Is faulkner any good? I haven't seen/heard anything about him and then suddenly he turns up in the EPS. I read on another thread that he's been injured frequently so the Reds must have massive wraps on him. Can anyone from Easts shed some light on what makes him worthy of the contract?

They should come down to GPS and grab a couple. There were times this year when Prems had two fresh props on the bench as did reggies, first time i've been involved in a club which had too many props. In terms of INs and OUTs that I know of at the moment, GPS will be losing Tighthead Ruan...

I dont have any kids and have been out of school for a while now so i'm not really 'in the know' but with the recent change in QLD schools moving grade 7 to highschool (I think) will that have any effect on the graduating age of children when they finish yr 12? ie will most be graduating when 18...

I think there is some contraversy as to what exactly his eligibilty is. From my understanding Rokobaro and a few other Fijian players participated in the game under the presumption that it was a Juniors game (u/20 I believe) when really it was being classifed by the IRB as an 'A' game. I think a...

Looking at the draw for the Grand Final weekend and University have done very well, contesting premierships in nearly every grade. Brothers on the other hand would have to be disapointed only having 2nd grade playing in a Grand Final. I thought the Filth would actually be a bit stronger this...

Will players be able to be involved in both the Reds academy and the ARU one that is currently being run? It might be tough for blokes to earn a living if they aren't getting paid in the Reds academy, especially if they are expected to be at all the Reds training sessions. Surely some costs...

I reckon they'll give Scott Maloloua the gig, they have already invested a bit of time into him (he played in that Reds scratch match they had against the Hurricanes) and is still very young (18) and raw so can be developed. I don't think form slump is a problem Tigerland, he actually got...

Two great games out at Ballymore, lots has already been said about the Uni win over Brothers but i'll throw in what I saw in the game I was more interested in Sunnybank def GPS. Without trying to put Sunnybank down, they played well and deserved the win, especially being able to hold out the...

I don't neccesarily agree with that statement about the reserves. This weekend on the bench GPS have Matt Blain, Alex Soutar, Pama Fou and Pat Smith. All of those guys would have started more than half the season in the run on side for Premier Grade and are very good players. Yes, Sunnybank have...

I think the rules vary depending on which franchise or association you are contracted with. I know some players this year who had been playing in the French Top 14 (I think thats what its called) and now have contracts back in Australia with various Super Rugby teams but have been playing 2nd...

With Moore and TPN in the Wallabies the word at the club tonight is that Saia may be playing for GPS this weekend which would be a major boost against the Super Rugby front row that Sunnybank will be fielding. Also JP Smith should be back.

Great news for Australian rugby and the Red Heavies then. I'll still tip Brothers though.

Really hard for me not to pick Sunnybank as winner of the whole thing this year, they have got the right players back at the right time and look to be playing well. I think GPS would have faired better against either Uni or Bros but will struggle to get over Sunnybank. Having Saia and DK there...

In yesterday's Gps v Wests game Saia and Samo really stepped up and made a difference. Will be interesting to see how the forwards go in the elimination final next week without them. The Gps backs showed some real class as well but IMO opinion are lacking a proper strike player to break games...

Just thought i'd chime in with a few things about some players being mentioned here. The last I heard Louis Frisby was going to be heading back to league but now i'm hearing rumours he may have given up trying for a pro contract all together. He hurt his shoulder playing for GPS reserve grade...

The Faingaas just said via Twitter that now they will both be playing for GPS on the weekend. Not sure whos position Ant will take yet.

Last time Radike was down at GPS he ended up playing in the 2nd row for a few games and i'm thinking he'll play there at the expense of Toolis (not sure which one of the twins would be there). The backrow has been performing to well to breakup or reshuffle imo. Jono Ellis has been playing well...

Should be a pretty strong forward pack for GPS this weekend, Samo and Saia Fainga'a just declared that they are playing, still no word about Anthony. Any word on whether Wests will have Higginbotham?

I fairly sure its a 6 game maximum for a higher grade and then you become ineligible for lower teams
