Thorn would be good for 12 months maybe but isn't going to be a solution to the major problem. We need a back rower around his size who is damaging with ball in hand and when he hits guys in defence. Lock is an area where we are covered with McDulling and Enever. Sign Thorn and at least one of...

They are playing one game in Sydney and the other games in Dubbo, Orange and Lismore. A few other locations have expressed an interest in hosting games in 2015.

Or just make Aust 20's our second team. Australia A never play any games so it wouldn't have a huge effect on that team. Wales A are their second team so it's not like it doesn't happen. I guess part of the issue is that we end up with players from other countries U20's being capped for us and...

McIntyre was very good for Aut 20's and has pushed Mitch Third out of the Sunnybank Premier team. Mitch has been fantastic this season. Also if Greene was picked up what would Filth have to complain about?

I think they'll want Carter and McCaw to play. Other than that you could pick a second string NZ team and argue that it was a top side, such is their depth.

This is what I find interesting. Everyone in Brisbane raves about Greene as he has gone well for Wests last year and Brothers this year. McIntyre has been selected over Greene repetitively for higher honors so it will be interesting who the Reds are interested in.

I signed my kids up to the Rookies to Reds program and they received their packs in the mail yesterday including their membership cards. I guess if you are running this program aggressively across the state then the membership numbers will have a significant jump.

Filth the luck and whatnot that you talk about are the little things that coaches enforce in the training field so the players can do it in the game. The standards have dropped at Ballymore this year and they need to be raised again. Cheika has gone into the Tah's and raised the bar on what he...

If we are all making wishes here I'd like GPS to beat Uni by more than 7 but not score 4 tries and for Easts and Brothers to have a low scoring draw. That will hope fully have the Dragons 2 points off top spot after the weekend.

Brisbane City will also wear Blue and Gold. It looks like there will be plenty of yellow/gold in the NRC.

I think there will be a bit more information about next week when a few of the Super teams are out of action and the Tah's have a bye. Brett McKay has done some good stuff on the Roar about the teams. I think the issue around the draw is working out TV games and grounds. I'd say they have a...

Where are they going to get the players from though Rat? Wests Prem Reserve and Perm Colts are both on the bottom of the table. It's not like there would be to many players pushing to be selected. I guess the coaches thought mixing things up might help the team out, obviously it didn't. Wests...

A guy like Ben Adams would fit in the country team. From Mackay and was schooled at IGS. The players below would also fit into a country team. Jake McIntyre is from Alstonville in Northern NSW Brendan Mitchell if from the Sunny Coast Lolo Fakaosilea is from Clermont

Over half the Sunnybank team would be of Country Origin, depending if the class the Tapuai's as being from the coast, where they went to school, or Melbourne.

From my reading of the above it is a case of place of birth and Junior Club coming before senior rugby so those guys from the bush will be selected in the country team. I think they haven't come out with anything concrete as they need some flexibility in the system. If the two best 9 were both...

It's ok guys. This guy will save us. http://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/super-rugby/video-backflipping-james-oconnor-dons-budgie-smugglers-to-promote-beach-party-in-toulon/story-e6frf4qu-1226981609022

From what I hear there are still a few more current Reds players who will be saying goodbye to Ballymore at the end of the season. The sources are third hand so can't vouch for how reliable they are.

Is he involved in the EPS? I didn't think he was. Also I thought the rule was the must play Premier. If that is the case it takes in Prem Colts and Prem reserve too. From what I saw on Saturday he was a liability as was targeted a bit by the Dragons forwards.

So looking at players for the team it will be interesting to see how they split them. A few Sunnybank players who I think will get a look in from the City selectors will be Sam Rochester, Henry Tafu and Peter Lee. Sean O'Çonnor has been doing really well as 9 so he might be a chance too. i think...

I'm not blindly having faith in Graham. It's just if he is to be the coach in 2015 then it's his time to stand up and make some changes. He has everything to win and loose. If he has a bad year in 2015 I can't see any club looking to pick him up in the future.
