I think you might find that Brothers will be in the Third Grade Major Semi-Final not Souths. It looks like their result from yesterday hasn't been put in Rugby Explorer yet. Not sure why!

 

[LearningCurve]

Is there a policy of neutral grounds for semi finals (Wests playing UQ at GPS, and GPS playing Brothers at Wests) or is it just availability of fields with Ballymore out?

No. It was tendered out.

 

[Bulldog]

I hope GPS address their Doherty Shield placing. They are the lowest club in the ladder who have a full assortment of teams down to 6ths and Colts 3

It’s the Doughty Shield.

 

[PhilClinton]

It’s the Doughty Shield.

Any notable omissions in your opinions? Didn't consider guys like Josh Fenner or Tautalatasi Tasi due to picking up contracts mid way through season.

 

[Wilson]

Billy Bulley maybe unlucky, but I can't argue him above any of your outside back choices. TJ Siakasini the other, but with limited games it's tough to argue his case.

 

[SouthernX]

Heard one of the wests boys you have listed @The Whisperer has picked up a super rugby contract… not for me to break his/the teams announcement so you should hear about it all in due course.

Pat Morrey (UQ) - would be handy on the bench to cover the back half of a scrum.
Brad Twidale (UQ) - a class No 10

 

[Bulldog]

Who do people think are the favourites leading into the semis - Wests, Uni, Bros or GPS?

HAS to be Uni. Playing their best footy at the right time of the year.

 

[Wilson]

Yeah definitely Uni at this stage. Wests are looking a bit disjointed with returning players whereas Brothers might be a bit of a smokey with their returning wallabies/super players having slotted in well. Not clear who they'll still have though. GPS look well off the pace to me, but I haven't seen as much of their later season rugby as the other 3.

 

[PhilClinton]

The last few years, GPS have looked like a pretty one dimensional team, with a couple of key players who are able to carry them during periods of the season.

Guys in particular like Tasi Tasi, Matt Gicquel, Patty Nicholson and Josh Collins have been able to break games open and turn a 7/10 performance into 9/10 and get the win.

It’s no surprise they look a bit rudderless without them on the field now.
