He is back in Brisbane. Working in Rural Real Estate with LAWD. UQ will welcome him back with open arms I am sure.

Still reckon I would take another Tim Horan if there is one out there. Not the biggest bloke but had the brain and heart that is needed for top end results.

Most Prem Grade clubs last year were circa $500 made up from RA cut, Insurance , Qld Reds Tax then club needs. When you add in some boots and shorts shirt etc setting up to play rugby is going to be about a 700 -800 per year past time.

One problem is when all these clubs were established other than Sunnybank and Bond Uni they were all in "outerish" suburbs of Brisbane that had a heavy housing / residential feel to them. People became a bit tribal to live and play locally. Most are within 7 KM of the CBD (and each other)...

And Brownie dipping into his own pocket pretty deeply.

Hospital Cup top try scorer from UQ

My honest opinion is that Schoolboy rugby is about 8 to 10 game season/ year. Pro rugby is 25 plus per year. The young bodies are just not conditioned for it. Sending boys up against men is never a good idea. Evidence is the number of injuries experienced in the young brigade. Maybe they...

it was a response comment to a train of discussion saying good players are stuck in QPR / Amateur rugby. There are players of Super Standard but no places for them, maybe because of some of the recruiting practises.

thats the result of watching too much schoolboy rugby and thinking that is the development arena for the wallabies. Pasitoa was very very good at Nudgee but hasnt kicked on

Jungle drums beating loud that Gordon have recruited well off the back of joint Coach of the Year.

This is why I say we should ditch Super Rugby and Build an 8 Team Aussie comp. So we can house and develop a biger pool of talent to feed up to the Wallabies and generate a better product for TV.

Where every sports gets their funds 1. TV Rights - make a product that can be sold 2. Sponsors - rattle the can in the so called rugby heartland of the "big End of Town". 3. Pokies - Sunnybank took them in years ago and became flush - now the others need to at least look at the option. 4. Off...

This is the classic reason why the Reds Rugby needs to suppport the Hospital Cup to become a third tier of professional rugby ie have players paid at least to the same level as the League Q Cup.

short stint injury cover

Syd Uni has signed the hooker from Norths in Brisbane apparently

My gut feeling is that Shute Shield is about to become the serious third tier of Pro Rugby in Australia. - even though it probably already is given there is $$$$ there and none in Hospital cup or players.

Keep drinkin the Coolaid there LeCheese. Fruitful? So the cupboard is full of trophies? The wallabies are full of Reds (more Waratahs than Reds TBH)? Other teams fear playing them? All the Reds have become is a transit lounge for Schoolboy super stars to grow a little before heading for...

Another talent walking out of the Reds after a lot of $$$$ and effort put into him. When will the Reds find some people that can run the back office properly.

Why would a 10 move to QLD . They have Tom Lynagh and Harry M-P (Aust u20) and now signed Mason Gordon (ex Rebels but local Wests).

I am sure there will be a few surprises where players end up.
