We can move on now Sage 2.The decisions are made. I hope Easts & Uni get up this week but I suspect Souths will beat Easts & I’m sitting on the fence for the major semi

Paice is a top bloke & one of the first you’d have a beer with but a club stalwart he is not! He’s had a fantastic overseas career & I looks forward to him contributing to Souths all year next year. There’s no disputing he played Juniors at Souths & a season of Colts in 2002 but he’s he’s been...

Souths sought dispensation for Paice & Hunt & both were denied.Souths have appealed this & the appeal for both players will be heard this afternoon.

Rhys van Nek is a great Colts player.He’s a Beast & has played Premier Grade already this year.

Poor form from Tucker.How has it backfired?Souths gave Hunt an opportunity to play.Good on them. As for the Paice story,Souths are being pretty cheeky.I realise they lost Maille Ngaumo but when you’ve got Michael Baice playing Reserve Grade & Rhys van Nek,a more than capable Colt they...

I rate Jack Farrell.Who are we dropping out for him?

That’s a pretty handy start! Sef Fa’agase has gone to NZ for the ITM Cup. I reckon Will Slipper would be a chance to replace him.I’d put Sean Farrell in for Matt Faesslee (controversial?) Pat Morrey gets the nod at the expense of either Wihongi or Beauchamp & Landon Hayes in for Jaye...

NRC U19 coaches for 2018 City U19 Head Coach-Damon Virtue Assistant-Kelevi Tuicolo Assistant-Pat Byron Country U19 Head Coach-Grant Anderson Assistant-James McClaren Assistant-Nick Fogarty

I can understand the need to 'share the love' in the first half of the season but at this time of the season, the games that feature the top teams should take preference. GPS have featured in the last 2 'Match of the Round' fixtures which may be why they aren't this week. Like you said though ,1...

Sunia Finefeuiaki has been suspended for 3 games after his hit on Horomia last weekend (I'm not sure if Horomia received a sanction for his part) and Farrell is still out so that helps Sunnybank. I imagine Teti Tela will be back into 12 for the Magpies though

Mathison is moving onto an overseas club,Hong Kong I believe. I disagree about Andersen.His squad is outstanding & he should be under pressure if he’s not already.Plus with Seib being his assistant but the Head Coach of QLD Country,i’d Be surprised if he kept his job in 2019.Totally agree with...

Finals series player eligibility ‘Management Committee requirements for players to be eligible to participate in the finals. (I) A player must have been properly registered with the club no later than six (6) weeks prior to the commencement of the finals. This specifically and strictly applies...

He got a 4 week suspension.I reckon he’s pretty lucky with that.

Can anybody confirm the ban that Jack Farrell got? He was heard on the refs mike calling the ref a cheat in the game against Brothers. I heard that he got 15 weeks but I simply can’t believe that

They all took some time out to holiday in Europe after the U20 tournament

I hear that Junior is out for the season with a shoulder injury too. This would be a major blow for Sunnybank

Looks like a fairly handy team The Whisperer. Personally, I'd throw James Dalgleish in to start with AJ on the bench. Watching AJ on the weekend & against Brothers, I'm not convinced he can manage a game nearly as well as Dalgleish. Any idea on who & when the team for this game will be...

Here’s my take on the form 23 thus far. I have named 3 contracted Reds in the forwards but I’ve watched them play a lot of Premier Rugby this year so I feel they qualify. I also acknowledge that Conrad Quick has moved to the ITM cup but he did play every game of the first Round. I apologise to...

I watched it.Uni lost their 10 & 13 on the day before the game which must've had some impact. Uni's lineouts were atrocious.I stopped counting after they lost 10 lineouts.If they can fix this,then they'll be a serious threat but if they can't I can't see them winning any finals games.The...

Filth,any idea if the Tupou brothers will play finals due to the games taking place on Sunday's?I believe they missed the UQ game on a Sunday due to religious reasons.
