This was TJP on 6 July 2018 This is clearly the hurdle that South's need to overcome if they are to be successful with either appeal - the "real" news is that neither players was registered with Souths 6 weeks prior to the commencement of the finals. In Paice 's case only 3/4 weeks and...

Really Penguin - is this factual or is this fake news?

The rules are in place to ensure that clubs just can't go out and fly in professional players from around the globe to play finals footy. The rule are the rules and I am sure that the committee will enforce them.

In the Chisholm case probably no different (Chisholm did start some games for Wests in 2017 but my understanding is that Paice sat on the bench for the first time last week) but the Karmichael case that's a whole different ball game. I don't want to start another Ian Cameron tirade but in the...

I'd be be aggrieved if I was one of the club's still alive in QPR if Paice & Hunt are cleared to play. Souths like all other 8 clubs knew the rules going into the competition but want to be granted special consideration. Not only should justice be done but it needs to be seen to be done. It...

I've heard that South's have also put in for dispensation for Karmichael Hunt - what do people think about that?

Fear not I would be very surprise if South get a dispensation for Paice given the recent precedents of Chisholm (Wests '17) & Hegarty(GPS) in 2013. I think the other clubs in the competition would be rightly aggrieved - it's a bit rich for South to play the player safety issue again this time...

I think Uni have set themselves apart from the other 3 still in it. I won't call it yet but they have to be strongly favoured to pull off a grand slam: - Bunter Bowl; (tick) - Welsby Cup; (tick) - Horsley trophy (Minor Premiership); (tick) - Hospitals Cup (??)

They should play a game against the Force in Perth.

Absolutely and with no Waratahs and other certainties who will be rested - that means a lot of super rugby player not currently in the squad who will be called upon for a glorified training run - if Cheicka doesn't know who the best 30 players in Australia are by now we have no hope getting the...

I heard on the radio (Station 882) today that the Wallabies (less the Waratahs) are having a possibles v probables game at Leichardt Oval next Friday 3 August - so you can count out any members of the current train-on squad running around in QPR this weekend and next. Mind you some of them...

I think the guys who aren't in line for a test spot will be sent back to clubland this weekend. Remember the Waratahs aren't in camp yet due to S15 finals.

It is going to be interesting to see how many Reds turn out for their clubs this weekend. That could well have an impact on predictions and outcomes. Great that Duncan P has run out for Norths over the last two rounds. Moses Sorovi really brought some effort into the Bulldogs when he was...

Interesting to see Ed O'Donoghue on the Shark Tank this evening with his "healthy" ice-cream business. I am sure it will be on offer at Wests in the not too distant future!!

Sorry didn't know Souths had used a Bunter Bowl challenge. I think though that as the 2017 premiers Uni were issued the Bunter Bowl, they defended it against Easts in round 1 with a 29-27 win but then conceded it to Bond in round 3 with a 19-20 loss. I think Easts then took it off Bond, Easts...

Anyhow stepping away from that, there are some cracking games this weekend: Souths v Uni (Welsby Cup & Bunter Bowl); GPS v Easts; Norths v Bond; Wests v Brothers (Pilecki-Shaw Trophy). Not to mention finals breakdown - the table heading into this weekend is incredibly close: Uni 53 points...

I don't think I am Happyman - the two tackles I am referring to are both the same Souths player. There is just a subsequent more sinister tackle involved in the play following the Norths example. I was referring to the following tackles in which it would appear that there is direct high...

The problem is that there is no consistency in the decisions or the individual involved in the citing process and they are usually outside the QPR jurisdiction (even In the UK). The photo of the Fonz looks pretty damning you would think particularly as it was off the ball. But I think you...

Where is Alex Horan this year?

Should be lots of Reds next week!!!
