is that to counter Damon Murphy lacing up to participate…. As the referee - jokes

I do feel uncomfortable a player can join after super rugby season can be parachuted into a QPR final.

I am not sure if it's been confirmed yet - but the Brothers brass seem to think it is happening and raised some eyebrows.

Common sense would say it shouldn't be happening. Also being in the Wallabies squad I am surprised they're releasing a prop. Have heard Nonngorr won't be released.

Absolute pisstake

feel sorry for the poor bloke that played all season that will miss out.

Imagine looking forward to the biggest game of your season (possibly senior career for some) and at training the coach taps you on the shoulder and says sorry mate we've got a bloke here that's never played for the club that's going to take your spot.

Disgraceful if that's the case.

I think the person at Bond who always gets looked over for the work that he has done, did and will continue to do - Grant Anderson! Take bow a bow!
Agreed. The current version of Bond is a mix of older, experienced players and young guns who are just keen to do the work and get the job done. Grant Anderson can definitely be credited with moulding and shaping that. Rico Gear also in shaping phenomenal Colts who have become superb premier team additions. Heeno has definitely had a solid hand in adding finesse and building - game upon game - a big game tenet where there is no let up on the competition. But a huge amount of credit must go to Tyler Campbell. He basically sat out two seasons through major injury, but still attended training, games and had huge input into shaping the team as well as individual players. Campbell can take solid credit for the development of individual players. When he takes the field, he leads by example so effectively that it is difficult to tell whether he is a forward or a back. He has had a tangible positive impact not only on the younger, newer players, but also the older, experienced guard. He has to be up there re: Alec Evans.

I do find the Ross mail uncharacteristic for Heenan.

He famously left Reds player Will Genia out of 1st grade for GPS and played club man Sully during the QPR finals circa 2008. I believe it was still Heeno coaching then, although may have been Matt Pini.

Genia subsequently left the club.

That is shouldn’t be a blemish/blight on Heenan but more a characteristic/trait of Will Genia.

I might have 2 of the last 3 in incorrect order - but last hit out for Genia was for GPS was during COVID.
