Agree , the two teams will have very different game plans . Easts will play field position and look to their set piece dominance. Bond will try and limit the stoppages and keep the ball in play for longer periods of time to make space for their very quick outside backs . Think it will come...

Bond will doing well to dust themselves off and go again this weekend . Massive effort over the last two weekends , wonder if they have much left in the tank ? Looked very happy walking over to their supporters on the hill last Sunday , but also pretty busted .

Agree PC , had Malolua not picked the ball up and left it in the scrum the ref might have been more inclined to award a penality try. The first of the scrum penalties was poorly controlled by the #8, he effectively kicked it back into the GPS scrum. Had the second scrum been controlled at the...

Was a little surprised how often Aiden Toua played first receiver in general play yesterday. Seemed like a tactical choice Easts were making . Would have thought he would have had more influence in the wider channels with Frampton distributing at first receiver.

East’s scrum is their main weapon and it dominated UQ yesterday , but that was the only part of the game where Easts had ascendency. UQ bettered them in general play all over the park. UQ played error free for the first 20 minutes and retained a lot of possession, also minimised the set...

Defensively he would be less of an issue at 12 than 13 . Nothing wrong with his tackling ability, the 13 channel is more about timing and who to hit, toughest spot in the backline to defend . His ball distribution would need to go up a level , but hat was a criticism of him playing 13 only last...

Tom has start twice in Colts to my knowledge. Once back in round 1 against Norths which didn’t count for points, but was considered a competition game and more recently against Wests. He has missed two weeks to injury and had one start in Prems . The rest of his games have been in Reggies ...

He will have some help.......

They might be able to but won’t, Mac will play 11 with Jock at 15.

For this season you have to have played four games to qualify for finals.

Agree that it didn’t look great , but the reason he had his shoulder stepped on was because it was wrapped around ASY (Angus Scott-Young)’s left boot when it had no right to be there . My issue is Wests citing and the loading. Call me old school , but he wouldn’t have got stomped on if he wasn’t illegally...

I watched it live , so can’t give you a minute count. ASY (Angus Scott-Young) was only on for the second half , it was a driving maul that UQ score off.

Surprised Jordan wasn’t in the original team , thought he was a stand out in the NZ Super season . When he wasn’t in the team just assumed he must be injured, best fullback/wing during the NZ Super comp.

Heard today that Wests cited ASY (Angus Scott-Young) for kicking out at someone who had hold of his leg during a driving maul . No action taken on the field , no direct effect on West’s season. He got a week suspension for the incident and was then loaded an extra week because he is a “high profile” player ...

Wests missed out on finals on for and against , finished equal with Souths on 26 points . Same number of wins and bonus points , but a substantially inferior points differential. Did any drop back from Prems for the Colts game?

Yeah , got to feel a bit for Tom Mellor . He has been playing and throwing very well this season . The UQ lineout has been quite good . There will be some serious lineout pressure on Nasser today with the Blyth brothers both playing for Bond.

About the only game I’m confident about picking is Wests over Souths . The others could go either way . It’s been a great comp !

Yep , Nasser at 2 ASY (Angus Scott-Young) at 6 Campbell at 15 Wallis at 8

All of them are starting , including Campbell at 15.

Pretty crazy that Harry Wilson and Hunter Paisami were club rugby players last year and now about to make their debut for the Wallabies against the AB's. Awesome effort , well deserved ! Daugunu similarly learnt much of his trade in QPR and would think Wright and McReight would not be too...
