Wonder what happened to the Pillar to Post podcast. start of season I checked every week for new episodes but have just given up and assume they packed up shop.

He must be injured - he did turn out for Easts tigers last year but haven’t seen him in any lineups this year.

he is still super young stuck behind some quality front rowers. The reds have a front row depth crisis - anytime a player can play multiple positions on the front row… it’s a valuable trait. the guy I want from the rebels is Efi Mafu. Former qld reds who has a ton of super rugby experience...

Rhys Van Nek would be a good option, has been know to play hooker in a pickle.

Cheers for that list Wilson. Agree on bringing back Slipper. Brad and James would need to have a chummy press conference side by side and talk about the road to redemption but I reckon they could coexist yet again.

Yes I’m generally interested to see if Brad thorn is the forgiving type and will welcome back a player with open arms that may have previously left. Rodda, Hockings and Lucas are pretty much nogo’s in my eyes on account of how their departure played out with in media and money outstanding...

I believe Faagase would be the first reds player to return to team under Brad Thorn Tenture. A Smith twin might of come back for a second stint but as they are identical they confuse me and hard to keep track of. Can anyone else think of a second stint thorn player?

Ethan Dobbins is turning into a weekly liability for wests with his yellow/red cards. Great work ethic running around the park but boneheaded penalties leading to 10 in the bin (3 weeks in a row) If anyone at ballymore scouting QPR hookers this is certainly Ethan’s biggest knock.

Haven’t won the Bledisloe in almost 2 decades. Rugby dying a slow death in the private school system and slowly losing 3rd place to Soccer. Why do you suggest we shrink the talent pool we scout from & not increase it? I vote we bring in the international imports & rugby leagues prospects to...

Also talentfinder brad thorn has never been afraid to throw a player under the bus when they make a mistake. Andrew Ready / Nick Frisby for example

I think your clutching at straws TF. You've been very critical of players who have not come to super rugby via the private school gps pathway. How is Droasese situation any different from the fringe rebels players who need match fitness that are shipped off to play QPR on the weekend? the...

Filipo Daugunu has been named on the wing for wests this weekend (if the game actually goes ahead) I can’t ever recall a wallaby who turns out in clubland as frequent as Filipo. He either really loves rugby or the powers to be want him to continue to find his Mojo back in clubland.

if any club shouldn’t be cancelling. It’s GPS… they have a have dozen ovals to play on. maybe it’s actually a localised flooding issue. I know GPS has a creek running by it, does that ever break its banks? Would hate for a couple of colts prospects to be washed away all the way to Kedron where...

My guess is wests & brothers would reschedule. the other home games (Easts/GPS) have hosted some pretty sodden contests before.

Does UQ, GPS Easts or Brothers pay for flights for when their rebels contingent fly in/fly home for qpr match games? I don’t think accomodation costs are is a issue for the qpr/rebels players considering most are from Queensland & they end up staying with family. will be interesting to see...

no idea - there’s going to be some juggling of talent and egos no doubt.

looking forward to Garry Owens picks next week.

Cooper Whiteside boot. Take a bow wow!!! Won the dogs the game yesterday - way too many yellow & reds for this bulldog fans liking. Easts scored more tries but were no match for the wests fullback accuracy. 4/4 on conversions, 5/5 on penalties… conditions were treacherous & some of the...

Both those clubs are the cream of the crop. Both have large targets on their backs due to their success.

i thought about that. He said posh! there’s been some instances with brothers where their behaviour is more bogan than posh… so I settled for the other powerhouse elites club of QPR
