I wonder if Wests ever bothered to ask GPS about Elwee before bringing him in.... I heard plenty of stories about that messy exit. Will be very interesting to see how this one plays out.

No money for Phil Mooney's final year of his contract, now they say they supposedly can't make player payments. Where did all their money go?

It's listed as a full-time role (around $120k) and heavily involved in Talent ID, among other duties. I can't see QRU wanting someone in that position also handling a 1st Grade Head Coach role, if only to avoid the optics of a 1st Grade head coach having direct contact with emerging talent. But...

As in, he has got it or he is keen on it? It would make sense for someone who is already involved in both school and club rugby to get it

Does anyone know and have a reference for any rules regarding player payments? I've always heard that there are specific rules/max budget allowed to be spent, etc, but I've never seen anything in writing to back it up. I'm sure there is always creative accounting going on, and fair play to...

Nice. That is a good get from UQ. I was wondering how long the Noosa Dolphins would be able to hold onto him for.

What's his resume? I've not heard of him, or able to find info

Anyone heard anything out of UQ about their head coach (or other positions) yet?

Just did a little deep dive and looks like they've been allowing applications for it since 2020. Not sure how well publicised it is though... Re Floyd, I think he still got the scholarship - from memory it was in tandem with a club sponsor for a plumbing apprenticeship. I'm not sure being in a...

I think they have been doing the scholarships since 2020/21, from memory. I vaguely remember them promoting Floyd Aubrey, etc, on it before they won the Colts premiership in 2021.

It looks like Shane Arnold is returning (again) to GPS, this time as an assistant under Cockbain. And James Pritchard is back another year as an assistant. Handy appointments

Speaking from experience from what is happening at Wests?

Nick Turnball?

Anyone got any mail on this one? I would imagine Rama Chand is looking for a gig?

I still can't believe Wests forced/let him leave. Crazy. Well done to Norths on getting him - no doubt Phil would have had a few options on the table.
