Not sure how informed your views are but if the most successful rugby club in the UK have adopted it, there must be some merit in considering. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/jan/21/saracens-artificial-pitch-rugby-union https://turfmate.com.au/fake-turf-for-woollahra-oval/

How long before one of the Brisbane clubs puts in a synthetic turf field like Easts in Sydney? Would make sense at Toowong.

As the shadows of season 2023 lengthen, I cannot see much change in the contenders next year. Will UQ be back with a vengeance? I have heard the recruitment drive is strong.

I like the idea. Would have to start very early unless they got the lights happening. Maybe its a round 1 or 2 day so its better daylight. So Brothers get bye round 1 and have to play? That works !!

For the odd team out, pick a combined Reggies team from the other 8 clubs to play them.

2000 - beat Argentina twice, South Africa three times, NZ 1-1, beat Scotland, France and lost to England by 3 points 2001 - won Lions series 2-1, a loss and a draw to South Africa, beat NZ twice, flogged Spain, lost to England, lost to France and beat Scotland 2002 - beat France twice, 1-1 NZ...

Maybe Wests get up this weekend against Brothers who have had to win a lot of games in a row to make it to here. But it's a brave bet. The last time Brothers lost they scored 31 points against GPS 58 in round 16 but since then have beaten Souths and put on 48, Wests (44), Easts (35), Easts in...

Rematch of Easts v Brothers this weekend in reserves. In the round 18 game, the scrum advantage (referee arm out) to a dominant Easts pack that then disappeared because it was simultaneous with the ball coming out Brothers' side was a tough decision. But it didn't cost Easts the game.

Yes, you feel Wests have too much big game experience and representative power for Bond today. If Easts turn up tomorrow and mark Creighton a bit closer, they will win. Brothers intimidate but they are not that impressive without O'Connor.

Brothers Reserve Grade and Colts 1 playing on Saturday. Easts Reserve Grade and Colts 1 playing on Sunday. That could be a difference in terms of bench impact, depending on injuries and fitness. On the flip side, Easts playing at home is an advantage for their teams. Sudden-death Sunday should...

This week could decide the 4 and the minor premiership in one game.

It has been probably been raised but the All Blacks v Wallabies Test in Dunedin is on at 12:35pm AEST on 5th August. Not sure this is great scheduling for those who like to attend their local Colts and Club team's games. "But we are connecting to grassroots!"

Yes they should walk away with 10 points and do everyone a favour by beating Brothers.

GPS and UQ can start planning for next year after really disappointing competitions compared to the recent past. Unless GPS can beat Brothers and Bond at home and Norths and Sunnybank away. Quite possible but they haven't won 4 in a row for a while!!! They must be bemoaning the banana skin game...

Brothers (4th) are 7 points ahead of GPS. Whilst I can see Jeeps maybe having a win over Brothers, they looked like their 15, 12 and 9 were all injured v Easts. But they have depth at the club so you never know. I am not convinced by Brothers who still look too slow, are flat track bullies...

The top 3 have enough buffer to remain in the top 3. Souths and GPS are 3 wins behind third-place Bond who you think will beat Norths so neither will gain any ground. I cannot see Souths beating Easts this week. I don't believe Souths have recorded a win since their U20s team members departed...

That is the strongest backline we have had this tournament. Although, Morrison (15) is unlucky as he played well v NZ and McLaughlin-Phillips is not a fullback. Is Morrison injured? Not even on the bench but perhaps Mason Gordon has more utility. Bryant unlucky too because he has been one of...
