QLD Premier Rugby 2025

[Mark Panga]

I don't support either team, so I don't really care who is playing - in fact the more rep players the better for the spectacle.

But lets not pretend Ross is some Bond diehard. It's definitely a loophole being exploited that Ross is able to play in a 2025 GF when he won't actually debut for the Reds proper until 2026 and has probably spent all of 10mins at the Bond clubhouse (and yes I know he played in the BIL game but I am not sure it's counted as an official cap?).

The last time Ross played rugby in Australia the Bullsharks didn't even exist as a QPR team. He's also been open about the fact he's only aligned with them because the former Chiefs CEO is now at the club.

Very different to the JOC (James O'Connor) (James O'Connor) situation who was a Brothers junior and had played for the club previously throughout his career - he was also a Reds player in 2024. So really in fact the two situations are chalk and cheese.

Oh. So we’ve now got the team lists and Brothers have Flook, Ryan and Pakeho in that’s ok - but you object to Ross for Bond.

If a player has signed up to a club and is eligible for selection - whether they are a Wallaby or a 6th grader.

Ross signed up to Bond way before they looked like being in the grand finals. He was to play for Bond but was closed to the wallabies instead. He’s eligible to play. He should be allowed to play. Just as Flook, Pakeho and Ryan are eligible to play and should be allowed to play.

You’re a peanut if you can’t see the difference here.

But that’s fine. Not worth an internet argument.
