And I was trying to get across the point that potential or raw talent isn't enough to make it as a professional rugby player. Con has the work ethic and mindset required. As for the coaching he has received, it's available for anyone that wants it. Clubs don't chase people away. Any of the other...

Firstly I'll say that I know Con, I coached him at Uni a couple of years ago. I disagree with your statement about him being in the right situation and not having potential or raw talent. I will agree with you though on the point about his hardwork. That it something that doesn't get recognised...

He's back in town during the off season in Japan. I wouldn't be surprised if he was training at GPS as he has a lot of mates there, might even have a run.

Souths dominated Sunnybank 16-5

T12 Sorry champ. Did come across a bit agro. I'll swing by Souths on my way home from training and try and write something about it in the coming days.

Souths are playing Sunnybank tomorrow night at 6:30

Souths v Sunnybank on at Chipsy Wood oval tomorrow night. 8pm kick off.

Souths have no say over the use of Souths Juniors fields. Why would the Juniors allow the senior teams to rip up their fields? There is talk of the Premier game being played this week but not sure of the likelihood of it happening.

I think the QRU called his bluff. He must have stated he would only sign for a certain figure that the Force were offering, they said have fun in the west, he decides that playing for the Reds is what he wants and signs today. It's the complete opposite position the Reds took with Berrick and it...

GPS are great value at $6.50. Even Easts at $7 would be worth a few dollars. I wonder who wrote the book on this?

There has been a lot of hype around Easts this year in regards to how close they came to the finals last year and all their recruitment. I think from a distance many people expected Easts to win the game yesterday. It was close and they lost to a good Brothers team. I don't think there is a lot...

While Genia has been great for the Reds I think this is really go to rugby in WA. Genia is a promotors dream and does a great job with the kids. I also think that his signing will help attract a good coach, something they need badly. On the Reds front I think the timing is quite good. Genia will...

Fa'aleo Kefu must be getting on a bit. I played against him 10 years ago and he was playing 3rd grade last year. Had a lot of talent when he was younger and will be dangerous if he is fit. Also interesting to see a couple of former Sunnybank players running around for Souths in Somi Pulu and...

While Rugby Gold Coast are struggling it is my understanding that most, if not all, of the clubs on the coast are in a pretty good position. Rugby Gold Coast has a couple of guys on the Qld Government Sport and Rec Jobs Plan program and they are doing a great job from all reports.

Former Australian schoolboy Waita Setu is returning from a few years in league and will come off the bench for Sunnybank in 1st grade on the weekend. He is the younger brother of Bronco's player Lagi.

Does anyone have a stat on Digby's try scoring rate from 13? From the top of my head it is pretty high. I'd love to see him play there and I think he would take a lot of pressure off other players.

Yeah there are a heap of Uni players in the Aust Uni's team that are in NZ.

I think TD was more interested in the trial against GPS on the weekend. I would be keen to hear from anyone who was there.

So with the season kicking off on Saturday what are peoples thoughts about the season ahead? Will it be a case of Colts reflecting the fortunes of the Premier teams or are there some clubs who have focused on developing their Colts program for the future of the Club?
