Qld Premier Rugby 2024

[The Engine Room]

Looks like Wests will be playing out at Crosby versus the winner of the Canberra comp Tuggeranong Vykings in the warm up game before the Australian rugby championship duel.

that sounds like a awesome afternoon of footy…

Live stream of the games on Stan???

Live stream of the games on Stan???

you’d hope so.

I absolutely despise giving any of my money to brothers rugby…

but if I have to go in person - so be it.

Filthy Lucre?

Tough isn't it Southern? I was same with Sunnybank and to a slightly lesser degree Jeeps when I lived over there!

Back in Brisbane living near GPS, it's not my traditional club but looking to get back into local club scene regardless(support not play), anyone from GPS in here advise of ways to support and volunteer.

Turn up on Saturday and go to the glue factory.

if you’d like to do more then Phil probably the guy to point you in the right direction.

Mate that is great - best bet would probably pop down to the club and ask for Anthony Herbert or flick him an email - aherbert@gpsrugby.com.au

If you're just looking to assist with operational stuff - the home game days are always a big show, lots of marquee setup in the days leading up, bars to stock and field setup etc.

Always scope for additional hands assisting teams as well.

The South Queensland Crushers fullback!?
Great stuff will do.

 

[East Coast Aces]

Yep Sankey Gone.

Also Alex Smit. Gone to Canberra. Along with Will Kirk (Although didn't start many games)

Jordy Careira having a year off apparently.

Fair few 2nd graders will have to make the step up especially in the forwards.

Smit going is actually a positive.

Smit going is actually a positive.

in what way?

 

[East Coast Aces]

in what way?

In the infamous words of Shane Warne, "he can't catch, can't pass and can't step."

 

[Bulldog]

In the infamous words of Shane Warne, "he can't catch, can't pass and can't step."

Are you talking about the right Smit brother?

Alex probably has more natural ability than Matt, but Matt is a premiership player - he played well that year after switching from the Bulldogs.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Alex do well at the Brumbies - would be another that the Reds failed to identify.

Good luck to Alex & the youngest Kirk.

Kirk who is a #9 was excellent in the Reggie’s finals last year - especially in the preliminary final v Brothers (BOG).

I agree with Bulldog. Alex Smit is a flanker. he doesn't pass much or step. he's a hard working forward.

You might be thinking of Matt Smit his brother who plays centre.

 

[Bulldog]

Alex was a Queensland School boys #15 before switching to #7 I think whilst playing Colts at Wests.
His career has been hampered by injuries but if he could get a good pre-season at the Brumbies and play a full season of club rugby in Canberra I recon you’ll see him in Super rugby in 12 months - if not for the Brumbies for the Drua as he has Fijian heritage.

If he gets a Super Rugby gig before Matt Gicquel or Kohan Herbert, what are we even doing here?

 

[LevitatingSocks]

How are overall numbers looking at different clubs? Maybe more guys will trickle in but we're looking at fewer people compared to last year at mine.

Kohan is currently with rebels on trial and train, but given their financial state I doubt he will be offered a contract

 

[SouthernX]

Same scenario as Matt Giquel a few years back.
Was at the rebels, came back to gallopers for a few games then went to France.

Losing a super rugby team and having a total of 4 doesn’t really help keep Aussie talent in Australia.

Not QPR related but for those of you wishing to watch a good Netflix Series featuring a number of Brisbane landmarks try “Boy Swallows Universe”.

 

[The Engine Room]

When do QPR teams start trialing and who is playing who and when?
