Crusher, why is there a lack of depth at Bond? I am genuinely curious as I thought the local comp was fairly strong down there?

Eagle, I was referring to your friend Mr Ryan rather than the people you are referring to - sorry mate, name dropping really isnt my thing. in regards to my previous comment, you might think it is ordinary but you cant say i am wrong. I am going to pull an old move from my year 8 english class...

Life's actually pretty good at moment thanks Eagle, better than I suppose you're doing as you keep trying to light up the names of people that noone has heard of? You must be a player manager or good family member. These blokes might be Premier Grade players in your loving eyes but sadly they...

For a bloke who got the sack from the second worst club in Brisbane, Chris Ryan and the fans of these reserve graders from Norths get a lot of mentions on this forum or they must run a few accounts on here IMHO GPS dont tend to look outside of their own when it comes to coaches. You only need...

Why is this forum being used to talk up two reserve graders?

what exactly does a rugby manager do? I could be wrong but half of the teams you listed havent won a premiership in the last 5 years (Bond GPS Wests Sunnybank - I could be wrong with that one). its a bit steep to pur Broad in there too, hasnt he only been around for a couple of weeks? Regarding...

Sorry TOCC i didnt mean for it to seem like I was biting back, its definitely a fair point to ask but I think in light of the recent monotony of the top four in recent years the comp needs a shake up like this.

maybe they've got good burgers and chips? seriously who cares, the comp needs a more competitive Norths and Wests. Are we going to sit around and pretend that some of the money from the sports club at Sunnybank didnt spill into the rugby club?

Wests caught sleeping at the wheel there. Nice new clubrooms and grandstand though.

There was also a Souths old boy playing for Northland off the bench last night - Howard Siloto and former GPS player Phil Kite who started at prop too.

That Dammers magic kicking in strong again, leading GPS to another mid-table finish

The blame being passed onto the coaches seems fair enough. Despite a strong base of players, who has Byron/Mooney gone out and recruited? The apparent 'sit and wait' recruitment strategy employed by Wests is madness considering the strong year they had last year. Van Humphries or Dammers...

TGB are you aware of the trouble brewing at Shaw Road?

I'm hearing about big changes that are about to happen at Shaw Road - Can you shed any light TGB?

TrainerGB, are the rumours true that Norths managed to get Jerome Niumata to head up from Canberra?

Tai McIsaac will probably head to Norths with all the other 100s of premier grade players allegedly going there. So not only are the players going to be annoyed but I think the coaches are going to be a bit annoyed too ;)

Eagle, Does it matter how many clubs he's been at? How many finals or grand finals have the blokes you mentioned been involved in? Surely having an NRC affliated player outweighs any negative you might offer. You and Scrumdoctor seem slighted by the fact that Norths are getting in new blokes...

I've heard that Norths have been looking interstate for talent as well, namely shute and dewar shield? Can anyone confirm this?

Yeah, that's true but my issue is that rugby gets one chance a week to showcase its product (im not counting the livestream - thats for the diehards) and thats what gets rolled out?

Defence tonight has been absolutely pathetic. It shouldnt matter that some of these guys are part timers, some of the tackling and defence has been very, very mediocre.
