24-7 to Uni. Some real strange decisions from the ref (no idea who he was or where from) and 2 Norths sin binnings didn't help the cause. 20mins with 14 players is tough against Uni. Can't blame the red though. 12-7 for the majority of the game. Other results? Sent from my mind......

$425 @ Norths for Seniors. Unsure for Colts but I THINK its around $250? Socks, Shorts, Training Singlet, Training Shirt and Polo Shirt. And of course all the ARU insurances in the world that only seem to cover one guy - Jack Schit. Imagine if they got rid of all that?? On the Rego form -...

Whilst it seems GPS may be a victim of their own success, I honestly cant see that happening at all. Building such a great playing group and depth over the past several years will benefit them in the years to come. Whilst they may not have brought home THE Trophy as many times as they would...

Ahhh interesting. I don't think Colts 1 is classed as Premier Colts Reserve is it? On the QRU website and the Rugbylink thing it's only: Premier Premier Reserve Premier Colts The rest is called "Brisbane Premiership" etc. Will help the CV's for a few kids: "Yeah I played 1st grade in the...

That is a massive shame if Logan are unable to field teams currently. I assume they still have ambitions to be a QPR club?? I wonder if it is due to the increase in fees, as we are also feeling it at Norths. On that point, sort of, if Bond have a crap load of money to throw at their rugby...

We had a very slow start. A few errors and before we know it, we were behind on the board. But that's what good sides will do to you. I thought we did ok to stay in it to be honest, as in the past, we would have let the score blow out in the last 15mins etc. Tigers set piece was solid and...

In Prems you could have 18-20 year olds playing against 30+ year olds?? E.g. Garrath Ryan @ Norths. One of the better and consistent PROPS in QPR2014. (biased opinion of course ;)) I never played in a Colts grade set up at club - something I'll always regret. School to Prems etc. But I think...

I'm not an astute business man... BUT: 200 players paying $200.00 is better for the game than 100 players paying $400.00. Isn't it?? o_O Moving on now... I promise. #QPR2015 will be an interesting one. I think the Reds performances will have a big impact on the club scene with players...

That is indeed a good side TT. Hopefully Gunn pulls on a Red jersey this weekend and not a Blue & Gold one ;) Not sure on ours yet. Will need to assess the injuries from Saturday as we seemed to lose a few!!! Was very frustrating. Will let you know on Sat at 3.19pm :D ** Yeah very...

Increase in the fees has also had a negative impact on playing numbers at Norths. Unfortunately its just too expensive to play rugby nowadays... and that is a massive shame. Imagine all the talent amongst the poorer socio-economic communities that are missing out because of this. Insurance...

TT - Our training t-shirts this year are incredible hulk green. He may be confused? We like to mix things up. Next year we are looking at magenta and aubergine....... ;)

Norths v Souths Trial was very scrappy from both sides. The 3rd quarter was probably the better rugby of the game. Being a Tues night, it took both teams a while to settle down and play rugby. But overall - a scrappy affair with some good open rugby. Souths fullback - Milne? was probably the...

Penalty Try was off a tight head too.... was well deserved. Not only win the ball of them, but then turn their attacking scrum, into a defensive scrum and then watch it crumble under the pressure. Reds scrum had them under the pump all night. He could of given a penalty try on the other side of...

Norths vs Souths trials for tomorrow are cancelled. May be an option to reschedule the Prem's early in the week. Stay safe everyone!

Norths vs Souths in a full club Battle of the Birds at the North side Nest. Looks like it might be a wet weekend for footy!! Better get the 21mm out ;) They don't get used often over here!! (21mm sprigs for all the under 25year olds reading this) The ONLY choice of boot we used to have.

Prem grade, yes.... Totally agree. $5 is very reasonable for sure!! Every other grade though? That's why it needs to be across the board, but there isn't the infrastructure to make that happen at this stage.... Unless we use the most valuable asset to QRU grassroots rugby - Ballymore? Friday...

Should be every club, or no club. Closer car parking, yeah sure why not? Food and drinks, of course! But to go and watch your son play Colts, or your husband or boyfriend, brother, father or mate play 1st grade CLUB rugby or above, it should be free, it has to be free, for the game...

So only for games on #1 field I assume? Sent from my mind......

Filth, heard a rumour Brothers will be charging entry to watch footy at Crosby this year? Any truth? If so, for all games or just prems? Will be a shame for e.g. 2nd grade families wanting to watch husbands, boyfriends, fathers play some rugby, to have to pay for the privilege? I understand...

Fair call Big Dog.... Maybe we need to stop treating them as "Average Joe's"? ;) Playing Premier Grade rugby is a special thing. Not everyone gets the opportunity. Unfortunately most players don't appreciate this until they stop playing or cant play anymore. If we make it exclusive...
