most teams these days at wests are in the top 4 hunt. That’s a big improvement where we have come from in recent years. Each club has different benchmarks/KPIs… guessing souths fans with their 10 premiership titles thumbs their nose at my bulldogs 3. All good, we got catching up to do.

Wow didn’t think his record was that great. Guess he’s losses stung the most. Getting swept by England on home soil was unacceptable, every Europe spring tour was a disaster… that blesisloe game in Otago where we had a chance to win the series was one of his most promising but disappointing...

Cheika was our worst national coach ever. He had one great moment and that was taking Ewen McKenzie wallabies to the World Cup final. After that when he got to mould the team into his own… well it was a national embarrassment. Dave Rennie been a breath of fresh air back at the top job.

Qpr instagram had a post on Friday for Sunnybank about their new recruit down at training Rohan Saifoloi. that’s a huge pickup for the dragons - anyone know why he didn’t play on Saturday? He was named at fullback but didn’t see his name on the teamlist in rugby explorer.

michael cheika does not coach the wallabies anymore. A sweep is very unlikely.

thought GPS was the best team from round 1. One loss to their name (hardest venue to win at though @ bond) they have wins against brothers, Wests & UQ. obviously GPS lost on weekend to brothers, so I guess brothers comes back into the picture as the competition favourite but they could lose...

you reckon country rugby clubs are telling other clubs they must relocate their games because of elements? Thank lord bond unI would only have to drive a hour for a makeup round. Those mid week fixtures aren’t afforded the luxury of our country rugby club brethren. Grass, dirt or mud as long...

I think youll find that maybe there’s an event on at wests the weekend of “makeup games round” July 9. as it was a designated competition bye round weekend (for the test match), wests probably went and booked the clubhouse for a function earlier in year not being able to predict Mother Nature.

I’d like for the cattle to be evenly dispersed in club rugby because parity in a competition makes for a more exciting comp come business end time. But Wilson is right. You can’t restrict this. It’s up to Norths to fix I remember wests use to have no representation at Reds level - it didn’t...

what’s required to pass concussion protocol? Hopefully it’s a independent doctor. Even if it was a Easts club doctor, doubt they’d risk giving clearance if he wasn’t good to go.

Yeah I understand Phil that majority of our squad are either in Australia/Australia A/Aus 20. I just can’t fathom that every other player not selected there would be injured. what’s the go with Zander, Blyth (bye weekend) or Connor Vest… to name a few.

Not a lot of reds being named for qpr this weekend? think I’ve seen one player named (Richie Asiata) kind of sad how these rebels players are fully invested in our competition but the reds boys… nowhere to be seen. I admire Lukhan Salakaia-Loto (regardless of thorns doghouse) because he has...

I don’t think this will happen, it might but there’s a significant disparity both in length and cost of flights when comparing melbourne to brisbane versus Perth to Sydney.

The tweet does say “new player” I suspect it will be someone who has yet to don the rebels jersey.

Must be tough handing out cards when you don’t have bunker/video review that they have in super rugby. Wonder how many home crowd reactions has led to a unwarranted bit of cheese for the visiting team.

Anyone watch the footy last night? really great to randomly have qpr on Wednesday night. The tigers got out to a fairly comfortable lead but souths were persistent and hung around to make it a enjoyable match. gorgeous George Francis with a pearler of a try. Ran about 30 metres there was a...

on last nights broadcast of Stans coverage of QPR game Easts vs Souths they made mention Brad Wilkin will be playing for Easts in the coming weeks. that’s a massive score for qpr rugby and Easts - I had no idea he did his schooling up here in QLD. Do the rebels have any cattle kicking around...

Why not? says right there he is an academy player. That’s good enough for me that he factors into the mix.

all I’m saying is 99% of players don’t give a F about a mercenary coming back to club, if anything they enjoy the newfound success (wests has been a headless chicken in the wilderness since 2006 excluding some token playoff appearances in 2017 & 2021) if the 1% of players upset at a club feel...

Not everyone is playing for a contract mate. if someone is hell bent on this pathway and feels hipped by a returning super rugby player well then the grass is always greener at norths. 99% of players are at rugby clubs because of their friends or family. Stop looking at everything thru the...
