Didn't Hunter decide to cut ties with New Star in favour of going "self managed" to remain at the reds?
On a separate note UQ's post Heenan years continue to disappoint almost as much as Bond's results since he has arrived down the M1.
I thought the back three let the reds down in game management and kick execution but besides that massive shifts from the others on the park. Hurricanes were winning the physical battle and breakdown for the best part of 50 minutes but seemed to gass out after then.
When was the last time any senior rugby player was offered a free ticket? Don't they even have to pay to watch Finals at Ballymore?
You'd think with subs of $400+ they'd be able to watch clubmates at finals time.
In comparisons to Creighton and HMP's performances last weekend, I think a few aren't factoring in the first 20 minutes of an abhorrent attacking breakdown from the reds. Really slow and messy ball stopped the majority of go forward and meant Creighton had to kick on the back foot. I thought we...
Apparently Brothers have knocked back any new development that was to be linked to the Olympics as they want their own infrastructure.
I was driving past the other day and saw they're redoing the bottom and top fields with about 4 trucks of sand delivered.
How do we think the crackdown on tackle height will affect the game and potentially favour some side over others?
IMO with lower tackles we'll see a lot more offloads keeping the ball alive, conducive to expansive rugby. I'm expecting Bond to be the major beneficiaries with the "bash the door...

Hard Pill for both UQ and Brothers in 4ths and 3rds to swallow. Have an undefeated* finals run and the teams that haven't won a single finals game goes through ahead of them.
@Wilson Would you say brothers the best off out of the three remaining then? They'll run out the same as last week. With Uru and Paisami being massive for Wests last week and Bond now without two capped wallabies Props in Gibbon and Zane N.
The reserve grade roster seems relatively unchanged and if anything strengthened in the last couple of weeks. It wouldn't be the first time that coach and group have peaked early and failed to show up at finals time.
If they're knocked out this weekend it might have a strong impact through the...
