Is the National Training Centre still scheduled to open this month?

Right outcome. Wrong explanation. Highlander No 8 never onside

That goes both ways. The stats indicate if GPS got all their kicks they would have won by even more.

Modern day League players greatly overestimate their ability. They are no longer professionally fitter nor are big hits limited to League. Not very many of them at all would succeed in Rugby Union - particularly League forwards and inside backs. As a generalisation it has usually been only...

GPS new clubhouse facilities to be officially opened on 24 Feb.

I believe the second tour match is being played as a curtain raiser for the Drua/Crusader game

The best teams at present win the majority of collisions in both attack and defence, which the Wallabies are currently poor at. In attack this provides better platforms for the ensuing phases and creation of opportunities, while in defence provides better opportunity for pilfers and counter...

I agree he should be playing consistent Club Rugby (noting there is no NRC and no-one should be playing NRC anyway unless they are first playing very well in Club Rugby). I am a supporter of the Tom Lynagh model where you can be brought on to some form of Super Rugby contract or incentive - but...

He has never proven himself at Club level, as he was promoted to Super Rugby far too quickly. I do not support players being 'developed' at Super Rugby level until they have shown they can play at least one full season against men at Club level (not under age) and regularly dominate. Not...

Ist Grade play one 10 min extra time of Golden Point, then higher placed finisher from competition rounds. All other grades are declared joint Premiers with no extra time played. See Competition Rules 10.1 VIII to X

It is an absolute travesty that the Aussie women's team do not get more recognition in Australia. They are a global brand of high performers getting more media attention from other countries than they get here. There is no better group of ambassadors for women's sport in Australia, who while...

Well RSA failed to make the top 8 and NZ, Samoa and Argentina are all now in the other side of the draw until the Final. If we beat Kenya in our quarter final we will be up against either Fiji or USA (probably Fiji) in order to get through to the Final.

We did. 19-14

Technically correct decision as one leg went above horizontal, but harsh. Wouldn't have affected the outcome though given it was a winger and there wasn't going to be any wide play with a penalty then lineout-a-thon to wind out the game. Pretty poor display all round by both the players from...

The Competition Rules for 2022 state all RA/QRU and RA Sevens contracted players are eligible, provided they meet the requirement to have been registered in QPR by 3 July 2022. This does not include players from Super Rugby teams (other than the Reds) who do not have a Rugby Australia contract...

This is not what happens. Many of the squad outside the 23 are either not released or do not choose to go back and play for their Clubs (at least in QPR). Additionally, some players in the 23 are selected too early before they have proved themselves against men. The paradigm needs to change...

Identify young talent, offer them some form of contract - but they don't go directly to a Super Rugby squad unless they are absolute freaks (and even then go back to Club Rugby if they are not up to it). Instead they have to go and prove themselves in QPR or Shute Shield level Rugby against men...

Rugby Explorer shows 4 tries each with goal kicking the difference

I was under the impression that GPS was one of the best managed grounds during the heavy wet weather with resulting little to no effect on the grounds.

I think three would have stayed as the number for Rennie had we not had the number of injuries in some key positions that have led to what might be called extenuating circumstances.
