Did they pick up more injuries yesterday?

That's still huge mail. But my first reaction is what would GM offer moving forward? I don't know him and have no agenda against South's or him. But it's a perplexing call. If you were a player considering a move Souths now, what is the lure? On the face of it, there appears to be turmoil that...

I think Herbie has done a very good job over there from a business point, but I think the rugby has been a little below par in the past few seasons.

I think Easts do a pretty good feed, Wests have that Burrito place and GPS has always been pretty good as well. Norths ain't bad, Sunnybank is pretty good; I think UQ, Brothers and Bond are rubbish on catering. Rubbish. On the Souths saga - is any of this confirmed? Has the club done a similar...

Wests far too good for Sunnybank. Not sure about the rest.

There has been some fascinating recruiting. Easts certainly have done some great work, but will Simon Craig have the man-management skills to make this a cohesive group in one season? If he can, he has a team on his hands there. Dan Ritchie and Michael Bell have also signed some real talent...

Any news on horse trading this week?

I heard it was a prop, not a hooker.

I think most clubs lose a few as the seasons recycle. There is some mail going around that a Wests front-rower has defected to the Heavies any truth in that?

Is Dom Fraser still playing at Brothers?

Hi, Harry. Do you know who they signed?

Thanks. Where would Bond and GPS fit into being clubs that either offer dollars (not Rand :) ) or other benefits such as education or accommodation etc? They too have a share of rep players, facilities and good coaching, especially Bond.

There's plenty of Rand being thrown around QPR as well - Souths put rand-in-the hand, talk of low double figures for at least 2 players this season but still no Premiership. I agree with you on those Shute numbers as I've heard that from numerous people. Do Brothers pay players?

Not at all. I am just not hearing much about their recruiting and agree it will be an interesting year for the Tigers. Do you rate Simon Craig? Has he done much as a coach? I do not know what Seru Uru is doing, I do not know him, but I think he will play little to no club rugby in 2025. Outside...

I tell you what, boys, 2025 will be a different landscape. With RA and QRU putting a fence around their players' clubs, club rugby will be full of opportunities for club players to get a shot at Prems in 2025. I am unsure which clubs are best poised to take advantage of that, but I reckon any...
