If we were trying to get the best of both worlds scrummagin and general play these guys still seem like the right choice to me or do you have different views? p.s sorry for the twenty questions but your a man who has the inside view from an analysis point of view

Uni is never going to move and that treasure trove of funds has had its controversies. Wests is apparently on the up and is operating in the black and makes a fair bit of coin these days. I dont think relocation is likely to happen with any of the traditional clubs and everything is in cycles...

Scott who would you say technique wise is the best front row three in Aus? We seem to pick a front row based on their aroudn the park efforts. but if we chose on scrummaging woudl it be completely different?

Wests have had more numbers this year in grades then the last 3 yearsthe only area they struggle is colts because of the pull of uni but by grades this pull has worn off. You cant really move clubs it isnt a pro franchise where all the money, sponsors and admin will go with it. Effectively all...

Logan wont be invited in untill they can fill the quota for a 12th club & i dont think we need rush into that. Ipswich might be the only team that could possibly pull that but they would need all their stars to align and be able convince springfield and goodna to merge with them. But this would...

Hodgson I think will lift his game and be a leader on and off the field but brown isnt much the 'follow me' kind of guy. Reports i have heard form inside the force camp is that he is pretty much being held together by tape and they were surprised he got as much game time as he did last season...

Yeh but his salary compared to his output is a bit shit. And these young whipper snappers just have a monsterous work rate

If mikaele is the big islander coming off the bench for easts press the last few weeks.......he looks like sitaleki timani 2.0. Also I think I may have seen him play colts his work rate needs to lift but he does make some good runs at u19 level but once someone cuts him he seems to shy. But then...

Sorry i had a blip for a moment i though south downs wasnt considered part of darling downs. But condamine and goondiwindi arent really a stones throw away

But what towns? When you think about it some of the key towns of darling downs are Toowoomba, Dalby, Goondiwindi, Nanango, Condamine. Stanthorpe & maybe could stretch in Warwick ( geographically outside darling downs but maybe a another population to pull from) Toowoomba would be the most...

Most Ipswich players go to Wests or Sunnybank and a majority of IGS players go to sunnybank. Darling Downs is realistically unviable as the area contained in that district is geographically to big maybe a toowoomba team though then players can travel as they please

I am gonna come out and say it but i dont think mcalman and or Brown are that good and i prefer alcock, cottrel and mccaffrey to them.

Ipswich would probably be the ones to step up they field 3 teams most years and imagine if they went up they would get an influx of players form Goodna and Springfield. Colts for them would be a problem as most kids from St. Edmunds & Grammar who play firsts would either head to brisbane for...

But on a serious note every club gives players some sort of leg up I know Norths help players get positions as boarding house masters at Ashgrove which is a good idea and I think ok as it helps it gives young lads who can't afford rent or college a break. I think stuff like that is okay but I...

I know from the horses mouth they also get some nice incentives.

Also I know you were joking about timani playing no. 8 but I still vomited a bit in my mouth

JOC (James O'Connor) will be a good centre. He is only 22 for peets sake. I am a massive quade fan but if lealilifano has another good season like last I think he is in trouble. However I feel as though a centre pairing of lealifano and taps could flourish. But I think if we get Mckenzie as coach the wallabies...

The way it was put to me was that the academy recommends these clubs as they believe that they have the best infrastructure and coaches in place. Which is pretty true however I would suggest that teams like wests and souths who have Brought in better coaches will probably see there names back on...

Also been told by some current schoolboy rep players have already been sounded out as 'academy prospects' and told that if they want to convert on this they should go to one off the 3/4 preferred clubs. But I do not know the validity of this kids claims

That pat Richards thing irks me still. I know it's just the way things are but the way he has used his position at the Qru to the advantage of eats has only been at the detriment of other clubs. But what can you do.....
