* Ivania has been good but I don't think she is getting the ball often enough, or with the opportunity, to show her speed and step * Brianna Dascombe has been a revelation at 13 for the Reds. I don't now her playing history but she has all the skills. I don't think she is dethroning G-Fred yet...

No one seems to be doing a Team of the Week for the Super W so I thought I would use my Easter break time wisely and watch a lot of rugby. Watched the games this weekend and then went back and watched Round 1 and 2 games. Every game watched in full and then the Mini as well so hopefully I...

Can anyone send me in the right direction to find details of the trials this weekend?

Went to the Souths-Wests trial last night as well and pretty impressed with my beloved Doggies. Very well organised Premier side and though that dropped off with the 1st Grade squad there are some good signs. Some real spark in the Premier backline with soem real jets out wide and looked to...

Big turn out. Fair few U15's playing up in 16's this year and with no U15's at the State Champs this was there opportunity for BJRU rep rugby. Also had the U16 City coaching staff running their eye of everything as well and they watched the boys go through skills sessions and about an hour of...

Well to add to the canning of the U16 Titles a source that I trust has told me that the BJRU will not be providing U15 and U17 teams for this year's State Titles. It seems like we are providing this great new delepment pathway with the Junior Gold Cup and then hoping that the boys will hang...

Heard a disturbing rumour, from a senior source that I trust, that the BJRU will not be fielding U15 or U17 teams for the 2014 State Titles. Seems almost negligent to have these age groups currently competing in the ARU Gold Cup and the to remove a chance for them to show their wares in front...

Sam Greene was on the sidelines so assumed he was injured. Hopefully it is nothing serious. Coordination was more of an issue for the U20's so I would suggest those 3, especially in those key positions, might help

Went to see the Doggies Premier squad take on the Qld U20 squad at Ballymore Saturday. Perfect weather, field in great nick, and a positive crowd...welcome back to rugby season. I think it was 3 tries to 2 to the U20's but the Doggies definitely showed some ticker and have unearthed at least a...

Has anyone thought of just finding out how the Kiwi's deal with this "3rd Tier" issue? Or maybe the Saffas? Surely the wheel has been invented in some respect and though their system may not be perfect, the dominance of Canterbury springs to mind pretty quickly, at least they have been running a...

http://www.redsrugby.com.au/Reds/FutureReds/Profile/tabid/1178/playerid/13/Default.aspx Tevita went to Uni after having already played for Fiji U20's so I don't think Uni should be claiming too much credit!

I would like the cap to have some flexibilty but in the long term I see this more as a way of influencing those players with no, or limited, club experience making a decision at the late teen / Colts age about where to go rather than the "recruitment" policies we are currently seeing for elite...

With all this discussion on whether we are looking at a franchise based system for the national comp why has no-one raised the idea of a player quota to keep the Premier comp relatively balanced? For example, if we have 4 sides merged for a team limit each club side to maybe 9-10 players, I am...

Jets, I am sorry but I disagree. Turning around a Colts program is never easy it needs multiple people, predominantly volunteers, putting in hours and effort to not only attract players but also to improve them as players so you can start getting the wins that will attract the next group...

Hopefully we will see Bryce Edwards holding down either the 15 or 10 jersey at IGS. Leftie with a great kicking game, good pace, and great vision on the field. League background as well so his defence is good as well.

Jets, I should be surprised that the QRU are charging for the field but I am not. For an organisation that should be supporting / developing rugby they don't always act like they are. It used to be that the hospitality contract was to an external company and they would always want to be paid...

Dark Shark, 10 years is a long time when it comes to professional rugby. Go back 10 years and there were no Force and no Rebels in Australia and we hadn't really seen the growth in USA rugby in 2003 so I don't think there was as much of a living to be made. In saying that it would be...

They have been getting worse every year for a while now. Details about the Ballymore Cup series is also non-existent so I sdhouldn't be surprised. I would have thought the schools would be pushing for this though as it gives them a chance to brag about any of their players selected to trial...

Don't hold your breath. QRRA referee match appointments might be your best bet http://www.qrrabrisbane.rugbynet.com.au/default.asp?id=120980. An insider has an interim copy of the draw based on that but not up on the website yet..I will post when I can get a copy off him. And maybe when the QRU...
