Would imagine the CM would know that they might get some heat over the article and yet it was still published. It’s only an issue for them legally if what they have reported is incorrect. Will be interesting to see if BBC are prepared to open the books to prove otherwise. Just saying......

Thought the article would kick off a discussion. The author obviously has BBC and the overseeing board in her crosshairs, but if the numbers being thrown around are correct , then WOW..... More than half the year 12 cohort being on sporting scholarships places a fair strain on the remaining...

Our teams will get there . The Force, who were thought of as also rans, were a kick away from beating the team that finished second in NZ. The Brumbies got close in Christchurch, which is more than you can say about a lot of good rugby teams. Sadly the Reds were shit , but that’s a look in...

Hopefully having a run for Sunnybank , they could do with his presence. Would be a nice back up for the Reds. Fraser is killing it , and Wright a very handy 7 , but strife after that , the rest are back rowers not 7’s

He is all over the place , think even the Kiwi commentators are starting to feel a little awkward about it . As typing this my two rugby playing sons have commented “ what is this ref doing? “

Just a heads up for those yet to put their tips in, I’m taking UQ with the 3.5pts start over GPS. Haven’t backed UQ yet this season with the points start that their opponents have been given , meaning I’m 0/6 for the UQ games so far. Tipping with your head obviously overrated! I’ve picked...

Will be interesting to see if he’s back for the rest of the season , or just coming back through QPR from his injury lay-off. Don’t think he has played since he picked up an injury coming off the bench for the Rebels in the early rounds of Super AU.

Was chatting to a few mates this morning about how the Reds handled the aftermath of their GF win over the Brumbies. Maybe too long a leash on the celebrations ? Get the feeling the lacklustre effort against the Highlanders has not only affected their chances of finishing top two , but also...

Reg , Nonggorr was assisted from the field last weekend at St Lucia with what looked like an ankle injury. Would be surprised if he is good to play.

Highlights just how impressive UQ’s last 10 years under Mick Heenan have been. Also love the fact so many lower grade players from all clubs still stick around and make a day of it on a Saturday. The amount of grade players still at the grounds sinking cans when First Grade and then the girls’...

His missed clean out over Stewart , who was admittedly crabbing sideways and doing a great job of getting himself isolated, was his biggest miss. His cleans need to be a lot more accurate and effective.

The way Easts are travelling, don’t think wins over Souths and Norths are a given , yet alone bonus point wins. Has the defending premiers ever had a 0/6 start to the season in QPR? Even 2nd Grade isn’t the same dominant force it was last season with a 3/6 start to their season.

The Donaldson and Harrison battle for 10 is a good problem for the Tahs, Gordon the real deal at 9 .

Agree about picking your best team, but Flook was not our worst. Made a heap of clutch tackles and was involved in more attacking rucks than most of our forwards. The biggest disappointment for me in the backline was Stewart not passing twice in the first half with a numbers advantage outside...

He was slow to get up because he nearly knocked himself out attempting a tackle in the latter part of the first half. He failed his HIA at halftime maybe? If anything, thought the Reds looked rusty, that’s their third game, including two losses , in five weeks.

Couple of things stood out for me . Firstly we need to select our best team possible for every game . Secondly , how different the reffing interpretations were . The Highlander scrum chased the engagement all game , off side and side entry that were heavily policed previously were rarely...

Yeah don’t think UQ would be too put out by not having to “fit” Thomas into the starting team tomorrow at St Lucia. I actually feel for the lad , gets elevated into the squad last year due to COVID , has played next to no rugby since finishing school due to the bubble and yet he gets a start...

Funny thing is anything from John Denver or Neil Diamond gets the crowd amped , but my kids think my taste in music sucks !

Who is likely to be missing from the club lineups this weekend? Looks like the Reds have taken an extended squad over the ditch , plus there is a Junior Wallaby camp on in Canberra.

It’s a win for both parties. Rugby was stagnant/ going backwards for years in the Australian market for largely a subscription only audience. The FTA part of the deal with the cross marketing between Stan and Nine ( plus associated papers ) has rugby way more visible than its been in years ...
