On a personal note I'm not returning to Coach Uni Colts for next year. Don't have the time required as I am doing some study and have to work.
I heard that John Dart has moved up from Colts to Premier grade at the GC. I think this will be great for them. He is a very deep thinker in regards to his rugby.

Joe O'Regan, former Australian A schoolboy and Uni Prem colts hooker from last season, has returned to Norths to play. Joe is a Norths Junior and played at Uni while living at college. He is back at home this year and will add a lot to the Norths Colts team.
Sunnybank beat Uni in a trial on the weekend too. Not sure what you can read into trial form, especially at Colts level as most of the players haven't played together before. It will be an interesting year to follow.

Wests go touched up by norths on the weekend but had rested alot of there better players. But still credit to norths who look good this year i expect alot higher finish than last year.
Wests will be in contention for top five as they have clsoe to the backline in the comp and veryt oguh and physicla back five. There front row leaves is ok but no depth if injuries occurr to the forwards they are rooted. Hence the wrapping of players in cotton wool on the weekend

I was at the GPS v Uni and GPS v Brothers Prem Colts matches over the past two weekends. GPS won both matches. Early season form is obviously a bit scratchy for all concerned. I thought Uni looked a bit show-ponylike, all class in the backs but the forwards were outplayed (apart from a good lineout). GPS were fairly workmanlike and unfashionable in both games. As for Brothers, they looked good in parts but I'm not sure that they've got too much depth this year. I don't know the scores but GPS won the Uni game by 3 points I think, and against Brothers it was about 5 or 6 tries to 2.

I think what is good about there backline is that it is full of solid players with a handful of stars. However there stars are relatively unknown players. Billy Hayed the fullback is nts from sydney was originally brought p by uni but they apparently back out of there deal so he went to the club of his father. Apparently could have played Aus schools bu didnt go to trials as to focus on his schooling. But reds academy have been enquiring about him. Other players include Billy Gilroy a kid currently goign to JPC but was with harlequins youth in england last year. But the rest of the backline are still fantastic gps firsts players to
The staff is fantastic as said but yes if they injury curse hits there tight five they have limited quality stocks.

Looking at the team lists getting around and coaching appointments, I really can't see a change in the usual suspects.
Uni, SB, Coast, GPS and maybe the filth will challenge, with Easts being a smokey. The others will have there moments for sure but at this stage I can't see them challenging. I do think the gap is closing though and some of the clubs that have struggled in recent years (eg wests and norths) have improved their recruiting classes.

Sam Grasso, Blaine Miller, Harry Boangers and the goal kicking winger Dwyer have all left or moved into grades havent they? Plus you would think as a second year reds academy player Felsman should be playing mainly premier grade. Which only really leaves the talented Stitt and maybe another winger to return for brothers. Although with Zane Hilton at the recruiting helm over the past few years i am sure they will have alot of kids to fill those spots

Anyone know anything about the sunny bank colts this year. Stand out players style of play?
Is it as star studded of team as last year?

Stephen Hunt and Liam Law will be running around for the bank this year. I am not to sure if they have many players back from last year as most of them progressed up to grade rugby. It will be an interesting Round 1 game at the Kennel. Think I will have to have a look.
