Who the fuck is Duncan Paia-aua? Big Ed another contract? Really? He was horrible this year. Is Tui the big international back rower they were talking about? Anyone know much about him? Length of JOC (James O'Connor) & Hunts contracts is promising! Ready & Lolo deserve the call up, well done. No Lucas...

You nailed it. He would've been perfect for the Reds.

The 3 point conversion is going to create way more problems than needed. Personally I would have thought if you're trying to reward tries you up the value of a try being scored? Put Tries to 6, Conv to 2 and either leave penalties at 3(need 2 to make up the same as a try) or change that to 2 if...

One of the stand outs, if not THE stand out, for me was Connor Mitchell. He was incredible in the first half and very solid in the second. You'd have to think he was the smallest forward out there yet he made huge contributions all round the park, including being a massive pest at the breakdown...

The problem with having a high representation throughout the grades in the semi finals is that often they don't get the prize at the end, or even make it to the GF! Due obviously to opposition teams being bolstered by players who can drop down from higher teams which which didn't make the...

I've heard from a number of boys in the squad that 15/16 players are leaving. If that figure is accurate then it's certainly not good. Having watched Butler over the past month or so has made me realise what a big loss he is. Reckon he will continue to develop into a very good loosie. Thinking...

Wasn't he being used as a winger this year? I'm not sure how he would go at super level as a backrower.... seemed all flash and no dirty work from memory?

With the season gone now is the time to look to the future and blood a couple of players / give them some experience. They can't go much worse than the rest of them have over the past month. The 23 I'd be keen on seeing this weekend is: 1. Holmes 2. Hanson 3. Owen 4. Simmons 5. Horwill 6...

Agreed. I hope he gets a shot at the next level soon. Surely a better option on the bench than Big Ed this year and moving forward. Filth V. Heavies clash of the young 10s will be exciting in a couple of weeks. Greene v Dalgilsh... no doubt this will be determined by which pack comes out on...

I thought McDuling was extremely good on the weekend. Dominant in everything he did, ball carries, tackles, ruck involvements and pilfers. His best game since 2011 when he won club player of the year. Hopefully he has found some confidence after 2 knee recons in the past 2 years. Unlike a...

Pretty excited about this match. As a few have alluded to it could be ruled by the ref and perhaps a "trench warfare" type aussie derby. If it opens up a bit the selection of Smith at 13 and Toua at 15 could be crucial (would have liked to see CFS at 13). The acceleration, speed and all round...

Might have to start its own thread Jets.... we will probably have to hire some full time administrators it'll be soo popular. If I remember the rude kit properly the national holiday will be "talk like a Pirate/dress like dyslectic japanese schoolgirl day" .... shall be a worldwide day of...

I just had a quick squiz on the website (which has changed) and I can't find the AGM link, it'll be there somewhere... just not sure where it has been moved to. Refer Cat's comment "The club has had public (and publicised - see website, but look for the archived copy) AGMs for at least the last...

You disagree on what basis mate? Chatter? You may want some better evidence to back up your statements than that. UQ supporters acknowledge the "elephant in the room"... but as it turns out there is no substance to the constant claims. And if you think the UQ supporters on here are your average...

Just replying to the questions/statements Jets! Any superstar colts at the Bank we need to keep our eyes on this year?

Mate you can't put it down to one or two things. I think the club is different things to different people and it appeals to all types of rugby players/coaches/managers/supporters. It's a surprisingly diverse group for what you would expect from a University club. There is a VERY strong "Club...

Is it that time of the year already? The biannual "UQ is more successful than (insert club here) so they must be doing something underhanded" accusations are upon us! My how time flies. I guess this means the "Sunnybank are cheats because they made smart business decisions and invested in their...

My 2c in response to the argument about Cooper giving way to someone else on the bench: most people seem to be saying that Cooper isn't outplaying To'omua in his 20 mins. But has To'omua really played better than Cooper in his first 2 tests? It seems to me they're both pretty much on par (bearing...

Dave McDuling is back in actions now... he is an exceptional player and has a huge on/off field presence at the club. I'd expect a big last few rounds and finals from him once he has complete confidence back in those knees of his. Also young Sam Rieser is back in action as well. Curtis Browning...

Assuming they take a 3rd hooker? Who the hell knows. McDuling will be back without a doubt.
