Karmichael Hunt has been cleared by the ARU to return to the REDS. 4 game supension (already served) and a 10k fine.

Hard to imagine Brad Thorn flying him over to Capetown this weekend. Can we expect him to turn out for the Eagles instead?

It's the very least he could do for the rugby community in Queensland, he should dive headfirst into club rugby like Quade has

Agreed this would be the right thing to do but he’s shown little to no interest in his club since day dot from what I have seen, very similar to James O’Cinnor.

Loving Quades commitment, let’s see if KHunt is made of the same mettle

Not excusing the 2, but Karmichael and JOC (James O'Connor) were never club players and had no club to be loyal to.
Quade cut his teeth (or is it teef?) with Souths.

If your club is going to play finals they'll need to win 10 games (63% winning record) according to the historical stats.

Finals
(Prems) 2017; 2016; 2015; 2014; 2013; 2012; 2011 (2011-13 adjusted for Sunshine Coast)

1st => 13.6: 15; 15; 13; 16; 12; 12; 12;
2nd => 11.4: 12; 11; 12; 13; 11; 10; 11;
3rd => 10.7: 8; 11; 10; 14; 11; 10; 11;
4th => 10.0: 9; 8; 9; 12; 11; 10; 11;

But there is a recent downward trend in the number of wins required to secure the 3rd or 4th spot.

Which suggests that the competition has got more competitive.

How about the new bonus point system though?

Was only recently implemented. I seem to recall a conversation in last years thread about how 3 tries or more margin has changed the parity in the comp compared to 4 tries or more (total) but i can't seem to recall how this logic fits into your 3rd/4th spot qualifications.

That Brothers price is incredible.

Every year they are sniffing out a post season appearance. No way i'd ever put my money on the filth but I think it's great value.

SX using the same layout with points

Points

Finals
(Prems)

Place=> Ave.; 2017; 2016; 2015; 2014; 2013; 2012 (2012-13 adjusted for Sunshine Coast)

1st => 65.7; 70; 73; 63; 70; 63; 58;
2nd=> 57.7; 54; 61; 59; 59; 58; 57;
3rd => 54.0; 42; 57; 56; 57; 58; 52;
4th => 50.3; 39; 46; 50; 57; 55; 52;

The points in 2017 for 2nd, 3rd & 4th were all down on the average but in the case of 3rd & 4th it had more to do with the number of wins than BPs 3rd (8 wins v average of 10.7) & 4th (9 wins v average of 10). 1st (2017 i.e Uni) recorded the same number of wins in 2016 & 2017 yet secured 3 less BPs in 2017. So yes the change in try BPs has reduced the number of BPs but it is a relative decline across the whole competition.

So I'd say the number of wins (4 points for a win) is more important than accumulation of BP. In essence I think BPs have taken the place of F&A, in that they seem to just resolve the pecking orders which is none the less clearly important.

Would be interesting to see both KMH and QC (Quade Cooper) running round in the Brisbane Comp. Would be worth an extra few more spectators at each game.

"It would be hard to change a winning Reds Team".

Will also be interesting to see if Izaia Perese comes back through Easts when he is fit.

Any ideas how far away he is from being fit?

Yep, fair call

Nabuli to the Reds bench.

Who can you see dropping out the Red Squad (thus boosting which Brisbane Club)?

Its great having so much young talent available.
