GPS 7 tries to 2 over the bank, dominant in the first half and then it slowed up a bit, bank did well to score some late tries. I’m told easts beat norths 5 tries to 2?? Makes for an interesting round 1 in a fortnight’s time.

Looking forward to seeing our young troops take on an improved bank tomorrow, the comp really needs the bank to be competitive. Brothers v Uni will be a good match up, I reckon Uni will be too strong based on what I’ve seen from both sides. Souths v wests should be interesting, both teams...

UQ over GPS today 6 tries to 3 (may have missed 1 or 2 tries?) UQ looked pretty good, much older than our younger side and it showed. My souths fan tells me they beat easts & my wests man tells me norths beat them. This season promises a lot based on this (yes trial form though). Gee Easts V...

I agree with all comments here - I hope for the players in question this is correct as their ceilings are quite high, but there is talk out of souths they will stay, I really hope they drop back to colts (not against GPS) and are allowed to develop at the appropriate rate. I can tell you the 1st...

Easts and GPS lost a lot of 20 year olds from last year, I'm not so sure about Tigers being favorites - they got very lucky in a lot of games last year, having older players certainly helped them. We have 5 up in premier grade squad currently, we're not sure how many we will see back though. I...

I hope I'm right, otherwise that makes for an awkward dinner table... GPS vs UQ (and Dalby) this weekend should be interesting, what are the other games? Souths v Easts? Wests v Norths? Brothers v Bond? Bank?

I'm fairly sure it is his uncle who is the coach. Sounds like he was promised the world of 1st grade has been given an atlas, Easts are not short of locks in their top squad either, I'd imagine he would have started at Wests in 1st grade as well going by the team they published on the weekend...

Any results from yesterdays trials GPS were well beaten by Brothers, pretty even to begin with before brothers pulled away, not our strongest side to be fair, but well done to brothers. I did hear Norths beat Souths in a good contest yesterday, with norths looking pretty threatening for most of...

I agree on this - a full contract would mean you may be required to play at some stage during the super season, which would mean you should be playing QPR as this is the next tier below super. I struggle with some of the academy contracted players, especially the ones who played for QLD 'A'...

I wouldn't be too critical of Norths just yet, agree that the 'everyone pilfers our players' chat gets a bit old. To be fair up until recently their merry go round of 1st grade coaches who were out of their depth probably played a massive part in various walk outs over the years, but they look...

My tiger man informs me that Easts prems squad are off to straddie for a long weekend, where they've been told there won't be any rugby equipment packed. A long weekend with an extended rugby squad on the beers...what could possibly go wrong? To be fair at my age, that weekend sounds like a dream.

I was certainly out-scrumed by Meat at Billys over christmas.

To be fair to souths, I thought the young lauries bloke who was playing 9 in 1st grade was a better player than Kalani at that stage, I actually take my hat off to souths for sticking with him and not folding with the pressure to play Kalani. To be honest I think there's 4/5 QPR 9s who are...

Just based on the cattle they had last year on paper and their progression or lack of really jumped out at me. The semi final was probably the culmination of that with their set piece especially (front row dangling in the air on several occasions, one a member of the reds academy) , and this...

For the sake of the competition, I really hope this isn't true. He played a bit of 1st grade at the bank and would expect he would most likely start this season as well as having played juniors there, I would have thought Josh Afu as 1st grade forwards coach would be a great mentor for Sam. I...

Hard to go past Nick Baker at GPS, was very influential for us last year, but he will need to rise again with a younger group this year. Braydn O'Sullivan the IGS #9 is at yoku and is an exciting prospect. Doubtful we will see Floyd in colts this year. A large BBC contingent at Souths will be...

What's the good word in Colts land post new year? Most clubs are back at it this week, any movement or arrivals of note? I'm super excited to see how this seasons comp pans out based on what I saw last year. I'm tipping an even tighter comp this year with Souths and Norths to be the big...

I believe he will be a bulldog as he is close with the Gordon boys, but I believe there are some other brothers folk heading 'round the corner' though.

GPS as per program for coaching staff at this stage. It'll be interesting to see if Mowen will still be at Easts in a years time with all of these promises of development...what's the market for him being in the Brumbies set up (not as Head Coach just yet) though when McKellar moves on at the...

I also know Kelevi quite well from his playing days at GPS before he migrated to the filth. He isn't the type of guy who comes and goes, he invests well wherever he is. I look at how Brothers moved him around from 1st grade, back to colts, back to whatever his role would have been for next year...
