rugby being played which has in turn resulted in
some quality performances and strong victories from all teams.
Premier Colts led the way during the year being undefeated after thirteen rounds before “hitting the
wall” against the other strong teams (UQ, Brothers and Sunnybank) at season’s end. Long term
injuries and disruptions to the playing ranks accounted partially for the fade out but those players who
took the field gave their all and brought great credit to themselves and the club.
With at least nine of this year’s squad eligible for Colts rugby in 2015 the future looks bright indeed.
The Colts 1 and Colts 2 players, with a year’s experience under their belts, will be ready to take the
step up and continue the success across the board.
Colts 1, after a disrupted start, were in a dogfight for most of the season just to secure a place in the
finals and needed to win their final fixture (v.Sunnybank) to ensure that status. This was achieved as
was the defeat of the same team in the minor semi final. UQ, the eventual premiers and surprise
losers of the major semi final, proved too strong in the preliminary final for a young and inexperienced
GPS team.
Colts 2 were looking to build on the disaster that was 2013 and this was done in spades. This team
had a “cast of thousands” and managing the player roster was a feat in itself. This was done
admirably by the coaches and managers and success followed.
A number of players in this squad were capable of playing Colts 1 or Premier Colts but chose, for their
own reasons, not to pursue that path. This is an issue that will need to be addressed before next
season to prevent any rift in the Colts ranks.
During the season, upwards of eighty players were registered which, of itself, provided selection
headaches. The concept of a fourth team was considered but dismissed just as quickly. Injuries and
unavailability proved this to be a wise decision.
For the first time for many seasons, the club included players from schools that do not offer strong
rugby programs and who, although outside the two year window, were granted dispensation to play
Colts rugby. All acquitted themselves very well and will be candidates for Premier Colts next season.
Full marks to the QRU and their foresightedness in this regard.
Congratulations to the coaching and support staff from each team for the work you put in and the
success of each team. A solid base going forward.
Thank you to the Club Committee and especially to General Manager Matt Turner for the support
given to the Colts Program in 2014.

Juniors Report
With the close of another fantastic rugby season for the junior playing members we pause to review
the year that was.
This year was the start of a new era in GPS Rugby as the junior club and senior club amalgamated to
become one of the countries’ largest clubs if not the southern hemisphere. As a result the connection
between old and young has solidified and enabled junior coaches and alike to tap into the vast and
experienced player resources our senior players encompass. We see this as continuing stronger and
stronger over the coming years with more initiatives around assisting our junior coaches and
expanding the “clinics” for specialist positions held by our Premier and Reds players.
2014 was again a celebratory year for the Gallopers young and old and it is reassuring to see the
amount of depth GPS Rugby has in its stables. This year our junior playing numbers totalled 1190
spread over 86 teams. Another growth from the 2013 season playing numbers.
Of the teams eligible to compete for Premierships (U10-U17) we had the following:
Premiers
u10 Div 1 - 10 Blue
u10 Div 6 - 10 Green
u12 Div 3 - 12 Maroon
u13 Div 4 - 13 Red
u14 Div 4 - 14 White
u16 Div 2 - 16 Green
Runners Up
u10 Div 7 - 10 Silver
u11 Div 1 - 11 Blue
u11 Div 7 - 11 Green
u12 Div 5 - 12 Gold
U17 Div 2 - 17 Green
Even more impressive was, 11 of our U13-U17 teams playing in a finals series, GPS managed 11
teams qualifying. This is a huge reflection of the quality players, coaches, managers and support staff
that give up their time each week for the betterment of GPS Rugby. We must remember that all of
these people are parent volunteers. Without you we would not have the success that is shown above.
GPS have always figured highly in the Representative rugby pathways and 2014 was no exception.
The club had players involved at the U12 Development Pathway, the U13, 14 and 16 Brisbane Teams,
ARU Gold Squad level and selected to play with Representative City Teams that played against
Country Teams as the curtain raiser to the Reds v Waratahs game at Suncorp Stadium.
Congratulations to those selected for City Teams who are shown on page 7 of this report.
The club has been delighted this year to complete a couple of projects around the place and be able
to provide new ladies amenities finally. The new change room booths have been well received by
many junior players and one can see their mind ticking over as they sit under their favourite number.
On your return in 2015 you’ll also notice some changes in the canteen which should make life a bit
easier when each of us does our one stint on game day. These projects have been delivered solely
through a Federal Grant driven by your Rugby Club and hopefully more will follow.
We would encourage you to all get involved in some way around the club as without people stepping
forward to help out, the junior members would not function as well as it does. Those cones on a
Saturday morning don’t get into a perfectly straight line on their own. Even more so I would encourage
people to nominate for positions on the Committee to fill some upcoming vacancies.
A huge thank you to all those that have assisted this year and an even bigger thanks to each and
every player. Not only have you produced some fantastic rugby and results, but you have done it with
dignity and respect for others in true Gallopers spirit. We hope everyone has a Safe and Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year and look forward to seeing you all in 2015 for another bumper
Gallopers year.

Team Reports
Premier Grade
Coaches: Shane Arnold, Brett Picone, Shane Drahm, Alex Corley (M), Matt Winkley (S&C), Nicolai Morris (S&C),
Kym Midgley (Physio), Ian Ross (Physio)
The 2014 Premier grade season started with much anticipation after 2013 showed promise for the Gallopers. After
losing the 2013 grand final, the playing group came together positively after the complete grand final playing group
from the year before had returned. The club also welcomed many new faces, increasing competition for positions and
allowing strength and conditioning coach Matt Winkley to welcome them with a long, high intensity pre season.
After 3 trial matches in the late summer heat, round one came early this year on the 22 March against Bond
University. The team started with a win against the Coast, followed with a BYE and then a loss to Souths the
following week. This game was later recognized as the loss that would come back to haunt the team after leading 20
– 7 at half time, the Magpies showed their class and came back in the second half to win 30 – 28. The following week
GPS bounced back with a hard fought win against Wests at Yoku Rd. The team welcomed the return of QLD Reds
half back Nick Frisby who showed his class, by scoring an individual try to confirm the win late in the game. The
score ended at 40 – 34 which was a pleasing result as the next week was another BYE for the Easter long weekend.
Post Easter, the season continued with a convincing 50 point win against North’s and then a replay of the 2013 grand
final against the Easts Tigers. Sam Johnson showed why his partnership with Samu Kerevi in the centers was a force
to be reckoned with after taking control of this game and scoring 14 out of 26 points with 2 great conversions from the
sideline. The following week against University was the biggest shake up of the 2014 season, losing 50 – 10 which
allowed the team to re-group and focus on the upcoming games. The next 3 games ended with victories before
another BYE weekend.
After the bye, GPS got one back against the Magpies at Yoku Rd winning 31 – 26. Samu Kerevi again showed his
class with multiple runs allowing the team to get on the front foot and eventually Samu converting his hard work with
2 tries. Another 50 point win against Wests followed as Tom Christie stood out with a 20 point haul out of 52 which
built confidence in the team as they followed with a 38 point victory the following week against North’s. Again it was
Tom Christie who had his kicking boots on with a personal tally of 10 points. After two convincing wins, the following
three weeks rocked The Gallopers season with losses to Easts, University and Brothers. Captain Jono Ellis pulled the
group together after these defeats and made it clear the season was not over and as a team they are better than this.
The last game of the season was at Yoku Rd against Sunnybank, which also doubled as the clubs charity day. In
front of a massive crowd for the final home game of the year, GPS showed they’re a genuine title contender with a
convincing 39 – 24 victory. James Tuttle stood out in this game with a personal haul of 14 points with some longrange penalty goals. The crowd especially enjoyed this as they got behind the team and showed they would be right
behind them entering the finals series.
The finals had arrived and a positive vibe around the club was pushing the team to achieve their very best. The first
week of finals was played against the old rival Brothers with a 21 – 13 victory. James Tuttle was a stand out in this
win as he controlled the team perfectly and tallied 11 points of his own through pin point penalty and conversion
kicking. The following week was a preliminary final against Sunnybank and after a dominant first half lead; a classy
Sunnybank side came home strongly and defeated GPS.
After 16 round games, 11 wins, 5 losses, 2 byes and 2 finals matches, the 2014 season had come to a close.
Through the season’s highs and lows, 42 players took the field for premier grade with 13 players making their debut.
A very special thank you must go to Shane Arnold and coaching staff. Shane after three strong years with premier
grade has decided to move on. He has developed the current playing group into a successful, close group, which will
hopefully last for many years to come. Many thanks to the committee and club sponsors for their continued support
as the clubs success would not be possible without you. The biggest thank you must go to Queensland Rugby’s
biggest support group. The playing group knows that playing in front of a packed Yoku Rd is very special, especially
when the crowd is on your side.

Premier Reserve Grade
Coaches: Nick Fogarty, John Slater, Sio Kite, S Knapp (M), Michelle Bennie (M) Nicolai Morris (S&C)
With the thoughts of the 2013 Grand Final defeat to Souths still fresh in many players
minds, season 2014 got off to a very rocky start with three losses to Brothers, Uni and
Sunnybank in the trials. It was the first time for many years that Reggies had lost
three in a row and going into the first round against Bond Uni the side was already in
an injury crisis. The backline which ran on did not have one player from preseason
and the coaching staff had begun to feel the pressure. To the credit of the boys
stepping up from Brisbane First Grade, Reggies had a solid win with newbies Tom
Christie and KJ playing exceptionally well.
The second week bye was well received and over the following weeks there was a
steady return of players who had been out with injury. Good wins against South, Wests, Norths and Easts saw
Reggies well positioned coming into the final three games of the round in very good shape. The emergence of Dylan
Sikimeti, Kieran Johnson and Tom Christie was very pleasing while old stagers Liam Ferguson, Cam King and Damian
Stower were once again showing the younger brigade how it was meant to be done. The final three games saw
excellent victories over UQ, Sunnybank and Brothers and an undefeated first round had the side upbeat and looking
forward to the next round.
The second round mirrored the first with yet again strong wins over Bond, Souths, Wests and Norths. Isaac Helu, Craig
Hunt and Mark Donaldson had been playing the house down and Cam King was in career best form. The only issue
with the Reggies outfit was keeping them all in the side. The round 15 encounter against Easts was highly anticipated
as the round 6 clash at home had proved to be the toughest of all games played to date. The inclusion of Matt Hirst,
Pat Selwood, Dan Gorman and return to form of Damian Stower proved to be too much for the Tigers with the boys
running out eventual winners 24-5. Josh Pszczonka and Dave Howard were both strong upfront and Craig Hunt was
starting to show some real class at the back.
The win over Uni at home was a gutsy performance and showed just how good the Reggies defence was. Stower,
Murphy, Christie and Fuller all had strong games but it was Liam McWhirter who was the general on the day. The
players really responded well to his direction and leadership and as a result the boys got the win. With only two games
remaining of the regular season, whispers starter to become louder about an undefeated home and away year. In a
player meeting at the start of the year Dave Howard spoke about the possibility of this feat and with Brothers and
Sunnybank only standing in the side’s way this could be a real possibility.
The Brothers clash at Crosby was a tough and brutal affair with both Gav Murphy and Mitch Fuller being knock out and
taken from the field and while the boys had played exceptionally well in the second half to chase down and get the lead
with only seconds remaining they went down on full time 23-25. While everyone was disappointed with the loss it was a
good wakeup call going into the finals. The last game of the season proper was against Sunnybank at home and the
boys kept their unbeaten home run intact. On a side note, Reggies have lost only two games in the past five seasons at
home and have a winning rate of 85% in the past seven years in the home and away competition which is credit to all
who have played over this time.
In the first final Uni got off to a fast start kicking some early penalties to lead 6-0. The experience of some of our senior
players saw the forwards start to get on top and lay the platform for the backs to take charge. As we have said all year
forwards win the game and the backs decide by how much. Once again Gav Murphy and Kieran Johnson were
outstanding while Liam McWhirter and Craig Hunt showed class and composure. The Grand Final was a typical final
battle with both sides scoring two converted tries. The difference was two penalties to Tom Christie and the usual
strong effort from the senior players backed up by sterling performances from the young guns. A third Premiership in
four years was a reward which we all hoped for and were happy to achieve.
I’d like to acknowledge the efforts of our coaching staff Sio Kite and John Slater for their outstanding work and
contribution this season. The respect you have from the boys and myself is without question and the success we have
shared in this season is a direct result of what you bring each training and game day. To Simon and Michele your
efforts are greatly appreciated and have not gone unnoticed by those who are a part of this team. Thank you for all you
do behind the scenes to ensure the boys are prepared for success.

Brisbane First Grade
Coaches: Stu Hendricks, Kim Jones, Allan Berriman(M) Nick Verry (S&C)
After a slow start to the 2014 season losing to both Logan and Souths, the GPS
st
1 grade found their footing and, capably lead by captain Brad Houlihan and vice
captain Nick Dangerfield, commenced a magnificent nine game winning streak
beating the likes of Uni and Sunnybank early in the piece with all players
standing up. Players like Matt Baker, Richie Allen and Jake Becroft also ensured
direction in the forwards.
Under the capable guidance of Stu Hendricks and Kim Jones, along with a bit of
help from a supply of red frogs, the team was able to reverse the results of the
Logan and Souths games early in the season and cementing a place in the final
four.
Whilst it is always frustrating in the grade teams not being able to field the same team week to week due to the
needs of the higher grades, all players who came into the side were able to hold their heads high each week.
This however was offset by seeing a number of our guys getting good playing time at the higher level and when
they returned they were able to bring with them a knowledge base of ideas and concepts.
Despite a couple of end of season losses the team finished in third spot and were destined to take on Souths in
the knockout minor semi final at Ballymore. It was to say the least an interesting game with a total of 4 yellow
cards and a score line that fluctuated during the game. With about 8 minutes to play we received a penalty in
kicking range which would have put us out to a 6 point lead. The kick was missed and in the subsequent play,
including an extra 6 odd minutes, Souths were able to maintain possession and subsequently score near the
posts with the conversion giving them a win. The guys put in a massive effort on the day and were extremely
unlucky.
This team will be back bigger and better in 2015 and hopefully go that couple of steps extra.
The MVP award for this year went to Nick Dangerfield and the best forward to Matt Baker. To all players who
stood up for us during the year a big thank from the coaching staff. We look forward to seeing you all next year.

GPS RUGBY CLUB INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2014
Brisbane Second Grade
Coaches: James Thomson, Tim Sheppard, Ryan Webster(M) Jake McManus (S&C)
2014 was a year of great learning, growth, and fulfillment. It also was an
amazing rollercoaster to be a part of, featuring some crushing defeats, but
culminating in a plan coming to fruition and the a team that went all the way
back to a Grand Final.
After a Premiership in 2013, with a new coaching and management team and
nd
high turnover of players from the year before 2 grade 2014 was always going
to take some time to gel and become what we knew they could be.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the three men who were an integral
part of the management team, Tim Sheppard (Backs), Ryan Webster (Manager), and Jake McManus (Strength
and Conditioning). ‘Shep’ was on a steep learning curve this year, his first as a coach, and to his credit he did an
amazing job every week 1) getting a backline on the field, and 2) having them play to the high standard they did.
‘Webbo’ was the engine of this team, and I must on behalf of Tim and I thank him for his efforts, no man at this
club does more behind the scenes than ‘Webbo’ to say he made our jobs easier was an understatement. Jake
was new to the club this year, but once finding his feet became a valued member of GPS and I hope is given
more scope in the coming years to develop himself and the players.
In 2014 we used over 70+ players (32 of which got B&F points), and most Thursday we would name players only
to wait until an hour before kickoff to find out if they would turn up. Whilst this created some stress, it also allowed
us to develop a mentality that there would be no excuses. It also meant we spent a lot of time working on the
fundamentals of the game, tackling, passing and rucking, all skills taken for granted but rarely worked on now
days. By consistently applying themselves in these drills week after week the level of improvement in individual
skills from the players was evident and even in some of those loses gave us great hope that once it clicked this
was a team to be watched.
For the most part of the season we were on the outside looking in on the top 4, only making a brief appearance
early in the second round. With two regular season rounds to go we found ourselves needing to win both games
and secure a bonus point whilst also needing a game to go our way. What happened filled the management team
with extreme confidence as the team clicked and started playing the consistent football we knew they were
th
capable of outclassing Brothers and Sunnybank to take out 4 spot by a margin of 3 points from Souths.
Fast forward a week to Ballymore and 5 minutes before half time down 17-7 to Logan in the preliminary knock out
final, and we again saw a team that exuded character. In the next 35 minutes we score 20 unanswered points and
for the first time I can remember, a Logan team getting out muscled at their own game.
We now stood one game from a Grand Final against a team we had yet to beat. Our game plan worked perfectly
and although University took an early lead it was only a matter of time before we flexed our muscle and
proceeded to take the game away from them. In the end prevailing 21-11 and securing our place in the Grand
Final.
Unfortunately this is where the fairy tale ended; coming up against a Norths team containing over 700 premier
grade caps, our team played the game of their lives. At half time 5-3 down and with a monsoon pouring over
Ballymore, our boys just came up short. One cannot describe how intensely proud we are as their management
team of their efforts that night. The bounce of a ball here, a missed tackle there and it may have been different.
I would also like to acknowledge two stalwarts and one young legend of the club who hung their boots up for good
nd
at the end of this game. The 2014 2 Grade Grand Final was the final game Angus ‘Gus’ Porteous, David ‘The
Scrum Doctor’ Jordan, and Tom ‘Smokey’ Frisby.
nd
To all the players involved this year with the 2 grade team, I would like to thank you all for the dedication to your
trade, and for the immense enjoyment that you bought us each and every week.

rd
The 2014 season showed great promise for the GPS 3 Grade side. We
started the season with a large group of players in the preseason and trials
rd
which provided us with depth as more and more 3 Grade players found
themselves selected in higher grades.
Up to the half way mark of the season following a successful trail period, we
were quite confident that we could successfully defend the 2013
premiership. At this point in the season we had only dropped one game
which was to University where they got over us with a 90 meter intercept try
after we had all of the momentum and hot on attack.
rd
The second half of the season saw the entire 3 grade competition increase significantly in skill and intensity.
The games were a lot closer which was shown in our come from behind win against Logan at home in the dying
seconds and then two disappointing losses against Souths and University.
rd
At the end of the regular season we finished on 13 wins and three losses which had us in 3 place overall. A lack
nd
nd
of bonus points throughout the season hurt us from securing 2 spot and with that the 2 chance option in the
finals series.
In the first week of the final series we came up against a much bigger Logan side however we remained confident
in continuing deep into the finals, however in the end that was not to occur. We were extremely competitive in
this match with a half time score of 7 to 5 against us. However in the second half we took a couple of poor
options that really hurt us and gave Logan the motivation to take the win.
All in all the season was one of a lot of highs and some really painful lows especially in the semi-final. During the
rd
season we had a total of 63 players pull on the 3 grade jumper which shows significant depth in the club. The
friendships, professionalism and commitment with this group of player were something that I really enjoyed to be
rd
a part of all season. So with that in mind I would like to thank all the players that supported 3 grade both on and
off the field thought out 2014.
To Andrew Poulton, Chris Spurling, Sam Tewson, Matt Richards, Elliott O’Shea and Conor Reynolds for leading
this group and providing continual support to the coaching staff. I would also like to acknowledge that Chris
rd
Spurling and Matt Richards were named as the joint 2014 Best and Fairest for 3 Grade.
I would like to provide a special thank you to Rory Maguire (Coach), Ryan Webster (Manager) and Jeff Frisby
(Manager) for the support that you provided to the team and me during the season. I also, thank Anthony
Herbert, Matt Turner, Michael Cook, James Thomson and Tim Sheppard for all of the support that they provided
rd
to the club and to 3 Grade throughout 2014.
Thanks again and I hope to see you all running around in 2015.

Qld Premier Colts
Coaches: Brendan Kiernan, Kelevi Tuicolo, Lewis Torkington, Terry Donovan (M), Chris Eaves (M), Grant
Jenkins (Strength & Conditioning), Pat Campbell (S&C)
The season commenced with three trial matches after several weeks of pre-season training and Academy
sessions. Many players were given the opportunity to stake a place in the team but, come round 1, the
composition of the Premier Colts XV was settled. There were some players returning from last season, some
who had been a part of the Academy and others who were new to the club.
The first fixture was against new club Bond University at the Bond campus and a hard fought win was notable for
two tries each to both Doug Rayment and Dom Sester who became stalwarts of the side throughout the season.
The team went on a run of thirteen consecutive victories, included in which were some memorable scoring sprees
against Norths, Wests and Easts as well as one point nail-biters against both Souths (first round) and Bond
University (second round).
With three fixtures to play, Premier Colts were undefeated and assured of the minor premiership. From that point
on (subsequently five matches), they were unable to win again and finished the season in third place. Given the
hopes which the team and staff (and the club as a whole) held for success, it was a disappointing end to what had
been an outstanding season.
The loss of powerful lock Josh Tregenza at the end of the first round for the remainder of the season due to a
serious leg injury, coupled with flyhalf James Tuttle’s promotion to Premier Grade knocked the stuffing out of the
players some of whom seemed to lose confidence. Earlier in the season, prop Dylan Sikimeti had been
permanently seconded to Premier Reserves.
Combative hooker/flanker Jayden Rodwell was also lost to injury for the season early in the second round and,
while games against the lesser teams were won easily enough, the big three of University, Brothers and
Sunnybank each proved a bridge too far.
Several flyhalf options were tried but none worked effectively enough to overcome the teams who had natural
number 10s who could direct play with their kicking games.
None of the losses was by a significant score and, with some luck, the results could have been turned around in
every game. The club is very proud of the efforts of each and every one of the 2014 Premier Colts players.
The award winners for the season were as follows :
Best and Fairest: Dom Sester; Best Back: Cameron Knox.
Congratulations to these young men on their achievements. Also to James Tuttle and Campbell Magnay who
were selected in the Qld Country squad to play in the NRC.
Congratulations also to Campbell, Dom Sester, Cameron Knox, Jason Tomane and Nick Richards on their
selection in the North Brisbane Colts team for the Under 19 match against South Brisbane.
A massive vote of thanks to the coaching team of Brendan Kiernan, Kelevi Tuicolo and Lew Torkington for their
work with the squad this year. These men are outstanding coaches who have made a positive and meaningful
contribution to ongoing player development and welfare.
Another vital component of the coaching team is game analyst Chris Eaves who is a most valuable resource for
the club with his data on both GPS and opposition. His under-standing and knowledge of players are
unsurpassed. This is of great benefit to the coaches in reviewing performances and preparing game plans.
The core players of the 2014 squad were very professional in their approach to training and game preparation.
They are an impressive group of young men who bonded well and sought success. Many have a bright rugby
future beyond the Colts Program.

Brisbane Colts One
Coaches: Nigel Hogan, Matt Turner, Dave Sheehan, Nathan Freney (M) Mick Clutterbuck(M), Pat Campbell
(S&C)
As in 2013, Colts 1 had a successful year culminating in our appearance in
the Preliminary Final against University at Ballymore.
For many players, the season actually commenced late in 2013 with the
running of the Colts Academy. The early start to the season focusing on
fitness, skills and technical development certainly paid dividends with all
three colts’ teams featuring in the finals. Colts 1 saw a significant number of
players return for the start of official club training in January.
In all a total of 47 players turned out for Colts 1 in 2014. The approach of
Colts 1 training with and having the same calls, patterns, and plays as
Premier Colts was a clear advantaged as the season progressed. It allowed for seamless transition up and down
between the two teams with no time wasted on learning new calls etc. As injuries began to occur through the
middle and later parts of the season players required for Premier Colts could easily fit in when called upon.
A very good pre-season saw Colts 1 win all of its trial games against University, Brothers and Sunnybank. There
was a lot of competition for spots during the early rounds of the competition. Colts 1 finished the regular season in
th
4 place on 44 points which secured our spot in the finals. To make the finals the side won four out of their last
five games including very big wins over Wests and Easts. The side played very attractive rugby with sound
structures and the ability to throw the ball around when opportunities arose.
The season itself saw a number of close and at times heartbreaking losses including to the two teams that
finished above us on the table, University and Bond. We accumulated 12 bonus points for the season including 5
for losses less than seven points with most of these losses being in the final few minutes. The side showed great
character to bounce back from these and make the finals. They beat Sunnybank in the knock out semi-final in a
tough defence orientated game.
Colts 1 were able to field close to their strongest side in the Preliminary final against University and for the first 20
minutes were all over them. However a very strong University side with many Premier Colts regulars in it
eventually ran away with game. The coaches were very proud of the way all players did not stop trying in the
game. Given the amount of injuries suffered to Colts players including a number of season ending injuries, all
players should feel very proud of what they achieved this year. For those Colts 1 players moving on good luck
with your future rugby careers.
For those players returning in 2015 you are well placed to build on what you achieved in 2014. Thankyou to the
Rugby Committee for their support this year and also a special thanks to Michael Cook for assisting in a coaching
role when required. Also thanks to the Premier Colts coaches Brendan, Kelevi and Torko and to the Colts 2
coaches Alex and MOB. As one of only 3 clubs to feature in all Colts finals in 2014 demonstrates what a strong
Colts program is now in place at GPS. This holds well for an even better 2015.

Brisbane Colts Two
Coaches: Michael O’Brien, Alex Grace, John Lambourne (M), Pat Campbell (S&C)
The Colts 2 season 2014 began in a fashion which many clubs would envy.
We had a total of 54 players on the books for one team, all willing and eager
to play. A daunting prospect for the coaching and managing staff, the
numbers would drop off slightly over the course of the season yet it still
made playing time a valuable commodity on game day. Training for the first
few weeks were a steep learning curve for both coaches and players. After
some teething issues as a result of the numbers, the team started to build a
real sense of unity and respect for one another. To the boys credit they all
took in it their stride and played their allocated minutes with passion and
intensity and by season’s end everyone loved the playing environment and
wanted to be involved.
The boys knew that with so many numbers it was important to take every opportunity they could in order to win
games and after a less than successful 2013 there was a real challenge to make 2014 something great. Results
early on were fairly mixed and it soon became apparent there were only four teams in the hunt for the
premiership, this made goal setting a bit easier as we could identify key games and build up to them accordingly.
A real highlight of the season was the last game of Round 1 against The Bank, at Sunnybank. At the time, the top
4 ladder was very tight and a win would see us jump Sunnybank into second spot. The boys put on their best
performance of the season against a very spirited Sunnybank outfit and held our own try line for what seemed like
an eternity to secure a great away win. The win really showcased what the boys were capable of and gave them
confidence they could go all the way this year.
As what happens with most Colts teams we were heavily affected during the late stages of Round 2 to various Uni
related events, holidays and festivals. As a result we lost a bit of momentum coming into the finals, managing
some nail biting wins in what should have been easy games and also suffering a few heavy losses.
Not to be discouraged though the boys all fronted for week one of the finals ready to play. We were matched up
against Sunnybank, who the previous week had inflicted a fairly heavy loss to our depleted team down at Yoku
Rd. The finals were a different game though and the boys put on a great performance, leading at half-time only to
have the game just slip away at the end. It was a disappointing end to the season, but still a great result for the
boys to make the finals - a massive improvement.
I should also mention that for the finals we were only able to field 23 players, therefore the hardest decisions of
the year had to be made leading up in which 15 players were left out. A massive thank you to all the blokes that
not only played that day but also those who trained and played all year and had to miss out, you still came to
support the guys and that’s what a team is all about.

Golden Gallopers
The GPS Golden Gallopers are a group of older gentlemen (loosely described) in excess of 35 years,
who still believe we have the right to be considered for selection in the Wallabies as we were each the
subject of conspiracies to deny us wearing the Gold jersey when in the prime of our rugby careers.
The GGs kicked off our season in February, with a group heading down to Redlands to participate in
the Waitangi Day celebrations. As always, a great day was had by all, considering it was hot as
Hades.
We then moved into our ‘season’ proper (we only play every two weeks or so) with our sister club at
Albany Creek hosting a game against Redcliffe. In March we travelled to Toowoomba for the
Highfields carnival. At the end of the day we were surprised to find that not only was a good time had
by all, but they actually awarded trophies with the GGs walking away with the Team of the Carnival
and Gibbo the player of the tournament. No one can be sure how many tries he scored on the day,
but I am sure he will be able to give you the exact number and a description of each one. But that
said all of us who have scored a try or two this year will expound our abilities and each one will have
been scored over a distance of at least 50 metres running away from the opposition.
April saw the running of our Great Western Rumble with a good number of teams turning up for an
afternoon of exhilarating high standard of football with the day being finished with a GGs verses
Barbarians game. This is a yearly event for the GGs and it usually finishes with a bit of a thirst
attached.
The season continued with a number of trips away to various venues around the south east corner.
We deem anything which involves more that about 30 minutes driving from Yoku Rd as worthy of a
bus trip. These are wonderful team building exercises and many thanks must go to our regular driver
John (Otto) Mann.
Our season is set to continue into the year with teams going to a 10’s comp on the Gold Coast in
October which will culminate in a visit to the Gold Coast 7’s on the Sunday.
The GGs are always on the hunt for more players so if you believe you were robbed of playing for the
Wallabies, are over 35 and play in the spirit of rugby, then you are for us (actually, if you are warm and
vertical, you’re in!)
A special thanks to the GPS club and particularly Donna Meredith in the Canteen and General
Manager Matt Turner
Finally, special mention to our sponsors. Thanks to Stewart Bensley from Hotel LA for providing our
jerseys and allowing us to sell tickets in a meat tray on Reds game days. Also thanks to Billy from
Billy’s Meats at Ashgrove for doing us fantastic deals on our game day BBQ and meat trays to sell
throughout the year. Special thanks to our newest sponsor Bank of Queensland The Gap
