I get what you are saying RR, just using him as an example. My big gripe is contracting in NRL players before giving union players a go. In the case of Maranta the Broncos are extremely pleased to get rid of him and the Reds sign him?? Another one is Nabuli who has not exactly set the game...

My big question with all the development players coming through why are we contracting players from NRL and AFL? We let players like Gill, Lance and Morahan get away. Why aren't we giving the likes of Magnay a go? He will most probably spend the season on the bench again. 3rd season in Super Rugby and he...

King, you may need to get your facts straight before shooting from the hip. Geoff Townsend will take over from Brad Harris as Prem Colts Head Coach. Sean Hedger is going nowhere as far as I know as stated in the article. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bond is in a predicament with only one field to practice and play on which means they can only field 4 teams, 1 x Prem, 1 x Prem res, 2 x Colts. This does not give the club much depth in numbers to build on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Personally I just don't agree with Moore's signing, next we'll see Genia back taking away a chance for a young player like Tuttle and so on and so on. We are loosing some good prospects to the signing of league players and oldies. Mason, Banks etc. Bring back Liam Gill who left in his prime not...

Glad there is a like button. Besides Ready, who is playing well at the moment, there are young and upcoming players ready for the Super Rugby experience, Alex Mafi is signed with the Reds. The Reds need to grow the next gen of players coming through otherwise it will be same old same old. Sent from my...

^^^^^^^^ Fair comment Lee, the English backs were huge, athletic and well organized where we were experimenting with the centre's and outside backs. Players need to be selected in positions they normally play e.g. Magnay/Jurd albeit the red card did us no favors. Sent from my iPhone using...

4 are new to the u20 squad + Reece Hewat who was off with injury last year, the other 10 are all 2016 u20's. 5 represented Aus u20's at the 2016 JWC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My early 15 picks for 2017 QLD u20's squad. I know squads have not been announced yet. Hope all of these youngsters are available. 1. Harry Hooper 2. Effie Maafu 3. Gavin Luka 4. Harry Hocking 5. Angus Blythe 6. Liam Wright 7. Angus Scott-Young 8. Reece Hewat 9. Harry Nucifora 10. Alex Horan...

He has the right attributes to play 7's, but there are a few youngsters that are really good going for it at the moment, the likes of Josh Coward, etc that are all still u20's eligible. It will be interesting to see if they come back to 15's if they don't make the 7's circuit. Sent from my...

I did mean Alex Horan and just saying that Isaac Lucas may not even make an appearance in u20's in 2017. McNamara played 10 in the Colts finals in 2016 (not too long ago). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Big call to sign up straight from school when you have a string of young hopefuls already in the mix, DP, McIntyre, Mason, Tim Horan, Liam McNamara, Hamish Stewart and Liam Moseley (been injured the last year) with Moseley, Stewart and Horan eligible for u20's 2017 I don't think young Lucas will...

No! Sometimes the forwards must realize that they are just wheel spinning under the heavy load and not actually going anywhere ( besides either losing the ball forward or not releasing) and it needs to get out to open space down the line. It's a 15 man game....no? Sent from my iPhone using...

Good analogy Hugh, however in today's style of play there seems to be too many bulldozers lining up on the track thinking they are F1 cars. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It will be a loss for u20's but my bet is Gilmore will move to defense coach. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is a huge difference between schoolboy rugby and Premier rugby. It does take some time to transition into the grade game and rarely in the first year out of school. 2016 QLD u20's only had 4 selected from the class of 2015 with only 2 being in the regular match squad (Harry Hoopert & Harry...
