Think I saw him playing 3rd grade recently - may even won a title for the tigers. (Don’t think it was this year but probably last year)

Anyone seen any 2024 QPR betting markets yet?
I imagine 2 factors have been addressed that would allow preliminary markets to open
all coaching vacancies announced
schedule has been released
(betting agencies now in a position to make educated guess about rep players returning to 3rd tier during bye weeks / after super rugby etc )

How do we think the crackdown on tackle height will affect the game and potentially favour some side over others?
IMO with lower tackles we'll see a lot more offloads keeping the ball alive, conducive to expansive rugby. I'm expecting Bond to be the major beneficiaries with the "bash the door down" style of play Wests and GPS have brought over the recent years needing the most adaptation.

Will be an unfortunate time to be the last man defending a 2 on 1 on the edge. Tackling at chest height and wrapping the ball is nice for preventing the offload for an easy try.
I feel bad for the officials, will be a nightmare to officiate.

Cards should be reduced significantly - Cards are for head contact, not high tackles (maybe a case for repeated team infringements). With current laws you have to get it wrong by 2cm, that's going to be more like 30cm under the new regime which should make things a lot easier.

Hearing of a few gains at UQ for 2024 with Jethro Felemi (GPS), Niven Longopoa (GPS) and Lachlan Connors (Bond) all appearing at pre-season for the Red Heavies.
Have also heard that Tyler Campbell and Rhian Stowers are making the trip down the M1 to link up at Sunnybank. Unsure of the truth behind that one

I think that's Wests, Sunnybank, Brothers, GPS and now UQ. That has to be some kind of record. Seems he's at them for a good time, not a long time...

Good on him - the ball is the same shape at every club.
