After Boggabri edged Gunnedah 24-22 in the Boyde Campbell Cup at Kitchener Park on Saturday, Schmiedel told Group 4 that he had "no answers".

He said "when we play well, we are an exceptional side. But when we are poor, we are very poor.
"We're just not handling the pressure. But I haven't got any more answers.
"I've been a coach for 30 years, but will probably go down as Gunnedah's worst ever coach."
Schmiedel's latest lament comes a week after he declined to address his charges at half-time and at full-time in a 48-6 away loss to Kootingal-Moonbi last round.
That was preceded by him bemoaning the players inability to follow his instructions. "Might be no point in me travelling every week," he had said.
Earlier, he gave his players one of the biggest sprays ever delivered in Group 4, according to the journalist Geoff Newling, following Gunnedah's 26-20 away loss to North Tamworth.
Gunnedah forward Jacko Brookman secured the three points in the Group 4 best and fairest award.
