Just be careful what you post champ, this isn't me being precious about my club, it's just you posting for a reaction.
And TD someone said Toby White was a slight chance of playing, but doubtful. It'd be great if Jordie Tupou is available. Not sure on Pettowa Parakka's status, we could of used him against GPS, we scrummed well but Grieto isn't up to it around the park, which was to be expected (4th choice?).

A touch precious I think. Bottom line is you want to go into the final round on the back of wins not losses. Based on club results in all grades in the last 2 rounds depth may well be a problem tigerland. I actually hope you win by 8 in a low try scoring game and help the bankers to 2nd spot. Good luck help us out hey. haha.

See I feel although partake is a big lad and offers a lot scrum time I think he doesn't have that big of work rate either but his frame does come in handy intimidation and playing wise. But if tupou and white are available that will be a big help. I think It will be a good game but I will keep my opinion reserved until I see team lists

University's line up has changed so much since the start of the season. Seem to be playing alot of younger boys and doing it with alot of success. Apparently this young winger Tuglai (?) is one to watch for them, still 19?

I have noticed a lot of their colts have been suiting up for first grade as well. I wonder how that effects their final eligibility. Any one know where this togliatti came from?

Taulagi came over from Auckland to play rugby. He played at St Kent's (not sure of the full name?) last year & apparently they won the schoolboys title? He's at Uni because his cousins go to BBC and there's a bit of a relationship there. Good kid, talent +++ but eager to learn from every game. Hell of a work ethic, and I'm not used to seeing players who can attack like that who are also able to defend.
Playing Premier grade doesn't affect your eligibility for Premier Colts; the Premier comp is its own comp & players can go up & down at will. I believe there are restrictions in the Brisbane comp, but that's another story.

Sorry TD- just re-read your question re grades & I answered the wrong bit
It comes down to number of games started (as opposed to off the bench). I think you can't have started more than half the games in a higher grade, and you have to have started the most games in the grade you want to qualify in. You can play up, but not down. That's the gist of the rules as I understand them.
Off the top of my head I can only think of one player who has started a first grade (reserve grade) game, but that happened only once or twice (?). He has come off the bench consistently though, as have many many other Colts boys.

If you're interested you can read the comp rules for Premier Rugby here.

Depth is definitely a problem this year. It has more to do with the coaching structures in place in the middle grades. In the past we have relied on player numbers (player talent as a result) to be consistent over a number of grades. But the lack of proper coaching has meant a player drain over the last couple of years. And then this year alot of players haven't been seen in a while. The coaches try their best but we need new ideas and new voices.

I only mentioned as I thought I saw Ethan brown and Kieran fitzgibbon both play reserve grade.....I only mentioned as I thought colts could only play 3 games in grades before in eligible for colts

He is out for 6 weeks. Shame as his work rate has been good.

I will take the time to learn the comp rules when the Refs take the time to read the games laws.
Can someone from Wests provide some insight into their preparation for this weeks must win game again GPS?
Have they got a full strength side? How have the gone against GPS in round 1 and last year?

Also, time to formulate our own Team of the Season seeing it is the last round?
Few names I'd be putting forward, JP Smith, Kite, Ngaumo, Stollberg, Enever, Buttler, Browning, O'Hare, Freney, Taumata, Brandon, Gillespie, Winkley, Lespiere, Taikato-Simpson, Damon Murphy.
Obviously I can't judge on every team, haven't seen too much of all the teams.

It will be a different team to the one that versed gps last time but I think it is just as strong if they put out the same team as last week. This game will be won up front in the forwards. I imagine that the wests tight five has the gps one's number. BUt we will have to wait and see
