While I wasn't at the game I did hear that Tuggeranong didn't seem interested, which is strange, wouldn't think it would be hard to get up for a match on such a big day for their club. Easts played their grand final against us at QBN about 6 weeks ago, doesn't surprise me that they continue to...

Don't think it is a long stretch saying Royals are favourites now!

The reasoning is that it is too hard to filed a colts team. I know Wests say they struggle with colts as well. We would lose so many kids out of school to the game if there wasn't a colts competition. You are right, most of them wouldn't be up to 1st and 2nd grade straight out of school and 3rd...

You're probably right, we did play some very ordinary rugby towards the start of the year with him in the side though. No doubt he brings plenty to the side. I think it is a joke he is being left out of the Brumbies 22. Andrew Smith can only play centre and I think Rathbone's experience is...

I think Sio, To'omua and White will all be in Wallabies camp, but even without them it is very competitive. I think Kimlin will go straight to France after the Brumbies finish, just like Hegarty did last year. It is pretty exciting that we are talking about 4 teams with a chance of winning it...

There are a lot of good people at Easts, and sounds like you are one of them, I hope that they're passionate and determined enough to put the proud club back in a competitive position. I think you may get your wish, I think Vikings will get knocked off!

Couldn't agree more, I know Nicholls is a horrible place to play rugby on cold days, but it was pretty horrible at Griffith too, we had a full bench!

I know it might seem like I am picking on Easts, but I do want them to become a strong club again for the benefit of the game in Canberra and for the competition. The reason why I am so critical is because they have been given a number of Brumbies this year and it seems some people think that...

I think they are a massive chance, I would say Royals with the calibre of players they have back they would have to be favourites for the title. Big call I know with Tuggeranong not having lost a game, but I don't think they are as invincible as the past couple of years.

Is it right that Smiler didn't show up and that Oosthuizen refused to play the second half? Not sure how you end up with 12-13 players on the field in first grade when you have 3 other grades that play before them?

Very happy with our boys performance from QBN, although Wests were missing a number of players, especially in their forwards.

To start with the ACT rugby won't be splitting from the Brumbies, while there was many pros from the review last year it was deemed better to stay together. I totally agree with what you are saying about the lack of advertising for the local comp, the standard this year has been the best by far...

Does anyone else think it is a bit strange that we have a competition bye for a Sydney test match while Sydney club rugby is being played? Not minding the weekend off but couldn't we have it on the long weekend?

This is true but I think talent is pretty well spread amongst the top 5 clubs, will definitely make it interesting with those boys coming back!

In what way? I think all the clubs in the top 5 will be equally improved.

Yeah our boys won't want to leave it until then to secure it either. I wouldn't say you guys at Royals are completely safe either, I know you have a number of big guns to come back but they would want to get it back together pretty quick!

Tuggeranong Wests Royals And I'd like to say QBN but it will be very close with Gungahlin

Yeah right, doesn't help our finals ambitions at QBN but I was kind of glad to see Easts get beat, maybe their coach meant it when he said he doesn't care if they don't win another game all year after beating us the other week, even they have beaten Uni since! With that calibre of players coming...

Did anyone watch the Royals and Easts game? Thought Easts with their stacked team would be way too strong for a depleted Royals side? Was Sokai Tai back? Who else did they have back from the team against QBN the week before? Or did the boys from the week before step up?

Being totally honest I don't think we have showed any great performance over the past couple of weeks to suggest that we are on a roll. With all respect to Royals, it was by no means a strong team that took our boys on Saturday week ago, but there was definitely a lot of positive signs to come...
