Sunnybank probably will not run a 3rd grade this year.
Extra $100 in fees due to QRU levy hits hard in an area where youth unemployment is the highest in Australia.
Also the club has 12 players on stand down to support QRU 7s program.
The fee issue is driven by declining ARU revenue and increased professional costs resulting in the approx $5M in member union participation funding to be withdrawn from the states. To replace this levies have been put in place.

Sunnybank Community & Sports Club (Sunnybank Rugby Union Club) is poised to post a record month of trade for any licensed club in Qld with over $20M in turnover.
The current grant to Rugby hasn't been increased since 2011 when monthly turnover was closer to $15M per month.
Might be time for an...

UQ scrape in by a point I think.
Tigers are paying $4.50 on Sportsbet.
Who does these odd?
For supporters, not players there is good reason to have a punt.
Bond were the same odds last week when they toppled a "who cares" Souths.
Interestingly the QRU get a licence fee for this which I am sure they share with the clubs.

The Qld draft for school will be a year older in 6 years time. Might be time to think about it then BUT.....
There is real issue in the late teenage years.

It's not purely about Brothers Colts.
They are 5th, 7th and 6th this year.
PC did well last year but they struggled to keep a C2 on the field.
2012 no C2 and no SF for PC.
Much the same for the years before.
They are ahead of the clubs you mention but behind Uni, Sunnybank and GPS.
The point was...
Just to meld a couple of topics
- Brothers performance
- Colts leading to grades success
I would be the last person not to push strong Colts for a club but the reality is that Brothers are the only club to make the semis every year from 2004-2013 and during that time their Colts have been...
