That’s his uncle not his father Good pick up at the dragons

Cheers that’s why I made an assumption. The assumption that ppl from Herbert era valued club rugby and would turn out for club on Saturday cause they played for Queensland on a Tuesday/wednesay Phil was from that cutover period of ameteur to professional where provincial rugby wasn’t played...

Well there is a Segway here Phil and it’s now having 2 people in charge who know what club rugby is about. The 1 silver lining is Herbert probably played a ton of it (ameteur) compared to Phil (who probably saw the paddock at Sydney Uni maybe no more then 5 appearances total over his career <~...

Agree Bulldog… had I known last week it was Daniel Herbert promoted to chairman - I would have just stayed with Hamish McLennan personally. The games leadership has never been weaker having 2 former players in important roles

QPR not giving up any teams. Matter of fact I think expansion is on cards before subtraction. Whether that’s a new club being promoted to Brisbane ranks or something with centralisation (Melbourne rebels A) etc Norths and Sunnybank should see better results in premiers grade this season. The...

Had a look at the sevens teams recently and didn’t notice any offseason defectors What was noticeable is what happened to Sunnybank? 10 years ago they would of been a powerhouse of club rugby 7s program..: they didn’t even have a team in the qpr sevens circuit…. I really hope they have a big...

24 rounds of super rugby is way too much. Rather investigate the NRC rebirth or club rugby on steroids.

It was a World Cup year. Brad Thorn was a great champion of reds players going back to clubland and I believe Les Kiss will follow suit. But the powers that be at rugby Australia will pull resources and put them in cotton wool if they need to protect depth during the lead up to the WorldCup

No Astro turf pls… my fantasy football team (NFL) is littered with players who have suffered season ending injuries on this toxic surface. Rugby is meant to played on grass or in mud.

Looking forward to Heenan back in qpr. I think there’s a lot of parity in the comp atm but Mick back at the helm at one of the contenders, surely they’ll be competition favourites in 2024 considering they won the minor premiership?

[ That would be his nephew Taine, he is a member of the reds. Unsure of his club allegiance status. He left Wests the year before Rob got the job at Sunnybank and headed over to easts. I assume he is still an east boy but unsure, Taine had ACL tear late last year or early this year so he...

What are you hearing bulldog?

Unsure why there’d be a change in coaching staff? They just got new one in place this year. Preseason usually kicks off in Nov/dec so any player movements will be coming to light in coming weeks

Weird take, why would you want this?

Lot of decisions how to deal with Eddie involve fantasy money… I’d rather pay another top player than keep Eddie on the books whilst bringing in a new coach to take over wallabies

I thought some of our best rugby was in those Bledisloe games. Obviously I can only make that comment on 40 mins of rugby where as a rugby game goes for 80 mins.

Well in regards to Lynagh - he was playing colts and dropped straight into super rugby… I personally think he was rushed. Only thing he looked good was his kicking…. A bit of qpr rugby could do Tom some good as well

Don’t think Im writing off Lynagh but more to do with the season that HMP just had. - Just because someone has played more games or is older doesn’t mean they are better. HMP is the talent and everyone talking about whilst not much going on with lynagh because of his health. Anyways I’ve...

I think HMP is in line for the 10 jersey. Hard to justify Lynagh being the guy considering how little football he plays. HMP has had a really good 2023 season.
