They would be very good with those players back , but doubt anyone other than the current top four will qualify, although if they roll UQ for the second time this year next weekend they will put a scare through the teams above them . The UQ v Sths game was a willing affair, with lots of heavy...

^agree couple of his efforts yesterday would have once been described as a “hip and shoulder” , no arms and second man in. Could have easily been shown the cheese yesterday.

Surely you didn’t back against UQ Jets ! They could cause quite a stir to the back end of the comp . What are the FT scores?

Maybe change it to “present” then , as in on a platter. It could just be due to resources , but you can’t say the rep pathways here in Qld have ventured far and wide to find the best talent in the state outside what is right in front of them here in Brisbane. Maybe they think the GPS rugby...

I agree SS , the U19 NRC has been good to identify talent missed during the school pathways. But am not totally sure that GPS lads missing from Qld Schoolboys is a missed opportunity, could look at it as a chance for a bunch of kids that would have been otherwise overlooked to be noticed and...

If Souths control possession early and get to dictate the pace of the game they will most likely win. Easier said than done , the UQ forward pack’s combinations and form has been building nicely during the season , Souths will need to put in for the full 70 minutes to beat them . Think it...

Think with red cards the refs are somewhat limited in using discretion by the wording you often here the TMO’s using when reviewing. Often hear “shoulder came in contact with head or neck” , seems to be this equals red card, regardless of why, as in no discretion. When reviewing other possible...

Pretty sure it’s 3 years , even then he can leave after 2 , as in 2+1 year option. Puts him back here before the 2023 RWC.

Will be interesting to see how Souths bounce back from their loss to Brothers last week in their match up with UQ tomorrow. UQ and Brothers play a similar up tempo game and no doubt UQ will be looking to move the big Souths forward pack around to the point of discomfort. Souths will need to be...

Story on rugby Xplorer yesterday quoting JoHanson saying they tried to keep him and had what they thought was a very good offer on the table, didn’t disclose what the offer was , but guessing nowhere near close enough to 1.2 m Story today in the CM about Cheika “reaching out” to Ponga. What...

Schoolboy rugby is an U18 comp. Doing senior over 3 years only works if you are 16 in year 11, plenty of lads now 17 in year 11 would not be permitted to play schoolboy rugby in their final year if senior was over three years. Of course this just means more 16 year olds targeted in year 10...

Yep always hard when you have little to play for , but still would have been nice to keep the momentum going moving into the semi finals and a bit of a worry to concede that many points. On the positives, hopefully will act as a reset and refocus the squad, plus the form of McReight and Lucas...

Think he played a bit of 13 for Aussie Schoolboys last year.

Will be good to see how Frost and Tafa go with extra time .

He is a BBC old boy , guessing he played rugby there , anyone know what position?

True , but talking real life as well, he is a true 7 in my eyes and plenty of others’, in my older son’s circle of friends, which adds nothing to his rugby ability , but a favourite of mine nonetheless. Can throw the other two in there as well, plenty trumpeting their cause amongst those who...

Agree that it’s Tate’s to lose, but could have said the same about Sorovi at the start of this season, he certainly had the early running , but Tate’s form couldn’t be ignored.

Yep McReight has come off the bench twice this year, not a lot of minutes, but has got on. Already plenty of talk about him starting at 7 next year with Wright to 6 and ASY (Angus Scott-Young) to 8, can see Wilson getting time next year as well, most likely off the bench. Lucas would have played a shit load of...

^ ever been to lady's day at one of the clubs? It's not just the blokes.

^ Yes might get more to the curtain raiser! :)
