Qld Premier Rugby 2012

[Jets]

Yes Leilua, Genia, Statham and Tupuse are all back. As I say, good potential with a mix of experience and good young prospects.

Is Rob Routledge still around too? If so the backrow should be ok at the Kennel.

Yes, he's back as well and is right in the mix.

For all Easts supporters get excited. http://www.eaststigers.com/profiles/to-be-announced-soon/

Argentine international, 34 caps, star winger Horacio Agulla matches the description identically.

The home page also confirms the signing of Ulupano Seuitini (UJ), with the full squad to be announced soon.

Was surprised to see that Dallas Anderson, Easts player 2011, was playing league ( Souths v Sunshine Coast Eagle) in the local comp on channel 9 today!!

Brothers and Sunnybank have a full club trial on at Sunnybank this weekend. It will be a good test of where both clubs are at the moment. Any news on other trials?

 

[tigerland12]

Tigers are playing Norths at Norths I'm pretty sure

 

[Jets]

So I'm guessing Souths are playing Wests?

 

[Scott Allen]

No, Wests v Easts at Easts

 

[Pieman]

So I'm guessing Souths are playing Wests?

Pretty sure it's Souths v Norths at Norths.

 

[Jets]

And Uni v GPS anyone? Where would that be played as both clubs don't have their grounds yet. Kenmore maybe?

 

[tigerland12]

No, Wests v Easts at Easts

My bad, Norths must be next week. It's hard to keep up the draw when you're no longer playing!

 

[tranquility]

How the hell did the Tigers get Agulla? and what is he doing out here?

 

[Jets]

He looks pretty handy. Here is his profile from the other Tigers

[tranquility]

He is a gun.

 

[East Coast Aces]

I don't think Horacio will actually be playing for Easts. It's probs just a test of their new website. Besides he wouldn't keep up with the tigers wingers Chris Mansel and Johnny 'Van' Wilder

 

[tigerland12]

And Joel Faulkner. But it would be ridiculous if he did play, would be great value to have a current international playing club footy.

Also welcome East Coast, wish i thought of using that as a name!

Cheers Mate.

This is the year of the Tiger. My prediction is Toby White will be the leading try scorer for the Comp and Matty Brandon will kick the winning conversion for the Grand Final

Tips and Scorelines for the weekend?

 

[East Coast Aces]

Tigers to beat Wests in every grade. Prem grade scoreline 33 - 21

Would have tipped similar but have heard on the grape vine that wests lower grades are looking strong with a lot of premier players from the last 2 years dropping down to let some of the new blood through. Also former reds player geoff abrams is pulling a jersey on.

the rest of the grades I haven't heard much but if its to be believed that easts have half the academy turning up for them i cant see wests getting up, However i can give an insight into norths and I am expecting them to win most grades with rather larger wins in both premier and premier colts. Excellent recruitment over the post season has led to alot of peopel who were higher grades last year to drop down. Also a large influx of St. pats and Nudgee boys mixed with a good core of returning colts form last year have the squad looking primed and ready for a top 3 finish.
