And neither did Wilson last year (until the finals),

Didn’t McReight or Wilson win Colt of Year in 2018 without playing in Colts until finals. I would have rated Ralston way ahead of Flook.

Dare I say after earlier posts this week, Isaac Henry.

Well the last seven or eight years have at least been “fun” knowing we were competitive against every team and had a chance and confident there was a depth of quality players coming through if it was not to be in that particular year.

Interesting to note that this age group was the first to come through the u15 Junior Gold programme. I remember that Fraser McReight played in the Grand Final at Lang Park v the winning Victorian team. Maybe an indication that pathways set up four and five years ago will bear fruit into the...

After an outstanding game last week, I think the Brothers team thought they could just turn up against Wests and take the points. Unfortunately, Wests were too enthusiastic and committed and spoiled almost everything that Brothers tried. The forwards had very little or no impact and in turn...

I saw this creeping in to the team during the Oceania series and started to look very ugly during the NZ match. It was a matter of time before this childish behaviour was penalised. It was reminding me of the Aust cricket team at their boorish worst. The reversal of the penalty and resulting...

I will just leave this here from my pre season review. Also, a magnificent effort by Brothers yesterday. Still a long way to go though. And I always say, anything can happen in finals.

Ralston back in Colts this week. And will be going head to head with Lea if he is fit. Some other great head to head clashes in this game with Dobbins v Fourie and Cross v Gerrard. Note - the game is at 1:10pm.

Out of the Qld players selected for Jnr Wallabies, Lucas was only one who got game time last weekend. I understand that the rest did not play one minute of club rugby. So the last time they played (except Van Nek who was not in Oceania tournament) was the game against NZ on 27 April. So it...

Possibly because Folau believes and posts that people like him will be going to hell because of the way they were born.

Also further to above, with some of the back row nominations looking very underwhelming I remembered some injured players have not taken to the field to this date in the season yet should be in the frame when fit. Tom Van Der Schyff (UQ - backrow) recovering from a foot injury and Cam Howard...

Following up on some of things above:- Kibble was playing NRC last year, URC is a step down. I see he is playing no. 6 tonight for Jnr Wallabies. However, I think he is struggling to find a position. Body size and playing style is more of a 7 and not a 6 or an 8. But he has Gicquel ahead of...

And Isaac Henry getting 10 from 10 to round it off

Yes, but just dropped from Junior Wallabies squad. Which beggars belief.

Schools added above plus Pat Tafa (NSW) - BSHS

About half were playing NRC - mostly off bench

I do wonder now if the URC (NRC u19’s) is just a waste of time and resources as it does not appear to be a “feeder” Into the Junior Wallabies. Now I can only speak from a Qld perspective as I have not followed other states too closely- of the 12 Queenslanders selected in the Junior Wallabies...

No, I saw McReight ran out for Brothers. I understand concerns about ensuring these guys got some game time was a factor in them playing club over next couple of weeks. (Especially in light of Mack Mason performance for NSW a couple of weeks ago).

And I am was just thinking after the game last Sunday that it was probably CFS’s longest injury free run since his Reds debut.
