    interesting. Well i saw that last night from the rebels fraternity. If moderators want to delete my posts they can. I won't be upset about it and i will tow the line of respect. But the conversation will be coming. I don't know when it's going to be open season on the circling vultures but I'm...

    Actually this is not true. I did not originally post on this topic until i saw someone else in the rebels thread talk about the impending vulturing of players.

    Yeah i think they (the players) also have legal case to exit their contract early. When you sign a deal to play. Where you choose to live is 2nd most important thing behind the money. The ARU expecting they can just tell the player where they'll be relocated too is just wrong.

    We knew months ago that which ever team was getting cut was going to spread the wealth of the talent amongst the other 4 franchises. One thing the Force have done great is picking no names out of obscurity and giving them the super rugby gig. Angus Cottrell & I believe also Richard Brown/Nick...

    yep. Tonight not the night for it. should all be mourning for the Force. But you'd be crazy to not think that coaches and general managers are having discussions right at this moment about which X-Force players they want to bring in.

    Well the Force got the guilitine. Anybody ready to talk about which free agent players fit the Reds scheme? Lance, Tessman, Cottrell all over in Perth. Am i missing any other Queenslanders? Some might say it's disrespectful to talk about this while it so fresh but gotta strike while the...

    QLD Premier Rugby 2017

    I am not for any contraction of the competition. I support Logan Saints being promoted and i merely floated the contrarian viewpoint about Bond leaving because TOCC and others were talking about Darling Downs not being a good idea because what it means to be playing in that regional community...

    Sorry TOCC I just reread my original post buddy. I didn't make myself clear. When I said we have a NRC comp that focus on regional rugby (NRC) as opposed to the local rugby scene. I was hinting that perhaps Bond be more of a NRC team and that scrapping them from the Brisbane club rugby. They...

    Another passionate Bond rugby fan. Sorry if you think i insulted your team. May I ask who your traditional rival is? Which Brisbane club do the Bond boys get fired up for the most. In my dream scenario of Australian rugby. There'd be a club competition and a University competition. I'm not a...

    QLD Premier Rugby 2017

    TOCC I never said Australia rugby doesn't need them. My tongue in cheek comment was in regard to Brisbane club rugby and a discussion about a hypothetical cull which saw Logan Saints being axed. I understand their contribution to the NRC from a sponsorship aspect. I just don't see how they fit...

    They still the breakers to me rugby reg. I only asked that question because their home games in previous years were at Bond Uni. Great to see that they are taking some/most of their fixtures to regional south east qld. Very much looking forward to the trip out to Ipswich rangers to cheer on the...

    TOCC for the amount of money that Bond is "investing" it really isn't bearing fruits. Do we really need them? I don't think so. We have this NRC comp which is more a focus on regional footy as opposed to the local club scene. What a shame that one of our NRC teams #QldCountry has their club...

    I'll let someone else opine on this Wests vs Sunnybank match. No need to rehash recent scars of a match that slipped away. Well done Sunnybank. Best of luck next week. To the Bulldogs what an amazing year. Everything clicked. It's been a massive 2017 for everyone down at the Kennelseum. This...

    I would rather take the punt on Sorovi. The kid is super young and he would essentially be developed as the backup to a Genia/Tuttle rotation. I just don't know how much better Frisby is on the development scale. I remember commentators raving about Frisby ability to play #10 or #15 and he...

    Can the fans start a gofundme to help subsidize Frisby departure? Would love to see Frisby moved on and bring back a franchise legend in Genia!

    QLD Premier Rugby 2017

    So the QLD City and QLD Country squads have been announced. I was wondering if anybody has spied any QLDPremierRugby players named in squads outside of Queensland? A bulldog name that has slipped thru the cracks simply because he has spent his time playing Reserve grade (but coming off...

    Qld Country - official NRC thread

    The criticism of brad Thorn coaching pedigree is wrong and unfair. That qld u20 side was very very dominate. Sometimes you gotta take a gamble on somebody showing a lot of promise and see what you have in them. I think Brad Thorn has the respect of the locker room and has seen more on the...

    Wow John Eales was super human in that. I forgot how Amateurs use to contest the lineout. We've come along way with getting the pods up.. but watching John Eales right there reminded me of a basketballer boxing out. using a mix of sheer size & Athletism to win the contest at the back of the...
