That is just awful. I looked at the live stream it's the last play of the game looked really innocuous but clearly not. Got to give a wrap to Tom Lucas there was a minute to play and he just went up to Damon Murphy and told him to blow fulltime. Well done Tom Lucas showed a great deal of...

Was Lachie Connors badly injured late in the Bond game on the weekend? Very cruel if true - no one deserves that particularly this kid who has already experienced significant injuries that have hampered his young but very promising career. I wish him a full and speedy recovery but from what...

After round 9 and Rounds 10- 11 Easts 29 Bye, Bros(A) Uni 27 Wests(H); Bond(A) Bond 26 GPS(H); UNI(H) GPS 24 Bond(A); Bye Bros 22 Snbk (A); Easts(H) Wests 13 Uni(A); Sth(H) Snbk 8 Bros(H); Nth(A) Norths 8 Sth(A); Snbk(H) Souths 2 Nth(H); Wests(A)

Seems crazy that we could have the top two teams (Uni & Easts) go through H&A with only one loss - both have two games remaining and their bye. Wests, Bond and Brothers stand in front of that eventuating. Then will the Welsby Cup be up for grabs in the Major Semi?

Sorry only 12 games remaining in H&A - got my maths wrong!

Every club has at least one game remaining where the results will impact the finals composition. The only dead rubbers will be Norths v Souths in round 10 where both sides will be desperate to secure a win AND Snbk v Nths in Rnd 11. I suspect that Sth v Wests in Rnd 11 might also be a dead...

By my calculations all down to Wests are still a chance to play finals footy. The Bond game against GPS & Uni and Bros v Easts are the big ones. I think if Uni and Easts can secure one more win each then they'll pretty much finish 1 & 2 unless Bond win their last 3 and with Rounds 10 & 11 at...

There was some good karma at Sci-Fleet yesterday.

As the clock wound down in 3 of the 4 games there was the possibility of a draw. QPR20 is a great contest again. As I see it we have Uni,Easts, Bond, GPS, Bros in the mix - Sunnybank & Wests are on wood & better get on a winning streak but Norths & Souths are out of finals contention...

Where do you find the points tables and Doughty Shield points these days?

The Hoff does a great job with the referees - he doesn't deserve too much flack - but for a referee he has a pretty good sense of humour and a thick skin.

Best day of the year - Pilecki-Shaw trophy. Both sides would love to have these two still running out for their club. Both men were exceptionally talented but above all great club men.

My recollection is that he was a hooker in the initial stages at Snbk before moving to TH(?) I can definitely recall him lineout throwing for Snbk - maybe even whilst playing TH.

Agreed the front row was once the domain of the old wise head but they seem to get younger every year -e.g. Zanderr (Reds/Nth), Van Nyk (Easts), etc even the Thor is still young in prop years. And they know their stuff.

Yes I've heard that for the last few weeks GPS have carried a full fresh bench for premier grade and gone uncontested from the kick off in reserve grade - please explain to me how that is in the spirit of rugby?

Look you GPS guys dish it out enough on this forum, it is swings and roundabouts. If you just lie low for a while there'll by another issue get blown up here in no time. When you get done on a Saturday in a massive game you have to expect to cop a bit the following week - it's called banter...

I know it's early but I am happy to offer up a top 4 projection of Easts, GPS, Uni, Bros Just watched the second half of Easts v GPS and I think once Easts put their mind to it out paced GPS which surprised me.

Protected species are GPS & Brothers.

Sometimes these guys don't come back due to injury/early operations/Wallaby duties etc and sometimes their return can disrupt the team flow as guys take a back seat and leave it up to the rep players to get the job done - sometime the returning Reds are fools gold. It can inspire your opponents...

I agree but I don't think this is in anyway the QRU's fault - I think Michael Backstrom (completion) & Brendan "Sauce" Hertel (media) do a great work for QPR. More pressing how confident are you about Easts this weekend?
