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.
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.

Bond Uni went down to Easts 27 - 28 in a nail-biter at home on the Gold Coast in Round 7 of QLD Premier RugbyBond Uni 27 (Tries: Stowers 2, Cornelius, Dorrough; Conv: Roberts 2; Pens: Roberts) defeated by Easts 28 (Tries: Gray, Finocchiaro, Smit, Wilson; Conv: Dreu; Pens: Pilz 2)Other Round 7...
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.
I wish Norths was “struggling” like Souths.
Honestly don't enjoy looking at the scorelines and seeing Norths struggle every week. People I know always mention that they respect the guys over there for still showing up for eachother despite the results not being there.
Unfortunately, it appears their 4th grade has just folded
Wasn't that always on shaky ground? I swear they forfeited a game or two in recent memory.
If this is true, it is a sad day for Brisbane club rugby. We need to keep young men in the game. Could Norths switch their lower grades (3rd and 4th) to playing sub-districts (Normanby, Wyatt Cups)??
If they cant get enough numbers to play 3rd and 4th, how can they get numbers to play those divisions.
I've seen many a former prem and rep players playing 6th grade. im not doubting theres some decent players playing 6th grade that could play higher.
Yes - Friday night lights is a feast of rugby with some talented hasbeens running around. Norths 3/4 grades over the years are perennial cellar dwellers and dare I suggest that these teams are at a comparable level more than they are currently in the the senior comp. But we'll never know if they are forfeiting already in Round 1. Give them the opportunity to "transfer" to the subbies comp for Round 2 and let's play!
