Much better game than what I’ve seen so far this competition . Goes to show the more they play the better they get. Aussie players simply don’t play enough games. Well done to both sides so far

And we continue the shit show we are in. Trim up head office, cut head office wages, forget the nrl stars. The solution it’s really not that hard, the action’s however are. You just need hard nosed business operators . Heaps of companies go thru this all the time. It’s going to be a hard 5 year...

@RugbyReg one area we could replicate is their development through the grassroots, they are amazing at that. Yes we don’t have the money to throw at development officers but we need to be so much better. The local primary schools in Brisbane 10-15 years ago had Ozkick everywhere and it was a...

I posted on the u16/19 thread that the basic skill level of the u19’s was poor. Others were suggesting the younger teams had this same deficiency. This poor skill level goes right up through the super rugby teams to the Wallabies. Watching Portugal play in the World Cup was a delight with their...

Geez the basic skills of some of our best u19 players are poor, bad passes, dropped balls, kicks charged down, crooked line out throws. You wonder what sort of coaching these players have received through junior levels. Maybe centralisation is needed to provide better coaching from a young age...

His oil is normally absolutely spot on.

Are Norths going to deliver the same tripe in 2024? It’s depressing they can’t seem to improve especially as every side maybe except for Bond seems to have a few ex Norths or Norths juniors players. Brothers is stacked with them thru colts and seniors.

I heard Matt Burke interviewed the other day and he emphasised how important goal kicking is. He got us home in 1999 and it will be the same this year. Donaldson hit the ball beautifully today , can someone just teach him how to tackle!!!

3- donaldson 2- Tupou 1- Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase)

Pretty happy with that as a first up effort, some good individual performances out there. Good to see some synergy between Carter and Donaldson. Also great to have points ticking over with the penalties. Donaldson hit the ball sweetly. Onwards and upwards.

Nooooooooo

Very little chat atm about injuries being sustained at training unlike last year when the players were dropping like flies. I wonder what has changed this year with training? Less contact?

I thought I read somewhere that Harry Wilson was with The Baa Baas. Did he have a weekend off to get over his Mad Monday?

If was bloody hard to get a beer @The Nomad during and just before the game. New stand looks great , just need to sort out the eastern side if this is to be become a boutique stadium. Looks very sad with missing seats and no one in it.

The ref was fine he actually let a few things go but fair to both sides. Honestly couldn’t see the last play from where I was sitting however with the assistant ref close by happy enough it finished that way.

@Adam84 had a blinder

The game seemed to get better the longer it went, it was a great atmosphere out there.

Tim Ryan is a young gun, plays way above his size. A big off season in the gym and he could be anything. Wests will seriously regret not taking the 3 points twice in the last 10-15 minutes, I think they lost both line outs when they went to the sideline. Interestingly Brothers hardly ran any of...

@RugbyReg what is the plan for the Eastern Stand at Ballymore? Is this being rebuilt as well?
