Actually, the Smith twins playing for GPS could be a consideration. Might wander down to Ashgrove tomorrow and see how they go.

No one managed to pick the perfect round this week with the draw between Souths and West getting us all.

Also not a good weekend to miss your tips as someone managed to only tip one game.

Table after round 6 sits like this

Higgers hasn't tipped for a few weeks so not sure if he is still involved.

I'm so sorry for the lack of detail and storytelling flair in what I'm about to write. It's very hard remembering what the game was like when you really only watch your own players and make sure they're ok.

The scoreline wasn't really reflective of the game. Shane Drahm certainly had his kicking boots on and they played a solid field position game. Their defence through the middle was good, and Uni still appeared to lose patience at times to lose possession rather than building phases. Most of our tries came either from the wing and/or late in the game. In fact, there were 4 tries scored in the last 15min (3 to Uni and 1 to SC). The Uni set piece is showing signs of improvement, esp the lineout. All the same, it'll be a big step up this weekend facing an undefeated Easts.

Many thanks

Better than some of the 'professional' reports I've read.

Easts this week should be an absolute cracker ! Will no doubt get reports from Spectator next week as well

Spewing actually WR (World Rugby). It's the Queens birthday long weekend here this weekend and I won't be able to go! Pity, as I think the game will be a corker. Forward battle shapes as being a doozy. Easts have a very tight no-name pack (and that's not meant to offend) that was tested against GPS but came through in the end. Very solid, very tight, and to date very good defenders. Uni pack has both size and class, so it will be a great measure for Easts. Backs would be pretty even I would say. Key for Easts is how Matt Brandon can harness the likes of Toby White and Johnny Wilder.

Hopefully I will be able to get some feedback from people I know who will be there and post some comments after the game.

Spectator, no offense taken.

I've been reading all week about this inclement weather for the weekend, and aside from making me feel a smidgen of self pity (yes, it's all about me...:) ) it may interfere with what could be a fast & exhilarating game. Alas with wind , rain and cold predicted, I expect we'll be describing it as "gripping" or "physical" or "grinding". All of which are fine and dandy, but not really what a good game between the 2 teams should be.

Not many of us had faith in Easts as only 3 people were willing to tip them. Doubt any one will tip against them for the rest of the year.

Gold Coast over Souths seemed to mess up everyone but saders07 who managed to tip the round

From all report Brothers v Easts was a great game with Easts showing they are the real deal by pushing ahead by 2 wins at the top of the table.
