I think it is made up as it goes. Seriously. A couple of years ago McReight and Wilson dropped into Colts 1 without playing a regular season game and Wood and Lucas dropped in having only played one regular season game. In same year there was pure speculation that Jordan Petaia may also drop...

Wow, SouthernX picked the Uni v Wests result. I thought he was dreaming. The result and the names mentioned above are competition changing. It makes 2 of the 4 games in the next and last round (Bro v Eas & Wes v Sou) sudden death and the Uni v Bon a finals ladder influencing game. If Souths...

And Michael Wood was another Finals addition to a very hot Brothers side that year.

Harry Wilson does not play tight. He is rather inept and ineffective at the breakdown and tends to avoid it. When he plays in the backrow the team needs the other two backrowers to play tight. It worked really well this year with McReight and Wright in the Reds. But I have seen Wilson and...

Agree with you on all of above. Don’t think I have seen that many yellow cards in a game since I can remember. Sudden death now for both Brothers and Souths to make finals. Souths need to win remaining three games with a bonus point in each and they will be in the knock out rounds. Will be...

I have been waiting a long time for this and even became superstitious not wanting to put the mocker on BBC by putting anything preemptive. But how AWESOME is that for BBC. Yes, a lifetime in the making but for me most impressively is way they picked up from the disappointment (for them) from...

The Reds coaching group did almost everything possible not to play Sean Farrell this year. I cannot see him given another contract. Then they seem to have decided Nasser is not going to cut it as a tight head prop and tried to turn him into a hooker to cover the “third” hooking spot in the...

I thought I would see Reno Gerrard’s name popping up on the Souths team sheet this year. Has he been injured during the break or gone to another club?

Watched the Wests v Brothers game live on the big screen at home with a friend. What a game. We were going nuts. The commentary team and quality of camera and production made this a great advertisement for a terrific product. Always felt it could either way the moment Brothers scored at end...

What the fuck is that all about. Have they given up on Nasser playing at prop and now trying to convert him into a hooker. Not many other places in world where you play your first game at hooker in a Representative / Provincial match.

Could someone please enlighten me. Why are some players in First Grade noted as “Name Witheld” in the Comp round Lineups on the Rugby Au fixtures site?

Absolutely do not want to take away from Souths win over Brothers the week before but the Brothers team did not respect Souths. And even though they dominated for most of the game, Brothers did not convert dominance into points especially rejecting umpteen penalty goal attempts in favour of...

I think Berry may have taught and coached Ralston only a couple of years ago.

So reading through the media release, it seems only about First Grade (Hospital Cup) playing this season. No plans for Women, lower grades or Colts (cannot see how all grades could be accommodated playing at Ballymore, even with three fields). Is this correct?

So you would think that new contract would be on same terms as current including the COVID pay reduction. If so, the reason given on Monday not to commence training with team would be a sham. Did the other two players get sucked into this by their agent because they were expendable? I also...

Seriously, the number of people in all walks of life who do not understand the financial landscape has changed so dramatically for at least the short to medium term astonishes me. Does their agent not understand that his players have not and will not be generating the content and revenues that...

Just the worst outcome!!!

Yes, it is that repeating loop, increasing the frequency of the News Ltd / Fox propaganda, that will topple the RA hierarchy to give News Ltd / Fox exactly what it wants. Tail wagging the dog. I just hope those in control do not succumb to this BS peddled in the media that has its own agenda.

That makes RUPA’s press release yesterday, saying that “if Execs are taking a 30% to 50% pay cut, then that will be good enough for the Players as well” look puerile. I do not think RUPA will come out today and say they will also support 75% of Players being stood down.
