Ahh right, well actually when you think about it that way, does kind of make sense. Because aren't Premier Colts players, as of last year (may be longer) allowed to play up in either Prem Grade or Reserve Grade? If thats the case having a similar name to keep the three grouped makes sense.

In all seriousness, does anyone know why 1st grade is now called Premier Reserve? Surely there is some logical reason, maybe? It seems more confusing to me having two teams with the name Premier in them. Guess it'll benefit those fellas trawling the Caxton dancefloor after a Reds game "Yeh I...

Can I get some more info on Sam Johnson, the Reds A 12? Age? Prior rep teams? I know he was briefly mentioned a bit earlier in the thread but hes the only name I don't really know. Reds team looks good. We have very versatile backs starting and on the bench which I like.

Well to be honest I don't have much knowledge of other clubs setups so this is all just what I perceive from an outsiders view. Look at the current Wests setup for example, two fields, club house facilities and basic changing sheds (also not having a dig here at the Doggies just stating what...

Had confirmation last night that Marco Kotze is playing at GPS this year and has attended some training with the Reds as well as flying to Perth for tryouts with the Force. Reds would be smart to look at him, a very hard baller runner.

Yeh thats about $100 cheaper than GPS, however, I would have thought Wests wouldn't be too expensive either.

I thought it was common knowledge at this stage that Sef was playing at Uni? Didn't we get confirmation when they named the Reds A team?

Not sure if body shape will change but the emphasis on transfer of weight in the scrum etc could open the door to lighter props being given a better crack if their technique is good. I think if there is one position where there might be changes it is the hooker. With the new laws, having a...

I had heard a few have jumped ship but that Tuttle, Magnay, Jayden and someone else whos name escapes me had all signed on and were staying. They are the blokes who'd been training with Premier Grade. Also the massive influx of new blokes to GPS might have scared a few second year colts away...

Ah I wish Filth but you really needs LOTS of numbers. At the moment I believe they have about 50 colts on the books for 2014. To sustain 4 colts teams over the year you'd want at least 80 I reckon to cover for injuries, uni exams etc. Better to keep the extra numbers and rotate rather than have...

Oh thats good then, must have been a recent addition because their name wasn't mentioned during the meeting last week to make sure the comp is played on saturdays.

Hard to beat Uni with their extra colts team. GPS have a womens team this year though so might get close. Edit: Just remembered only one team in each grade gets counted so disregard my extra colts comment.

Anyone know whats happening with Logan's colts program? I thought they'd have a team playing on the same round as Gold Coast but I see that Gold Coast are fielding Premier Colts and Colts 1 teams and then no mention of a Logan side even in Colts 2.

Good win by the Rebels, the Reds really only looked dominant for the first 10mins from where I was and after that seemed to turn off. What really turned me off though was the facilities at Ballymore. An hour before main game kickoff and already massive lineups for the toilet and drinks. Not...

Vili will be playing in Premier Grade and/or Premier Reserve (the new official name for 1st grade) at GPS this year again.

QRU met with the clubs yesterday I believe to discuss the move of Colts 2 to Friday nights (most clubs opposing the move), anyone heard how this went?

When/if Grasso heads off i'm sure Curtis Franks will be given a decent crack at the job, although he was stuck in 2nd grade a bit last year with Scott Malolua playing a head of him. Also colt James Tuttle I believe played 9/10 at Nudgee last year and has been training with the Prems squad so...

TT, Grasso might be on the outer with QLD setups. There is a rumour going around GPS that he's only playing here until he finalises some type of deal with a rugby side over in Italy in hoping to play for the Italian national side as he sees his professional dreams in Aus as finished.

I like the 10/12/13 combination here. Harris being there allows him to take some ball distribution duties away from Quade which can allow a bit more 'free flowing' and also means CFS should see lots of attacking opportunity as Harris is a pass first type of player.

Filth, I believe there are all new coaches in 3rd and 4th grade as well as Colts 1 and 2. From the names I've had mentioned to me they are all recent ex-players (most played in 2013) looking to either hang up the boots or take a year off. And of course Drahm has come across from Brothers to help...
