These players won Colts premierships too - add them to the four from four category alongside Parker. Admittedly neither Buchanan or Chochrane are prolific tryscorers though.

I've been pushing for U20 Colts since they reverted to U19 (from U20) in 2000. It seems to be a better transition for schoolboy players to step up to U20 rules while they are still playing against (theoretically) smaller and less experienced players. I can't say I'm a fan of front rowers first...

My point wasn't that any of those guys would win it, rather that they would have possibly been given points that otherwise could've gone to Buchanan. Mitchell missed all games until around May, and McDuling & Browning were away with the Reds for much of the season. I'm with you in that I have...

He's missed a few games this year for the club through Reds A, benching for the Reds and injury (I think), and while he's been really solid (and invaluable to Uni), I think perhaps the referee votes in the games he played in would've been shared by McDuling, Browning, Cornelson, Arvier and...

I'm going to restate my theory that the winner will be the standout player in a team from outside the four because that is what the voting system lends itself to. The medal is voted on by referees on a 3-2-1 basis - the problem in teams such as Sunnybank is that the votes get 'diluted' by the...

No idea at all, sorry - I was filling water bottles & concentrating elsewhere and didn't hear it. Even if I had, it probably wouldn't have registered- I only knew 5 or 6 of the players and any nicknames would've gone straight over my head.

I think that Sunnybank will be very tough to beat, Filth. They certainly comprehensively outplayed Uni when they met at Oldmac this year. But I'm not sure history supports Bank being Uni's bogey team. Aside from the big loss dished out in 2011's major prelim and the loss this year, I can't...

Filth I thought Brothers were quite a bit more aggressive at the breakdown than Uni, and as a Uni supporter I hope to see that addressed in time for this weekend's game against Sunnybank. Having said that, the turnover ball that Browning, Mitchell and Cornelson were able to get at various times...

Securing the Doughty Shield is the number 1 priority for Uni every single year. IIRC the goal of winning the Doughty Shield goes back to when Premier grade were bottom of the ladder (or thereabouts) and the only finalists, or finals contenders, in the club were colts - and we're talking less...

He did more than take it in good stride, he got the original pic printed and cut out the newspaper article and put them both on his fridge. Spoke to him the day after that game and he was absolutely chuffed that they went to that level of effort.

Maybe Pat Richards would be interested in applying...

Also Harris and Toua

Filth you'll obviously want to win the one game of the year that truly matters: Uni Old Boys v Brothers Old Boys (to be played as a 20min curtain raiser before the game at Uni in July). While I think a game of such magnitude clearly deserves its own thread, there are probably some crusty...

It wasn't... @Heather's post has the most comprehensive reasoning. The rugby club had no (or very limited at best) input - there is a huge overhaul of all UQ Sport facilities going on. This would be geared towards increasing UQ's profile, revenue and position among the world's top...

I suspect Premier Soccer (football, whatever) has been the driving force - I've seen the influence and political savvy of Football Quuensland at play at other venues to get funding for upgrades. I'm sure the official reason, however, is to increase the revenue generating potential that would...

I KNEW sitting near Matheson was a bad idea!

Uni were being beaten soundly and the post-try celebrations were enthusiastic. I narrowly avoided a ball thrown in celebration hitting me in the face. Nothing sinister - just exuberant - but when your team is on the end of a losing scoreline I must admit I thought he was a bit of a jerk.

Well knock me over with a feather! :) Where would you place Sam Greene on the mouthy players list, Filth? I recall his shenanigans when Wests beat Uni at home last year and thought he'd fit right in at Crosby....

"no one was having a go at him" Amazing what you hear when you sit on the sideline opposite the grandstands MT. Like you I don't like the sledging by Reds players either - not a huge fan of it by anyone, really - but to say that no one was having a go at him is just not true. As for being an...

Yes, but in many cases the pressure to play on regardless comes from not wanting to lose their starting spot or their place on the team; if they stay on the field, the coach doesn't have a reason to pick the other guy. That isn't pressure exerted by the coach, but it's pressure felt by the...
