Brisbane Grammar coach Phil Mooney said he's hopeful a squad mixed with youth and experience will have what it takes to challenge the big guns of GPS Rugby this season.

Grammar travel to Southport to face TSS on Saturday and will look to build on some promising form through the trials.

Overview with Phil Mooney:

“We’re reasonably happy with where we’re at ahead of round one this weekend, we play Southport at Southport and that’s a great way to start the year,” Mooney told Rugby News.

“We had our rugby camp last week and that was really positive. From a wider program perspective, it was great to see the young under 11 boys get their first taste of things. Our first XV also had a really productive few days.
