Kibble eligible. But has some serious rehab to be done over next 6 months if reports are correct about him having shoulder surgery recently. I would also add in Cooper Whiteside to the potential list.

Hardly any based on last year. Only Van Nek and Lucas (who was a late inclusion) were selected from the two Qld URC teams who were both Grand Finalists. Then out of regular Colts players (more than 3 games) only Joe Cotton was the other inclusion.

Agreed. But just checking if Tom Kibble is injured. Thought he would have got some game time by now. Should they put him in URC like they did with Lucas last year after he was not getting much NRC time. Certainly didn’t hurt Lucas and contributed to the City team winning the inaugural URC.

Spoke to soon. Kiss of death

I reckon this is a 10 point wind at Ross Oval this afternoon. BBC just have to hold this lead to half time. Fantastic defensive effort so far in this half to keep NC away from try line.

It appears Conrad Skelton has left Brothers for Wests. Is this permanent or just for the Sevens tournament?

Is Emosi Tuqiri eligible for Junior Wallabies next year after playing for Fiji u20’s this year?

There was a player who only started in around half a dozen Colts 1 games last year (because of injuries to the normal starters) and balance in Colts 2 who was then selected in 2018 URC and subsequently into Junior Wallabies squad until final cut going into Oceania Champs

Roach’s timing of coming of age may not be the best when the Reds have Wright and McReight going for the 7 jersey. The size of all three of these players does make it difficult for them to slot into other spots in the back row. And there is also Kibble. Brumbies or Rebels could use Roach’s...

Nah, Bond are the real winners after underperforming this season.

Yes, Wilson needs a very good no.7 with him to offset his lack of skills at the breakdown and inability to keep his feet. If Wihongi does not play close to the ball and the Force attack the breakdown it could starve Country of a lot of phase ball.

Thanks Reg. Are these teams being trimmed before Champs? From memory they could only take 25 players last year.

Yes he played back half of season for Wests Colts and selected for URC in 2018. He then played for Fiji in the u20’s this year at Gold Coast and Argentina but don’t think he played in Brisbane comp at any time this year. Nice first play in the video with the ball moving through the hands from...

Wow, no Gicquel. Is he injured?

My recollection was that Gordon who was playing flyhalf refused to take the kick for goal. The halfback almost knocked over referee to try and stop Gordon knowing that the kick for goal should be taken and pointing to the coaching staff who were pointing at the goalposts. But Gordon just...

I have not only seen penalties but yellow cards when deliberate. Shaking my head. Even if not deliberate, surely it is a scrum to BBC even if time over.

To be fair they were not the easiest kicks that were missed. Does not seem right when you score more tries but behind on scoreboard. But that is rugby.

Just over half way into first half and BBC is just taking it to TSS in defense and in the scrums. TSS shell shocked at the moment.

Yes, congratulations to Souths for winning first and second div Colts. A feat that is not easy. I have watched a replay of the incident you refer to above. When I saw the tackle live yesterday I cringed at the ferocity and possible legality. However, the replay shows the tackler coming in...

Well looks like this theory may have backfired. Congratulations to Uni. Great season from Brothers both Hospital Cup level and whole of club.
