Will be interesting to see whether Gorman getting off at judiciary forces any changes to the starting forward pack on the weekend, especially considering how effective Pat O'Connor was. Against Easts who have two big strong locks I would be inclined to start both Gorman and O'Connor, move...

I know he definitely played at GPS for Colts so I can only presume he was there since juniors.

Tigers Tale Jonno Ellis went to School at Marist Ashgrove

As a GPS supporter i'm feeling more confident rather than nervous after yesterday's win, despite the result of the semi final the previous week. I doubt Easts will be able to keep GPS tryless again if Samu plays to his potential. Gorman faces the judiciary tonight I believe but word is the...

Tigers Tale from what ive heard Gorman has a hearing coming up early next week so will obviously miss the game vs Uni and then will be handed a further suspension if needed after the hearing. I don't think McMahon played any games for GPS in 2012. If what the training squads looked like is...

A few Wallabies squad members given leave this week to play for their club sides. Apparently Saia Fainga'a was hoping to be eligible for GPS but considering the lack of fit hookers at the moment Link has told him to take the week off as a precaution. Would have helped out immensly with GPS scrum...

Pat O'Connor has been named at lock to replace the suspended Gorman for GPS. I think this is a good move by GPS as their lineout was really exposed at times on the weekend, even resulting with one of East's tries. They could have moved Donaldson (a backrower) into the second row and started...

Easts definitely played better on the day. Backs were outstanding, especially UJ who I thought kicked very well and took some great options. Forwards a bit outplayed in my opinion, even after Gorman was sent off the GPS boys seemed to get over the advantage line very easily but struggled to...

Cutting Wade some slack, to be fair I think GPS selection of Nathan Nicol at hooker for most of the year was more out of loyalty than ability. Nicol was the incumbent hooker the previous year (and is very solid without being outstanding) and Wade only made a last minute club switch when Mooney...

Cat_A you're correct, Wade didn't really play much rugby this year at GPS as he was used primarily as the bench Prems hooker and I believe played a couple of games of reggies. I think (may be wrong) but he was still involved in the ARU academy setup so obviously the selectors at rep levels...

The way Uni beat GPS a few weeks ago was very clinical and some of the best backs play i've seen from any team this season, they will be very hard to beat especially in a Grand Final should they make it. Hopefully GPS can keep playing well though and will be welcoming back Hegarty and Kerevi...

Should be another cracking day of fixtures down at Yoku against the Bank this weekend to see off the regular season. GPS are having a charity day with the whole club being kitted out in pink and blue socks and prems doing the full pink kit. Prems only need one point from the game to secure the...

After watching GPS go down to Uni on the weekend it was pretty easy to see how much GPS have relied on Samu Kerevi's go forward throughout the season. Word is that they are hoping he'll be right to go in the first week of finals but nothing set in stone. Uni looked very sharp particularily in...

I watch the Broncos a fair bit and whilst I have no doubt Hoffman's ability in attack would be great I question his usefulness with the finer points of playing fullback in union such as positional play etc. I guess with the Reds not having a pure 15 at the moment though its worth a gamble.

I was just about to comment on that Bowside but you beat me to it. Was anyone else aware the Reds were actively chasing him? Not quite sure why he'd move if hes unhappy on the wing at the Bronco's as i'm sure at this stage thats where he'd be stuck playing for the Reds.

Looking forward to a great day of footy down at Yoku Rd with GPS vs Uni. Hopefully the weather is similar to today. Anyone have any team lists for this weekend yet? Last I checked the qru hadnt posted any but might be looking in the wrong spot.

The Tahs signing Jacques Potgeiter for two seasons as a marquee international interests me. Would be interesting to know if he was openly shopped to the other Australian provinces ie the Reds or whether Cheika head hunted him. His style of play (aggressive, line bending runs, hard hitting...

Does anyone know if the policy at the Brumbies is still that players must play at an ACT club? Would be great to have JP & Ruan Smith back in the fold for the finals. The team GPS fielded on the weekend was probably the strongest they have all year (minus Samo and Faingaas) so its good to see...

Great win by GPS yesterday against the filth 48-7. Coming into finals its really looking like a classy backline on the field with Hegarty playing yesterday and apparently Rokobaro coming from the Rebels as well next week.

Im predicting a fairly high scoring affair. Teams have shown this year that it is possible to score points in bunches against the Chiefs and the travel factor for the Brumbies is more likely to cause laziness in defence which will give the Chiefs more opportunities to find holes. Chiefs have...
