Could be a St Edmunds or Padua lad? They are schools that usually have a lot of league players

I see GPS are advertising for a CEO. Paying good money too by the looks of things. Sounds like it was written with someone in mind.
Not sure how a successful playing career with representation at the highest level is relevant to a CEO.

Whatever happened to grassroots footy?
I'm sorry but this is bullshit. Rugby clubs should have volunteering presidents not CEO's.
I am alarmingly worried with what's in store for Brisbane Club Rugby beyond 2014.

Nice spin but incorporated associations cannot have CEOs in the true sense as it restricts the capacity of directors to be paid. That is why most not for profits become companies limited by guarantee as they grow. This is what the QRU became so Terry Doyle could be CEO.

Sorry I am having trouble understanding what you mean? So your in favour of money coming out of the grassroots campaign to feed the fat cat CEO of a amateur sporting organisation.
Terry Doyle CEO of QRU is nothing like PAID FAT CAT of Amateur GPS.

My point is legally they cannot have an employee on the board as an executive director of an incorporated association.
What they do with their money is their business.
I dare say that if so so called fat cat doesn't raise his salary plus after the 1st year then the position will evaporate with the initial start up capital wasted.
We need to be careful we don't stifle clubs being commercially aggressive. If every club is a $1 chook raffle club then eventually they will all disappear the moment they strike any hardship.

That's true, It's their business.
I just thought a club like GPS who already has a fantastic volunteer grassroot campaign would have someone in their clubland who'd step up and do the role for free. They certainly have a passionate brigade of gallopers.

GPS recently voted and approved the merger of the junior and senior clubs into one entity, making it the largest (playing numbers wise) rugby club in the southern hemisphere, I don't know where to get the figures to confirm that but still it is lots of players. Having a professional come in to run the show seems like the right move, I think youll find though that the advertisement was more a formality and the position will be taken by either Anthony Herbert (current club president) or Matt Turner as they both do similar roles currently.

It's interesting seeing Jeeps Gallopers merging with the juniors Ashgrove Emus as they were once called. I thought Easts had the biggest numbers?
Jeeps should have a better year in 2014, with the new coaching appointments. With Ashgrove, Grammar and SPLC XV players featuring heavily in Colts.

That is sooooooooooooooooo good for the game - obviously both clubs have worked hard to facilitate those kids and their Mums (and Fathers)
When you add Albany Creek to the GPS figure, they were once a feeder club, it becomes a huge figure. Also Brothers have just had to find more space to facilitate teams this year in the juniors so rugby is growing.
Back to Premier rugby though. No news on dates for the season? Anyone here high up enough to be in the know?

Feedback I've heard was either a 22 March start OR 5/12 April or something like that. Will know more in the next 7-10 days once the possible Fox Sports deal is completed.
Apparently the QRU are not overly keen on the concept. Doesn't fit in their rugby model. Which is completely understandable.
If it goes ahead, looking at a 23 August start for National Club Comp.
Nobody really knows the criteria to get in or how it will work but it looks like ARU and Super Rugby contracted players will be fed into these clubs to keep them playing at the "next level".
E.g. It could be a Norths jersey on TV, but minimal actual Norths players.
