No consistency with Colts 1 where three matches were played and Brothers v Bond was not. The Brothers v Bond match has had points shared while the result of the other three matches stand as far as match results and competition points go. In addition, the QRU did not cancel the reserve grade...

Two reserve grade matches were played and two weren't. The GPS v Wests match affected the final four while the other match played did not. GPS defeated Wests with a bonus point moving them to second place on the ladder in Rugby Explorer. Brothers were due to play Bond where the loser would drop...

It covers all grades. Ladders have been amended dependent on which grades completed a full round. Unlucky for 2nd grade where clubs completed Rnd 17 matches and got a positive result but thems the breaks. See link below...

Your interpretation is incorrect. You must read Competition Rule 10.2 in its entirety, but in particular 10.2 (ii) which identifies only RA, QRU and RA Sevens contracted players as eligible. Non QRU playeres (eg Rebels players) not contracted to RA or RA Sevens are not eligible unless they...

I don't believe any leniency can be shown. The competition rules are quite specific about the limits of the discretionary powers of the management committee - see below. 'To reiterate, the only discretionary power available to the Management Committee is in regards to injury to the player for...

McDermott's passing and box kicks tonight putting a lie to these being a e weakness

After this weekends results, a few things are now set in stone points wise. UQ and GPS will play the Major Semi. Easts, Souths, Norths and Sunnybank cannot make the four. The competition over the next three rounds is really all about Wests, Brothers and Bond. It will be interesting to see...

I suspect that the key is the last phrase in regards to touching the ground ahead of turniver attempt'. If you look at the breakdown you will see the French regularly have at least one hand and sometimes two on the ground before or during securing of the ball. It is very obvious in the last...

That is correct.

An astute person might read the Competition Rules http://www.qrra.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/QRU_comp_2021.pdf

. McDermott' s clearances on the other hand were far quicker at the base of rucks and scrums leading to faster phase play allowing the forwards to get over the gain line. That speed difference would have made significant difference early in the game.

A backline of White, JOC (James O'Connor), Perese, Paisami, with Korobeiti and Vunivalu on the wings and Hodge at FB would be good; along with McDermott, Ikitau and Daugunu on the bench. Only three of that ten played tonight. McDermott has to start while White is out injured.

McDermott already making a difference

Gordon is having a shocker. Hope McDermott gets a run sooner than later.

Saw what appeared to be a bewildering decision in the Reserve Grade match between GPS and Easts in Brisbane last weekend. A GPS player following play knocked the ball a long way backwards towards his own goal line when an Easts player attempted to pass it to another Easts player - while all...

That's a big margin for the Easts / GPS game given GPS will be missing five regular 1st graders this Saturday, including the 10, 12, 13 inside backs combination. I believe four of them are attending a wedding and the fifth is gone for a few weeks rep duties with Tonga.

Is anyone able to provide an update on how the redevelopment is progressing out at Ballymore?

Yeah. Why a Brothers front rower wasn't yellow carded for six scrum penalties in a row demonstated this.

Miotti is light years better than McIntyre. He is play making in the close channels very well. Why the Force play McIntyre is absolutely beyond me.

One third of the competition rounds complete. Any punters want to update their preseason predictions? How many competition points will be needed to make the four this year? Do Easts still have a mathematical chance?
