QLD Premier Rugby 2025

[Quicktapsonly]

Glen Vaihu partnering him in the centres, he has returned to union after a short stint in rugby league with Broncos and Souths Logan.

David Vaihu getting his first start for Easts in Shute Shield this weekend. Interesting to see his impact in a different comp.

Glen might be a short term thing, I believe he is trying to secure a Japanese deal.

Tend to think it would be a bit disconcerting for some of their loyal regulars at Wests as they are always happy to inject short term stars over them chasing a win. Can’t blame the club especially after a pretty disappointing start to the season with their roster.

Have heard a couple of the South’s guys are also off to Japan in the coming weeks and may be playing their last games.

Love this rumour mill. Apparently Souths were going to be shit this year, all players leaving a sinking ship.

Reality, a couple left, a few on short term deals in Hong Kong, due back soon.
Garrick Morgan quits on the eve of the season, leaving the club in the shit.
Reality, he stands down due to health issues, there was a plan in place for this eventuality at the conclusion of last season.

Now oh, I've heard players are going to Japan after 4 rounds.

How about you clowns just tell us solid news instead of rumours from the white ant mill.

Great win over a star studded Bulldogs, Souths!
Looking like a well coached team playing to a plan and executing. Horrid conditions but a very entertaining match.
Henry looked solid on return, horrible mullet though.
Wests looked better with Sorovi at 9. I think Werchon is a bit overrated myself.

 

[Bulldog]

I think Werchon is overrated too. Can you believe he missed the conversion - I think he needs to give up goal kicking.

I think it would be naive for Elwee to not now appreciate that “we have a problem”. With Brothers next week they could be 1&4, needing to win 9 from 11 just to make the 4.

It’s official the 2025 Bulldogs are in trouble.

Well said mate - totally agree.

Yep Henry was very good for first game back and Wests just not gelling.

How about George Francis though so much better when he’s this fit and focussed.

Not sure why you’re so worked up at me here boss.

A bunch of the Japanese based Aussie players came back over the Easter weekend and were telling me they’ve got some new team mates coming over from clubland.

Mentioned it was mostly a few from South’s and GPS.

I’m not rubbishing the club, just saying a few players are earning pro contracts.

I'm worked up about all of you that like to spread half truths or 3rd hand rumours. You're just the latest in a long line. You do seem to like death riding the Magpies though, and not many of your inside predictions come to fruition. Is it an attention thing?
Look, if players get these contracts, that's great for them, not great for our competition, but ultimately, it's a feeder comp.
But until it's official it's just another rumour. No-one is really that impressed that you talk with blokes in the know apparently. It's still a pretty small town. Especially in rugby circles.

Just seen Teti Tela at 10 for UQ tomorrow. Wow

 

[Bulldog]

The Souths win today has taken them to top of the table in Premier Grade but no other grade 2-4 ( no 5th) is in top 4.

it would be a long time since they haven’t had a lower grade team in the top 4 because they always seem to have sides running around at semi final time.

Werchon definitely missed a few crucial conversions but can’t confirm degree of difficulty.

Definitely something not right at the kennel - I think they really miss guys like Anderson, Higgins and hope etc these are guys who play with full ticker.

And yep let’s just agree South’s playing well above what some in the forum expect from Prems except in lower grades where they are performing well below previous years.

Looking forward to tomorrow’s games especially norths brothers.

Nice, experienced pick up for the Students.

Indeed, depth seems to be an issue.

Mate if you don’t like rumours or banter, probably best to get off an anonymous internet forum. Or stop being so precious.

…………I heard that Xmas is cancelled this year!

Amazing how many grumpy pricks on the internet complaining about the chat on an anonymous forum.

If you want facts, head down to your local club AGM and log off from here boys.

Likewise, if you don't like being called out for bullshit ....

It's about having a chat about a comp that doesn't get much love Phil, it doesn't need to have white ants trying to tear it down spreading half truths and 3rd hand rumours.
Inside knowledge is gold, if it comes from factual sources.
