    Qld Premier Rugby 2013

    I was at Souths for a 5th or 6th grade game (not sure which) on Saturday night after their Old Boys Day thierry dusautoir and I heard them doing the "Take Me Home Chipsy Wood" version of the club song - it sounded like they'd sung it many many times before. And I agree with you about the ugly...

    cyclopath there are so many layers to that game that I find it really hard to explain to the players Juan Cote and MrTimms recruit.

    Where the fuck did they get the idea we were a reputable news source?

    Agree with all the pro-Souths sentiments on these forums. Lovely place. bonus points for the chicken salt availability. Also I don't think I've ever haven't been to Souths ever when there wasn't at least one Kefu present. I think the family has had a pretty big hand in developing and shaping...

    QLD Colts 2013

    Red Heavy From the bits that I've seen, Scotty also isn't getting the quality of ball he was enjoying in colts last year. Given the Prem Colts forwards have been getting some decent game time in Premier Grade, some of the apparent drop in form may be attributed to that? When Will Thompson left...

    I didn't see the team list for Sunnybank PlayedinHeaven but there were no regular Reds playing for Uni. Kev Davis played and although he's in the Reds squad, he remains uncapped. EDIT: sorry- misread your post. I'll get back to you.

    Qld Premier Rugby 2013

    Is there a tendency from the judiciary to count red cards early in the game as time served? I think Freney from Brothers received time served for his red card in the semifinal last year. And I'm obviously not across all games, but I think Wade only received a week or two for an ugly spear tackle...

    Concussions and Protecting Our Players

    I think that what you wrote is valid because it is exactly what we hear in mainstream press and on boards like this every time something happens. And like you, I raise my eyebrows at someone playing 6 days after that sort of knock. But there's a lot more to the story that doesn't get much press.

    Concussions and Protecting Our Players

    Probably one other thing to mention: One of the greatest benefiits of eliminating the compulsory time out after concussion was that players are now much more likely to tell medical staff that they have a head injury. If players think they will be automatically or customarily eliminated for the...

    Concussions and Protecting Our Players

    A sign is an objective finding seen my an examiner - for example us watching him falling over on tv, a doctor checking his short-term memory recall. A symptom is subjective and perceived by the player: how bad is the headache etc. The doctor travels with the team, and is available at all...

    Concussions and Protecting Our Players

    I think that publishing that without finding out the return-to-play protocol Kane Douglas went through would be sensationalist, inflammatory and downright reckless from a legal standpoint for the site. First of all, the testing procedure you've outlined as a potential problem in Kane Douglas'...

    Qld Premier Rugby 2013

    Agree 100% thierry dusautoir but I think 7s is his game more so (no pun intended) than 15s. I think he struggled a little in grades because of his size, and I think his small size is a large part of his agility. Hopefully the developing 7s circuit continues to grow because he is something...

    Qld Premier Rugby 2013

    He went GPS and played pre-season plus two games, and now he's MIA. (He went to GPS because Elia Tuqiri had him involved with the Newstar Sevens team, I believe). The thinking is that because GPS had a bunch of wingers when he went over so when the pressures of his study (he's studying social...

    Qld Premier Rugby 2013

    thierry dusautoir Lachlan Creighton was in the Reds extended squad this year (the unpaid guys) but he's had to scale back because he's just bought a gym - somewhere on the northside I believe. I think that's even hindering his training with Brothers sometimes. I'd say if he's going to do the...

    Qld Premier Rugby 2013

    Mitch Wade moved from Uni to Wests in the off-season, then between the final trial and the first round, moved to GPS. I would imagine the disruption to the Wests coaching staff at the same point may have had a hand in the decision, but I'm not sure how much. I don't have enough of the facts...

    Qld Premier Rugby 2013

    hammertimethere I agree with your summary. But the youthful forward pack was not a choice, but a necessity. Especially against Brothers- an extremely strong & experienced pack. Also agree about Fidow- he resembles a cannonball sometimes & it's almost impossible to get lower body height than he...

    Wow - seems GPS are involved in a heap of Heritage Rounds - the Uni vs GPS match at Uni is the heritage round that week. Actually, I've also noticed how many Cups GPS play for against various other clubs (could be just my imagination though)... I'm not sure if the clubs were able to select...

    Uni beat Norths 60-24 in a tryfest at St Lucia. And wowsers is the Norths winger fast! There's a one-man bonus point there.

    Those Campo tweets use punctuation and the words are in an order that gives them a meanining that can be understood by casual observers. Campo has a ghostwriter!
