Souths on the move in Colts 1. Uni last week and Brothers this week. The next two weeks of Easts and Bond will be crucial. Harry Mc-P coming back from injury has made an incredible difference.

Get it straight! It is warhorse not warehouse. I note that you only took issue with one aspect of my reply to your load of rubbish about Souths. Maybe a "whole team" was a slight overreach but certainly a significant number of "recruits" while the Reggies run 7th.

I have had a more than 50 year connection with Souths and have a close association with Reggies and 1st Grade. All this rubbish that guys don't want to play 1st Grade, and we are stacking in 2nds and 3rds is absolute rot. I see Reggies players before every session speaking with coaches about...

Please remember that Souths were blocked by the Planning Court from building a 2nd field in Yeronga Park. It cost the Club hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees etc. It has been quite a few years since that decision, which was the result of local activists' campaign of deceit and maybe...

At the beginning of the season there is a Lightning Series for Under 18's which gives school age players an opportunity to play in the Club environment and get a feel for Colts level rugby.

Apologies. I thought he was there before Bond. Sorry.

Dylan Rowe is an itinerant club player. He began as a premiership winning Colts 1 player at Souths in 2009 and played grades at Souths for a number of years after that. He then played overseas in Scotland and Spain and represented Croatia and has since played for Norths, Bond Uni and now UQ.

Happyman: a correction to the above. Van Nek was not tactically subbed. He was subbed off for Blood Injury and never returned to the field. I assume the blood was the result of a head knock(it appeared so on the night), so I would think that he would have to go through some protocols. The ref...

I think you will notice that by the Friday night before a game weekend, not every club has their team lineups for each grade in Rugby Explorer. Rugby Explorer is the publicly accessible app. I don't believe a Club should be ostracised for naming a possible team on a Thursday or Friday but...

The week before the weekend in question, Josh Coward played Premier Grade for Souths v UQ. He wasn’t coming back from injury. It appears to be a conscious decision to play this high quality player in 3rd grade. The vibe?

On the Match Day app which is used by Team Managers on the game day to record their team, a manager can adjust their team list at varying times including up to kick off. The bench can be changed up to 15 minutes into the game. I can't see that Souths has any case to answer, with submitting team...

Not sure if things have changed since the app was introduced but a few years ago a player from overseas or returning from overseas could be registered with a club but was not allowed to play until the necessary clearance arrived from the overseas Union/Club. While working as a Club Rugby Manager...

Certainly the message he gave Souths when he left.

There were NO games hosted at Souths on Saturday. I am not sure of what the arrangements were with Riverside for playing some grades there: 5ths, 4ths, 3rds and Colts 1, 2 and 3. I would think that it would Riverside's call and not Souths, on how many games could be accommodated at Riverside...

Souths v Easts has been postponed. 5ths, 4ths, 3rds and Colts 1, 2 and 3 have been transfered to Riverside Rugby Club, at Bulimba.

I don't know what you're talking about with Chipsy Wood Oval. I am at the Club at the moment and a full complement of Juniors are training. The field is lush and green and ready for play tomorrow.

The Souths v Wests was interesting with Souths coming out resounding winners 42(6 converted tries) -12. Souths won all three Colts grades.

Yes PPRugby I was there. George was a beast in the scrums and if I was an Easts supporter, I would be in total embarrassment and disgust at the comments that were made towards George when he left the field at the 20 minute mark. There is banter that is usually directed towards a player who has...

If you are going by trial form, Souths have performed strongly against Norths and Easts. Not sure what the score was against Norths, but they defeated Easts 21-19 last Saturday. The Souths coaches made a heap of changes in the last quarter of the game and the depth in the Club was certainly...

Great to see that Souths Junior Colts have taken out back to back Lightning Competition Premierships by defeating University Under 18's by 19-5 in the Grand Final this afternoon. Well done to the Mighty Magpies and their coaches and managers.
