There are discounts for players coming through a Club's Junior and Colts programmes and there are discounts for long-service at one Club.
Qld Premier Rugby 2023
- Thread starter RugbyReg
- Start date
wouldn't it be like the Japan league and their limitations on foreign players? One week Kerevi is rested, the next its McMahon. Just every week each team could only have 100 points playing.

Sounds like the type of thing that should be organised at the start of the season with players distributed to different clubs rather than halfway through the year

You do realise it’s 2023 don’t you.

Haven’t seen Wests name their team yet but I expect Easts will bounce back tomorrow to retain top spot on the ladder.
GPS by 8 over Sunnybank
Bond look depleted but should beat UQ
Souths will be too well coached for Brothers

Some really good match ups this week.
Wests vs Easts
Souths vs Brothers
Games of the rounds. Could go either way

My 5cents:
UQ - with Campbell out and Stowers in at 10 expect the backline to be clunky, after the win last week the Students spirits will be up.
Brothers - this will be a game of experience v youth in the halves, which is the reason I think Brothers take this game.
East - without seeing the West lineup I still think East have more battle tested players and have played more rugby together as a team. West seem to struggle with cohesion which is not surprising considering the high number of player movements.
Sunnybank - a lot to like about how SB have played the last few weeks, GPS like playing direct footy which makes this is a winnable game for the Bankers if they can control their discipline.

Wests lineup looks really strong to me. Probs the strongest I've seen this year.

There might be a chance Werchon or Paddy James has a run, but I don't think they'd risk anyone else backing up at this stage.

I'm surprised Werchons haircut passed the Brad Thorn test. It's a shocker!

Its when I knew Thorn had given up (letting Werchon get around with a chop like that)

Tread lightly. You should be backing your sunny coasters.

Brothers playing like a team and Souths playing individual.

Depends which side of the fence you sit.
Seeing the teams on paper and the number of wests players contracted to rebels vs easts pro contracted players (zero) you would have thought Wests would win easily and at home. Great result

To be fair I did pay tribute to the Tigers - “Easts just wouldn’t go away and probably deserved the win”.
