Agr Agree with a lot of what you are saying, and it should be the Brumbies trying to get into public schools, our resources at QBN don't allow us to spend much time perusing them. I would argue that Easts with the current first XV coach they have there would have a lot more access to Eddies...

I would suggest the number of rugby players in senior rugby at St Edmunds from QBN would be much higher than 30%! I don't know why any school should be seen as a 'feeder' for clubs. We feel that players come to play at QBN because of the environment we provide as a club. We have one meeting at...

Yeah let's hope they get a few fringe players, but I don't think they should rely on this alone. A real focus for us to get out of the dark times was to focus on cols age players and we are now seeing a benefit in the grades. I think this would be the best way for uni to go about it, and why I...

Uni-Norths from what I can see are struggling big time, in the 48 games they have played across 5 grades this year, they have won only the one game in second grade, on the weekend against Easts. This is surprising because they have always had a strong colts team. This is why I think it is unfair...

Still haven't heard the result from Uni and Easts? And did anyone watch Tuggeranong colts and know how they lost to Wests?

Full credit to Easts and the way they stepped up. Geeps got off very lightly, don't think there was anyone out there to get him, otherwise he would of known about it. And if he did get some rough treatment, it was nothing he didn't deserve, I pity your club for having to deal with him now. You...

Totally agree with the comp being weaker if not for the imports, we at QBN recruit players as well. The exaggeration you make is on the comp being only as strong as country rugby if we didn't have these blokes, not that there would be less teams, I think having the top clubs being so dominate...

I don't agree with you that Vikings won't be touched this year, I think anyone who makes the top 4 will have a genuine chance of taking it out. Yeah Easts are a totally different outfit this year when they have all of their Brumbies, but they only had Van Der Walt on the weekend and our first...

Only play when required, should stay in retirement refs don't like me haha. After today's performance we would need a miracle to make it, seems like we have forgotten how to win!

Wests beat royals 49-0 Tuggeranong beat Eagles 71-28

We We went down 25-23 to Easts in a very embarrassing loss! Yes I have, why do you ask?

Sorry, my mistake, he was there! The point I was trying to make was that it would be frustrating for blokes playing 2nd and 3rd grade (both very strong team) to never get the opportunity because recruits keep coming in front of them! The rivalry sure is still as strong as ever but I don't think...

You may be right, but why if their team was so successful the year before did they feel they needed to go out and recruit another 4 players? Surely Jake Knight (being a Brumbies Academy trailest and local bloke) could of played first grade again last year instead of getting that irish bloke in...

Who was at the Royals Tuggeranong match on the weekend? Was it a case of Tuggeranong playing bad or are Royals a chance of taking it out this year even without Rapana and Abel?

1. Agreed, QBN juniors have a massive drop off after under 12's because of kids that mainly go to Eddies. But lucky for us a lot of these kids return after school. 2. Look at their squad from last year, a lot of there players were bought here at the expense of a number of local players who...

Funny then that a Tuggeranong player (local junior of Tuggeranong) has contacted our club about the possibility of joining us because he is sick of the club continuing to bring in players in front of him, because he is not of super rugby level but is def a first grade standard player. And what...

So you're saying that Tuggeranong do promote their own juniors?

I hope so, would be good to see them get a win!

Haha I wasn't a big fan of it either, but Vikings supporters hating it was exactly the reason it was there, all in good spirit! Jamie 'Chainsaw' Marmont isn't playing for us this year so you won't need to worry about that!

It should also be remembered that QBN actually helped Tuggeranong in their very early years as QBN wanted a more competitive and bigger local comp, don't think at the time this help would of helped Vikings develop into the powerhouse they are now.
