I watched the Wests V Souths Game via live streaming and have to disagree with Loin in so far as the standard of the game. I am an old Wests supporter but I was dismayed at the lack of structure in the backline. The forwards kept Wests in the game. Souths didn't play well and Wests were...

Interesting observation made by Trainer GB that I agree with wholeheartedly. Over the years and there has been a few I have seen this sort of thing happening where we hang onto a player or play one out of position rather than bring on a young up and comer. Perhaps it is the contracting part...

Well done to Matt Gordon, he is a good young man who has battled a bit of injury over the last few years, I hope he does well in his new club. He used to play with and against my son on the darling Downs when they were young and who now plays for Wests.

Guys back about 20 to 30 years ago Wests used to charge a gold coin entry to the match day, I know as I was on the committee back then when we introduced it. We would have charged everyone but we couldn't fence off all the ground. Brothers used to do this in the 80s as they could fence off all...

Having just read triplets post, I agree there was the transition period where colleges did evolve but as I remember they were teachers norths then and became colleges etc then Norths started up at Shaw Park, Damien Frawley went to Brothers and Bill Campbell stayed with Wests as did Lester to...

Hi Guys According to my memory as far back as the early 70s there was QIT rugby club, that became Teachers Norths and then now it is Norths. QIT is now QUT university. That is the transition as I can remember. QIT used to be a great small rugby club made up of students and others that wanted...

I am aware that Hutchinson was injured, Tommy B, but the selection of Genia certainly backfired, my puzzlement is with the coaching selection, if Genia has displayed some form in his previous outings I would go along with his selection, but this was not the case, The coach would have been better...

Have to feel for the front row at Wests I think one is 20 and the other is still 19, they put up a great show but were out muscled in the set piece by a vastly more experienced sunnybank, however like Dan Crowley said nothing like getting your head shoved up your backside to learn how to scrum...

Went to Sunnybank on Sat and watched the Wests prems get dusted. I have a problem with selections for Wests. Two weeks ago Nigel Genia appeared out of nowhere and got a gig for the second half and played like a bloke who hasn't played all year and then the same thing happened at the Brothers...

Thanks guys I was relying on others to tell me who it was. The result still remains the same,

Wests V Uni was a great match and Wests were in front at half time but Uni drew on their Reds reinforcements in the second half and I think it was a player named Seitu??? in the wider playing group of the Reds, who carved Wests up and that was the difference. The scrum was a vast improvement on...

Dyson I saw that the Souths front row were boring in, and that is what I mean about technique, The South bloke got right under our bloke to punish him and it was made easier by the Wests man lacking technical skill in packing with a rounded back in the first place that puts him in a weak...

I watched Wests V Souths on the weekend. Actually the two teams were quite even throughout and it was a fine contest, Souths won the match and deserved to win. Oh what Wests would do for a front row. The Wests scrum was just demolished and that stuffed up the rest of the team. Even from my...

In answer to the big dog. Tom Christie was from Sunnybank he came down from Warwick, about 4 years ago 1stXV HB for Scots PGC and has been playing at Sunnybank but shifted to Jeeps this year to get some quality game time. He has a great pass and is a good HB. Good likable young man.

Yes Greene will not be eligible for under 20 next year as he spent two years in year 12 and is 20 this year. I will reserve my judgement if Brothers play him as first choice Prem Fly half. It was all very well to be first choice at Wests but there are / were some really good flyhalfs at...

I watched the first half of the game Wests v Norths prems and thought that Wests were superior in most departments. However they will miss their fly half in the coming weeks, he didn't look good coming off midway through the first half with what looked like severe hamstring injury. I watched...

I'm with you southernX, I would have enormous difficulty barracking for Uni or Sunnybank in a national comp. If they want to have four teams from Brisbane name them something like what they were in the ARC and then get on with it. All this crap about tribalism is just that. We have our club...

I was at Wests for the last game on the weekend. On the state of the oval. The ground looked as if it was bare but in actual fact the field was quite well grassed. the brown patches were couch that browns off in the winter and the green patches were Rye grass that grows in the winter...

Watched Easts V Wests at Sylvan Road, mainly to see how the HBs matched up. The captain of Wests was playing in his preferred position at HB and proved to be better than Deck and the other guy who replace him. Wests put up a fight, but like all year they were just overrun. Easts look like...

Wests V Gold Coast match was as expected with Wests winning by a fair margin. Bit of a sloppy match though as Wests were on top very early but went to sleep in some parts of the match that let the GC back in for some tries. Sam Green had his best game by far for Wests, this was brought...
