That is exactly what Norths should be. Was it not in the 80s that Teachers-Norths merged with Redcliffe to become Colleges and subsequently Norths?

Wouldn’t there be a large Polynesian diaspora up that way? Surely an attractive catchment for Norths at the very least. Norths could host junior carnivals for clubs from Caboolture, Sunshine Coast, etc so that juniors from the region can have an affiliation with the Eagles.

Caboolture should be a feeder club to Norths. Maybe Norths should take one game a year up there. Maybe they could play Bond (I.e. not full compliment of games) up there.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Bond put in a Bunter Bowl challenge as they will rate themselves a good chance against the Tigers at home. I think the last two year have finished with winning tries in the last play of the game. So expect another classic encounter at the pond.

Some interesting games this weekend. Can Bond secure their first win in their first game at home or will Easts continue their good start to the season. The match of the round will be the battle of the birds at the nest as Souths take on Norths - two sides who have impressed in the first two...

At the end of the season it is not just about getting points it is also about denying your opponents competition points. Early season wins are so crucial, and with no disrespect to the Tigers probably even more so for Easts coming off a poor 2024. If they can secure a win over Bond this weekend...

Agreed they would both have got 3 points, and a draw would have also denied Easts of 2 points. If any club has ambitions to make the semis in any grade then they need to beat all the sides in the bottom 4 twice accumulating as many BPs as possible and secure two or three wins over the top 3...

I really thought that Wests would have converted one of those late chance (there were multiple) yesterday - it does seem that Wests have struggled to win close games over the last couple of seasons notably the last two grand finals.

Big Mass might get a warm welcome back at Bottomley!!

Any word on when they might play the lower grades catch-ups?

The other reason RVN was instrumental in getting the Brumbies home last Friday against the Highlanders. I think it was 4 scrum penalties and 6 really strong carries in about 20 minutes off the bench.

Easts approach of only playing one game on their main pitch seems sensible. I suppose that if premier grade game goes ahead it has to be on main oval due to Stan commitments.

We are nearly there - Round 1 Wests v Bond Uni v GPS Easts v Norths Souths v Snbk Bros Bye

Re Garrick you just never know what’s going on so we should not be quick to judge without knowing all the facts.

Norths v Uni is interesting result

Yes it was Peter Francis not Phil White both good Souths men

Souths problems don’t simply revolve around what happens with or who coaches their premier grade side in 2025 - hope Rama does a great job - they need a whole club fix and premier grade is just a part of it.

Absolutely. Dammers approach was to blood kids who he took to Colts success and bare short term pain for long term gain. When he got the chop they were on the verge of becoming a top 4 side and this is where they sat under Morgan’s reign. From a total outsider with no vision - I think it is...

Doubles and Camo will be turning in their graves.

It was a good game of rugby.
