I'll email you what I have this evening Reg so you can see where it ended up in the 2014 incarnation- I don't have it in front of me right now. Essentially my understanding - I might be slightly off-base but I don't think too far - is that clubs get their Premier funding, that they used to get...

On to an actually interesting topic, how are the clubs looking under the aggregate model of Premier grade funding? Likely to qualify for the full amount from the QRU? From the suppliers list my initial thought was that Brothers could be particularly hard hit under this model. Any others? Any...

There's actually a full club Old Boys day planned on (I think the Brothers game, but I'll check & get back to you). Walking sticks - and wheelchairs if your shoulders are also stuffed- will be provided for you two. AGMs are publicized via the website- they don't put the attachments there. I...

Easts' was in December - I didn't go. Does that help? :p How are the preparations for the National Club champ game going? Will the apparent absence of the Cox boys impact you heavily?

@SouthernX I see what you're saying, however given that I find out if someone sustained a haematoma to the testicle (complete with nauseating pictures and a detailed description of how it happened and what happened in the next 24hrs and how it has since affected their 'performance') I'm...

There is also no way that Uni's potential involvement in the NRC could've been dangled as a carrot to anyone because Uni has not entered an NRC bid nor was there EVER any intention of submitting a bid. (Wests would've known this position when our Club President spoke informally to his...

Wow - that is really low, especially with the new $200 per senior team levy and the aggregation model of Premier grade funding. AND that on the website it says that the rego fees (on there it says fees are TBA) also cover strapping tape for games - that's a massive expense (2 ankles strapped...

What is it about Wests that would make you assume that their fees would be lower than GPS (and/or on par with Uni's)? Or to turn that question around if it's easier to answer, why are GPS fees higher than what you assumed Wests would be charging? EDIT: my post was written before RugbyGreg's...

A little off-topic but I asked AJ what his plans for this season were and he indicated that Japan was one option among a few he was weighing up. He was wearing one Byron Bay sock and one from his Sydney club. He was outstanding though- looked like a man playing against boys whenever he was on field.

The registration fees at Uni as of last year were $360 (or very close to). From what I've been told from players coming to the club this is cheaper than other places & also covers strapping for games. Edit: it's $360 for 2014 too Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

What? And actually ASK the players why they left Wests for other clubs? I dunno. It's easier, and surely more accurate, to put your assumptions on an Internet forum like they're fact. After all, the law of the internet says that if you say anything enough times it becomes fact. [I have...

Reluctant emergence from a happy retirement, SFR. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

I think there will be a hottie or two on the sideline for the Reds A game. Yes, for Valentines Day some lucky ladies get a dressing shed full of men.

From what I understand Turner hasn't decided where he is going - this is coming from people who know him well. Given he won't be playing much (you would think) it probably won't affect too much of the Premier Rugby 2014 season.

Couldn't agree more, and the Reds are also sponsored by the same company. One of the only sponsor 'activations' I've ever enjoyed. I'd love to see similar in Queensland. BUT the driving distance between Albury and Sydney is much less than between say, Brisbane and Townsville. Roma could work...

A man after my own heart there Big Dog. I'm a lady looking for the finer things: a marriage proposal incorporating "crouch set engage", a wedding on a day without rugby (or a big screen at the reception with speeches during the ad breaks), and for catering we can have a couple of pigs on a spit.

Appli Applies to to Super Rugby /ARU contracts only. [ie a member of the St George Queensland Reds or any other Super XV squad], but "Academy or 7s players ARU/QRU" can. Registered EPS would be, as I understand it, subject to the first, but WTS are the equivalent of Academy. Is Jonah an EPS...

Colts-aged Premier grade players are eligible to play Premier Colts for finals.

Sorry- I wasn't aiming to stir up the Easts - GC "debate" because it's been done to death and it bores me to tears. FFS players move clubs. They're allowed to. If no one has an idea that's fine, but for the sake of my intolerance for tedium, please leave my question out of this particular...

They've recruited fairly aggressively in Colts from what I've heard. Did you see any of their training session? For a club which has gone so well in colts for years now it's disappointing that there hasn't been the transfer of players to grades. Does anyone know where the colts from 2012 &...
