Would be interesting to see how this team of rejects would shape up against the "QLD Premier Rugby Barbarians" and NRC teams.

Honestly how is that a QPR Barbarians team when they have guys in there who I don't recall ever starting more than one premier game this year. How does Ed Gibson, Jeremy Skelton, Billy Thompson and Max Allen gain selection over players who have played premier rugby consistantly all year? Its...
I think Dammers did a great job to turn around the mess of last season and to only miss out on the finals by a whisker this year. If he was to stay I have no doubt we would be in the finals next year.
As for Wests I think they need to get a new coach for next season. Sadly it just hasn't worked...

Couldn't sleep so decided to put my selectors cap on and try to pick NRC teams for this season. With a lot of Reds players moving on and in the wallabies squad and some NRC regulars out injured there should be a few spots up for grabs for QPR club players.
It is a shame about the doggies season but as I've said earlier it was always going to be a tough year playing the entire season away from home and building that strong club culture. I'm sure having a new stadium next season will give your boys that extra motivation.
Having read some of the...
I haven't watched much of Wests this year but I've heard they demolished the uni scrum on the weekend. This year was always going to be hard for them with the redevelopment and being the only club in the competition not having any Reds representative players. Hopefully some of the new reds...
I have tried staying off the forums but after watching the game of the round today on the reds site I was left ashamed of our great game. There was an incident where the sunnybank #1 knocked out the west #1 with a shoulder charge and elbow to the head. What I have a problem with is when the west...
Great news about Tyrone.
I agree I don't think the Wests forwards where the most dominate in the competition but I think they where up there with one of the best scrums which I think at least one of their front rowers should have at least got a look in. Our scrum was by far one of the worst...
I wonder if the props at Wests are being let down by the connections they're club/coaches have with NRC coaches. For them to not get a look in anywhere really is unlucky and I hope they don't move elsewhere because of it (unless they want to make the move to ashgrove). I've never rated the wests...
I have heard the same rumours and I could only imagine they would be heading over to souths with the rest of the former GPS contingent. We are just as bad as the Reds board. Dammers should have got his marching papers straight after the end of the season. The players dont respond well to his...
For him to stay at Wests next year is testament to his character. As much as I would love to see him in the green and blue (God knows we need him) Wests need to do all they can to keep him at the club. If they have any chance of building off this season they need him there. I think they will be...
Thats a great attitude to have.
We are lucky to have a guy of his caliber in our club competition. He was by far my favorite player to watch and very unlucky not to get picked. I hope the selectors next year actually watch every club game to ensure someone of his talent doesnt get overlooked...

If Anthony is out for the entire NRC campaign surely they would have to bring in the Wests centre Tyrone Lefau. Still not sure why he didnt make the initial squads as he was close to one of the best centres in the comp by far and has spent time in the Force system as well as a few season playing...
Thats the kind of attitude that is killing the Reds atm. Choosing guys who havent earned theyre spot but because they have "potential" or they are related to someone who is good. I would take a guy who has performed all year at premier grade over someone who is a fringe premier level player but...
