Giving credit where credit is due the QRU have done NRC quite well & that resulted in Bne City winning the first two titles, with sides that contained large numbers of QPR players. The problem with the NRC is that there is just no sense/justification of allegiance/tribalism towards the two QLD...

Reg there were more security & gate staff at Ballymore early on the Saturday's during the finals than there were spectators - you don't have to be a genius to realise that the QRU were paying more per hour for the staff than they were getting through the gate takings. That's my beef why charge...

But Reg not all club games during the year are played at Ballymore and you have to pay to watch Colts 3 semi finals at Ballymore?? It just so happens that Bne v Fiji is played 2 weeks after the GFs where spectators were charge entry on the Saturday (lower grades) - I just don't understand why...

Just saw that entry to NRC games at Ballymore is free. One wonders why entry to QPR & lower grades finals aren't likewise free?

I think the Tiger's claim Ben Mowen (former Wallaby captain) as one of their's despite the fact that he was a Brumbie at the time he played for the Wallabies. Which is fair enough given he played for the Tigers as did his father(Sean) & his younger brother still runs around in the Reggies (I...

Another QPR player ascends to the Wallabies ranks - Izack Rodda has been selected on the bench - but I suspect he'll have his work cut out when/if he gets on the pitch. Good luck to the young former IGS lad. http://www.theroar.com.au/2017/08/25/adam-coleman-ruled-bledisloe-cup-2/

I'd rather they chase some of the Kiwi boys who played Prem Colts this year - they would be much better value.

It would need to be cleared by Mr Cordingley wouldn't it!!!!!! I heard when they first arrived in Brisbane that Johnny Tupou (JT) through the Tongan connections had them all lined up with jobs/accom to play with the Tigers but then all of sudden Cordingley got involved and said they just liked...

Thanks

Is Jarrad Butler injured - wouldn't he be your #7?

Handling errors was somethings like GPS 13 Uni 5. That was the decisive stat for me.

This is interesting https://www.facebook.com/thefeedsbsviceland/videos/497392517261126/ We all hope (know) that it will be a great weekend of rugby at Ballymore this weekend, good luck to all involved.

Are GPS going to wear Western Force jerseys on Sunday in honour of the fact that half their side have links to the exiled Perth club!!!!!!!!

Where can you find the Doughty Shield table?

I heard Alan Jones on the radio talking about the Shute Shield final between Manly & Warringah - expected crowd of 10,000 - similar to QPR final. Interesting though he raised a conversation in the last year or two between the Warringah Rats President and Bill Pulver - Pulver apparently said to...

I still think there will be a lot of historical expectation on GPS - don't write off Uni - you only have to look at some of the point scoring damage that the likes of Parker, Pincus possessed in those recent GF clips to appreciate that the current Uni backline will at some stage of the GF cause...

This one might cheer you up Man-w-can

Interested to read recently that Matho said with so many of the Perth guys in the side this GPS side is not burdened by the GPS expectations as were previous sides e.g. 2013 who were Minor Premiers & Welsby Cup winners but lost the big one. It's interesting that both GPS & Uni have had issues...

That's the thing mate it doesn't go to grassroots it goes to propping up the Reds. If there weren't all the Brothers juniors and their families at the GF last year you wouldn't have got 8,000. Maybe Andrew Slack's column from last Sunday hit the nail on the head- people that is real rugby...

It is just another way in which the QRU uses the grass roots goodwill to raise money to prop up a dysfunctional/unprofitable/unsustainable professional rugby operation. Neil Breen asked Cheika on the channel 9 sports show yesterday - why grass roots rugby gets nothing from the ARU but we pay...
