This is unfortunately why mungo ball is the preferred code. I know most things have improved dramatically under the current QRU administration but spurning the weekend battler could have some long term repercussions. Especially considering most clubs rely heavily on the rego fees of the 70+...

So its now official that 1st grade is now Premier reserve grade, and 2nd grade is now 1st grade, and so on and so forth.......If it wasn't confusing enough as it was.

I thought Buchanan struck a deal in Italy for padova?

@Cat_A this was said down at the Kennel and again I will say that justifying something like this is hard as people get offended. I didn't think what I was saying was attack on someone's character but more the nature of sport. So again apologies to those concerned.

Scott, sorry to offend the reason given to Wests was that the NRV was a carrot was dangled in front of the players. I will admit that I assumed you as to be the Key point of contact as you would have been their mentor at wests and you had now taken a position at Uni. I will retract the statement

@Cat_A you would be naive to think that rego fees or QLD Samoa friends were the reason those boys left. For one they never paid fees at wests. The real reason is that Uni approached them them and told them that making the NRC would be easier at university. As Uni will either have there own...

Does that mean Fidow and Cochrane aren't playing? That would make sense considering Uni were apparently trading in anyway...which makes me feel sorry for players like Wakely & Brown who most clubs would enjoy having on the books. I think its a big mistake to not video tape games. Lower grades...

Do you have a link or a copy of this structure which you could share?

That lions team is worse, than the kings by a long shot. The kings were unlucky with injury but if they had a second year I think they would have improved dramatically. Serious work will need to be done if both the lions and kings are to play in the comp. otherwise it will be lowering the...

^^i think we need to limit the length and number of your posts....aim for max 75 words and only 2 posts per page please. I don't mind banter but your ruining the thread EDIT: May seem harsh but it needed to be stated

Browning was serviceable off the bench last year, as will he be this year. He will grow to be Australia's version of heaslip

Hasn't been the same since he go injured that year. The thing that has me excited for this season is what I expect will be an even better standard of rugby being played. The way the comp has improved over the last 5 years is just insane

Numbers is the first step to success. Wests will win games this year I am not gonna make predictions on where they will finish on the ladder but I will say that It will be and improvement on previous years. All I will say is that the statement about no school boys representatives is very...

I have never really got the Ged O'hare love, I think he is good player but people always seem to rate him as the forgotten child of that talented QLD schoolboy year of 09 but personally I have always felt Beauchamp has better all round game, yet both are where they should. Living life as premier...

I agree but browning at 8, and McDuling at 6.

Numbers are up at the kennel since then and are cruising solidly around the 20 - 30 mark. As said previously this is quite a good number so early as they are expecting a few players when university returns. Also from what i am hearing the quality of players is quite good with a few gems in the...

I am converted. I am now a fan of Quirk and Robinson, however I disagree with the much touted sentiment of how aggression/abrasiveness is their best asset. Eben Etzebeth is aggressive and abrasive, Quirk and Robinson are just lads who give a 110% and rarely lose the collision zone. That's not...

I find lack of toilet paper a serious epidemic across Brisbane club rugby and as a gentlemen who habitually enjoys a strong curry and dark ale on a Friday night I am perpetually in strife on come Saturday rugby.... 　 But all semi serious jokes aside...if your looking for top notch amenities...

Norths best finish in recent years was 2011 where I think they came 5th? From what I have heard they have no real stars for the 2014 season. I think they still have the core from last year but don't have any real injection of fresh blood from the reports I have gotten. I imagine Varesa Matailini...

Problem with Logan is that while they have a solid reserve grade team, their lower grade teams really struggle to not be whooped by 50+ week in week out. Also I have no problem with not rushing their promotion into premier grade. I am pretty sure we can all remember what happened last time that...
