The Optus Oval pitch was very slippery for State of Origin and 6 days later, I am expecting the same. Will be a clear dry night and a 6pm kick off, but hopefully the Gold have packed their long studs.

You would assume this is pretty close to the preferred team based on the various camps. But playing games under pressure is a different beast. So obviously there will be lots of changes for the Fiji game to rest some and to give others an opportunity and then the best XXIII for NZ, based on who...

Then in rescheduled R4, they play against Easts on 9th July.

Really pertinent post PC. The disrespect is everywhere. The AFL have cracked down on it (probably more than they should have so it is being somewhat unwound) and other sports need to do the same. The English referees don't tolerate it and therefore, the players don't make a fuss. Some real...

Good point. But with the NRL canning their U20 comp, there was a window there for RA to showcase the talent in their code. Perhaps they're worried about poaching so they keep it all behind academy walls. Does nothing to promote the game or give younger boys and girls something to aspire to...

Meanwhile the NRL gets another one up on Rugby. Even facilitating free tickets and buses for schools. Smart promotion. https://www.nrl.com/news/2022/06/02/Sua'ali'i-mam-walsh-could-all-feature-in-new-under-19s-origin/ But don't worry, we will get the NRC and the URC back up and running one of...

I think you have some good points actually. Not necessarily QPR but just some interstate trials would have been worthwhile. Meanwhile in NZ, they have just wrapped up the Bunnings Warehouse Super Rugby Under 20 competition. https://www.superrugby.co.nz/u20...

I get where you're coming from SouthernX but Hough has a few older lads in front of him at this level this year. He will get another chance next year.

Dowling has played Randwick First Grade at 10 and Australian 7s. He's a year older than Gordon and Annan, who will get their chance next year along with Hough. Gordon, Hough and Faifua are all Wests so I can see what you're doing there Reg. Perhaps it is wishful thinking that many QLDers will...

Possible XV 1. P Tagg (NSW/Syd Uni) 2. T Maka (NSW/Gordon) 3. S Amone (WA/ex-Norths in Sydney) 4. J Callan (WA) 5. L Faifua (QLD/Wests) 6. G Gibson (NSW/Southern Districts/ex-QLD) 7. N Slack-Smith (WA/ex-Barker College) 8. T Nofoagatatoa (ACT/ex-Nudgee and Brothers QLD) 9. K Thomas (QLD/UQ) 10...

Wow!

The QPR 2022 Competition Rules are pretty clear with respect to Final Series player eligibility. If they are a Contracted player and registered with a club for the season no later than 3rd July, they do not have to have played a minimum of matches. All RA/QRU and RA Sevens contracted players...

It would be enough players if the Reds had exclusivity on their selection and development. But the Brumbies, Rebels and Force are pretty active.

Would they consider a move to Sunday or too hard? BOM forecast Friday 40-80mm, Saturday 5-20mm, Sunday 1.2mm - 4mm Accuweather forecast Friday 9mm Saturday 3mm Sunday 1.5mm

The Clubs like it, the fans love it, and Stan cracks an almighty Benjamin Bratt when a quality name comes to play grade.

It is great to see all this talent come back to QPR.

Indeed. Actually, I do not mind the concept. It is fostering conversations and commentary like this thread for a start. The selection process might need fine tuning because ten players from three clubs does sound a bit out of balance. And none from Jeeps? Maybe they are playing as a team like...

National U19 Championship DATE - 8 October - 12 November 2022 Under 19 teams to be selected after the respective grade competitions are completed.
