Bond should not have won today. Very lucky.
Dont know what is happening down there but the reserve forwards provide much more in attack and defence than those starting. Some of the starters look very unfit. Lineout was very poor in the first parts of the game. They need the best starting 15 against the top teams. No more 1 point wins after the hooter against them. Bad luck Norths. Result was not fair.
Watched the other games and Norths, Bond Uni, Sths, and Bank are clearly the bottom rung at the moment. Don't have the depth in all positions that the others appear to have.
Watched GPS v Brothers live yesterday and it was a great game. Brothers contained GPS very well in the first half. They were probably unlucky to concede a penalty try for the scrum collapse in the first half but maybe the referee ruled it was deliberate.
Looking forward to GPS v Easts, it will be game of the season.
I don’t think Quade is the one who everyone should be worried about either. Something went down at Souths that caused a mass exodus and thinking that GPS came and ripped everyone out of there isn’t what happened.
I’d be more worried about why Alex Casey left the club.
Jeeps I think you are unfairly critical of QRU Media - who produce a heap of content through the Facebook page and the live streams.
I think you will find its CM - with Jim Tucker's retirement from Rugby coverage you are going to find increasingly less exposure to QPR by the CM.
I am not a Ben Dobbins fan but he is giving coverage every Saturday on Triple M and I am sure Neil Breen on 4BC will also give snippets particularly if Eadts continue their good form.
Bulldog - I am just asking the question. I think its pretty sad that the city's only paper does not publish the results of a significant sporting code being played in that city. The CM is letting us down and deserve to be called out.
I agree but I don't think this is in anyway the QRU's fault - I think Michael Backstrom (completion) & Brendan "Sauce" Hertel (media) do a great work for QPR.
More pressing how confident are you about Easts this weekend?
Across a few points from w/end. (Jeeps v Bros)
Backy was at GPS helping the Refs. Not sure if that was an official QRU role ?
The penalty try was valid. The Jeeps no 8 would have scored if the ref had not blown the whistle.
The Brothers right wing has a mandatory 2 weeks sideline (HIA). Tackle (mid 2nd half) was I think not malicious but first point of contact tacklers shoulder on ball carriers head would have resulted in a yellow or red if played at next level with greater video scrutiny.
One of the most physical club games I have seen in a while but pretty much all clean solid hits.
Good to be back watching club footy.
I’m tipping Easts to get up at home this weekend vs GPS, it will be a cracker.
Not really worried about that result though and I still reckon GPS are front runners for the Premiership though - they’ll be expecting 5 players back from the Reds for finals, a few in some very key positions, so they will get even stronger.
This is the best year for everyone to come backZ
3 years out of a World Cup. No international rugby on horizon. No nrc and shortened super rugby season.
What exactly would you be resting the cattle for?
You just talked about the crappy players not good enough to make the wallabies who will be playing for gpsIs this meant for another thread? It doesn't really have relevance to anything in the above discussions.
