Yeah i guess they do, but I think regardless of the results of the grand finals this week, we won't see QBN players get anywhere near the numbers that Tuggers have got in this year, and nor should we, there are talented players right across the JID who have not been considered!

I think this wouldn't be a bad idea, have to play a certain percentage of games in that season in first grade. Could help, obviously need to be some allowance in that for circumstances, such as top quality player coming back from injury, but if you use Jake Rakic as an example, never been a...

Being perfectly honest i was 50/50 before the selection of the squad. I would of gone to watch games but would never buy supporter apparel. Happy with the ground, undoubtedly the best venue for such a team to play at. The name is not ideal, I get the reasons for it. It is a three way venture...

No, NRC is a great concept that is very much needed in this country. I should make it clear, am happy for there to be a Vikings team in it, just not in its current form!

Won't be any loss to me if there is no Vikings team in the NRC!

Totally agree, there needs to be a balance, but why would someone like Taula need to be picked when there are experienced campaigners in the front row like the Smith twins? Wouldn't you pick some of the younger blokes to develop them, because in all honesty the 4 props picked for the game day...

I have already answered why I don't agree with a lot of what you have said here. As far as player selection goes, it is subjective, subjective to a former Tuggeranong coach with his current Tuggeranong assistant. Yes I do know there Robberds is involved but I'm not sure he would get much of a say.

Well actually there was a Brumbies bid put in on behalf of the region, but instead of following through they took the easy option and join the Vikings one, much to the displeasure of a number of club presidents. I'm not arguing that a number of blokes that put in at the gym don't have the heart...

I have never said Perry does not deserve his spot, he is a great talent that has a bright future in the game. But if we are picking players for development reasons then surely a Penders or a Nadruku should be picked over a Taula? If we are picking players purely on their ability right now then I...

I have never said there is a Vikings conspiracy, I totally get the financial reasons for the team being as it is. Well it depends, are we picking players based on being more deserved of the team or for development reasons?

Of course they were going to get more players, but double the amount of every other club put together is a bit over the top!

Don't know where to start with what I disagree on in this post, but glad you agree it is hypocrisy giving Taula a spot. Judging players on gym performance is one of the things that is wrong with selection for professional teams. Pity we can't measure the strength of the heart cause that has as...

You were close about us being in all the finals, bit of a shame about the end of the season for our 3's! Hopefully we can pinch a grade or two off the professionals!

It would be nice if they were consistent with this. If Perry was picked over Penca for development reasons, shouldn't the same be applied for Nadruku or Penders over Taula. Oh no that's right, it's as simple as the fact that Tuggeranong players are picked over players from any other club!

Al All good mate, just wanted to make that known!

Dan Penca was never asked!

Not sure about Gungahlin, although I don't think they do. Yes Christini was full-time as was Kim Thurbon before him. This was when clubs received funding from the Brumbies, since this has stopped there is no way our club could afford a full-time coach!

Yeah that is exactly how the finals work, i hope you're right about QBN taking on Vikings in all grades, would be a good day for our club to have all grades in, a lot of hard work to do between now and then though. Would like to think we could knock them off in a few of those grades. Second...

On a brighter note, I am really looking forward to our matches this weekend, we are massive underdogs in all grades, Vikings have improved again this year, particularly in lower grades. We have a heap of blokes out but think we will be up for the challenge in all the games, hopefully add to...
