Reds and Academy have released a decent number of players for Round 1 this weekend:

Easts - Quirk, Bermingham, Faulkner, Stohlberg, Toua
Sunnybank - Leroy, Schatz, Matt Lucas, Tapaui
Uni - Buchanan, Davis, McDuling, Simon Morahan
Gold Coast - Kimmince, Butler
GPS - Coridas, Frisby
Brothers - Felsman

Good to see the support of the Premier competition. Will certainly lift the quality of some games.

I think Sunny Coast v Easts is the pick of the round.

I will be surprised if Tapaui plays as he injured his AC joint in the Bank's trial against Uni before Easter.

 

[Woopsie]

Am excited for tomorrow! Will wander down into Ashgrove.
Coridas- ex Eastwood boy now at Reds and Jeeps
Frisby - 2010 Colt of Year and Reds Academy
Kuridrani - back from the Broncos

Jeeps have some exciting young talent this year with Josh Logan who spent some tome with Reds Academy playing 7's and two boppers
from SA.

Very much looking forward to a beer in the Glue Factory

Managed to catch the last 5mins of Sunnybank v Wests. Sunnybank won 15-12 or 15-10 as Wests scored in the last play of the game and I didn't see if the Wests kicker made the conversion. Conditions look terrible.

 

[RugbyReg]

wow? Really? Was that at the Bank?

 

[Saders07]

it was at Sylvan Road, 15-12 to the bank (half time 8-0)

 

[WB15]

Wests are definately a darkhorse this year

 

[spectator]

As I mentioned on the tipping page, an interesting weekend of rugby. Very surprised to see Wests get that close, and hopefully it is a pointer that they will be a competitive side this year. Also surprised to see Souths getting that close to Uni. Admittedly Uni were without a multitude of rep players, but Souths were missing a few as well.

I went to the Easts - Sunny Coast match. Plenty of points scored, 50 -26 at the end I think. Shane Drahm was at 10. for Suncoast, and whilst he obviosly has some great skills, he overdid the cutout pass, which led to a couple of intercepts. Easts look like the team they have been for the last couple of years, very honest forward pack, great 10, and some good finishing on the outside.

 

[WESTCOMBE RANGER]

I read that the winger was brilliant !!!!!

Wingers for Easts were a young bloke, Mansell I think, very athletic and strong, but quite raw, ad Johnny Wilder, underrarted and elusive runner. Rounding out the back three was Aidan Toua who set up a try and scored a couple as well.

There was a young winger for Suny coast who also caught the eye.

 

[tranquility]

Johnny Wilder can play.

 

[spectator]

Johnny Wilder can play.

He scored a great individual try at the Coast this arvo. Easts up 37-10.

I heard GPS upset Uni, and Norths were flogged by the Bank. Not sure about the other games?

 

[Saders07]

Stingrays 41-29 over the Bulldogs

 

[tranquility]

He scored a great individual try at the Coast this arvo. Easts up 37-10.

I heard GPS upset Uni, and Norths were flogged by the Bank. Not sure about the other games?

How did Aidan go?

 

[feedhimbra]

Brothers got up over souths in every game im pretty sure including prem grade and prem colts winning by 20-30

 

[spectator]

How did Aidan go?

Very involved, scored a try and quite a handful in attack.
