Really? I thought it was every womans dream to be romanced on the XXXX Hill for Valentines day?? Perfect date night location!

Anyone know how ticket sales are going for this one? Would think this being the only Ballymore game for the year it'd sell out before kickoff. I know its just a trial but really looking forward to this. The Rebels young squad have played well by all accounts in the first couple of trials but...

Apparently Wests and Souths have ended up with the remnants of the GPS coaching staff who were given the flick during the re-structure. A few handy coaches in the bunch, wouldn't be surprised if a couple blokes follow with them and provide some more depth to those clubs. Any more word on how...

I find that surprising especially on the back of a Premiership year for their Prem Grade side. I always knew they were only going to field two teams but still, thought they would do that easily. On the other hand I hear Souths (whom I believe are their closest geographical rivals but may be...

Generally, this is the opposite of when the clubs are saying colts rugby should be played and I agree with them. The expectation when leaving school is that all colts players get to bond with their mates and play footy on a saturday. As i've mentioned before generally (and im speaking in very...

Ive heard similar Tigerland. Not specifically about the NRC but rather just the QRU trying to squeeze the dollar and telling everyone whats going to be happening in all aspects of QLD rugby rather than getting club input. Not a great way to start the year.

If that structure is true, it could have a serious effect on club culture. I know at GPS the Friday Night teams have always kind of run their own show (for better or worse) which has limited their interactions within the greater club environment. Taking away two teams in 4th grade and colts 2...

I dont frequent the 3rd tier forum much, was there a final figure produced to what the cost would be for a team in the NRC? I would think majority of the clubs in Brisbane would struggle to cover outlays by themselves based off what I had heard (upwards of $200k).

Campbell Magnay all but sealed and delivered to GPS after confirmation of a QRU deal over the weekend which as I mentioned earlier eliminated his need any top ups from other clubs. Not long now until first trials, i'm sure we'll start seeing more defined squads forming at clubs so will get a...

I can still remember the many times Hanson has come off the bench in a pressure situation (eg opposition scrum 5m out from the Reds line) and been a difference maker straight away and I think that gives him an edge over Saia. If he can transfer those moments into a 50-60min performance then IMO...

Breakdown its interesting you mention Brad Wilkin for Easts and I noticed a few others over on the Premier Grade thread also bringing his name up from time to time. I know he will be playing there but I was under the impression he wouldn't be playing any rugby in 2014 due to shoulder surgery?

Galloper its also worth nothing that these days the MCA and GPS association also includes MCA making use of the GPS playing fields for training sessions during rugby season and I know on occasion GPS have played games on the Flats in desperate times when fields at Yoku were water logged etc. The...

Galloper - yes i've heard the usual large influx of MCA blokes are still making up the majority of the numbers which is good news. I agree, the stronger the team GPS can field the happier I am, last years colts especially were a bit of a let down so hopefully 2014 brings bigger and better...

I can't disagree with you that Saia's form on the back end of 2013 was some of his best, but if my memory serves me right haven't the twins been sitting on 1-year contracts for a few seasons? Not trying to say the Reds will willingly let them leave but it seems to me they aren't in the long term...

Lee, would you pick Gill as the most likely of the Reds current crop of young players to take over the captaincy from the current regime of horwill/genia? There are lots of potential candidates. Im personally a fan of Hansen being the next in line once he regains fitness and form and secures a...

No worries :) So now that training is back in full swing, has anyone got confirmed sightings of Greene? I know he's probably training with the Reds WTS but has he popped up at any club yet?

Im sorry if you've taken it that way Reg but it honestly wasn't what I was trying to do, I don't think I pointed out anywhere in my post that it was a negative? My missus and own mother are also part of these women. I was simply pointing out an aspect of the Saturday Yoku Rd ritual which I...

Haha Filth I have to admit you know Yoku Rd very well! It seems every dick and his dog like to come down and watch on Saturday's, there is even a tent full of women whom I like to call, 'The Housewives of Yoku Rd' who enjoy a bottle (or 3) of wine each and proceed to comment on players haircuts...

TT I just dont like the way to take swipes at the other clubs ie GPS and Sunnybank because they're running things differently to Easts. As for where the club is putting their money, I think it must be going to the right places cause over the last few years GPS have won back to back 4ths...

I assume youre trying to make a point that GPS is trying to pay a bunch of blokes to come to the club etc etc? I think we discussed this pre- Grand Final last year but about 15 of the 22 blokes who were in the GPS Prems squad had played there since juniors/colts so don't go starting anything...
