^Gotta pay that, Oracle. That's pretty good. But then again I guess its hard to kick and run in sandals.

Courier Mail's TOTW ! 15. Hamish Muir (Norths) 14. Ben McMahon (UQ) 13. Will McCulloch ( Norths ) 12. Ben Della Cort ( Brothers ) 11. Will Johnston ( Wests ) 10. Oryaan Kalolo (Easts ) 9. Sam Farrar ( Easts ) 8. Taine Riori (Easts) 7. Henry Wilson (Easts) 6. Leo McCarthy (Brothers) 5. Hugo...

Norths are the real deal. I think the belief in themselves is just fine and their decision making and judgment, in the main, was very good - a sure sign of a well coached team. Losing 5 or 6 of their line outs in the red zone was the killer that they couldn't overcome. If they get a line out...

Wests v Brothers The Heavyweight bout upfront that promises plenty of Fury -from Brothers at least. Wests forwards , 1 to 8 were completely underwhelming last week and fired no shots , in fact , in comparison , Mother Hubbard's Cupboard looks like a Sizzler's Buffet Bar. But as the story goes...

I was talking with a bloke this morning - whose opinion I trust , who watched the Norths and Souths game on the weekend. He reckons Norths are for real and especially singled out their backs, and in particular , their 9 , 10 , 13 and 15. Also have an obvious game plan / strategy which they...

I agree. But I think it already does that . Doesn't it ? Watchers at any level will have their view, but more pertinently, players will have their view and some will fire up and want to play against someone they think they are miles better than , or , they believe they are equal to or not as...

^Fair enough. The Courier Mail deserve a lot of credit just to give visibility to the competition. As to who gets a stroke and who doesn't isn't the point so long as the competition is getting some attention and creating some interest. Coaches are always going to feed a few names to the...

And Taj Annan is more likely a 12 ,13 , 15 utility in Senior Rugby . Doubt you can seriously put his name into a future 10 spot.

I don't get what all the ongoing hand wringing is about re : the 10 spot and the continual sliding doors type discussion. Reality is, JOC (James O'Connor) is our 10 and a good one. Creighton is the deputy who has been earmarked and groomed along with a couple of prior options from a same- same vintage that have...

Haha yeah I know. What a shocker. Based on pre-season form I did think Souths would win off the back off a couple of forwards being available that weren't and then their Junior Wallaby halves taking advantage. Also didn't bank of 1 or 2 guys from Norths stepping up that look set for big...

Norths v Souths They are playing this one on the cricket oval at Shaw Park because a cricket score it will be. Souths forwards to run amok on a green top that lead to plenty of boundaries for Souths classy , but young , backline UQ v Wests UQ probably figure this will be a cakewalk, however...

Where is Jets ? He running a tipping comp this year? FWIW.... Norths over Souths UQ over Wests Brothers over Jeeps Easts over Bank

All Sports take official stands on Drugs as being counter to their values whether they be performance enhancing or recreational . I think it is fair to say that a number of Coaches and Administrators in any Sport would do recreational drugs with a percentage of these having what is more than...

Why stop at players . If they are serious about the integrity of the game they probably should be swabbing Coaches and Club Officials here and there.

I remember Jordan Carriera - Ipswich Grammar 2018 if memory serves. Had speed and moves as an outside back and at the time I thought he probably didn't get the attention he maybe should have got against guys like Jangala Bennet , and then Glenn Vahiu , Jack Bowyer, and Dion Samuela on a level...

I honestly think that a significant element of Brad Thorn's legacy ,as Reds head honcho, will be the building of that bridge from QPR to Super Rugby. He's done a helluva good job and deserves a stack of credit.

It's a free world. As Count Myron Malachi said "Let the pigeons loose!" It's a bit rich to kick up a stink about players choosing to come out and play here when a significant number of Australian players are playing all over the world.

My Magpie man tells me not so. In Bryant's case at least. And the policy seems pretty black and white for the black and whites. Start in Premier Grade if you are good enough or go back to Colts if you are Colts eligible. Good policy IMO. I understand he was injured for part of last year ...

What's the point of having an U20 competition when 20 year olds play Reserve Grade if they don't win out a starting spot in Premier Grade? I get it for guys with Reds contracts like Aubrey , Grealy and Thomas who are obvious starters, but for the sake of integrity in an U20 competition, the...
