Refer to my comments from last week - they're no slouches. Picone puts 'his' players in 1st Grade rather than colts (well in the GPS days he did). Look a bit closer at the set up in colts at shaw road. Awesome day of rugby out at Albany Creek. I was a bit nervous when I heard reds players had...

GPS v Brothers Wests v Easts Souths v Norths Sunnybank v?? Prems playing Gungahlin from Canberra in Noosa not sure who colts play? UQ Bond???

With the banks fields being closed and games cancelled, I decided that Dalby with 3rds/4ths was a bit far to go, so I headed out Sylvan Road. I have to say Wests main oval is looking mint! Hopefully the rain and foot traffic hasn't done too much damage, but well done to wests. Colts looked...

Some good young players there yes, but from what the old guard there tell me (divide by 1.5 at times) there's plenty of unrest in the playing group and a result having to rely on very young players to step up into the top grades which has caused problems below that. The old guard still blame GPS...

Most newstar players seem to be in Japan by the bucketload as I'm sure the commission dollars make it in agents best interests, not sure what players would be at Norths anyway. Good luck to them, we've had the Newstar thing before at Yoku with mixed results - our premiership came post newstar...

Any indication on what clubs the various school masses are gravitating towards? I know we've been hit hard by the majority of MCA boys going to either Brothers or RL. I would assume the Churchie crew are all down at Tigerland, lots of BBC boys at UQ etc. what about the others?

At GPS we have lost Abele to Newcastle Shute Shield Team, AJ Alatimu to MLR, pending travel restrictions and I understand Jono Kent may have also moved on.

Expecting Souths to slide big time this year, hearing they’re battling with numbers and a tug of war with premier grade coaches. I hate to say it but Norths of all places actually has the strongest coaching group, not sure how they’ll go with players though.

Let's just settle down a bit here "The King". Firstly Nicky Hunt who finished in 02' (making him 33) has not just signed with Australian 7s. That is in fact Nicky Price who finished at Nudgee in 2008. Nigel Hunt was in grade 9 in 2007 and only ever managed to play 4ths in grade 12. Craig Hunt...

Stevo! Welcome back. Thought you'd gone missing. Fair to say this story seems like it has more holes in it than the wallabies defensive line. Just because someone leaves a club all of a sudden money is spoken about? You can't tell me that there's QLD reds players who aren't being topped up by...

The final 4 has been decided. 1. UQ 2. GPS 3. Sunnybank 4. Wests Congratulations to Wests on a great turn around in 12 months. For those thinking easts are still in the hunt please read below. Basically Wests go through regardless of the outcome of this weekends games because they have...

I missed you Stevo. Couldn't deprive you any longer by hogging all the posts

On an unrelated topic to Shane Arnold, can anyone clarify the requirements of a rugby clubs information they must provide to its members at a years end? I was told a QPR club was recently unable to provide a financial report due to an apparent projector malfunction, I guess the printer was...

I think they'd have to be favourites to go back to back. Bulldog, how are your Bulldogs looking for next year? Will you have the talent to match that impressive looking new setup?

Lawson Creighton to Brothers?? When did that happen? Huge loss for Norths there. Dave Sheehan was chasing him heavily here at GPS. Kid can play. Interesting move considering the fly halves he's stuck behind (Murphy, Hunt, James) Great pick up for Brothers Colts

I believe there is an issue with one of the Ballymore grandstands. The Brisbane roar looked to host a soccer game there due to the global tens being at Suncorp but can't due to the grandstands. Wonder if this is the reason? To be honest, gives it more of a club rugby feel being at the club...

Great to see some QPR players getting a shot with Australian 7s in Connor Mitchell (Uni), Alex Gibbon (Norths) and Sam Caslick (Wests) Along with another two Josh Coward and Liam McNamara (both Sunnybank). I dare say there's a few more who could make the jump. Just wondering what happened to...

Ashgrove Galloper. Very impressed with your fairy tale attempt there, however not true at all. Shungmao yeah great point, just thought Aus 7s had already named their contracted players that's all

I see Liam McNamara, Connor Mitchell, Alex Gibbon and Sam Caskick all named in the Australia 7s team for Fiji this weekend. Have they all signed on for Australia 7s or just on trials? I know Mitchell has signed in but have the others too? Wasn't Gibbon recently posted on norths facebook page as...

Steve Steve Steve, Every club would be making moves on players from other clubs. That's what player recruiting is about. Trying to entice players to other clubs to either a) better their own team or b) give someone an opportunity. So I have no doubt that Souths are making moves on forwards.
