Wow - that hurts. Maybe it will teach them a bit of humility. Something I think the younger brigade at Wests need a shot of as they don’t have any appreciation of the times when the club was not so successful.

My apologies that is a pretty handy record.

What are their 2nd grade chances? Brothers have been quite dominant in that grade for a number of years - I think GPS went down to Easts in the GF a couple of years back. Brothers were minor premiers for about the 6th year in a row - might even be more. It is a grade that GPS seem to be...

I don’t know whether this would have been the return that Herbie & Spindle would have aspired to for the club. I think it is a c-minus result. Most concerning would be the colts where they have been very competitive of recent times.

Apparently the squad flying to Tonga leave on Tuesday does that mean that they can’t play this weekend?

Any intelligence on who might be missing from the first week of finals because they’re being taken to Tonga for an end of season trip!!!!!!

First weekend of finals Major & Minor in Prems & WPrems are both on Sunday at Sunnybank whilst 2nd grade and colts are both on Saturday at GPS.

Upset wins by Bond over GPS and Norths over Wests in reserve grade yesterday have put Wests in a difficult position - if Bond defeat Norths next weekend then Wests miss finals footy and Bond come into the 4 of Brothers, GPS, Easts & Bond. Winner of GPS v Easts will progress to major semi v Bros...

Premier grade ladder after round 17 Wests (12 wins) 65 Bros (12) 63 Easts (12) 61 Bond (8) 47 Souths (6) 40 So the top 4 is set noting that if Bond beat Norths next weekend they will finish with 9 wins - one short of the historic average of 10 wins required for finals qualification. If: Bros...

Easts finished in a similar position (7th/8th) last year and look how they have turned it around in one offseason, to still be in contention for a major semi with two rounds to play as the second Wests bye looms in round 18.

Over the years the GPS folk have pumped up the tyres of Anthony Herbert on this forum and after one poor year they have questioned the part that Herbie has to play in the 2025 footy outcomes. Maybe someone should look back to the board that pushed Mick Heenan out of the club 15-20 years ago...

K This is what I am talking about we are in the middle of a thread about a the viability of whether a referee who has arguably had poor performances in the last 2 GFs and now a poor performance of the biggest game this year -Welsby Cup final - should be refereeing the GF and you want to defend...

Even Jordan Way is better than that muppet. Why does a guy who hardly refs a QPR game all year get helicoptered in for the finals - let’s reward some of the good local referees who officiate week in week out through the season.

Can we not have Nic Berry for the finals?

I thought the whole discussion centres around whether Murphy is a decent referee - whilst the rest of the jury debate the issue - this juror is convinced that I don’t want to see him in charge of the grand final regardless of who is in it. I am convinced that he is not a great referee...
