The second half of the UQ v Norths game was blank for all but the final 5 or so minutes.

Hearing Paisami has a fractured jaw and eye socket from clipping Timani’s head during TK’s hit on him in Perth . Minimum 8 week injury . It wasn’t TK’s shoulder that rocked him , it was Timani’s head. So who plays 13 in the GF?

Well , didn’t see that happening! So much for the starts............ Well done Souths !

The bit that concerned me about the decision was it seemed like it was the result of a round table discussion rather than the captain’s call. There were quite a few being vocal about what to do , none more so than Thomas who was gesturing for the scrum as soon as the penalty was awarded. Maybe...

Case by case for me. The Gordon’s are Wests juniors , went to school at BBC which is about 1km down the road from Wests , so makes sense they have a run in QPR when not in Melbourne. Would imagine the local comp down there wouldn’t give them the same level competition as either QPR or SS...

Reckon it’s his jaw , not a head knock . He clipped the head of Timani on the way through, ran off checking his teeth .

Damon Murphy is not a Super Rugby standard ref, he actually shits me at QPR level. For a former player he shows very little rugby IQ.

Hi Jets , Might be just me , but Microsoft isn’t letting me log in with a personal email account , saying I need either a school or work address, as in nomad@suchandsuch.com . Anyway if it’s just me , no big deal. The points start make it very interesting, think I would back all the...

Great to see Carter Gordon potentially get a crack off the bench. Bit strange that they’ve left if to the biggest game of the season to give him a go, all or nothing I guess?

When Mark Ella was the 10 for the Wallabies during the Grand Slam Tour of ‘84 they said that if he got a second touch of the ball in the same play it normally lead to a Wallabies line break or try and if he managed to get third he scored himself . It’s all about staying alive in the play and...

Watched the game with my three rugby playing sons and they all picked up on the Brumbies joining the maul in front of the ball carrier. An early driving maul try that was overturned by the TMO, I thought thankfully they’ve picked up on that offside bind, but no , just a knock on . If anyone...

There you go Jono Kent........

Not sure , but that’s where he is named this weekend and as I mentioned , the chance to play 10 was the main driver in his decision to move to Wests.

Jono Kent was on the podcast , he has moved from GPS to get a crack at 10. This weekend Mason Gordon is playing 15 with Kent at 10, which pricked my interest. Could easily be reversed in future and Kent moves clubs to play the same position?

Listened to the latest episode of The Rugby Collective on the way to work this morning. They mentioned roughly 20 from the greater Reds’ squad playing QPR this weekend. Interestingly, Kalani Thomas to make his first grade debut having already played Super. Liam Wright, Uru and Asiata back...

And Petaia and Vunivalu.......

Sunnybank went close to knocking off a couple of the top teams last year , hopefully building into a team that will challenge for the top 4 . Always better for the comp as a whole for games to be genuinely competitive.

There was definitely a lot of emotion shown by the players after the win on Saturday, great to see it means so much to them. It’s reciprocated by the fans with a season high crowd and as Thorn mentioned after the game , how many of them stuck around after the game had ended. Think Thorn used...

Jake Pappin for the 10 spot . He carved up playing there in the Colts 1 GF last year and was starting 10 for the Reds’ U18 Academy side in 2019 in both games they played.

No , he captained the U18s in 2019 over in NZ to an undefeated tour. He will be in the mix with the U20’s this year if the proposed comp in July against NZ and Fiji gets off the ground . EDIT : sorry slow typer , beat me to it TSR
