Final score. Norths 15-12.

Forgot to add Norths are at $101

Ladbrokes are running a market on GF winner. UQ $3, Brothers $4, Easts $4.50, GPS $6, Wests $8, Bond $10, Souths $51 and Sunnybank $81 Always remember to gamble responsibly. I am sure a few bulldogs and a few magpies will have a crack.

Thanks Serge. Is the CM Journo, Nick Tucker related to Jim?

I watched The Season on the 2019 team. Very talented. Only goal kicking cruelled the result and stopped them from getting the job done against an equally strong TSS. The 2020 team was the redemption story so also enjoyed The Season "sequel" on them too. Hard to compare but undoubtedly the fellas...

Yes agree. Set the right expectation. Might also mitigate the club hopping or some of it.

Any Bond supporters on here? They should give this comp a shake? Any reports on trial matches? They would have 9 reps eligible from the U19 teams for a strong Colts 1 side - Aholei, Albertyn, Kelly-Knowles, Martin, Patelesio-Faamausili, Mayes, Mitchell, Stewart and Dowling.

The 4 hookers picked for U19s Maroon and U19s White last year and therefore all still eligible for Colts are: Tyrone Albertyn (Bond) and Angus Sawtell (Souths) Jake Tierney (UQ) and Ronin Nutley (Brothers) Any of them likely to start in QPR First Grade in 22 or is 23 more likely?

A few ex-Norths men now at UQ. Do you rate them TF?

I would expect they might play Colts or Reggies. Unless UQ has lost a lot of grade players? The score (17-12) doesn't look like total domination. How were GPS able to stay in it?

And what better endorsement of the Hospital Challenge Cup than a player that chooses to play here as a development initiative and then goes back home to play at the top level.

Ability to play anywhere is one component of rugby globalisation. Play and do business in whatever country takes your fancy. Experience the local culture etc. Supply/demand dynamics still dictate the opportunities and the risk/reward for clubs. And does not all have to be on a professional...

I would agree with the trip to the country and game time scheduling clash being a non-issue if there were lots of Reds v Brumbies games in a season at home. But there's one. It is the flagship event for the Reds this year. Imagine trying to encourage sponsors and membership/season packages when...

Regarding the other bloke - Henry - I would also like to see him get some more game time but Stewart is too established and has good combinations with other members of the backline. Campbell and Uru are big losses but the Reds coming in will step up to the plate. They are both Wallabies after...

Agreed. He has a few impulsive kicks that don't go right. He is not in the Campese rocks category just yet.

Colts will be at the High School according to Dalby rugby FB page. I wonder how the QLD Reds feel about a grade trial kick off half an hour before their Brumbies game? Perhaps GPS and UQ could have scheduled this when the Reds were playing away? There are precious few home Super Rugby games and...

With apologies to Reds fans and players alike. Just a bit of fun to break up the grammar nazis and spelling b's

Reds Halloween XV (as might be pronounced by Sean Maloney when they score a try) 15. Pet Die Ahhhhhhhhh 14. Dow Goon Ooooooh 13. Floooooooooooooooooook 12. Hunter Dies Army 11. Goon E Valooooooooooo 10. Oooooooh Connor 9. Fate Mac Die Mort 8. Hairy Wills Son 7. Razor Mac Fright 6. Liam Fright...

The bench is interesting today: Connal McInerney (debut) Bell and AA Swain and Samu McDermott, O'Connor and Petaia There are some serious finishing legs in that group. I expect the starting pack will try and fatigue Japan with size and then these guys will run over the top. Wallabies by plenty...

A big influx of Villanova old boys into Norths over the last 2 years complemented by the usual Padua and Pats alumni. Some good talent available for Colts next year so if they can do well and then stick around in the subsequent years for grade rugby, success is not too far away for the Norths...
