I heard from sources, Aiden Toua had another blinder. How long before a Reds call up

Easts forward pack has really laid the foundation for the backs to carve up. With the addition of a couple of good sized props the scrum looks really solid, and they dominated the lineout yesterday. With the good ball put on by the forwards, the backs really did run riot. No Matty Brandon but Andrew Krelle filled in admirably at 10.

That GPS result over Sunnybank is startling given who the Bank had named in their forward pack. Anyone see the game? I'd be interested to know how the Smith twins went against the Bank front rowers.

Dave McDuling has carried his strong reds B form on into the club season - best of the forwards against Gold Coast and good again yesterday against the filth. Big, athletic, aggressive, great ball carry, good hands - he can't be too far off a super contract.

 

[twenty seven]

What position is McDuling playing for club?

 

[spectator]

I would have thought second row but I guess he would go okay at 6. as well. He was one of the standouts for Qld A this season and I would have thought a very big chance of a full contract, if securing depth is what the reds are about.

He'd have to be set for one within the next two years. As Van Humphries, Radike Samo and possibly Wallace-Harrison won't be around for much longer.

 

[tranquility]

He'll get one next year, no doubt about it.

Any word on the Faaingaas supposed move to GPS? Given it's been alleged they weren't paid what was agreed too, I cannot see what the hold up would be. Won't play alot of club footy, but interesting with the other chat coming out from the nest.

 

[RugbyReg]

The Faingaas will be Gallopaas.

Confirmed.

The price of love?

The price of love?

Souths plus CPI adjustment..??

Spent all their money on Quade?

Spent all their money on Quade?

Broke. Bad decision after bad decision.

Love how it's been phrased that they couldn't meet the monetary demands. What about poor management has created a financial situation where we "couldn't pay the agreed amount"?

Ging into Week 5 it's going to be another interesting round of games.

Match of the Round for mine is Uni v Sunnybank. Two good forward packs but I think that Uni might just have it in the backs. They will miss Prior though.

I'm still not sure what to make of GPS? Beat reigning premiers Uni, get smashed by Brothers, then beat previously undefeated Sunnybank...what's that about? Suncoast, from what I saw anyway, have the ability to put on points, so it will be an interesting game. Not sure who I backed in the tipping, but maybe Suncoast?

In the other games, you would expect Brothers to be too strong for the Gold Coast at Crosby Park, Souths to put up a good fight against Easts at home, and Wests to beat Norths at the Kennel.

 

[spectator]

The only result I'm not sure of is Suncoast v GPS but the last I heard was Suncoast was up at half time.

In other results Brothers smashed the Goldie 62-0, Wests got up over Norths, Uni got up 27-7 over Sunnybank, and Easts ground out a 20-5 win at Souths.

GPS got up 15 to 14 over sunny coast
