Regardless of whether GPS win the Hospital Cup or not I think we'll see a high turnover of players heading into 2015 with a few blokes getting Super Rugby opportunities and some of the older heads retiring. Whether this signifies a new era at the club and gives Shane or other coaches a reason to...

TT I think last year the club threw a lot of its resources behind winning Premier Grade and obviously fell just short, the attitude seems to have changed towards a more universal club success idea. Obviously winning Prems is the big prize but with 9 GPS teams competing in the finals there is...

TT thats a good question regarding Shane Arnold. From my perspective I think the club needs Shane more than Shane needs the club. As you would know Shane was involved with the Aus 20s this year and I think that role will grow, therefore it may be the question of whether, win or lose, Shane is...

I actually think its a good matchup for the Gallopers. Having played Brothers so recently the pain of the loss will be fresh in their heads and they will no doubt be working on the areas where Brothers were able to get on top of them. Also Samu playing and in-form is a massive boost. I can...

9 GPS teams in the finals this weekend, however, only two teams made the Major Semi and are guaranteed a second bite if they go down. Could either be a very happy or sad weekend coming up for Gallopers supporters.

There are 2-3 players coming back into GPS Prem Colts this weekend from injury and also wouldn't be surprised if they manage to get Sikameti and Tuttle from grades for this game. I'm hoping for a different result this time!

On this - it may be a bold move but if I were Shane Arnold I'd consider starting Liam McWhirter this weekend and having Bobby Tuttle play for Premier Colts to get some structure back. McWhirter is a seasoned player and with such good strike weapons out wide in Johnson, Samu, Kurindrani etc...

I personally would love Christie to start this weekend, IMO he's superior to Grasso and is also a great goal kicker which helps. I don't think its Shane Arnold's style to rest blokes like that but you never know, I guess its all about the bigger picture but in saying that, last game of the...

Filth I reckon it will be a close game. Last round of the year, special charity day down at Yoku will draw a big crowd and good atmosphere and the GPS boys will be looking to gain some momentum coming into finals. Honestly I can't pick a winner, will have to wait and see what the teams look...

The area where Brothers can really dominate other teams during the finals is utilizing their great backrow. Yes, Uni and Sunnybank may get a couple of Reds back but I believe the fact that the Brothers backrow has played together all year and remained largely unchanged works to their advantage...

Im starting to come to the realization that Frisby's unavailability in the finals could be more costly to GPS than I first thought. His creativity and spark is exactly what GPS need at the moment whilst they're in the this lull, especially with Tuttle playing 10, having Frisby at the scrum base...

The for and against gets changed as well, therefore couldn't GPS possibly jump into 2nd and the major semi? Also it would deny Souths the opportunity to contest for a finals spot as they would receive no points this weekend.

Interesting situation in Colts 1 this weekend. The outcomes of Souths (5th) vs Wests (last) and GPS (4th) v Sunnybank (3rd) could be very interesting. GPS could drop out of the top 4 if they lose to Sunnybank without a BP and Souths beat Wests. However, Wests Colts 1 have already forfeited...

Well there has been no announcement either way. Reds could use their marquee international spot on Nems, although I find it hard to believe the 'Saders would part with him easily, unless they have some big home grown Kiwi talent coming through.

I agree, I think its more likely Karmichael makes it to the Reds rather than the Broncos. Ben Hunt and Hoffman have been playing above expectations in the halves pairing for the Bronco's and with Milford on the way its just too much of a log jam. No way would they be able to offer Special K the...

A few incorrect facts there girtbysea. GPS Colts 2 have only gone uncontested on three occasions in 2014 - unfortunately two of these occasions have been against Brothers. GPS Colts 1 went uncontested for the first time on the weekend due to lack of front rowers through injury. GPS Premier...

GPS Prem Colts have been on a bit of a slide since securing the minor premiership a few weeks back. Seem to have taken the foot off a little bit which isn't an ideal run coming in to the finals. Lots of injuries down at the club in Colts though, only about 4 front rowers fit across all three...

May have been mentioned earlier or not at all but has the QRU put any concrete date on when they're going to address the public about changes, new/re-signings etc? I'd imagine it'd be after the S15 GF to avoid any unnecessary drama for players who may be coming from teams still involved (not...

I understand the professional sporting philosophy and not wanting players to risk greater injury etc etc but if players have the capacity to play then I believe they should be allowed to. Obviously not knowing the full extent of their injuries means I don't have the knowledge to make an...

Jeeper do you know why Kerevi and Kurindrani won't be available? I thought they'd definitely be playing asap to try and get the boys back into the major semi final.
