Any updates on the South Colts 1 coach after the GF melee issue? Swept under the carpet???

OMG! just watched the video of the Colts 1 melee. Sooooo many bad and scary things. This should never be allowed to happen again and I trust that a full review of the incident occurs and some significant penalties are applied. Both clubs also need to take these matters in hand and address...

I hope C F-S wins the "best back" award for 6th grade this year A glorious achievement to add to his illustrious provincial rugby career.

Still should be a minimum number of games (6) played in that team to be eligible if coming down the grades. In regards to Colts, they still should have benched or played a min of 6 games during the season in that team. Without something like this, I can see the situation getting ridiculous.

Agreed. This "stacking" strategy has gone on for years. I think the rule of having played a minimum number of games (6) in that team/grade during the season is main prerequisite for mine. Colts should not be eligible to "play up" unless they have played a minimum number of games in that...

It used to be awarded to the team scoring the first try back in the day I recall but I really think allowing for 20 mins (10 each way) as ET is do-able with the grades starting a little earlier in finals to allow for it. You may also recall the Colts (UQ v Easts) GF at Suncorp a few year back...

I can't believe they don't allow for Extra Time in finals. We don't want a repeat of 3rd grade last year with a GPS team winning the premiership with two draws (major and GF).

Should be a cracking day across the grades and Colts. Up the Heavies!

Exactly. It was a bit of a surprise. GPS have never forfeited a game to my knowledge.

I noticed that GPS 5th grade forfeited on the weekend. Is there a story there?

So has anything happened this week with the GPS coach in terms of sanction etc? or it is yet again another behavioural indiscretion swept under the carpet?

The Butchery and The Glue Factory are possibly the worst behaved supporters in the comp over the years. Club presidents/committees need to step up and address the behavioural issues that continue. Refs should not have to cop that rubbish at any time. It's time some "attendance bans" are put...

Battle of the Spoon always entertaining.

Norths lower grades (3/4) should be playing sub-districts - Wyatt. Normanby Cup comps. It's as simple as that.

Yes - Friday night lights is a feast of rugby with some talented hasbeens running around. Norths 3/4 grades over the years are perennial cellar dwellers and dare I suggest that these teams are at a comparable level more than they are currently in the the senior comp. But we'll never know if...

If this is true, it is a sad day for Brisbane club rugby. We need to keep young men in the game. Could Norths switch their lower grades (3rd and 4th) to playing sub-districts (Normanby, Wyatt Cups)??

I think Werchon would make a very handy #10. Has the kicking game and the game smarts. Would love to see him get some minutes there. Still not convinced with Lynagh.

I thought there was a QRU "rule/requirement" that Premier Grade, Womens and Colts 1 teams have to be named by Friday.

Prems team lists are starting to come out. What are the forums thoughts? I was hoping we would see more Reds players for the important first round.

Can't get a read on Bond. Have not appeared much in pre-season chatter and seem to be bunkered down in the GC. The disappointment of last season's capitulation will hang heavy on them I think and their grade depth is very questionable (they can never field more than 3 grades). Henno will work...
