Read in the paper today that Jock Hobbs' son was being chased. Played a few games for the Blues at 10 and spent a few years in the Qld Academy a couple of years back. Anyone know how he plays? Wonder what Jock makes of it?

Never in doubt Reddy....see, things are getting better already!! Good point about the forwards LG, more go forward required bigtime. A possible game day squad at the front end of the season might be: 1. Holmes 2. Hardman 3. Weekes 4. Horwill 5. Van Humphries 6. Higginbotham 7. Braid 8. Houson...

Well, if that game was anything to go by then Souths will be warm favourites for the flag this year. Watched them tough it out against Easts a few weeks back and today they totally dominated. It was a good forward battle but Souths were definitely the tighter and more agressive unit and gave...

Barnes' departure is disappointing, no doubt, but we will get over it. I think his leadership will be missed more than anything else, so a few of the older players will need to step up in that regard. A glass half full says that Genia will be dynamite at the scrumbase, Quade Cooper will step up...

Time for some positive Qld rugby talk! Should be a cracker of a game down at Chipsy Wood oval today with Brothers visiting Souths. 1 v 2 and the Caxton Cup on the line. Both backlines have a ton of pace and Brothers are going to have to keep a close eye on Cooper at 15. Some mongrel in both...

According to a story in the Courier mail recently, Morahan has a contract in 2010.

Went out to Shaw Park and left before the end but Norths were getting pumped by the Sun Coast 32-15. Didn't recognise anyone in the Suncoast team but their scrummy, and 7 were decent. Also had a young fullback with a bit of toe. Three Reds on the Norths side didn't help. Will Genia was sharp...

Easts v Bros for mine. 1 v 4 and both last years finalists. Brothers will start as favourites given Easts injuries but Easts are a pretty stout bunch. Brothers won Round 1 48-0 or something but if Easts have a few back and Walker is firing then anything is possible. Having said that Souths vs...

That's why club footy is still an enjoyable Saturday arvo pastime. Beers in the outer, good natured banter and kid access to field and players.

Be great if club footy was considered a viable pathway for players.

Stick with Burgess but pull him earlier if he is not travelling well. No use rushing Genia in too quickly, he is only just back from injury.

Didn't see the game RF but have heard Ben Tapuai impressed at 10. Think he is a great player just wonder about his pace. Wonder what brought his brother back from OS. Breakers are looking like the smokey in this comp. Very capable forward pack with a solid front row, the usual 10 Golling is all...

Probably inappropriate for this thread, but speaking of sideline slagging, heard an oldy but a goldy a few weeks back, " hey ref, get off your knees, you're blowing the game".

Interesting to see how much influence the 'old guard' still seems to have. Hope these latest machinations yield something positive. Funnily enough the QRU seems to have got things moving well at junior levels with Qld Schools winning the Nationals 4 years in a row and the 16's national...

Hanson up against Hardman this Saturday at Crosby Park in what looks to me to be the match of the round. Uni are out of the finals race but with their Reds back have found some good form lately. It will be interesting to see whether young Lance at 10. can keep his good form. Should be a good...

As per usual Lee, great reports on this years crop of elite schoolboys. Surprising how easily Qld 1 did it in the end really. Amazing to see given how young some of the team are. Apart from Browning I understand Sautia and A'auva are young guys as well. Augurs well for Qld next year I guess...

Watched Q Cooper play club footy for the first time on the weekend and he was the difference between Souths and Easts, as a test player should be. Threw two superb passes and kicked cleverly for the last three Souths tries. His game looks to have changed a little. Less of the exaggerated step...

Lance is a very good player and I was surprised he didn't get a 20's call up. Cooper was actually at 15 for Souths I think with Fainga'a playing 10.

Getting back their Reds did little for the Bank. Still got touched up by Brothers. Uni's Reds obviously made a difference as they upset second placed Souths, who had Cooper, the Fainga'a's and Kennedy playing. Easts with no big names apart from Andrew Walker blitzed GPS48-3 and are coming into...
