Plus it will leave 3 teams on 41 points for second place on the table.
Gonna make the last 3 rounds a very intense program for some.

Bit tough for West to back up from tough Saturday game to play Brother who had a bye.
Wests have the bye this weekend so it makes sense. They’re on top at the moment too. 21-13 at the break.

Just went through 2nd grades team list from last week's catch up game. Zac Hough started for Wests and has started tonight for Colts....looks like someone has made a potentially critical error for the bulldogs....
I still don’t see the issue? He would have played colts and then theoretically played reserve grade? Thus playing up not down. Which is permitted?

and hopefully dispensations in place for Gordon and Vaihu - thought they had full Super rugby contracts rather than Academy contracts

They’re under 20. What is the issue?
Sideline Hack
Peter Burge (5)
Players with full Super Rugby contracts (ie not Academy deals) aren’t meant to play lower than 1st Grade without dispensation.

heard that before. But is it a rule or a QRU directive? (which wouldn’t necessarily apply to some rebels youngsters)
Hasn’t fully contracted player Tom Lygnah kicking around in colts anyways?

Peter Burge (5)
In the comp rules - even extends to contracted players playing in reserve grade.
Am assuming UQ applied for dispensation for Tom.

Colts 1 and 2nd Grade are rated at the same level in the QRU 2022 guidelines so unsure how that plays out. This is what the rules state though
"All games wherever possible, in all competitions are to be played in an ascending order. Where this is not possible NO player who has started in a higher grade is permitted to participate (i.e. start / reserve for a lower grade). In the event of games in the same round being played on different days, the selection of players must be the same as if all games in the same round were being played on the same day"

Have faith those that rule will ensure all of this is above board as they have done to Norths and GPS this year Re registrations and suspensions. To their absolute credit Brothers run their own academy and it’s surprising they are not able to match some other clubs in the latter part of the season.
So no issue of colts and 2nd grade are the same issue. Just a former wests now brothers person trying to stir trouble.

I personally don’t see any rule broken when the make up fixtures are not played in correct ascending order. It’s not wests fault that brothers decided to host the reserve grade game before the colts game.
I actually kicked up a stink about this the other week in the premier rugby thread how brothers player Michael Wood played premier grade game against Uni & then in a rain impacted fixture Michael Wood started same round for reserve grade. I said it’s not in the spirit of the game - but oh well… here we are.

Could solve all of this conjecture by one simple rule.
All clubs MUST name and publish ALL teams in Rugby Explorer by 9 am on the Friday before Saturday scheduled games. If a rain postponement occurs then that team is to play as named ( except for injuries / unavailability where a lower grade named player can substitute).
It will still have a few gaps / issues but would be far easier to sort out player eligibility, and would assist at finals time as well

How did wests get 5 points on the table for this win?
They now have 42 points on clear second to UQ and Bond on 41. Easts on 38.
Wests were on 37 before the game was played.
On current form, the run home predictions
Brothers -Easts, Bond, Sunnybank - Filth might only win one of these 51 points on Table
UQ - Bond, Sunnybank, GPS - Uq win 2 of these ( maybe 3) - 51 points (2 bonus point games)
Bond - UQ, Brothers, Easts Bond win 1 of these ( maybe 3) - 45 points
Wests - BYE, Norths, Souths - Wests win 2 - 50 points
Easts - Brothers, BYE, Bond - Easts win 1 ( maybe 2) - 42 points
Such a tight competition will test who can hold their nerve in the close games. Bonus points and upsets will decide who gets to play in finals.

Imagine if UQ loaded up the colts team.
Mac Grealy, Kalani Thomas, Lucas Ripley, and Lachlan Pheely are still eligible for U20.

Assuming Wests got 5 points for 4 try win?
