Anyone get out to any of the trails being played last week end? Any news or stories developing from them?

Ben Gunter (Panasonic Wild Knights) Mitch Palm (Reds/Wallabies) Trevor Hosea (Melb Rebels) Mason Gordon (Melb/Reds) Harry Mc - Phillips (Reds) Lachlan Shaw (Brumbies) Xavier Savage (Canberra Raiders) Hookers from recent years Sean Farrell and Jake Tierney come to mind.

Lets hope that Norths can fire this year and we see something like Sydney has been the last few years where various clubs make it to the big dance. Concentration of talent and results into a chosen few does not make for a good comp or the development of additional players to be able to step up.

All clubs have recruited heavily outside the brisbane area , mostly NZ.

I think from what I am hearing that UQ have lost heaps through injury, retirement and moving on.

Ask Browny.

He is building quite a resume of yellow card offences. Les Kiss needs to find some way or someone to instil far better discipline or it will cost them in the crunch games.

Always nice to spend other peoples money I guess

apparently the young hooker Wiggins is heading back to UQ where he played as a colt.

Oates boys, Jethro Felemi and Tierney I know of. Who else are your jungle drums beating about?

It does but sometimes too many cooks and too many ideas becomes destructive. Rugby is a simple game played by PLAYERS. Coaches predominantly set up the environment for them to perform. Recently you will see most teams with coaching groups of 5, 6 or 7 people. (Head Coach, attack coach, set...

While twiggy spends more money off the field than on the field / player development the force will keep getting more of what they have done for the past 20 years.

Reckon he will be a great coach or mentor for all the young backs heading to UQ.

So can anyone turn up, pay a membership and get a game? They are businesses that run to an accountants model.

Brad Twidale - very handy and under rated No 10 (sometimes 12).

Only a couple?
