    QLD Premier Rugby 2019

    Is the Ballymore redevelopment actually going ahead now? I hadn't realised it was a definite. Does Wests have that much seating? I know it's a nice building but I didn't get the impression that the seating was that much bigger than anywhere else and parking around there is difficult. Maybe...

    Wallabies 2019 Thread

    Fair point, TK is strong in defence, not disputing that, but what you are saying is that the Kerevi/TK combination is not working because Kerevi is hogging the ball. So either the communication is not happening or Kerevi is ignoring him, or it is the game plan. I expect the 13 to be strong in...

    Wallabies 2019 Thread

    Petaia was very good in his Super Rugby appearances, the concern is how he will go coming back from injury. My guess is that they will do a lot of testing on him to see how he copes - the talent and game awareness won't go away but hopefully he can recover the speed and power. Given the other outside...

    Wallabies 2019 Thread

    What has Korobibete done to be a lock for a starting wing spot? Is it just the lack of other options? He chases kicks and rushes up in defence but then gets beaten and hasn't offered a great threat in attack. I Tevitia Kuridrani started the Super season poorly but finished well, now he is...

    TRC Round 2 : All Blacks vs Springbokke @ Cake Tin

    Bit of a concern if Mo'unga and Barrett get injured as I don't think anyone on the bench can cover 10 unless Bridge can. Some experimental selections up against a pretty powerful looking Bok side, should be exciting to see how they go.

    Wests had some very good moments this season BD, you should be pleased. Looking good for the future.

    TRC Round 1: South Africa v Australia, Sunday 21 July 1:05am AEST

    Sorry, misread this - replay at 1pm, on Fox doesn't appear to be a morning replay. I'm recording it.

    QLD Premier Rugby 2019

    I would think that Jake Strachan from Souths would be in the mix at 10, and Phoenix Hunt at 9 for Easts has looked good. Eli Pilz seems to mainly play 10 when Hunt is available, then go into 9 when he is not. Is Mataitini (who you have in the Country side) the Norths winger who is quite lean...

    Quade is taller than that. He is not short.

    He was a real handful yesterday for Easts - very hard to stop, great to see, and fantastic to see Ben Mowen out there in the 2nd half, looked in fantastic shape and lots of enthusiasm.

    Reds 2019

    That is correct but a coach who inherits a squad should also make the most of the resources he inherits- look at how different players can be utilised. Thorn could have tapped into QC (Quade Cooper)'s knowledge for the benefit of younger players like Stewart and given him a development role instead of exiling...

    Brumbies 2020

    Yes don't think he is looking for a contract, just a chance to turn out for his local club again - he played there as an amateur as did his father. Great to see that he is keen to do it - very few Reds players turning out yet in the Premier comp in Brisbane.

    Yes I think that's it, pretty interesting the things going on behind the scenes at the time.

    Ben Mowen is back in Brisbane - flew in from France on Friday, coming off the bench for his old club Easts this afternoon.

    As I recall the Wallabies negotiations were lead by Phil Kearns and the ABs by Sean Fitzpatrick (captains at the time) but when they went to hook up on a videoconference with SA the Boks didn't show because Louis Luyt, the powerbroker in SA rugby then, had got involved. Without the Boks (and a...

    Did he 'opt to play in Melbourne' though Reg? Or was he, like others, not wanted? I have no issue with GPS not getting him for the finals and wonder why he is playing in Brisbane rather than Melbourne, or why not Shute Shield if that is the top comp and he needs the competition, but given that...

    Reds 2020

    Nic White has only signed with RA - after the RWC he will go back to Exeter for the 2020 Premiership season, and only then will he finish with English rugby. Given that next year's Premiership final will be on the 20th of June, which is after the usual end of the Super Rugby normal rounds, he...
