Not sure what Moorabbin have in P2 but I watched Melbourne trounce Quins last week and they looked a very good team with a number of guys that have played a fair bit of 1st Grade over their careers so I reckon they will be very hard to beat. And that is not even counting if their P1 doesn't make it through and they pick up some other players dropping back.

Masters is Power House vs Souths.

Game of the day right there, those sort of games usually get the loudest cheers.
Agreed. They are always fun.
Forgot to mention; both teams get to clap on the first-grade sides. That will be one hell of a thrill too.
No doubt some good work was done by Craig McGrath to help organize this match and probably helped by others too. They were originally slated to play at Kiwi, but then the last minute change.

Not a bad wee team there.
Not saying it's a team that'll push the NRC boys (assuming the Pros are played and play at full intensity) but there'll be at least two or three in there looking to make a point to the Rising coaches.

Yeah, it's been commented on before that there are some who don't have the Pro ambitions.
But maybe there are a couple of guys like Isiah Leota who don't feel the same way that Gus does.

Yep, highly likely that some players in the Axeman squad hold ambitions of playing pro-Rugby. And good on them too.
I know Gus is a full-blown Architect now, so is probably focusing his energy on that. Also, he seems to be a model for the coolest moustache in Melbourne.

Valetini didn't play in the GF due to injury, didn't play in any of the Finals - so I am guessing that will be keeping him out - surprised he was listed in Axemen for that very reason.

Yep, NEC Green Rockets have picked him up.

Keisuke Yamada has signed for NEC? Good for him!

He's Japanese, and without insulting Yamada's undeniable skills, the fact he does not count in their capped number of foreigners makes it far easier to get a contract.

He has been in Melbourne for a number of years right? I wouldn't have guessed he had professional aspirations, unless his work away from Rugby also made him an attractive option for NEC and he is a part-timer?
