Was a grind of a game, big E J had a game to remember

Souths have generally always been very strong in the grades whilst struggling more so at prem level. I’m just glad those years ago they went to 1-15 numbered jerseys for each grade Anyone know if they still have Trev Leota running around in the lower grades?

What non Super Rugby players are available for Wallaby selection? I think the Giteau law should go and try keep the players here playing Super Rugby if you want to play for the Wallabies

Reading through some of the recent stuff, I personally think this year, looking at purely Super Rugby performances of teams and picking a squad with “x” amount of players from such and such team due to Super Rugby performance isn’t the way to go. Ideally its the start of a RWC cycle, you do want to be...

I do agree those sides would get bopped by the QPR boys, but its better for the game to get that exposure for the regional players who maybe can’t afford moving to brisbane to link up with a QPR side to get a crack at one of those sides. I think Aus rugby definately needs something extra, which...

I played colts at GPS, was a young fella that didnt train regulary due to work and was happy playing in the Colts 3 culture back then of playing early, bringing out the esky and sinking tins watching the colts boys, reggies and prems, first year of Colts there was 2 teams in the 3’s comp, 2nd...

Thats generally a good reason to go back. Different topic, do people think its viable long term having a 5th Grade comp? And do any know if those playing 5ths pay the same in fees as the rest of the grades to have a bye every 2nd week…

I think it got to there as many think with a hand on the ball like that, that the ball should be out. But yes your one is a 50/50 dependant on whose view as a referee you get, is there any Reds players “contesting” a ruck on their feet cause imo that's another one for me, if everyone has...

The number is more or less a reflection of the players you see throughout the year and how many disapear or get injured when the going gets tough, or pulled up the grades to cover injuries up there, generally once a player went up you never saw them again I saw earlier in the thread you looked...

Thats fair, i just have a gripe with players holding a hand on it at the ruck, it’s clearly available to play so you should be playing it, that or in those instances there should be “x” time to play it or ref calls balls out

In speeding the game up this should be the law imo

Considering the guys they have playing in 3’s this year, apart from the handful from previous years theres a fair few who were regulars in 2’s you’d assume they would be doing alot better but somethings not gelling there. Goes against some of what I previously said, but I’ll say that I found as...

I played as a scrumhalf in my younger days, look more like a front rower now. Back then you use to have to clear scrums etc under so much pressure cause once a hand was on that ball the opp 9 was trying to pressure your pass, I use to love that battle.

In regards to the lack of NRC, obviously QLD and QRU do the challenger series which rewards the top Premier Grade players with a little series vs contracted Reds players. I actually wrote to QRU last year while liking the whole series idea suggesting they could improve on it further with that...

Personally I hated the bright red jerseys. I’m a traditionalist and the maroon/navy jerseys is the way to go, mainly because thats what I grew up with as a kid sitting in the tin stand at the end of Ballymore.

This is a tough one that depends on interpretation, some would say thats still in a ruck, others might argue cause bodies are on the ground etc and Smith is doing god knows what that the ruck is over balls out. I think the ball should be considered “out” the instant once a hand touches the ball...

I had stepped in to help manage the ressies that night at Norths when Matt Lodge played as the normal manager was unavailable. Had walked past him going gees he looked familiar then saw his name scribbled on the paper team list. Fox Sports turning up and all that attention scared him off, he was...
