Qld Premier Rugby 2024

[Sir Charles]

That was a wild brain snap.

You would think a punch to the face in front of the referee and camera would be at least 6 week suspension? Early guilty plea for 4 weeks maybe?

I thought the Souths effort to almost get Brothers was quite extraordinary. I reckon if the penalty to Souths right on the Brothers line near the end of the game wasn't overturned a pushover try/penalty try was a likely outcome. Would've been one of the more remarkable results you'd see. As it was I thought the game was good despite the red card. Agree with the earlier comment that Brothers' bench was the difference.

A few years ago a punch resulting in a red card was a mandatory one week suspension unless the player appealed it to the judiciary or the judiciary reviewed it and called the player in. Let's wait and see.

The bench did make the difference. The dive that the Brothers bench halfback took after cynically coming offside to stop the pick and drive, would've done any English Premier League soccer player proud. Not sure if it was that incident that resulted in the penalty reversal but it was Oscar worthy.

 

[Sir Charles]

Sounds like a veteran move by the 9, he caught a fish hook line and sinker which probably won them the game - like I teach my U12s, you cannot retaliate and then be upset when the referee reverses the penalty.

 

[Sir Charles]

Red cards for high tackles have been getting 3-6 weeks, is a punch to the head less dangerous than a high tackle?

 

[The Engine Room]

They played their Friday night 6th Grade team. Thought there was a rule that you can't play a lower grade while forfeiting a higher grade?

Exactly. It was a bit of a surprise. GPS have never forfeited a game to my knowledge.

Looks like last round of the comp the Wests @ Souths fixture has been moved to Sunday as to not interfere with the test match at Suncorp on the Saturday.

Morning @Confucius Say,

Any (early) tips for round 13? After the Bye weekend of course!

Would love to hear your thoughts on the matchups!!!

Cheers, Gary

Brothers over UQ - UQ to keep up, then fall by 12. UQ back three and Brothers tight five to fire
Bond over Norths - with Bond to lead by 28, then win by 3 when . Bond jinky counterattacks and a classic Norths fight back to feature
Souths over Easts - Souths to keep doing what they've been doing; Easts to do the same
Upset of the round: Sunnybank to get all of their ducks in a row and get a nice W over GPS. Fast forwards and a backline that gels to capitalise on a couple of GPS lapses. Dragons by 6.

Cheers @hdnmstsnr,

Really Looking forward to the big weekend of rugby! Go Easts!

Cheers, Gary

Something specifically rugby to peruse/listen to during the bye weekend. A Stan Sport commentator and two current Store Local Hospital Cup players - on a weekly podcast talking lots of rugby (club, Super Rugby, 7s International). Click here- Play By Play Podcast

 

[Sir Charles]

Im guessing the 2023 edition (excluding the end of the season lol) would be better than the 2024 edition.

 

[hdnmstsnr]

...or you could have a listen? That would take the guesswork out of it...

[Man from snowy river]

With the Reds playing Wales in 3 weeks it will be interesting to see the make up of the team. They may pull one or 2 players from the Hospital Cup. Any thoughts??

 

[Sir Charles]

I was told the Reds coaches were at Brothers training looking at a few players, one of which is no longer in Australia which is a shame.

 

[Man from snowy river]

You must be referring to Jayden Christian.

 

[SouthernX]

The reds coaching staff have been doing a qpr tour and checking out all training sessions. They were at souths other week and there was write up on the website/socials
