Two up and coming props in Rhys Van Rek and Emosi Tuqiri headed Rebels way . Glen Vaihu also on his way back for preseason.

Rod Sieb off to the Brumbies as an assistant coach and Jason Gilmore signed on again with the Tahs. Where does this leave the Academies on a state and national level?

Rhys plays THP now , played hooker at school and U20’s . He also throws in the lineout , which he did yesterday and most of the season. Not a bad skill set to have , sadly signed to the Rebels next year . He certainly hit more targets yesterday than Nasser did .

Rhys Van Nek off to the Rebels along with Emosi Tuqiri from Jeeps. Rhys was a massive part of their scrum dominance yesterday , around the park thought the forward packs were quite evenly matched . Scrum time Easts dominated , Rhys also threw the lineout , which he did a lot more accurately...

Bulldog , just a few fact checks for you . Taylor Bridge Rugby Club was started in 1990 by some local dads wanting somewhere for their kids to play rugby locally . It holds the sub lease on Graceville oval with Western Districts Cricket and has nothing to do with your beloved Bulldogs. The...

Whatever happens today , it can’t be as bad as last night . Good luck to all teams .

Just watching the Shute Shield GF and it’s hosing down . Looks very slippery out there . On another note , think Jack Dempsey must have played AFL in a previous life , gees he likes his shorts tight !

Reds had both Lucas and Gordon on the roster this year , but both now gone. A development 10 would be a high priority you would think , but who ? The Gordon brothers both off to the Rebels. Pasitoa at the Brumbies, although behind two others there . Tahs have Harrison , Donaldson and...

Well said Happyman , Lucky to get the season in and it’s been a cracker, good quality footy and mostly very competitive games . Great to see teams and clubs building. The improvements across the board at Easts has been a stand out , seem to building on great club culture . Both Sunnybank...

Because he offers some much needed spark and presents a different picture to the AB’s rather than just more of the same but not quite as good that you get with Gordon . If you are going to replace your 9 with fresh legs you want the energy to increase . Didn’t see that happen in either of the...

Do the refs not have to also be in a bubble ? Nic Berry reffed the QPR major semi a couple of Sundays ago.

No argument from me with the outcome , was just stirring the pot in regard to questions raised in previous years . For what it’s worth , Colts and U20’s are one in the same , just like in previous years Colts and U19’s were. Just semantics , but some seem to think that it is an award for...

Ben Mowen got the Alec Evans’ and Mac Grealy U20’s player of the year .

Going off the past few years form , Colt of the year will be someone who has played very little to no Colts footy , form taken from what they have put on the field in first grade . Hands down Mac Grealy , unless of course the Academy coaches can find another more deserving Brothers player to...

How is the Alec Evans Medal decided ? Couldn’t imagine their would be too many people who have seen all games . Votes each week by people present or just a general consensus?

Conor Vest for the Alec Evans , has been both dominant and UQ’s best all season .

This is where the Reds should have an advantage in signing a young 10. Good coaching team , get to train alongside the current Wallaby 10 and with Gordon and Lucas having left you would likely be next cab off the rank . Brumbies and Tahs both have a few more options at 10.

The problem each team has in signing an up and coming 10 is who they are parked behind in the squad. JOC (James O'Connor) would be seen as a pretty big road block to most , could probably say the same about Lolesio. How do you make your team an inviting proposition to an up and comer if there is very little...

Yes and sadly none at the Reds .......

^ Tane was the NSW 1 starting 10 in 2018 at the national schools comp. He unfortunately had Carter Gordon and Reesjan Pasitoa in front of him that year for Aussie Schoolboys , but he can definitely play.
