Bros 48 GPS 45 Souths 41 if Souths beat Snbk and Bond they’d finish with at least 49 points and then Bros & GPS don’t do so well in rounds 17 & 18 Souths could jump into the top 4. Granted if Bros beat Wests then it makes it difficult for GPS but not impossible as they could get to 54/55 with...

I don’t think the minor premiers going onto win the premiership would be considered a boilover. IMHO - As minor premiers Bond should start any 2023 final as favourite.

Is it just the jersey(!!) but does anyone else think that the Bulldogs play a South African style of rugby? I think if yesterday is anything to go by we are shaping up for some great finals footy - don’t write off Brothers just yet.

Careful what you wish for sometimes it’s takes a couple of games to integrate your returning stars into the way your team plays!! But it will be great to see HW back in the Butcher stripes.

Let’s not judge Bond’s preparedness for the finals until they come to Brisbane in round 17 v GPS. They have traditionally performed better at home than in Brisbane. As “Bond” how many premier/first grade finals have they played? Changed to Bond about 2012? Last final was PF v Easts in 2020...

Yes I think you could give Brothers the reserve grade cup now. They are undefeated after 15 rounds.

Whilst on my high horse about Brothers - what does Brendan Gabbett think he will achieve with the continuation of his crusade to bag RA about the unavailability of wallaby & Aust A players. He was interviewed today before the GPS game on Stan. You’ve voiced your opinion on the issue on Stan...

Is this the same “Medic” from Brothers who never attends to an injured player but is in the middle of every Brothers huddle barking instructions - he needs to be brought into line - I think it is disrespectful to the competition that he continues to operate in this manner. He uses the medic bib...

The Aus A game is next Friday in Tonga and they fly out Sunday - so I think it reasonable that they are withheld from games the day prior to flying overseas. SX nice Intel on Van Nek - I think he is player 24/25 on the tour so isn’t in the game day 23.

No for one minute am I excusing RA/Wallabies Brains Trust but the Reds have been treating their clubs in a similar manner for years. If a player goes down at training the Reds would pull the 3rd/4th back up from clubland. If a player played 5 minutes of Super Rugby on a Friday night as a...

We shouldn’t be surprised it is often that fringe Wallabies (also junior Wallabies) are cocooned ahead of a RWC. You never get as many Super Rugby players back to clubland for end of season as you would expect - RA directives, IR/CBA layoff periods, players being told to have off season...

You won’t get all of them back. I’d be very surprised to see both Wilson and JOC (James O'Connor). I’d say Wilson more likely than JOC (James O'Connor). Wilson just has a greater club(Brothers) ethic. He’d be a very handy in.

I will have to agree to disagree - I would love to see what he could do with the Reds.

Kef may have bigger fish to fry in 2024. He has managed to pull together a pretty handy Tongan squad for RWC23. If they do well at the RWC he may well have coaching options at home and abroad.

Actually growing up playing club rugby at any other club but Brothers it’s is the first thing you learn.

It staggers me. Surely growing up as a Norths Eagle surely the first thing you learn is to hate the filth - yet so many drive down the road a few minutes and play at Crosby when they get older. Modern youth?? Surely dating back to Teachers-Norths days this wouldn’t have happened.

Alex Smit - Played colts at Wests before heading over to Easts - a very fine player. Probably more skilful than his brother.

Is it just me but does the Wests side for tomorrow look a little bit vulnerable?

I believe he is Meli Dreu’s (Easts #15) cousin.

Or is it the Wests Hamburgular?
