Henry seems to be getting better and better each week. Deserves a shot at a higher level.

Both teams will be based at Ballymore. The talk is that the country team will play out of regional centres. Gold Coast, Toowomba, Rocky and Townsville/Cairns would be the locations I would guess.

I think they will come out and have a look. I'm not expecting them to sell out stadiums but they should be able to get 2K supporters in. Even if they gave free tickets to junior players who come with an adult.

Does this now mean that all Brothers and Norths players are eligible for the Country NRC team?

They select the Randwick team and any Eastwood players who have visited a country area.

I don't see any benefit in having a Qld Country team that gets smashed by every other team. Better to have a team that is competitive and people can get behind. Greg Holmes has lived in Brisbane for around 10 years but I'm pretty sure he's be identified as a country guy. There are plenty of...

Well done QRU. It's good to finally have some news on the comp. With the short turn around in applications I'm guessing we'll have more news in the not to distant future. A draw would be great too. Like DB I'm a fan of the jerseys. They are simple but work, much better than the East Coast Aces...

It would be nice to know sooner rather than later.

It's a great position to be in but also one that has to be managed. Mitch has developed really well this year and you don't want to make him feel like he is being dropped. They played McIntyre off the bench against Norths and that worked quite well but that was a one off and he is too classy not...

Are you playing Reg?

A manager who actually does his job I would suggest.

after the weekend you'd think the Reds are a good shot against a disappointing Force. They could end up higher on the table depending on results of the other games.

Not sure it's official as they don't quote anyone and the Reds have not confirmed it. Seems like a done deal though.

It will depend on the QRU. If they let the Reds players play Premier Rugby then the team line ups will no doubt change. it the players are required to take time off then it will cause some issues as you'd be loath to change a winning line up going into the finals.

I don't think they are dead yet but I think they will have to win every game to make the finals. They play 3 teams above them on the ladder in the next 3 weeks so they can catch up.

I'd say a loss by Easts this weekend could rule them out TT. If they don't get a point and other teams pick up 5 they will be 12 points out of the 4. Personally I'd like them to win as it would increase the chances of the Dragons finishing in the top 2.

The issue with Lolo will be who he would kick out of the Sunnybank Premier squad. They have been playing with 5 backrowers (using them as locks) and it has worked really well for them. Lolo could play Prem Colts and then come off the bench in premier. Not say that it will happen but it is an option.

When are you being announced as the Captain of the Brisbane team Reg? Sorting out the contract still?

He's been playing club footy for Sunnybank

Some of the teams have a draw and an idea around structure. The Sydney teams seem to have progressed well. All we know in QLD is that Stiles and Meehan will coach the teams. It would be great if they could come out with some more info. The ARU should release a full draw so we have an idea of...
