Personally I think it's great that Logan will join Premier Grade, the more teams we can have the better for the future of QLD rugby. They will not struggle to get players, and personally I'm excited at the prospect of their colts side considering the catchment they are in.
Those who think that the QLD rugby talent pool isn't deep enough to have more premier teams, you only need to see the calibre of players playing reserve grade at their clubs. I have listed some below;
Prop: Daniel Anae (Sunnybank), Josef Horomia (Easts), Pat Fepuleai (Uni)
Hooker: Sean Fell (Easts) Tom Mellor (Sunnybank) Bart Ritchie (Norths), Jake Lyon (Brothers)
Locks: Andrew Gentles (Sunnybank) Sam Reiser (Uni) Declan Dinnen (Souths)
Backrow: James Su'a (Easts) Api Naibo (Norths) Jack Cornelsen (Uni) Charlie Freney (Brothers) Richard Skelton (Brothers) Jonathan Kalauta (Souths)
Halfback: Vitori Buatava (Bond) Simon Gregg (Easts) Tom Christie (GPS)
Fly-Half: Dion Taumata (Bond)
Centre: Simon Bartley (Easts) Jeremy Skelton (Brothers) Luke Ferry (Wests) Will Shipperley (Brothers) Jason Tomane (Sunnybank)
Wing/Fullback: Isaiah Mosese (Brothers) Rika Batibasaga (GPS) Gus Qasavakatini (Bond)
Very handy players whom have all played a fair amount of premier rugby. Plenty of names not on there either. Plenty of depth in QLD rugby, let the QPR expansion keep rolling!!

What are people's thoughts on Brothers going deep into the finals. Greene seems like he will play at 15 with Dallan Murphy back into the fray this next week. Returning Reds in Tupou, Talakai, Tui with return members Postal and Payne. That will be one impressive back line behind what will be an enormous yet skilful forward pack.

Bond were never in the hunt really. Their scrum performance is ... (hard to find anything non-derogatory to say about it).
UQ have a very small pack this year. Who's missing?

What happened there King?
Strachan is still playing for Sunnybank - did Wests not offer him enough or did Sunnybank offer more to keep him?

Something like 8 Prem grade players and a heap of res/1st grade players are competing in a tournament in Hong Kong. Left before the GC game.
There would be very few players in QPR who were born before Samo was playing pro rugby.
Easts v Norths
Location: David Wilson Field
Kick-off: 3:20pm
Norths will be looking for a hatrick of victories when they travel to Coorparoo to play Easts. The visitors are on a roll, convincingly beating Bond University before the Easter break and carried that momentum into Round 3, securing a 19–17 victory over Wests. The Tigers head into the match off the back of a two-week bye, and they will be hoping that the extended break will help them claim their first victory of 2016.

Bros might have Lukhan Tui on the bench for tomorrow.
We'll need him as GPS will be tough to beat at home. They're always strong at Yoku Rd.

Several University lads were away for the Hong Kong 10s with King's College.
Ended up taking team of the tournament, and were held to the Bowl semi through rotten draw luck - beaten twice, both teams went to the final.
Wakely, Vaessen, Potgieter, Cornelsen, Gibson, Jock Campbell from Premier Grade all started.
Campbell in particular would have been a share shout for player of the tournament - electric in counter and incredible in defence as fullback.
I believe he was handed a few business cards from interested clubs in France.
This was before Mitch Third was confirmed to be leaving the club for Bond.
Jake wanted to start for a Premier Grade side and was thoroughly blocked at Sunnybank before both obstacles vanished.
Once he was starting there was no reason to leave, much to Wests disappointment.
That's a big group of players to have out at any stage of the season but all to leave in the same week would be very disruptive.
