Yes mate compound fracture of the leg and the corner flag was used as a splint.
one of the UQ players helped out also a paramedic. Apparently the noise was quite loud on the field. One can only hope for a speedy recovery for the young man.

After watching West’s yesterday I’m convinced they should be easily a top 4 contender. Their forward pack is massive and easily handled Brothers forwards. Gordon and Henry have both bulked up as well. Both sides were rusty first half however West’s pulled away with some good play in the second half. Does anyone know if Carter is back for good? If west’s can keep the nucleus of that side they will be serious premiership contenders. Brothers will struggle until they can get back their Reds stars however that won’t be anytime soon.

If they can keep Gordon they are def contenders this year, I hope its a sign that the Gordon boys aren't signed for 2022 as yet. How good is Gordons boot he has a pretty decent kick on him still looks pretty lean though, Sorovi looked good too.

Good to see National coach watching from the stands plenty of SRAU level players on show.

Unfortunately for the Brothers players they believe everything they hear coming from the Butchery which in turn motivates their opposition especially the Skeltons and Ethan Dobbins who was extra fired up by Flook who was a bit lippy and had a very average game for mine, the brothers who are ex Brothers must have loved the comprehensive towelling they delivered. Must be hard having Australia’s best talent on the bench but no sympathy here.
I thought Dallan despite struggling with technology gave a good unbiased coverage

We got hammered! All the same the "Harlem globe trotter"stuff by Bond at the bell was breath-taking. Tigers with a need for a W at this point.

GPS were bloody lucky though credit to Norths I thought they played the better rugby for the majority of the match. The centres for GPS were very very poor with Norths making linebreaks at will. Lucky our scrum kept us in the game, Zander got a towelling.
I'll take the win but we'll need to improve out of sight to contest against the big dogs.

Excellent work. Who is the guy with Rennie?

I think we were too confident coming into the game and at half time. Wests got their rhythm and seem to change their plays, or maybe dropped their game plan and went with Gordon and Henry’s direction. West’s forwards outplayed us, and will be real contenders this year. Flook didn’t have the strength in playmaking skill from Creighton and James and couldn’t do too much more than he did. But you’re right, he was very average.
Sorry guys, have been on holidays so didn't get sorted. Anyone keen for a comp starting this weekend?
Went and watch Brothers v Wests on the weekend. Was really impressed with Carter Gordon. He's a good size and looked to get a second touch on the ball, something I really like in a 10. I'd take him back at the Reds but I can't see Thorn wanting him back. He chose to leave so he didn't want to be here. Like lots of Newstar managed players he may end up in Japan. Unless the Rebels see the light and start using him as a 10. Should be getting time off the bench so MT can move to 12.

What do you mean Jets by second touch of the ball?
I think Carter does all the little things exceptional and I am curious what you mean by this.

When Mark Ella was the 10 for the Wallabies during the Grand Slam Tour of ‘84 they said that if he got a second touch of the ball in the same play it normally lead to a Wallabies line break or try and if he managed to get third he scored himself .
It’s all about staying alive in the play and not automatically just looking to set up for the next phase . Nobody ever accused Ella of being a robotic , set piece sort of fly half .

I was a little disappointed by Carter, I assumed he would've filled out a little more and he failed to kick the ball out twice off of a penalty - although he probably hasn't played a game in ages so some teething problems like that are expected. Exceptional defensively though
What Nomad said, he passes the ball and follows the play so he can be an option to get the ball again. A couple of times he was there to catch the ball and spin it wide when runners were caught or they crashed the ball up.

Carter was great IMO. As was Isaac. Tackles hard for a 10, he looks light because he's tall.
When he first came onto the scene at Wests a couple of years back I bagged him a bit for pushing out Mosley and Henry. But the Carter right now is good.
