Wests instagram have shown a couple of preseason videos. Cullin is training down the kennel. Weird because you’d think he would be down the rebels preseason camp? Maybe his contract wasn’t renewed. I suspect CCJ will be the starting option for premier grade for majority of season and when...

reserve grade won the comp last year.

let’s see how toxic that club is midway into the season when 90% of their teams are sitting in the top 4 winning has a way to cure things (or hide underlying issues)

so the rebels look to be following the Vikings blueprint - except for entering a team of their own they are allowing their Brisbane born and bred players to go back to Brisbane to play club rugby. In an ideal world we still have the NRC and the rebels wouldn’t even need to entertain sending...

maybe that’s what they are doing but your not seeing the bigger picture here. Once upon a time the Canberra Vikings played In QPR and after a few seasons of ongoing success they decided to leave and send their cattle back to the inferior ACT clubland … I ask you this? Why did the Vikings join...

Yeah I mean what’s good for the game isn’t necessarily what’s good for the Tahs! would of been nice to see him playing qpr/gps considering the history there

how likely is Nadolo? It be nice for the Tahs to show that kind of compassion to a veteran player but it would set a ugly precedent… I don’t think QLD/NSW are formidable partners like that… more like petty rivals

was he previously at brothers?

Very strange Mafi would end up at GPS (didn’t he have a brother playing for Brothers?) I would have assumed Mafi went to wests… the bulldogs always on the lookout for quality hookers!

Wow the BJ Oats Brumbies announcement is interesting… wonder how the Red Heavies are looking for 2023

Recent history would suggest that any veteran player without qpr allegiance usually ends up at Brothers with the Cordingly contract clause inserted.

you really think the “ghost who walks” is werchon dad? I know if my son was playing rugby and exploring for new club I certainly wouldn’t be writing something like this below (bit of an attack on his own sons character)

Given a choice between Heenan & McKellar … I’ll take Mick. I still think brad thorn is our guy but he needs to get the results this year to have a conversation about another contract extension.

The Gordon brothers. I believe they played with Louis when they were kids

not what I asked though. Maybe someone should ask Werchon why he left and chose wests. I reckon it has something to do with playing alongside his friends from the sunny coast.

Brothers has a pretty stacked backline too… how much game time did he get in premier grade in 2022?

Efi Ma’afu had a couple of games last year after super rugby ended and before heading overseas… i imagine with the World Cup this year they’ll delay the northern hemisphere comps so that might make the situation a little different for QPR 2023. I wouldn’t expect Uelese who is from Melbourne...

you seem to have the details. why not share the gossip you’ve heard

Hopefully more players buy into reserves grades at wests this year. Felt like there was a bit of a gap between premier grade results and reserve grade in 2022. I hear Tony Cross (former premiership coach - 2006) is steering the ship for 2nd grade this year.

What have you heard about Easts? they finished the season really well last year. One dumb loss to Norths (after beating wests the week before) if one of the teams is to crack the top 4 who was on the outside looking in last season then I think it will be the tigers
