Surely if the QRU are serious about making their competition more competitive they would push new recruits to some of the weaker sides rather than playing for Uni or the Bank. Hunt lives on the coast so surely he will link up with Bond. How about O'Connor playing for Wests or Norths, however...

Really interesting day of rugby at Boondall today, Results as follows: 13A 17-10 BSH - BSH were never going to lose however they were put under heaps of pressure by a team of much smaller size. 13B 25 -21 BSH - I only included this as there has been a number of 13B state high posters. BSH were a...

Why?

I think Norths are close to appointing theirs, I have no idea whether it is good or bad news, hopefully the former. From what I can gather Colts are forming a solid base of coaches which is vital for the club to survive than prosper moving forward.

Interesting first night for the NRC. The concept is great, all these players would have been twiddling their thumbs or playing in the ITM over the next months if not the implementation of the NRC. Crowd was quite good given the conditions and a Thursday night. The standard of play was a little...

Norths beat GPS in 2nd grade 15-3, they went through the season undefeated.

Game is at BBC.

Not 100% sure however I would suspect Nudgee 15a side will be at around 70% with their immersion program underway

Numbers for Norths juniors have hovered around 400 to 450 for the last few years however has a similar problem in retaining players moving to the larger clubs like the Seniors. Aspirational parents are forever moving their kids to the larger clubs like Brothers. The transition from Juniors to...

Any reports from the weekend games? Any standout performers?

I have no ieda whether Garath is up to scratch in terms of Qld u20 selection however there is one thing he deserves, especially being an U19 playing premier grade in an under performing team, is credit for turning up week after week and performing strongly against the best that Premier rugby has...

Quade is definitely not the problem with the Reds, he just does not get the go forward ball he used to or the top teams get. A 5/8 has only so many options with the ball he gets. We just don't seem to be able to get over the advantage line like the opposition and don't have the same urgency...

I watched a pretty competitive game between Norths and Souths on the weekend. Final score was about 4 tries to 2 to Souths (not 100% sure). Norths competed really well all day although you always suspected it was only a matter of time for Souths to blow the game apart however to Norths credit...

Souths 36 v Norths 26 (from Norths facebook page). Typical trial game, lots of mistakes, plenty of enthusiasm, missed tackles and tries. Gut feeling says Souths left lots of their prems team at home however overall not a bad hit out for both sides. Kudos for the new Norths committee and rugby...

From Norths facebook site re trial against Central Qld in Rocky Norths prems 38-0 win Colts 31-22 win 1sts 19-0 win This weekends trial against Souths will give a much better indication of how the Eagles may fair in 2014

Surely the player levy has nothing to do with a potential bailout of the Waratahs? How many Qlders would be happy seeing their money going directly to bail out those Roosters. My guess is zero.

Can you believe the timing of the ARU to impose this cost on each team, huge sign on days this weekend for all BJRU clubs. Clubs would have done budgets and set annual registration fees weeks ago with no knowledge of this extra cost. Herbert from GPS is reported as saying it will cost their...

2- Brisbane North (University, Brothers, GPS, Wests) Tigerland I hope that was a typo, how could you have Brisbane North without including players from Brisbane Norths. Ok things have been ordinary the last few years however they still have the leading try scorer for the last two years who is...

One other thing I forgot was Nick Cummins. To be honest I thoughts he was a one trick pony, however he is proving much more than that, his left to right step after receiving the ball from Moore was excellent and he seems to have some geniune speed. Hopefully more good things to come from him...

Just a few observations from the game: - camaraderie of the squad is excellent (have a look at the reserves swarm Cummins after he scored the first try). I am sure this is a Link trait; - Folau is a sensation, he is so far ahead of the 15's we have had lately, I am genuinely hoping that they...
