I know of the "compass cup" trials: March 13th Wests @ Souths Easts @ Norths March 20th Norths @ Wests Souths @ Easts March 27th Norths @ Souths Easts @ Wests April 10th Round 1 of QPR !

Bit like the Nasser @ hooker "experiment"... And we let Joe Cotton go to NSW.

Surely 1080p is fine and suitable for most of us. Kayo don't offer anything in 4K as a comparison. As long as there is no pixelated buffering viewing, I'm happy. Simple man :D

From my grapevine - Missi , Ozzie V (went to one Norths training session before Christmas) & Paul Ah Him are still at Wests and were training there last night. Jono Kent from GPS + Ethan Dobbins from Brothers to Wests as well. AJ Alatimu had also been training at Wests, but as Ruck n Maul...

Im pretty sure Scotty Malolua was completing a carpentry trade a few years ago when he took time off rugby (semi-retired I guess), until Brad Thorn convinced him to come back and play. Perhaps he wants to go back to work, and also the shoulder that he injured playing for Samoa might not be...

Stan Sport settles on price, set to make Shute Shield a priority (copy and paste of article below) Stan has settled on a price for its new sport package as the launch date of the new home of rugby nears. Speculation about the Stan Sport product has been building in the new year, with the...

Whats everyones thoughts on the inclusion in the squad of Isaac Henry. A top point scorer in QPR in 2019 with Wests, he made the move to Canberra and the brumbies last year where he was again a top point scorer for the Vikings and also won the MacDougall award (equivalent to the Alec Evans...

Looks like GPS lose a bit of strike power with the running muscle Abele Atunaisa off to the Hunter Wildfires in the Shute Shield. Any other mildly significant player movements we've heard about?

It appears Sunnybank could be without their captain next year. I hear Tom Lucas is only on a train & trial contract with Norths Devils Rugby League... but still.. big loss if he is looking for other opportunities.

RugbyPass article for reference: https://www.rugbypass.com/news/report-james-oconnors-shock-request-to-leave-australia-for-super-rugby-aotearoa/ A report from the New Zealand Herald suggests O’Connor has sounded out the Chiefs as a potential playing destination in 2021. The Herald reports...

New inclusion at the kennel premier coaching staff. Plus the incumbent 3rd grade coaching staff have moved up to 2nd grade.

I heard on the (very flimsy) grapevine that Shane Drahm is heading to Norths next year. Not sure if replacing Luke Oxford or joining him though.

Ground availability at UQ.. time of year etc

Speaking of Norths; I was looking at the Xplorer app to see if any team lists were up yet. Norths has a team up, and Patrick Byron has been listed as Head Coach for Round 2. Last week it was Luke Oxford. Have they given the latter the sack? Or perhaps just a typo?

QRU has to approve the trials and supply the referrees. Wests hosts Sunnybank

Many "trial" games on this weekend that we're aware of?

Unfortunately, no. He's a lad that was plying his trade up in QLD playing for UQ. Had a run in NRC with QLD Country under Brad Thorn in 2017, and I believe prior to that too... He's from Toowoomba. 99% sure no relation to Jacques ;)

Newcastle 45 - 7 Penrith. In the earlier colts and "second grade" games, Newcastle were successful in winning 71-0 and 24-0 respectively. Probably not a reflection of how Newcastle will perform against other quality opposition in the Shute Shield, so still very interested to see how they'll...

Is Ben Mowen playing for Easts this year?
