In the absence of a second/Third tier competition and with the talk of the aforementioned clubs. With the knowledge whatever has been going on in Aus over the last 15 years has rugby on a downward trajectory. Should the QPR become a 6 team Comp, then a second comp of 6 teams be created...

Not to delve into the QPR chat but- is there even any larger centres /inside backs running around in Prem grade? If they can't crack the pathways then no wonder we don't have any in the reds squad. Only one I can think of is Lebron from wests - who didn't pick up a contract post rebels?

While we're still a way from knowing if rumours will come to fruition Norths have had good recruitment of players this offseason. They're building momentum after last year, which has been displayed in the 7's win. I have have them 5/6th next year. I see souths and easts struggling with the...

the Japanese sniper, the goal kicking routine and approach is stuff of legend. (Pretty sure he actually had a bang average percentage here tho lol)

Please stop discussing our singular capped outside centre becoming a lineout jumper. Lineouts are won with variation, speed along the ground and fully completed lifts. Not an U14 high jumping prospect

Kiss wasn't too high on him this season either

Agreed, Uru also probably in the Lock rotation so Bryant and Brial get a run as well for me. Blyth - the wallaby - spending more time in QPR for me

To be fair we never really had them last year through injury or suspension.

First thoughts are the forward pack is RED hot. Second thought is we do lack a lot of size in flyhalf and centres. Albeit hunter and Flook are great defenders you'd expect to see a lot of Daugunu taking first phase hit ups in attack. My team list is below, keen to know how others would build the...

Next year is the big test for Bond. was their 2023 Season Minor prem just a good run or the sign of a strong program maturing with some good results. Second year under Heenan and you'd think the bullsharks might be under some pressure to perform now

Smith over Canham or at least Blyth for me. Flook at 13 daugunu on the wing and anderson at 23 We need more work horse players in attack with our more dynamic back row hence smith. Flook is a gun defender and can't cover fullback, he'll plug any holes Ryan or Daugunu might have in them...

At least they made the finals this year and they did look much improved over the last three years so souths "were" on the right track. Not even god knows how they'll roll out next year based on this forum. Not 100% sure but the Prems don't pay subs and brothers have a couple of share houses...

Every ex QLD QPR player I've spoken too have said that the money is down in Sydney. Blokes get paid $500 odd a week for a start down there. Money talks and whether the competition is better or worse it always seems like a step in the right direction on the rugby CV to have a paid gig. I dare...

I hear they're looking at a multi week (2/3) preseason comp similar to NRL as an exhibition between comps - trying to build on the concept at crosby were they had the sunshine coast play against roma as well as canberra vs wests

There quite literally were none better for his age - hence why he won the U20's player of the year.

I will be honest, this is the second big game/opportunity he's blundered. Against Wales it was definitely a night to forget for Werchon and with Cartwright as his replacement that night I can see why he went into the weekends match emotionally charged.

After watching the game yesterday I still question whether Wests have the game management to beat Brothers. To me it was more a game UQ lost, not taking points with entries into the 22 due to a failing set piece, then Wests won by icing the game. For me it's Brothers by 13 this weekend.

Big Benny Daniels missed most the year as well through injury and U20's honors

I have no issue with Colts players playing Grades for finals if they're knocked out and aren't kicking out a long term squad member of the team they're joining. What's the difference between a colts 1 star/reds academy player playing reserve grade in finals and a Colts 1/2 fringey playing 4th...
