The opening weekend of the 2023 GPS season didn’t disappoint, with Toowoomba Grammar living up to the preseason hype and TSS, BBC and Churchie all recording impressive wins.

Here are the five players that caught our eye in the opening round:

George Griffiths - Toowoomba Grammar

The big Toowoomba lock was a cut above the rest in his side’s opening round win against Terrace. Griffiths showed his strength to score two pick and go tries, then showed off his athleticism to scoop up a loose ball, beat two defenders and race away to score what ended up being an important try in the context of the match.
