I think the gap is closing though. Last year, Brothers and Uni at any one stage due to a combo of rep duty, 1st grade and injuries had up to 9 or so whereas this year it's like 2 or 3

UQ seemed physical but there wasn't anything out there that suggested to me that they could've gone on to win that one on their own if that makes sense? Their 10 Twidale is a very good footy player but maybe lacking the dual playmaking threats, making their play easier to defend against. Not...

I think they are fairly light on this year in the pack so I hope they keep him at 2.

And name players who have been part of the selected squad at the start of the year who actually fill the exact positions you're questioning. The whole selection bias is absolute rubbish.

We're starting to get into the time of the year were depth is vitally important. Injuries are running a muck and people are people called up for differing rep duties, grade games and exams

From the looks of it Uni are a good side but I'd say they are probably closer to Sunnybank/GPS in terms of performances so far compared to Brothers

Not sure but I've heard he is back next weekend

Uni by 20 Souths by 10 Wests by 17 Easts by 8

Deflavis and Tom Kibble both out

and people will still say it's stupid posting. cut it

Can one of the moderator's deadset cut these absolute rubbish about NSW selection bias? We've all agreed that it's nonsense and we have the same posters just continuing to churn out the same rubbish

I know he hasn't played 10 in a while because Foley is there but I would love to see Kurtley Beale as our wallaby flyhalf. I just think he offers so much more than Foley in terms of attacking the line straight and the ability to bring others into the game through his ball playing

thank the lord he is off

Even then though, Rorke wouldn't be Super Rugby level and the second tier in our game is basically not paid while in rugby league it is.

Hasn't some of the coaching staff at Souths previously been at GPS or am I way off the money there?

Funnily enough Brad Wilkin was himself a teen star. Two years of Australian schoolboys, two years of Australian u20's. It is a massive trade off we face because of the lack of professional teams available. There are many ongoing issues in our junior development systems from 14 years old...

Seems to be working so far?

Idk if it's been mentioned but there has been rumours of us getting one back in Pete Samu. Apparently Chek is keen to bring him back

anyone have team lists for the games on Saturday?

Some clubs train 4 times a week. It's about a balance of skills, strength and conditioning etc. If you have 4 2 hour sessions well that's unreasonable but if you had 4 1-1h 30min sessions then it's well run
