While we are on the subject of props I believe Bond Uni have started a couple of games uncontested in premier reserve grade this season. Apparently if you start uncontested in premier reserve grade you don't have to drop a player down to 14 men? When did the rules change?
I was talking to the boys after GPS trial game against Brothers on the wknd and they have informed me that prems reserve grade forwards coach Tonga Lea'aotea has walked from the club.
I was having a beer on the wknd with some of the GPS boys and they were saying that Freney is having a shoulder operation and could be out for the season. I also heard that Michael Warman has returned to coach as well. Another coach that has been given the arse by Herbert and co a few seasons...
The Big Dog I see there has been some movement at Yoku rd in the coaching ranks and on the committee. I think Stu Hendricks being named as Head coach of reserve grade is a massive step up for him just like James Thompson being head coach in prem colts. I see JR is now president and Geraldine...
Thanks TheBigDog for clarifying that!
The only Surprising thing to me is why would you go back to GPS when Herbert is still there running the show! Pretty comical that the one person that gave him the arse in 2013 he's now back working with!
Hey TrainerGB I heard the other day that Andrew Taylor has been moved on from Norths and is now back at Yoku rd? I thought surely this can't be right Squizzy heading back to GPS after Herbert & Mcwhirter gave him the arse 2yrs ago with dozen or so other coaches!
I watched last nights trial game as well as I was interested to see how Souths were looking after appointment of buzz and Turqui as coaches. Both games were extremely scrappy but I did think wests looked a touch better organised as a unit. Souths looked ok but definitely pretty rusty across...
I spoke to straker the other day and I believe he's heading O/S to play? As for Sikimeti I think he's moved on as well? Is Dave Howard or Josh pszczonka still playing at GPS ?
Big Dog since you were down at GPS training last night who's coaching reserve grade mate? I I heard before Xmas they were still looking for a coach or Dammers was going to dual coach reggies and prems?
I heard on the grapevine Kotze has signed up to play with Gold Coast next season I'm not too sure what's going on down at Yoku road but obviously with the change of personnel in the coaching ranks some players have walked which is not good at all!
I spoke to Nathan a few weeks ago and he informed me due to a few head knocks this season plus a few ongoing injury concerns he's hanging up the boots for now. I think he will make a fantastic coach but yes it is abit risky to be thrown in the deep end as prem colts head coach first up? Good...
TrainerGB I caught up with Squizzy taylor the other day and he's extremely excited to get the preseason going for prem colts. I thought he did an excellent job this season with mick Cronan as he told me he was nearly going to give coaching away after GPS gave him and a few others the arse in...
TheBigDog and Galloper it's great to see preseason kicking off this wk down at Yoku rd. both Dammers and Miles must be looking forward to it. With Fogs and Sio now at norths who's going to do reggies? I hoping maybe Kelevi steps up from prem colts or Kim jones and stu Hendricks gets a chance at...
