How many games a year for a professional rugby player in the UK/ France?

Yeah and meanwhile across the ditch Ardie Savea running out for his club last weekend. The cotton wool approach helps prevent injuries to our elite, unfortunately also stifles development on so many other levels.

Heeno was also watching the recent U18’s games in his Reds’ kit.

Adrian Thompson.

Yeah, strong looking forward pack, particularly front row. Scrums could get nasty for UQ this weekend.

If you believe all teams running around during trials were at full strength and a true reflection of their starting First XV’s, then you might be correct. That’s unlikely to be the case though.

Agree, thought he was the difference in the forward packs last year. Has a pretty good record in GF's.

What’s going on with Wests’ defence? They are leaking lots of points.

Interested to see how Adam Korczyk goes, named at 6 for UQ this weekend.

Yeah, only ever one field up the top. Field had a different orientation and the clubhouse was in a different position. One of the other issues they had getting the development through was car parking. Extra car parks go hand in hand with development approvals and the main reason why the...

The side of the field nearest the clubhouse spends a lot of time in the shade over winter and the foundations of the clubhouse are also close to the sideline preventing natural drainage that way, so it’s all on what’s under the turf to let excess water disappear. The north eastern end of the...

Got to remember there’s a big chunk of the game when we don’t have the ball. The positives of what Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) can do with ball in hand don’t make up for negatives in his defensive game for me. Kellaway to start at 14.

Yeah the Dura have been very good at home and claimed far bigger scalps over the season than the Reds. Dare say the Saders might even be a little about next week. However doesn’t change how disappointed I am with the Reds yesterday. Lack of cohesion across the park, too much one out stuff and...

What were the FT scores?

Shit lift from Zander.

Tate unlucky there not to get the turnover.

Just scrolling through the team lineups for the weekend and noticed Michael Wood named on the bench at #20 for Norths. Same Michael Wood from Brothers and the Junior Wallabies of 2019?

Looks like a kid still, but he won the Shaw Medal in the 2019 QPR final. Was freakish on the day, turned the game for UQ. Would let be to see him back at Ballymore!

Pick and stick maybe? Works for Qld in Origin……

Would have loved to see how the 2021 Junior Wallabies would have gone. The squad had a very similar lineup to the 2019 U18 team that had an undefeated tour of NZ. Plenty of them now running around in Super Rugby, reckon we might have been a chance.
