Toowoomba Grammar finished fourth in 2022, but lost four matches to four sides surrounding them on the ladder by seven points or less. 

A third of that side return in 2023, bolstering a Scott Gale coached side that many believe can take a big step forward this season. 

Overview with Scott Gale: 

“We’ve had a really good preseason and I think we’re a lot more prepared at this point then we were last year,” Gale told Rugby News. 

“The boys have worked really hard through a good, solid preseason and we’re really excited to get stuck in from round one. 

“We’ve had a really promising trial period and we’ve played some strong teams and had some good results, but we’ve also learnt a whole lot about ourselves and about the opposition.
