Qld Premier Rugby 2024

[Confucius Say]

Very tough form guide. Compass points are to blame.

Wests have now lost two on the trot.
Easts have now won three on the trot. After losing first 3.
Souths have fallen away.
Norths are just disappointing their fans.

Norths are just disappointing their fans.

Not sure why you tipped them.

Souths are an interesting one at the moment… 1st Grade have reportedly spent a large portion of the clubs nest egg to be back in the disappointing category & the rest of the club is struggling! There is a top 4 team there, have not played like it lately.

But more of a worry is that Souths depth over the last few seasons has dwindled to be a concern… yesterday their 4th grade got hammered by the bank.
They have an interesting end of round 1 as a full club.

Probably based on Norths being due for a win and being at home where they drew with Sunnybank and had a close one with Bond (who beat GPS 2 weeks back). Thought they’d be fresh and firing after the bye.

Easts Prem grade shirts with the subtle light blue stripes inside the dark blue stripes might be the best looking ones in the comp.

Hope they gave the designer free tins for the year.

Have heard there is an interesting power dynamic happening at South’s currently with several of the club major sponsors aligning with Morgan specifically, whilst some of the club personnel aren’t exactly happy with the way 1st grade is being run at the moment.

Lots of Souths supporters on this forum who are more plugged in than me so maybe they can confirm or deny.

Whilst the 1st grade has struggled in the last couple of weeks, with two games remaining in the first half of the season, Souths are in the top 4 in 1st grade, top 4 in 2nd grade, just out in 3rd grade(with a game in hand on the team in 3rd place), top spot in 5th grade, second place in 6th grade(with a game in hand), top in Colts 1, top in Colts 2, in the four in Colts 3, in 3rd spot in Colts 4(with a game in hand). I wouldn't be writing off the Club in 2024, just yet.

Indeed, Warhorse.
Those ladder positions hardly suggest that the club is “struggling”.
On the contrary, the depth looks pretty healthy.
