This old chestnut!! Player payments in QPR. I know one thing if there is a policy by the QRU it is not widely known or strictly enforced. I do know that the QRU frowns upon their contracted players receiving top ups from QPR clubs. The practicality is that I don't think there would be too...

After two rounds I'd say that Bond, Brothers & Bulldogs will be feeling pretty proud of their efforts to date. The Tigers will also be happy to sneak away with the chocolates over GPS yesterday. I think GPS might be suffering from a hang over given their recent success - Hospital Cup & ACC. It...

The send off - red card - judiciary process has been the same for about a decade. If you get a red card you are automatically suspended for the next round and the judicial hearing is set down for the following Monday (I.e. 9 days after the card being issued). In this case they will both face...

Who holds the Bunter?

Some great match ups in Round 2 Wests v Snbk South's v Bros UQ v Bond Easts v GPS

Norths are at their most dangerous when everyone writes them off - so underestimate their ability to stay in the battle at your peril. They will get better than they were on Saturday.

Great to see the season draw revert to normal when the order is the same in both halves of the season. I think 2018 was a real scramble in the 2nd half of the season.

Congrats to GPS Aust Clubs Champions 2019. Who was the last Brisbane Club to win it - I think Easts won 2009, Bros 2010, Qld Uni 2011 And I think Easts lost 2014, Uni 2015(?), Souths(2016), Bros(2017), Uni (2018) I don't think a QPR club has won it since 2011.

The Fonz (Aka: Alfonso Horomia) won't like starting on the bench (potentially reserve grade) that's why he left Sunnybank and Easts!! I don't think he'd start in prems at Wests either but credit where credit is due he did a job for GPS last year (get them over the advantage line) and he did it...

How are Bond shaping up?

So how many former QPR players are running around in Super Rugby (2019)? Here's a start but sure I don't have them all - Brumbies - Banks, Muirhead, Enever, Slipper, Lucas; Rebels - Genia, Cooper, Wilkin; Waratahs - Hunt; Sunwolves - Quirk, Moore; NZ (Chiefs??) - JJ Tualingi (?? Spelling??)...

Elias being a good mate of James O'Connor was into "Brand Power"!!!!

Last time I saw Peter Lee in a Sunnybank jersey was on the NRL rookie along with Elias Power who was wearing an Easts jersey. Power was back at Norths in 2018 after a year at Redcliffe Dolphins (Q Cup). My years might be a bit out I think they filmed NRL at the end of 2015 so maybe Power was...

Trials this weekend?

Isn't Latho coaching colts at Norths? Think he is also involved with a second tier RWC team. Gr8 to see him back in the rugby fold but don't know how it will help player attraction/retention at Shaw Road. Would have loved to have seen him return to Sylvan Road!!!

The Souths colts hooker (2018) has apparently left South's and joined Easts for 2019. The Tigers needed a hooker with Andrew Ready joining the Force.

Is David Pace (hooker) rolling around again - after all the commotion about him getting dispensation to play finals on safety ground (despite the fact that their colts hooker who is in Aus U20 consideration this year was available) - his one scrum late in the minor semi resulted in a penalty...

Wests will lose the services of Lachie Maranta in 2019 as he has signed with the Dragons - the St George Illawarra Dragons that is. He was a good contributor at the Bulldogs but he may well be better suited to the 6 tackle game. He was an outstanding schoolboy player at Gregory Terrace. He...

Legaleagle, I was pleased to see GPS win this year - well done to all at Yoku Rd. I am also glad to see Foggerty back at GPS. But you would be bucking recent history if you went back to back - not since Canberra (2001-03) and Souths (91-95) has it been done. Having said that everyone...
