    Qld Premier Rugby 2013

    Miles is studying medicine at Griffith Uni. That is his priority not Rugby. I think he will end up with the Breakers as he could play with less time commitment although Sunnybank remains an option.

    Qld Premier Rugby 2013

    The 1st intake of Prep is in Year 6 this year so we are 6 years away from needing to alter the competition to accommodate matriculation age. The move back from Under 20 was due to a drop off in recruitment/retention of players from school as clubs could maintain players in Colts for 3 years...

    But does Jarrod have 8 cousins from Melbourne living in his house who all play for the club. Digby is worth his weight in genetic gold!

    http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/its-all-in-the-head-why-footballers-are-dying-a-slow-death/story-e6freraf-1226578833035 We have a lot of issues that we have to deal with short term, but I see a real threat to the future of contact sports with accumulating research and court cases. There is...

    Qld Premier Rugby 2013

    Meehan is in the Australia U20 Camp this week. Clubs that have players in the U20s will not see them until July around Round 13. They are only available for Rounds 2, 4 & 6 and only then if they are passed fit. They would have also been missing for training prior to these games.

    Qld Premier Rugby 2013

    The scholarships definitely are very influential for academic players like Pleash, Korczyck and Cornelson who all would have played elsewhere if the money wasn't an issue ($6k +). Most people acknowledge that a player and their parents would be stupid to knock back the offer but it is...

    Qld Premier Rugby 2013

    Based on the try he scored against Fiji after executing a prior turnover I would think his next game of club Rugby will be in late August.

    Rugby Summer Sevens Programme 2012/13

    Wrap up from Darwin Daveta were turned away at customs with visa issues robbing the tournament of a quality team. Auckland were very big and very fast and saved their best for the reigning champions Borneo in the final. PNG were not consistent enough to hang with the Cup Pool but their No. 10...

    Headgear cam in QLD Premier Rugby

    The purpose is really only beneficial for training. As the test demonstrates there is too much movement activity and you would get better end on perspective from a camera placed on the goal posts from end on. The Rebels had these at last year's preseason training and the best option for training...

    Olympic sevens selection

    Jets is correct. 7s should be a separate franchise with contracts and options timelined to the Olympic cycle. While the national academy can make major contributions here (as with the U20s) it essential that we establish a national 7s championship as per NZ. Who knows, once the top clubs start...

    Australian Junior Rugby Union

    I would be very careful with what you read into the Arbib Report. Qld have very successfully transformed what was traditionally the best State Sporting Organisation in Australian Rugby into the best single team franchise. Community Rugby is only about spectating, consumption and aggregation of...

    Rugby Summer Sevens Programme 2012/13

    Sunnybank's men's and women's teams depart for Fiji tomorrow for the invitation Coral Coast 7s. Will be a tough ask playing only the best Fijian teams in Fijian conditions with the best invited teams from NZ also. Sunnybank also have Peter Lee and Jordan Tuapou playing for Australia in the same...

    Sunnybank won the Byron Bay 7s defeating Iconz in the final by 45-24. NSW clubs Norths, Randwick, Manly and Eastwood were in attendance so it was a good field.

    Qld Premier Rugby 2012

    Apparently not the Faainga's. Sunnybank met with them before they went to Souths. Money talks! GPShave a newly created fund raising committee that sources funding for players such as this. Extra Test lunch, sausage sizzles at Hotel LA - good on them. Thierry seems to know the commercial insides...

    Qld Premier Rugby 2012

    Jets wouldn't Sunnybank be better off spending money on contracting the best amateur players from other clubs to win the Premiership than focusing on Juniors, supporting schools and having a strong colts program?

    What can you say?

    I don't agree with or like what he is saying, but it s his opinion. If I was Robbie I would have been praying for arrogance like this to emerge so I could build against it. Talking to some squad members, hating the All Blacks is not in Robbie's DNA. I have been reserved on whether he needs to...

    Broadcast options for Australian Rugby

    $435 M for 5 years shared across 3 (maybe 4 with Argentina) nations. This is less than half, almost a third, of what the League got. Have no doubt that the gap between Rugby League and Union, not at a top level, but at an elite state league/club level, will get wider and wider as a consequence...

    After today's results Brothers appear to have the Minor Premiership tied up after outlasting GC for a bonus point win with SC next week. Sunnybank move to 3rd place on the ladder with a superior F&A to Easts. Easts are 1 point ahead of GPS. If Uni beat Easts next week and GPS beat Wests the...
