Karmichael Hunt has been cleared by the ARU to return to the REDS. 4 game supension (already served) and a 10k fine.
Hard to imagine Brad Thorn flying him over to Capetown this weekend. Can we expect him to turn out for the Eagles instead?
It's the very least he could do for the rugby community in Queensland, he should dive headfirst into club rugby like Quade has
Not excusing the 2, but Karmichael and JOC (James O'Connor) were never club players and had no club to be loyal to.
Quade cut his teeth (or is it teef?) with Souths.

Finals
(Prems) 2017; 2016; 2015; 2014; 2013; 2012; 2011 (2011-13 adjusted for Sunshine Coast)
1st => 13.6: 15; 15; 13; 16; 12; 12; 12;
2nd => 11.4: 12; 11; 12; 13; 11; 10; 11;
3rd => 10.7: 8; 11; 10; 14; 11; 10; 11;
4th => 10.0: 9; 8; 9; 12; 11; 10; 11;
But there is a recent downward trend in the number of wins required to secure the 3rd or 4th spot.
Which suggests that the competition has got more competitive.
