After dropping two matches midway through the season, The Southport School finished the year well but ultimately fell short of claiming another GPS premiership in 2023.

An "athletic and dynamic" group may play a slightly different style of rugby this season under second year coach Tai McIssac, according to TSS veteran MIKE WALLACE.

“We’ve just finished a three day camp at the back end of the holidays. Our boys had three weeks of holidays and because we have a high percentage of boarders, most of them went home for the three weeks.

“So we only really got to look at them in the last three days but they have come together really well and we were pretty happy overall with our final trials against Toowoomba and Brisbane Grammar.
