Or GM is continuing down the untraveled path of bringing in young up & comers - and it’s simply a case that they are not household names yet… wasn’t south’s the best represented Oz rugby club last year in aus u20s? Think they had 4 or 5 home grown talents!

Go back a couple of pages - there was a few names on the move. don’t have specifics but it sounds like souths & Sunnybank are the big movers and shakers of offseason.

I said “no growth” codes in the same sentence when talking about “world games” rugby/soccer have you ever wondered why we are so shit at rugby and soccer… it’s because our junior pathways push young prospects to these football codes that will never be successful outside of Australia. Apologies...

I agree whole heartedly at your post about the journalist pushing this story. when you tell them “ballymore business case is multi use” they turn around and say “futbol only” but back to original point. Football Australia and rugby Australia could work on a bigger and larger proposal where...

There’s a huge push going on here in Brisbane for the ROAR to get a multi million dollar upgrade of Perry Park. whilst I do enjoy watching football/soccer I find these fans to be unreasonable of the sporting landscape… yes they are a world game, but so is rugby to a extent. the world games...

my apologies.. it might not be scholarship but rather a Bond/UQ player academy (which probably has access to scholarship) but someone involved at the clubs might be able to clarify

Bond & UQ have scholarships for emerging talent. But I believe the UQ scholarship isn’t UQ specific - it maybe offered to players at other clubs? Unsure exactly of requirements but I do remember reading press releases previously.

You think GPS & Bond are doing that for their rebels mercanaries they bringing up on weekends as well?

Phil I saw your comment in the reds thread where you speculating a talent drain this season? I reckon first part of year quality of football might be less but the back end is going to be super charged imo… I would expect we will see all the Australia a players who were held out last year for a...

The rain we’ve had last couple days going to have the fields looking mint come round 1. Any clubs out there doing offseason upgrades? (2023 = GPS new clubhouse, Easts new grandstand) How long until the brothers project commences?

Heaps of Red cards for forwards - they’ll need to learn their lesson about aiming for the sternum

Anyone seen any 2024 QPR betting markets yet? I imagine 2 factors have been addressed that would allow preliminary markets to open all coaching vacancies announced schedule has been released (betting agencies now in a position to make educated guess about rep players returning to 3rd tier...

Justin Harrison is better in studio guy then colour commentary to the game. I’ve mentioned it before but his insights into a game are too slow for his pace of the game. We don’t care about your commentary on the last lineout Justin when the ball has already moved hands by hands and is now on the...

Retired lol… Think I saw him playing 3rd grade recently - may even won a title for the tigers. (Don’t think it was this year but probably last year)

Ok well a worthy dream team then… I’m with you Phil Clinton… Matt Brandon makes my qpr team of the decade.

Also I hope the QPR/Souths is able to reward doubles with a trophy or award of some sort… a great servant of the game… is there any teams Souths play that don’t yet have a trophy up for grabs?

That a good team don’t mean to be nit picky though about some of the selections Tim Buchanan at start of decade and Seru Uru on the back end of decade… they must of really put in a good year or 2 to catch Heenan eye to get in the mixer of a team of the decade list Who are the other good locks...

Every player that missed out on World Cup should absolutely be given a fresh start with the new wallabies coach…. HOWEVER. Something needs to be done re: the giteau law, it’s unproductive for the Nation. I am happy to bring these greener grass chasers back in World Cup years / but if you come...

Schedule is out… the much anticipated bond vs UQ game is last week of round 1 and last week of regular season in round 2

No big loss IMO. GPS has always had high calibre depth in their front row stocks I rate the big long blond haired prop they had down their last year - Jon Downes? I assume he’s on the younger side with his best days ahead of him.
