When you think about it , Piasami only got his chance this year with the Reds after Petaia’s injury . His rise from where he was at the start of the season when Thorn was nominating him as a player to watch , to the starting #12 for the Wallabies has been phenomenal. Yes , again , he did get...

Thought it was a bit of chat thrown Lucas’ way when I saw it this morning. It’s still the top comment with 50 something likes , so guess people are seeing the fun in it .

Kalani was with the squad over COVID , same as Grealy . You would think they would be in the mix over the next few seasons .

^ glad it gave you something to smile about on the day Bulldog .

Absolutely they do , but something is going wrong there . Only two Colts teams this year and neither were competitive. What do Marist play down to in the AIC ? Something like a 6th XV maybe ? First year of Colts being U20’s and GPS can only field two teams . That doesn’t look great for...

Agree GPS need to work on their Colts program and stop parachuting players into 1st grade . They have a fantastic nursery up on the hill and need to réengage this progression from Colts to Grades . Easts will be fine with the depth they showed taking out 1/2&3’s , but if you took away their...

Agree on height at Super level, but Vest is a deceptively big body. He is similar dimensions to ASY (Angus Scott-Young), maybe slightly taller. His lineout work this season was very good, great under a re start and in contact both in defence and with the ball in hand. Plays pretty tight and clever. He started a...

Conor Vest was the best non Red lock running around in QPR this year . He moved up from playing SS for Norths . With the Tahs very light on for locks I’m a bit surprised they haven’t asked him back .

On recent form it will be Brothers .

^Yep , preseason with the Academy/ greater training squad and then back to clubland come February with maybe just skills/ position specific session back with the Academy on a Wednesday once QPR kicks off. They get the physical development of a pro setup and the rugby development of playing...

There’s a limit to how many young lads you can sign , at the end of the day you really only sign the one you absolutely don’t want to lose. Think the rest are best served developing their games in QPR or the like. The big loss in my mind is the reduction to the Academy systems . The...

Albert , Hooper and Pollard all played Australian U18’s last year and originally from the Waratahs junior pathways . Albert a 9 , Hooper a big bodied lock and Pollard a #2 who runs and tackles like a league backrower . Reimer played Aussie Schools 2018 as a backrower , also from NSW , played...

$13 for a straight out win on the Argies , which before the game most would have considered a little on the conservative side.

They won back to back U20 RWC’s in 2018/19 , that group should be coming along nicely by 2023 and it’s in France.

Think we will see a lot more doom and gloom from the News Ltd papers and the reporting being pushed further back from the back page. They must think rugby fans are all halfwit morons that believe anything if it’s printed in the paper. Interesting that Wayne Smith isn’t involved with the...

After watching Origin last night , I’m happy that rugby has taken the position of player safety being paramount. I’d rather be arguing about whether we’ve gone too far than how ridiculous how little is done to protect player welfare. It didn’t take long , at the 2 minute mark Munster gets...

I know you don’t pick your 10 for their defensive work rate , but how good was it to have a 10 defending the 10/12 corridor and doing it well ? The whole backline looked better connected .

Try a piece at the moment, three 30 minute thirds with an extended bench and unlimited subs . Mark N (Nawaqanitawase)’s poor defence already evident.

Great to see Gorgeous George rewarded for a fantastic season of QPR. Easts’ front row was completely dominant over all comers . Wouldn’t be too surprised if his front row partner in Rhys Van Rek gets a go soon as well. He is on his way to the Rebels next year .

Yep agree . Was more asking if there has been any movement on this ? The state academies would normally be back in preseason by the end of November and the first national camp is normally called early in the new year . Unlikely to be a full scale U20 RWC next year , but hopefully games...
