Big loss for the Dragons and the competition in general. I think I gave him a wrap at the time but he performed the most sportsmanlike act in the QPR2020 season when he called halt to the game against Bond at Oldmac this year after Connors was badly injured - the game had a couple of minutes...

Great to see Scott Harrison in charge of Reserve Grade - a great Bulldog. Carl Marshall was Wests coach this year. Is this club number 3 for Adrian Thompson - Easts, Brothers and now GPS - mind you I think he played for GPS in his day. Success has eluded Adrian since he took Grant Batty's...

Fair enough Warhorse but my sentiments were based on the fact that a few years back 6/7 sides were truly vying for the top 4 and I just don't see that in the last year or so. And I am sorry but your comments about Souths commendable 2020 tend to prove my point - the win over Brothers aside...

Question for debate - I love QPR but I have a sense that the stardard of the comp may have dropped off in the last few years. I say this because despite Bond's final appearance this year there are a number of clubs who haven't featured in finals for some years and won't next year -...

Isn't this the point that the traditional school to club transitions (Nudgee to Bros, BBC to Wests, MBAsh to GPS) for better or worse have gone by the wayside for the better part. GPS can't just expect that every decent rugby player from MBAsh will end up at GPS in Colts. Even if they do it...

Well give him a Reds deal so that we can see more of him in QPR.

I also think it wrong of the Reds to give Nasser opportunities at hooker ahead of blokes who have proven themselves in the position at junior rep and Premier grade level. Will be interesting to see what opportunities are given to Nasser next year in the hooker position at the Reds. Then what...

I do suffer from a bit of "anyone but Uni" syndrome.

I didn't want to poke the bear but their scrum was massacred in Premier grade, and from the little I saw of the colts 1 GF I think Uni played with a sense of entitlement. And an ordinary lineout in Prems didn't help either. First throw of the game was crooked lead to scrum, scrum penalty...

The biggest issue for GPS is the number of colts but that can be cyclical.

Part of the issue is the widening gap between GPS and AIC(formerly TAS) rugby. And the fact that in the last 10 years Ashgrove hasn't dominated like it use to with Padua, St Edmund's, St Lawrence's & Villanova winning 1st XV premierships. So whilst MB Ashgrove once sat well above the other...

I think you need more than just Marist Brothers Ashgrove to secure success. Coincidentally as Brothers evolved from the Christian Brothers, Wests evolved from the Marist Brothers and were known as the Maristonians.

For me Bond are the team that are at cross roads - can they take another step up or will they fall back? And Easts will experience somewhat of a premiership hang over. So of the top 4 this year - I think 3 (Easts, Bond & GPS) could be in a battle to stay there. Will be interesting to see...

Weren't Arnold & Meehan at GPS in 2013 when they came up one short v Easts. I think Buzz was also involved.

Well done to the Tigers 1,2,3,5,C4&W 6/6. I heard Uni held record of 5/5

Stumpy I hear the 3rd grade game was a cracker yesterday with Easts scoring a converted try with 1 minute on the clock to run out 30-27 winners. Any chance you can give us a match report? I hear that Rugby was the real winner!!

Just to really slip the boot in now why do Bond and UQ-Taylor Bridge both have the Bull-Shark as their mascot? With this anti-Uni Sunday morning- admittedly borne out of some jealousy - I'll be cheering for Brothers in Colts And Easts in First grade today.

Is the fact that Uni and Brothers dominate the colts competitions with 7 of 8 grand finalists between them a concern. I say that we (other clubs) just need to be better not bitter. It does seem strange that Mac Grearly is at Uni given his older brother is at Easts. I don't know why but Uni...

My apologies I forgot about 6th grade. The Family club - I have heard it all from Crosby now. Uni & Bond aside - have no juniors - I think all clubs have "family" as part of their ethos. Who has the most juniors GPS, Brothers or Easts? Before Students start - the Bull Sharks - I think you...

Easts 3/3 thus far. C4, 5th & 3rd grades. Uni 0/3 in colts to date. Bros 2/5 with C2 & C3 wins. GPS won 4th grade. Bring on tomorrow.
