I think it shows little respect for the rugby community to charge entry to the finals. At the preliminary finals there were more people in the ticket booth and security than there was watching the earlier games! The staffing bill for an hour would have been $1,000/$1,500 and they weren't...

We all know that this won't be the path taken but in the context of the cricket & NRL pay disputes where providing money for grass roots was one of the issues on the table - I ask what can be done for grassroots rugby?

Sorry SX for starting that. Look I don't for one minute deny the great contribution that Bond has made to Qld/Aust rugby its just that I don't think they themselves would mind if their club side was not such a loss ($$) leader. Bond Uni would probably be happy enough with the NRC, the Aust...

Leave Toowoomba out then and have GC clubs, Bond, Logan & Ipswich. There you go take that off to the next QRU board meeting and get it signed off. It can be SEQ premier rugby and we can then have a South West Qld (SWQ) premier rugby based on the existing Toowoomba comp. Have a NQ premier...

How so I am saying that the club's playing in the GC Comp are the base of SEQ Premier Rugby then add in Bond, Logan, Ipswich, Toowoomba. That way you are lifting up the GC clubs and then giving guys from Logan, Ipswich, Toowoomba an opportunity to play a higher standard rugby week to week. I...

Look as much as it hurts them at Logan - they just haven't shown that they can step up into QPR. When Sunnybank made the step up back in the 1980's they played/dominated the reserve grade comp for a year or two before being admitted into the first grade ranks. It is not as if the Logan side...

Who was In the 1996 GPS side? Can anyone name the side I think the nucleus of the side was: McLean, Matt Cockbain, Muppet Murray, Dan Herbert, Ben Tune? And I think Pete Murray was on the bench. Coach was Tony D'Arcy.

Gee it is quiet I understand that GB, Filth, SX & I have gone to ground with our seasons over but I am surprised that we haven't had more chirp from Yoku Rd. Can the Gallopers break their 21 year drought?

What a game the Premier Reserves Major Semi must have been yesterday. Sunnybank lead 31-0 at half time, then GPS hit the front 42-38 before Sunnybank scored late for a 45-42 thrilling victory. Reserve grade finals keep throwing up classics. Could Filth or someone from Brothers confirm my...

Just gutted. But as SX said what a ride 2017 was for a Bulldog fan!! Fantastic effort and they played so well for so much of yesterday's game but that's footy I suppose. We just have to hope that the Prem Colts can rally and get another shot against Bros in the GF but having had a few boys...

Being the great GPS man that he is I wouldn't be surprised if Pickle offers to start on the bench.

Sentiment and good looks shouldn't come into play - I wouldn't be playing anyone but AJ at #10. Maybe Frisby or Tuttle have to come off the bench. Anyhow it's a decision for Matho to make. Frisby is a very dangerous #9 at club level provided he doesn't over play his hand.

The Sunnybank halfback has been very impressive this year - best #9 in the comp I recon. I think Uni possibly has the best backs & GPS the best forwards then Sunnybank & Wests better balanced sides but probably would say that their strength is both in the backline. Makes for an interesting...

Wests will just keep doing their low flight directory in the finals - keep flying under the radar Doggies!!!

I'd like to light the fuse on the finals series and say that despite GPS win over Uni I am more concerned with Uni & Snbk going into the finals. Why because I believe that GPS are a bit like the Qld Sheffield Shield team before they won their first title. Wonderful supportive fans but always...

Each event has to be sanctioned by the QRU/ARU it's just that both tournaments have been sanctioned for the same day - surely a bit of coordination to run over 6 weeks would be best for all concerned.

I appreciate that this is club 7s but I hear that both Easts & Brothers have 7s tournaments set down for the same day in late September - that seems crazy to me -?come on lads sort that one out between yourselves - surely it is in neither clubs best interest to host them both on the same day.

I am nearly ready to call it. Wests 35 Easts 30 Scenario for Wests to miss the 4: Easts d GPS with a BP (a tough ask for the Tigers); AND Norths beat Wests by >7 points (I.e. Wests no BP). I will call it - I think Wests are home!!

Yes great to see Tongan Thor getting selected in the Wallaby squad. Nice to see other QPR players in Magnay, Rodda & Perese also selected.
