Hopefully, this Saturday ;)

Great win by Wests on Saturday with a few boys playing out of position with captain and fly half Alec Jones and hooker Cody Blackhurst both out injured. Hopefully the boys can maintain momentum from here and finish off the last part of the season as they did in middle of the season.

Oh the good old days..... applauding the fact that although these guys are being asked to train similar hours to a part time job we won't give them a thing because their loyal, I mean nobody helped me out when I was playing in 3rd grade....

Club loyalty is used on players that the clubs know or think aren't going anywhere rather than help these very guys that help build the clubs culture. The goodies are dolled out to players who are enticed to clubs and when a better offer comes along or they don't get that NRC spot they have been...

This article, https://www.alloutrugby.com/sa-teams-queue-for-pro12/ says everything about the ARU and how they are simply passengers in World Rugby and have no plan or idea. The SARU had already found a home for their teams, in fact 2 teams, in the expanded Pro 12 when they agreed to axe one of...

No, the lemon would be a national women's comp.

Could the moderators please move this talk of a national women's comp to its own thread? That way the thousand's and thousand's of spectators along with the large number of corporate sponsors so keen to watch and participate are not bothered with those of us interested in, albeit a lesser...

My first thought was the QRU have Brendan 'Sauce' Hertel, Mahlia Ivory and Jaybor Staunton to cover this?

Really, a national Women's comp! We don't have a proper national men's comp and we want to pour money into a national women's comp? I am so tired of this PC rubbish surrounding women's rugby especially when we can't even get a decent national men's off the ground. The sport is supposedly...

Gilmore needs to concentrate on his job in hand as well...more bottles more water, more water more bottles..:(

QLD Premier Rugby 2017 I have just read this post over on the QLD Premiers thread. Well done to Stiles' on this matter. Also shows that his recent decisions to send Frisby and Ready back to their respective Clubs should not have been a shock to them after seeing what happened to Paraka. Frisby...

This also puts Stiles' recent decision to send Frisby and Ready back to their Clubs for a while. Ready must be wondering when/if his banishment will be over.

Unfortunately for Peraka, the correct decision. Why in the world would you miss the first day back at training, unless of course it wasn't high on his priority. There would be many players at club level that would do anything just for a chance to train with the squad.

He was named in the 2017 Squad. He appears in the promo video, however he has been removed from the squad photos on the webpage. Strange.

If Stilesy was allowed to choose his own assistant coaches, then yes, he needs to go. Now if he was allowed to choose his own assistants, but within a budget, then no it is the Board who needs to take responsibility. Based on their CV's below they should be getting paid as interns or graduates...

I am starting to feel for Stilesy. When any of us are under the hammer and searching for reasons/answers to a problem we look to our support staff for their input, suggestions and ideas based on their perspective from their own expertise and experience. This is who Stilesy is relying for that...

Was it the heavy strapping that gave it away?:cool:

I could not agree more. I saw Gilmore running out the drinks, like he does for every game and he literally just handed the drink bottle, no chat not talk from him. To Gilmore's credit though I did note the bottle had been filled correctly and he was offering it to other players that he felt...

I cannot fathom the Reds board's thinking. They realised that RG needed to have some old heads around after 2 seasons and brought in Knuckles andwithout talking RG up he had already been a head coach of a Super Rugby side and coached overseas. Then after a world wide search, find Stiles in the QRU...

Jason Gilmore is absolutely out of his depth but obviously is part of the clique at the QRU. How can he be anyway qualified? Up until now he has only coached kids and youths. How do Reds players even take him seriously. The exact same can be said for Shane Arnold.
