He is developing this skill and agree was mostly a ball runner who looked for opportunities for himself . Towards the back end of the QPR season last year he was creating opportunities for those outside of him . Kai Oates scored a few tries off Mac attracting defenders and offloading...

Mac’s an exciting prospect and his highlights reel is impressive, but would learn a lot from another season in QPR. Has all the skills , needs match time to develop an all round game.

Yeah , until he sorts out his ball security on contact and decision making around the appropriate time to offload, the idea of him possibly isolated behind the first line of attack would not fill many with confidence. Don’t think the high balls would be a problem , more what might happen if...

QRU just recently had their AGM , had a full house , all parties invested. How does it look in Sydney ? Surely the AGM would be a good start ? Reason I’m mentioning this is I have heard only recently that it is the norm to have a low attendance at a NSWRU AGM . Happy to be corrected , just...

Whittaker and Gilmore as co-coaches ? Or does one of them get called HC ? Can’t see how that helps the squad , same input come attack and defence, too late to change the roster. Smells of scapegoat to me . Board needs to take some heat , not pass the buck .

UQ wouldn’t have won a premiership in the last 10 years if you went off trial results .

Think you might be forgetting a little thing called COVID and what it meant to all rugby squads last year. Firstly they went into a strict bubble, no ins and outs based on club form , just the blokes who already had some sort of contract , even if it was just a development one. Secondly ...

Yeah , parachute Harrison into any of the Rebels, Reds or Brumbies and you wouldn’t be having the conversation. The Tah’s pigs are getting owned . He is not getting quality ball and regularly has too few forwards around him as ball running options because of the trouble they are having at...

Bloody COVID!

Also happens to be where the coach lives . Pretty sure the coaching group bar one live on the GC and he lives just over the border.

He’s actually older than McReight, was in the same Churchie team as ASY (Angus Scott-Young) and Wright. They had a pretty handy team over two years when you throw in the likes of Ponga , Sua , Hockings, Mason and Perese.

Like half of that , no way Rodda walks back , had to earn it as well as respect. Hosea will be there , he is developing nicely .

Yes , once the lifter changes his bind on the catcher he is offside and should be a penalty for obstruction, but it’s never checked in the wash up of a try. They’ll check every aspect of the defensive lineout though.

No , I didn’t say he starts by angling in. He and every other THP have their head between the opposing hooker and LHP . He is aiming to separate those two opposing players and as a result de-power their scrum. Once he achieves separation and the THP folds, he no longer had pressure on his...

Downsy has had a rough run with injuries over the past few years . He’s out for this season having had surgery for a hamstring tendon injury in the offseason, won’t be back until next year. Wishing him well in recovery.

QPR season launch to coincide with an U20’s City v Country game at Wests on Wednesday the 7th of April 7.30pm kick off. Nice to have some return to pathways rugby.

Yep , Bond host UQ this weekend.

No , he has to stay bound and keep his feet. Robertson is separated from his hooker and fallen across Tupou, it’s always going to create that angle once the LHP separates.

He’s definitely not thought of as a ball distributor, more a carrier. Might use him to get over the advantage line, he is good in contact.

That’s the space he is aiming for , between LHP and 2 and got the desired result with the LHP folding. The angle in that screenshot is fine.
