West's don't look great either. A lot of talent in the team but you can't lose key players like that and expect to be jamming straight away.
If this was a full season I would say they would likely come home strong but it might be a tough ask this year.

I was there too, and Jeeps were very impressive.
I spoke to their head of S&C after and he said it was their worsr performance all year
.Some of the hits were borderline sickening tbh, and a few of the Brothers boys got taken off. Think they will be hard to beat.

Had a look in the CM for weekend results and a competition table both yesterday and today but couldn't find anything. Does the QRU communicate results and the CM cant be bothered to publish them or is it the QRU who is at fault?
Either way its not good that a competition as well run and as high a standard as QPR cannot even get results published.

Jeeps I think you are unfairly critical of QRU Media - who produce a heap of content through the Facebook page and the live streams.
I think you will find its CM - with Jim Tucker's retirement from Rugby coverage you are going to find increasingly less exposure to QPR by the CM.
I am not a Ben Dobbins fan but he is giving coverage every Saturday on Triple M and I am sure Neil Breen on 4BC will also give snippets particularly if Eadts continue their good form.

Bulldog - I am just asking the question. I think its pretty sad that the city's only paper does not publish the results of a significant sporting code being played in that city. The CM is letting us down and deserve to be called out.

I agree but I don't think this is in anyway the QRU's fault - I think Michael Backstrom (completion) & Brendan "Sauce" Hertel (media) do a great work for QPR.
More pressing how confident are you about Easts this weekend?

Across a few points from w/end. (Jeeps v Bros)
Backy was at GPS helping the Refs. Not sure if that was an official QRU role ?
The penalty try was valid. The Jeeps no 8 would have scored if the ref had not blown the whistle.
The Brothers right wing has a mandatory 2 weeks sideline (HIA). Tackle (mid 2nd half) was I think not malicious but first point of contact tacklers shoulder on ball carriers head would have resulted in a yellow or red if played at next level with greater video scrutiny.
One of the most physical club games I have seen in a while but pretty much all clean solid hits.
Good to be back watching club footy.

I’m tipping Easts to get up at home this weekend vs GPS, it will be a cracker.
Not really worried about that result though and I still reckon GPS are front runners for the Premiership though - they’ll be expecting 5 players back from the Reds for finals, a few in some very key positions, so they will get even stronger.

Agree, it was really brutal.
That tackle made me feel sick, I thought that winger was dead.

Sometimes these guys don't come back due to injury/early operations/Wallaby duties etc and sometimes their return can disrupt the team flow as guys take a back seat and leave it up to the rep players to get the job done - sometime the returning Reds are fools gold. It can inspire your opponents to lift their games. In Uni's case in 2019 it just was the final piece of the jigsaw.
I suppose it's like a box of chocolates!!

Totally agree Bulldog - but barring injury I would expect these guys to come back as they are definitely not in line for Wallaby spots (Straker, Hegarty, Malolua, Tuialima, JP and Feao if not still injured).
Regardless, the current 23 blokes who've been playing look very sharp, Easts will be a good test for them.

Is this meant for another thread? It doesn't really have relevance to anything in the above discussions.

You just talked about the crappy players not good enough to make the wallabies who will be playing for gps
