Brothers v Norths on the weekend. Now let me say from the beginning, these comments are hearsay only, as I was not at the match, so I will be cautious. The game appeared to be a wee bit spiteful with 2 red cards and two yellow cards. One of the red cards (Norths) was for ruffing/throwing a...

I'm too slow....HTC you gun! Will make a comment about the "rumour" I heard from the Brothers Norths game on the weekend.

O'k going early here. Bond at home Vs Norths Brothers are certainly "clearing the way" for Bond as probably Norths best player getting this week to rest (red card). Norths provided a challenge last week, aided by a large penalty count, however at home Bond should easily do this. Bond by...

A much better result again this week. The guys that went for an upset didn't get there own way; even though they went close with Brothers v Norths. All the away teams won on the weekend. Similar outcome in reverse this weekend?? Probably one the easiest weeks with the top 4 playing the bottom...

My Pick's for the week (using Phatmik's format). Easts at home Vs Bond Think the Tiggers will still be licking their wounds from last week. Bond have the travel worries and don't play as well away, but will be too strong. Bond by 22 Souths at home Vs UQ Be a great day at Chipsy Wood...

So Souths have picked up two backs from The Bank?? I think if they picked up two forwards from The Bank that would be a better addition IMO. I quite liked the Souths backs (admittedly they had Moseley and Ngamanu) when Brothers played them, however wasn't fussed about the forwards. Don't think...

Look forward to seeing you there! We will have to have a beer...(I owe HTC one)

Yeah I am fairly forgiving; you have some really good points but they were missing some really good players....so we will have to see. We both agree that they are the danger....that's the important point.

I take your point about UQ. But I don't mean to burst your bubble on UQ but I'm discounting fairly heavily the losses to The Bank and Bond. They were missing the following players: Wallis for Bond game Poncini for both games Horan for both games Hunt for both games Also think a few played...

Oh I forgot, my points required to reach the Semi's is 51.

Nah, I think it will be UQ and Brothers will be the main threat to leading the competition. The Finals, well that's completely another story; form can then go completely out the window. It's making the finals that counts for the crown, then fitness and momentum in the finals.

O'k the other teams: First Souths (since I saw the game). They were o'k; real hungry for the ball, however not the best skills, and poor discipline which I'm sure referees are going to pick up on eventually. With Moseley out for the year, Ferrell playing Prem's and Ngamanu with constant...

^^^^^^ On the above. My take of the teams that I have seen thus far (UQ, Bond, Souths & The Bank), from a Brothers prospective. The best team I have seen is UQ. They have probably the best back row, very fluid #9 & #10 and when they get back Hunt and Meni in the centres that will be a great...

O'k we have completed round 1 of the comp., any opinions of the teams your side have played any further predictions on the semi's and the points required for the semi's??

The tipping. Great week for most of the selections, even though we had quite a diverse of opinion; well it was better than last weeks debacle. 1 (1) HTC ....... 3/4... 18/24 ..(-320 points) - percentage 75% = 2 (2) Sage .........4/4 ..17/24 ..(-274 points) - 71% = 2 (2) Refabit .....4/4...

I know, but would be unsettling for Souths anyways.

Not as good as Refabit......he's a Rooster once again! Tip updates tomorrow. Think we will have two relatively easy weeks, then the fun will start again. Here's another one we can all contemplate. What is the minimum points to make the Semi-Finals this year?? Last year it was 53 points...

I think they are very up and down....remember they do have a number of key players out, most of which will not be back for the season by the looks of it (Moseley and Kalala). So it would be very unsettling for the team and quite a task for the coaches..... they will however provide that dark...

Anyone going out to the games this weekend?? I missed last week (went to NSW Country Championships instead) and have a 70th birthday (not mine...well at least not yet) this weekend. So whoever is going send a report....please.

No from what I have heard he (Slack) is in a dogfight with the ARU and the QRU for that matter, about the support and funding of grassroots rugby. This is against the backdrop of the amount of financial support given to the Super and International players. For mine I support his sentiment and...
