Looking at Rugbyxplorer app and the team lists

Duncan P will be turning out for the eagles as he has been named on the bench. Have not spied any other reds yet playing club footy on Saturday whom are playing tonight.

I’m sure UQ would be hoping for some late inclusions .
Any rules regarding changes to the team list , as in how late can it be changed ?

Is Kirwan Sanday injured for Easts? He can’t seem to stay on the field. I noticed he didn’t have his Reds academy contract renewed this year. I’m guessing due to his injuries, cause whenever he is fit he seems to get picked in good sides.

 

[Adam84]

I thought Kirwan Sanday had gone across the ditch

Edit: I’m thinking of Richie Asiata

[Echidna]

Is Lachlan Connors still at Bond Uni? Saw they just fell short today.

 

[PhilClinton]

GPS game was fairly uninspiring in sloppy conditions. To Norths credit they hung around but GPS just had heaps of possession and should have probably put some more points on. North’s have some handy players but execution lets them down, some really bad individual decision making in attack cost them a few tries. One winger in particular bombed about 3 by making the wrong decision which would have made for a closer game.

 

[EagleTown]

No chirping from Shaw Road this week?

Oracle?

anyone?

The hallowed blue wall was up again and without their talismanic Red - Duncan.

Can someone from the Bank explain whats happening there?

Since Seib left, the place has gone to the shitter.

 

[Rugby King]

Can anyone tell me the rules about coaching by the runners?
I was watching the Wests v Easts Premier Grade game, the runner who was up and down the sideline all game was wired up and giving instructions to players. At times even running on to give tips. Didn’t see if he had “runner” on his shirt but he was carrying a water bottle that was offered to players. He was yelling to the defence and on several occasions ran on and gave the fullback instructions and then ran off. The Easts coach was even standing next to the upright at times.

We weren’t allowed to do this when coaching juniors so surprised it can be done at the Premier grade. You had to wear a bib and were only allowed on at certain time.

Surely it’s not now like league we’re the runners like Alfie are out there coaching on field??

 

[PhilClinton]

I don’t know the specific laws about it but unless they are proving to be an actual distraction or interfering with the play then I wouldn’t think it was a huge issue. I can’t think of any times as a player or coach where a runners message has been the difference between winning or losing a game.

Easts coaches position themselves down one end on the tryline and stay there the whole game, Souths I think seemed to do the same the other week when I saw them at Easts. The water boys carrying instructions are commonplace in Super Rugby - David Pocock was the water boy for the Brumbies last night and Tana Umaga for the Blues, pretty sure they are not just there for their abilities with rehydrating players. With coaches all miked up these days they just carry messages on where the weaknesses that need to be fixed are or what tactics need to be used.

 

[Rugby King]

Well if they do it Super Rugby it must be OK is suppose

Just wondered if it was acceptable

The Souths coaches have been positioning themselves behind the dead ball line for years now, at a dozen years since I first noticed. Always at the southern end at Chipsy Wood. It's the best place to watch tactically

Agree best place to watch

BEHIND THE DEADBALL LINE.

 

[Adam84]

I've played under a couple of coaches over the years who watch the game from down near the try-line, some because they like to view but other because they wanted to get away from the crowd

I agree

I did that. But I. Ever walked up to the posts as the Marshall told me where to stand.

I never had the luxury of wired “waterboys” but get that this is the way of the professional game

Uni won convincingly as did your beloved GPS - the Eagle underdogs went as expected but as I said they will surprise a few teams and that’s already happened once. How’d Logan go??

Can you please stop your noble crusade for a sec and help figure out whats happening at Sunnybank?

‘trolling’ too much takes the focus away from issues that should be discussed.
