I know it’s been mentioned previously, but is there a firm outcome on how many games a player needs to have played to be eligible for finals? It this the same for Qld and out of state players?

From what I’ve read, players must play 6 games, either starting or off the bench. This doesn’t apply to Super Rugby players.

Unless the rules have changed since the last few years, it doesn't apply to players registered with the Reds, I thought Super Rugby players from other franchises must follow the standard 6 game rule, unless dispensation is allowed.

That is correct.

Yep , previously only signed Reds’ players have got exemptions from the minimum number of games required to play finals.
The only other avenue is an injury dispensation where you can prove injury prevented you from playing the minimum number of games required. Not sure how often that has been successful.

Chris Feauia-Sautia named for the Bank this week. Expecting some physicality after a season in France.

He made his debut for them a few weeks ago, he was solid, both in stature and ability.

Yep the few times I’ve seen an injury dispensation get up are usually a Premier Grade player gets injured early in the season, that clubs Prem team isnt going to make finals so they run him out for reggies a few times and then seek dispensation. I believe GPS tried this one year with a few injured Prems guys and their highest team in finals was 4th grade. Got in a bit of strife! Although I’m sure not the first club to try it on.

Always rated him. Was his signing a 1 or 2 year deal?
After almost a month here is the table for the tipping comp. Will work on a better system for next time I'm away.
Heavy Unit, Learning Curve, NJ and Keeno are probably the only ones in the running to take out the title.

Tennyson, Sunnybank and Norths makes sense from facilities and spectator perspective. As does GPS (except for parking but many will be making a big day of it so expect that Ubers and buses will be running hot to Suncorp Stadium for the Colts or Women's GF - whichever is deemed PC to hold first...)
Let's hope the rugby community pack GPS and fill the western side of Suncorp too!

I assume the test will be shown live on the big screen between the final two GF's?
