@Hans, another way of looking at is this way: The Wicks are to be congratulated for getting so many into the extended squad, as fits the 2014 Colts1 Premiers, and it augurs well for their quest for back to back titles. They have come a long way since the Corporation put 100 points on them in a...

^^^ You missed option e @BDA. a) Hooper - his running game makes poey look like he has no legs. b) Pocock - he's like 5 Hoopers on defence. c) Liam Gill - he's well rounded, but more importantly, he's from Queensland d) Anyone else - options a) to c) all slept with my sister e) If d) is...

From a Qld badgeholder as well. What did @Scoey just say about your mob in the post directly above yours? All sorts of reverse psychology, and anti-jinxing strategies in place here as the supporters desperately seek the underdog title. It's not going to work.

In any number of clashes over the years, in nearly all sporting codes, the NSW team has been red hot favourite but yet they have constantly failed to bring the bacon home from an expedition to Brisbane. This is to such an extent that anyone thinking that Queensland don't have an equal or better...

No promises made here, but no inside information either. It is easier trying to get an honest answer from a politician that it has been to get a list from the usual snouts. In the absence of any confirmation, here is my version of the suggested NSW team list (which is probably about as...

This suggestion from @HighPlainsDrifter probably deserves to get some oxygen in this thread as well as where it was originally posted.

Nothing on http://www.twobluesrugby.com.au/ about the Wicks trial last weekend. Should have been a great day with plenty of footy. Any comments/scores?

Hi @Steve Stammers, apologies for not welcoming you to Gaggerland earlier. It is good to have you aboard especially if you are Steve Stammers the ARU Communications Advisor as your avatar indicates you may be (thanks google. I thought I recognised the name). It is good to have a link with the...

One interpretation from referees is that once a ruck or maul, always a ruck or maul with said contest ending when the ball is leaves the ruck/maul. In saying that if a ruck or maul has formed (something something two players from opposing teams something on their feet something physical...

Not if the players bound to the ball carrier, and the opposition player/s that is/are holding the ball carrier are bound in such a manner as to effectively seal off defending team access to the ball. I think the first defending player gets about a microsecond to sack the Ball Carrier before...

Channel Nein reporting that the drugs saga is across all three codes. Just like the match fixing, organised crime, performance enhancing drugs ACC investigation which lead to the Blackest Day in Australian Sport fiasco from last year when soccer, afl, nrl and rugby bosses were paraded before...

^^^ One thing that is known as a fact is that he won't be with the MMM's in 2015. All will be revealed in 3 weeks time with Shute Shield round 1, although Wicks played the M2B at Merrylands last weekend in a trial, and the Corporation have their first trial against the Woodies this weekend...

Can you have a maul without a tackle happening first? Yes. It could be argued that the Green player either attempted to hold the Ball Carrier and thus create a Maul situation, or he was trying to effect a tackle on the Ball Carrier. Law 17 Definition: A maul begins when a player carrying the...

Law 10 (p) as published. ‘Flying Wedge’. The type of attack known as a ‘Flying Wedge’ usually happens near the goal line, when the attacking team is awarded a penalty kick or free kick. The kicker tap-kicks the ball and starts the attack, either by driving towards the goal line or by passing to...

The Rebels web site has the DOB of Sione Tuipuloto as Feb 11 1997. That makes him 18 years and not much now, but importantly on the DOB cutoff of 1 Jan 2015 he was only 17 (2015 Under 18). He will also be eligible for 3 seasons in Under 20's (like Sean McMahon was).

I'm unsure of the maximum size of the squad for nationals. I'll defer to Uncle Joe's news as he is a lot closer to the squad than me. I have glued the squad above from Force, Rebels, Brumbies and NSW Rugby websites. Last time I checked there was nothing about any Qld Country players being...
