TT, I have been involved at 6 rugby clubs in different states over 5 decades and understand that there are far more similarities than differences but thanks for sharing your wisdom on the subject. Maybe we should enjoy the ride of supporting Rugby and be grateful that any allegiance we have to...

Yes TT, the stench of failure sits heavy in the air at Crosby. Just last week some of the old boys of were discussing the situation and it was agreed that 4 premierships in 8 decades was the new benchmark we should be striving for.

It is also a good lead in to the Reds v Tahs at Suncorp that night. I am sure that for many the Bottomley Park match up will rank higher in importance.

Fair enough Reg, if he was at Souths at the time that would explain the send off, those boys were a bit rough around the edges.:D

I think he was at Jeeps when he got sent TT and had been there for a few years.

He is still on the BBQ roster at Brothers, does a great burger old Shawry. Still looks fit enough to play and the crazy eyes can come out if you are not careful.

Well Filth, at least Brothers have produced more All Black captains than University!

Reg, I think many people undersell Wilson, he was premium. Would have looked great in the butcher stripes as well!

Green and Gold hoops, RWC vs Romania 1995

TT, I am sure that Filth won't need any help from me, quiz for you though. What was unique about the jersey the Wallabies wore the day that this player was captain?

I am with you Filth!

Quirk facing long rehab for knee, doubt he will be fit till mid '15

Hopefully it won't be long before there is no debate and they look to the skipper for the call.

TT, I agree that everybody benefits when the rep players turn out for their clubs but I also think that in the 70's/80's it was far more common for these players to be seen playing for their clubs. I think the frustration felt not only by the opposition but also the players having to move down a...

He would be handy TT, I have not been down at the club since the Uni game so I was not aware he was back in town.

All sorted Filth, the smartest one of the brood is on his way next year! I disowned the others when they made poor choices.:)

Judy Holt Park at Birkdale, home of the Mudcrabs, is named after Shredders Mum. Lovely lady and great supporter of the game. Nigel donated one of his Wallaby jerseys to the club and it hangs proudly.

I am a very old filth boy TT. Raised a family in the Redlands and had alot of involvement with the Mudcrabs via my boys. Redlands have been a strong feeder club to Easts over the years and the likes of Quirk, Carroll and Wilkin are good examples of Redlands players following the pathway via...

Really looking forward to watching the progress of Wilkin. First time I saw him play was U/11'S or 12'S for Redlands. Have seen plenty of him at club, school and junior rep level since and he has massive potential. Him and Gunn together is probably worth crossing the bridge to watch.

Any thoughts on young Matt Carroll filling this role, he is a solid unit with a good skill set.
