That's right I forgot Penca missed games at the start of the year. Pretty unbelievable achievment for QBN to get three backrowers all so close together like that. I think it's only fitting that the McDougal medal race would be so close. Given that the premiership race was so close this year as...

Jeez that's impressive for Hyne (not trying to diminish the accomplishment for Noa and jones) how many games did Hyne miss with his injury?

I'm really excited about next weeks semi final. Gungahlin probably has one of the best attacking back lines in the competition. While QBN's back line is probably the best defensive unit in the comp. The forward packs appear to match up well. However, the potential loss of Dobson and McGee...

I watch 2nd half of colts 2nds and 1sts yesterday. Tuggies colts just looked completely overmatched. That royals side will be really tough to beat for whoever ends up playing them in 2 weeks. 2nd grade was a really good game of footy. Tuggies scrum was under pressure early. when a new prop...

Yeah I tend to agree Robinson probably ends up in the centres for 2s. The coach has stuck with suavai throughout the year so I can't see him getting dropped. You've also got Powell to come in for Bowden. Jarrad butler will most probably play which puts swain or vejvoda back to colts or 2s...

Good to see a lot of you guys went out to the Vikings vs Royals game. I watched both grades. The second grade game was also a cracker. Gilltrap was outstanding for the 2s backs. Blackmore, McGrath and Junior seemed to carry the load in the forwards. This Vikings 2s team could be very dangerous...

Anyone know the status of the games tomorrow? All grounds are being reported as closed.

From what I understand there's going to be a bit of an exodus at the end of the year. Not just in the front row but in general. Looking at the scrum as an outsider it's more of a reflection of the coaching staff. The team hasn't changed all that much and the individuals in the pack have all...

I didn't get a chance to head down to Erindale this weekend. I had a couple Of things po up last minute. Having a look at the scores makes me pretty sad. It's a real shame to see easts struggling so much. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for the players. I thought they were making...

You're sort of missing the point. The point i'm trying to get across is that when you have Stephen Moore (test capped) Josh Man-Rea (test capped) and Robbie Able Why would you go and spend another $100,000 or more on a fourth choice hooker? Why not allocate that money to a couple of young...

I'm not really sure of the point you're trying to make. But I will say this. Had the Brumbies been willing to invest in Raines he perhaps could have been a better and cheaper option than Dowsett. Had they been willing to invest in Hawke he maybe could have developed into a better and cheaper...

For the sake of my rant I'm defining 'local player' as someone who has spent 3+ years playing in Canberra. It's quite frustrating as a Brumbies and Local rugby fan. When we look at the all time great players who've come through at the Brumbies most of them were either local players or came...

Word is neither dean O-H or Penca will make their debut for Brumbies this week. It looks like they've decided to take Tom Staniforth to New Zealand and hope the back row stays healthy. At a pinch Arnold is probably athletic enough to cover 6 if needed. Disappointing for both of those boys. But...

I honestly can't separate them. At this stage id have tuggies slightly ahead. If Vikings are paying $2 to win QBN are paying $2.01. It's really that close. I was very impressed with Dara's first half last week. In my opinion it's a two horse race at this point. However, anything can happen come...

Was out at Jameson today. It was like watching two different games. It's hard to tell if the Vikings kicked it into gear or wests just collapsed. Probably a bit of both. Vikings scrum was much improved. Vikings front row seemed to have figured it out early but perhaps tired into the second...

Looks like Hyne is out for the season. He did his syndismosis (I think that's how you spell it). Really disappointing for him. Oakman-Hunt was 24th man last night so I'd say he gets an opportunity next week. Id say Penca gets called in as well.

Dara appears to be figuring it out at the right time of year. If I was involved over there I'd be a little concerned for the following reason. Dara was dominant against a Vikings side who looked very flat and still only beat them by a point. Second half score was 20 - 7 to Vikings. For me that...

No 8. Vikings looked really tired early and found themselves down 17 - 3 after about 30. They looked more like themselves for the last 50. But it's always hard to chase that much.

Great game out at Viking park today. I thought it was going to be hard to top last week but it was pretty damn close. Having been rooting for tuggeranong the last few weeks. I sat down with the gungahlin fans to broaden my horizons a little and found myself going for the underdog. Vikings...

Gilltrap didn't play well last week. He made a couple of silly decisions. I think it's as simple as he didn't play well and will spend a week in 2nds to hopefully motivate him to get his spot back. Personally I don't think Fianifo has much left in the tank. I also noticed Mcgrath comes back...
