Qld Premier Rugby 2023

[Adam84]

Garrick Morgan has taken over as Director of Rugby at Souths, moving chess pieces to bring in a new Premier Grade coach in 2024 or just taking more of a role within the club?

 

[RugbyReg]

The latter I suspect.

Who was his predecessor in the role? Toutai?

Kef may have bigger fish to fry in 2024.

He has managed to pull together a pretty handy Tongan squad for RWC23.

If they do well at the RWC he may well have coaching options at home and abroad.

As much as I respect Toutai as a player, coach and person - I don't want him anywhere near the Reds in 2024.

I hope he really does well with Tonga and gets a good fulltime gig somewhere.

I will have to agree to disagree - I would love to see what he could do with the Reds.

Some weeks players don’t play like the player named. Others play like the player named every game.

Yup. Eli Pilz certainly did not play like Eli Pilz against Bond

More the case of the Name Withheld turns out to be Prem grade player "returning from injury" in 3rd/4th grade.

That’s being a bit precious isn’t it?

There’s nothing in the rules that says a 1st grade standard player can’t play any lower.

Club culture is built on the top level guys immersing themselves down the grades.

Name withheld has to do with individual players ticking or not ticking a box during the registration process. Nothing more, nothing less.

Are we likely to see the Wallabies Wider training squad members in QPR this weekend? Should be multiple super players floating about as well you’d imagine.
Brothers team could be a scary prospect if Wilson, O’Connor, Flook, Smith, Creighton, James all play

 

[Bulldog]

You won’t get all of them back. I’d be very surprised to see both Wilson and JOC (James O'Connor). I’d say Wilson more likely than JOC (James O'Connor). Wilson just has a greater club(Brothers) ethic. He’d be a very handy in.

Barring injury JOC (James O'Connor), Wilson, Flook and Creighton all playing for Brothers this weekend.

Players have been told today.

 

[Adam84]

Well Australia A vs Tonga is the following weekend, so you figure the guys would get some game time this weekend at least

 

[SouthernX]

This weekend should be interesting but I think July 22nd (rugby championship bye week) is shaping up for a cracker weekend of QPR… imagine there will be wallaby squad members who need game time potentially returning to clubland alongside all the other super rugby talent entrenched in 3rd tier.

With the Junior Wallabies missing out on the World Cup semi-finals, it will be interesting how long it takes for these players to get back to their Clubs. Souths will be very pleased to see HMP, John Bryant, Taj Annan and Trevor King back earlier than expected although they will be disappointed that the Under 20's couldn't go further in the competition, getting extra experience at that higher level.

There’s still u20 footy to be played 5th-8th semi finals with a participation certificate on line

Thanks. I forgot about this aspect of Under 20's World Cup. I was thinking it was like RWC where teams not making finals flyout immediately.

 

[Confucius Say]

Brothers coach making some pertinent points on Clubland about his Wallabies not being allowed to play. I’m sure he’d dearly love them to be playing v UQ.

Interesting, I know for fact there was a players and coaches video session on Monday night and JOC (James O'Connor) was included on the call, expected to play this weekend.

Maybe things have changed since then. Will be disappointed if RA keep promising players and no one ends up turning out.
