He is always welcome at Brothers.
From what I understand he has GPS down as his club again this year which would make for an interesting situation if both Will and Fris were available to play over the next couple of weeks!Fairly sure with Sunny Coast being removed from the Premier Comp it meant Genia had to find a new club, although I doubt he would have thought he'd be playing for them so soon! I'm guessing either Norths or Wests.
EDIT: To the above comment regarding going 'back' to Wests. I thought someone mentioned on here a while back that Will has never actually had any association with the Bulldogs. His clubs went GPS, Norths, Manly (under the Sunny Coast banner). Which makes me think he'd be with Norths.

He played colts at GPSI believe wests is down at his club. Will has played for the dogs previously and was down at wests for colts before moving to GPS
Heather, you mentioned the lights upgrade for field 5A, was that specifically for the rugby or for other purposes such as track and field?
This is a great idea, and well done Brothers and Norths. Wouldn't be great if every team(Bond Uni maybe excluded) took a game to the country area every year. I know Wests have got quite a few Toowoomba boys, maybe they should consider going up there once a year for a game.News that on July 5th, the Brothers vs Norths grudge match will be hosted by the Roma Rugby Club, with the curtain raiser being the Darling Downs A Grade match between Roma Echidnas and USQ Saints.
Here is the release from North Brisbane Rugby Union:
"Exciting news with the Round 15 Premier rugby local derby between Brothers and Norths being announced that the game will be played in Roma.
The game to be played on Saturday 5th of July at Bassett Park, Roma and will be Brothers "home game".
Brothers have put in a huge amount of work to make this happen and have worked closely with the QRU, Roma rugby, Roma Council and major sponsor Murphy pipe and civil, Avmin Air Charters.
Maranoa Regional Council Mayor Rob Loughnan backed the big game and said this was a great opportunity for the people of Roma to witness rugby at its best, and in the process help raise funds for the local Echidna Rugby Club.
“South West Queensland doesn’t often get a chance to see a live game of this calibre being played in front of them, and I think it will also go some way in enhancing the relationship between regional and metropolitan rugby,“ Mayor Loughnan said.
It is set to be a massive day with several lunches and functions organised, a crowd of between 4000 and 5000 is expected on the day.
The Premier team will fly to Roma on the Saturday morning and will return later that night after the post game function.
Information on a supporters trip will be available shortly"
This is a great opportunity for Rugby to show its worth in the Downs and hopefully could lead to regular matches in regional areas. Maybe even a Country side or two in Premier Rugby.
