From all graduating classes from last year isn't everyone meant to be 18 years old now so that by the time they roll around into a Colts program they are a genuine U19 player?

You are correct sir. I thought the penalty tie up was a soft option too. They were clearly dominant with plenty of time left and in that stage of the game you have to collectively trust that mojo , nudge it into the corner and back your rolling maul - that has worked very well for UQ for the...

One swallow would make my Summer just fine but yeah I get what you are saying. Let’s watch the space.

Didn’t omit Nick Baker, RnM, I had him as my 4 Yes, always have had notice on young Connor O’Regan - a very good talent. I mean the 9 spot in U20’s is stacked with this lad, Werchon, Thomas, Hearn and Kirk all top quality. I thought Athen Waia played R1 ? Anyway a number of these guys like...

Shane Arnold is the goods

Yeah I understood the drive of your post and my response was sort of a combined reply to your original post and the Courier Mail piece of yesterday that named a Colts team of the season (so far) To be honest as an U20's competition , further segmenting it into U19 Micky Mouse Rep when you...

Let's hope so. If you look at it over a 5 year period it actually been pretty ordinary in how it has been run. There was only 1 year with Michael Todd in 2019 when it was starting to hum and had some carry over into 2020 when he left. If you look around, Norths seem to be building well with...

Have to disagree here. They would have gone down by more , but within the bolded bit lies the rub. I don't wish to personalise things , however the elephant in the room needs to be addressed. The simple fact is he can certainly boot a ball but overall he's a net negative when on the field which...

It sort of says it all though. We've become a game that has caved to individual projection in what we perceive or hope them to be to maintain interest ,because , the game itself has fucked up over the last 20 years and mismanaged itself such that it is difficult to sell interest in the game...

Easts were arse after 10m to be honest, although, credit to their scrum that stayed in the whole game. I have no clue how they are at the head of the table and the number of games they have got through by a single score,surely,their 9 lives are up. Easts backs were pretty ordinary,(with the...

Wasn't Sam Wallis through the same Jason Gilmore coached Churchie teams of 2014 / 15 ? Thorn QLD 20's and then the Gilmore Junior Wobs (dunno he repped in either) Not taking anything away from him just underlining an earlier point about the benefit of tribe as you are coming up

You have to have standards though. Don't you?. I am not sure what the point is when you are already on top of the table and when you are likely playing your Grand Final opponent and you toss a parachute to a Schoolboy player who , if he's lucky, might play one other game for you during the...

There were 5 x BBC players in the Colts program in 2020 and there are presently 5 this year. 2 have stopped playing this year mainly due to work opportunities - but 2 more have joined in 2021 , one who didn't play last year and one who finished school last year. Terrace have had 3 to 4...

What is the NRC going to do for Matt Gicquel ? Not much is what I'd suggest. Some players get annointed - some don't. A lot of it depends on who you know or who knows you based on prior familiarity or being part of someone's tribe who then ascends to a position of influence . It guess it has...

Lucky Hearn played the 1st half with a hand in 2 tries. The flash flick passing highlight reel plays through the midfield still a problem with balls continuing to go to ground. The in form Jack Kelly scores 2 in the first half on the wing (with thanks to Finn Hearn on 1 of them ) and then...

Pretty close. I can live with Ripley on the wing and would have Elekana on the other wing. These 2 are finishers that like 1 on 1 match ups and whilst they can slay bums they aren’t effective in the midfield against decent defense. Attack stagnates. Defense isn’t a priority either. I wouldn’t...

^Finn Hearn back as well. Hearn, on his own, is probably the only true difference maker / game winner in his own right that the Students have in their Colts 1 squad. Will the wingers see the ball in rhythm on a draw -pass assist though? Irrespective of on field leadership being tuned out and...

Didn’t answer my serious questions though Bobby . You got anything ?

One who engages in try hard intelligence and then uses phraseology like “intelligence of knowledge” sounds like a Oneker to me

Cats have 9 lives I guess . Probs run out of them by the time the Finals roll around for a quick exit
