QLD Colts 2024

UQ Colts 1 coach is gone
Is this the wide known 'Wombat Rugby' on Instagram, he has changed jobs a lot but heard he had a lot of success in recent with the NSW Gen Blue academy before moving over to the UQ colts team, any news on why he has left if this is him? A 5th place finish with a talented roster is not amazing but I'm sure he's not the only one to blame..

Probably a combination of a poor win record considering the talent available, a few eyebrow-raising interactions, and a personality that was considered polarizing at best. Ask people around Uni for their opinion on him and you'll have your answer as to why he's not there anymore.

Given that four eighteen year olds played in the Reserve Grade grand final team and a number of Colts 1 players played in prems and reserve grade through the season, i think we can probably assume it was the coach

Did I read somewhere that the South’s colts 1 coaches have moved to the Kennel for 2025, surely not the same guy who played a prominent role in GF mele?

you did read this correct.
I believe the coach who played w role in the mele isn’t coming for the ride to wests
