Quite a few names coming into contention for EPS spots, which is good to see, strength in the local comp. Also heard UJ Seuteni won't get another contract because he simply has not been able to perform at club level. No complaints here, I would much rather see Louis Frisby or Dion Taumata take...

Does anyone else think Michael Stollberg (Easts) is looking the goods to make the step up into a Super Rugby squad? He had been brilliant past month or so. Personally I think he's been outplaying the more favoured Enever.

Read and McCaw get through an assload of work, so why have another workhorse in Thompson. Vito and Messam offer that ball running impact Kaino offered.

Easts beat 49-26(?) over Wests. Great game, really attacking rugby from both sides.

$15k is pretty decent for a 18-21 year old. Alot of then also study part time. I think it is appropriate for younger players who haven't earnt the big bucks yet

Not a bad idea actually, he's looked pretty good. It would allow Albert Anae to focus more on playing prop instead of hooker. Also, surley Frisby will be on a fulltime contract next season, not an EPS.

If Easts can defend as well as they did last week during the first half they should have this one. Butler and Stollberg will be the go to men up front and I'm thinking that the firepower outwide (Mansell, Skelton, Wilder) will get them over the line. Should be a close game though, looking...

I was trying to work that out earlier today. Obviously Read and McCaw are certainties, but that leaves 4 men pushing for two spots (Vito, Messam, Thompson and Cane). If it was me I'd start with Vito and have Messam on the bench.

Well one of them was definatly outstanding.

I prefered it when everyone just ganged up on Brothers.

Taps spent 90% of his game time this year at 13, and was the Red best back when he was fit.

Agree with all of that FilthRugby....maybe Tigers over all the rest though :-P Tempted to go down to Souths just to watch Quade play on Saturday.

With McCabe out I'd love to see Barnes and Tapuai in the centers. Maybe Fainga'a instead of Taps at this stage. Still not sold on Horne.

So he is the exact same as Dallan Murphy?

Do we even need McDuling as a lock? We have Horwill, Simmons and Wallace-Harrison. I'd want to see him trialled at 6 first.

Yeah but he said against Easts, so I think old Quade is un-informed when it comes to club footy. Tempted to go down to Souths and watch him though. Maybe this means all the other Wallabies will get a game? If that is the case Sunnybank will destroy everyone (Shatz, Gill, Tapuai).

Don't worry I'm on the same page as you on this one, I have my worries. I think this year will define how he progresses as a player. He will get alot more game time and hopefully stays injury free. I'm hoping the same progression as Shatz, who only found his feet as a Super Rugby player at the...

Bit harsh their TD. He really has not had a chance to prove himself at Super Rugby level. But I do get the jist of what you're trying to say, but if he stays fit I suspect he will improve, he has the mongrel to be a beast in defence.

It comes to the style of the team. French sides don't really play with a fetcher, so Dusautoirs style is suited. If Quirk played for a South African side, he'd be seen as a 7.

The Force should definatly look at Brisbane Premier Grade. Quality players coming out of our ears that would be really really good for the Force to develop. A few names that are prospects Pettowa Parakka (Prop), Ruan Smith (Prop, already played), Michael Stollberg (Lock), Nigel Ah Wong...
