Gutting, two great blokes whose contribution to their communities over the years goes well beyond the Rugby field.

Mate!

3. Ash Masters 2. Michaela Leonard 1. Cecilia Smith

The biggest improvement areas from the corresponding semis last year for me are the intensity and execution in defence and at the breakdown. Have really enjoyed the season, the development of the Brumbies, Force and Rebels great to see.

Agree on all of this Dru, Codey pick of the forwards for mine and Draper the standout in the backs. Reds line out got wonky second half but the pack was as solid all round, very impressed with the progression of Sarah Lewis at 9 and Dascombe, Smith, Wong & Nona all strong and great cameos from...

Great stuff, have noted increase in engagement at some of the pre season clinics and sign on days on this side of ditch as well WOB. Aupiki, Super W exposure along with expanded international opportunities are providing visible pathways for young women, a cross over TT comp cannot happen soon...

Thanks HJ, great photos from a fantastic afternoon.

Reg, I think the two loosies, Amelia Brown and Tayla Rowe display the workrate and momentum changing impact required to be worthy of consideration. In the backs Larana Thomas who alternates between 9 and 15 and played for Griffith in AON Sevens is worth a look, along with Georgia Sim and Ella...

It is great to see Shannon in the mix, and 7 of the 9 Clubs in the Premier Womens Competition represented amongst the 48 selected players. The 2 clubs without representation are the 2021 Wooden Spooners Brothers, and Souths who managed to Finish 5th on the table ahead of Wests (6 selected), UQ...

On my way there now Jeeper, good luck (not too much though!). First trip to Crosby eh?, enjoy mate. No finer place in the Southern hemisphere;)

Coady has him covered Filth. Looking forward to the day. After Jeeps took the chocolates in all grades at Yoku it will be good to see how the boys respond. Best of luck to both clubs.

I think the Reds players should have this week off Big Dog ;)

Agree Filth, Freney (Another great Brothers name) is certainly top shelf. TT is spot on, Freney v Gunn should be a ripper. As TT would say, 3 more sleeps.

Yeah Filth, real shame for Dom and a pity we we might not get to see him play for Brothers again. He always really put in when he had the opportunity to play for the club. At least I suppose he will still be in blue and white. The Rebels ARC strip was almost identical to the Brothers one in...

BD, agree 100%. I was on the side of the field that Zangari was on and when I posted earlier that sanity prevailed it was in praise of the Jeeps trainer. I got the impression that Zangari was insisting he would be right to continue (as most blokes do I guess, although it was surprising to see a...

Thanks BD, I suspected he was concussed, just hoping for his sake he hadn't copped a fracture of any sort. Loved the physicality of the game last week, just don't want to see anybody get too busted up. Particularly coming into finals time, nothing worse than watching finals injured.

BigDog, how did Zangari pull up after Saturday? I thought he was out cold after he was smashed initially then after the play came back his way a couple of minutes later it looked like a reflex action to pick himself up take the pass, dash about 20 metres only to be buried again...thankfully...

TT, I was a spectator for both of these days. Reckon you are right that the crowd numbers were about even. No doubt though that the combined crowd IQ number was much higher the day that Brothers played.

Filth, I fired up the DeLorean on Saturday and dragged myself out of the past to have a look at the Tigers and Jeeps. Tigers very impressive in the first half particularly. Placid was on fire, rest of the backs well drilled with good execution and a hard working, hard hitting pack of forwards...

Yeah, it is a great photo Filth, back when boots were boots.
