Qld Premier Rugby 2022

Have you got control of the party scene over there?

Old saying of “The standards you walk past are the standards you accept” holds true for Mowen. He set the standards and lead the way to the 2020 premiership for Easts. Can’t see his standards slipping as a coach. Get the feeling they will be there abouts this year.

Mowen making good progress.

Not mine to control but good point, it is certainly a "thing" at Tigerland. I can't say whether it's any different at other clubs. We'll just have to wait and see what influence the new coaching team has on this aspect of Easts' culture.

 

[Happyman]

I would suggest that the lower levels at most clubs is about the party as it should be. The guys in Prems and Reggie’s are usually taking it a bit more seriously.

 

[Ruck n Maul]

My tiger man informs me that Easts prems squad are off to straddie for a long weekend, where they've been told there won't be any rugby equipment packed. A long weekend with an extended rugby squad on the beers...what could possibly go wrong? To be fair at my age, that weekend sounds like a dream.

Any grade trial game schedule?

GPS posted this the other day. I'm hearing GPS & UQ 1st and 2nd Grade, Colts 1 and 2 will play each other.
The rest will be 3-way games, (eg Dalby 1's vs GPS 3's v UQ 3's etc). The road trip is almost worth dusting the boots off!

GPS have confirmed Tasi Tasi is with them this season too

Shame. Bond's best player last year

Good to see the Reds acknowledging the clubs in the team lineups

Jeez that’s a fair few Brothers boys isn’t it! Fair play to them

Yep credit to the Filth - to my knowledge the only one to come from another senior club was Stewart? All the others are Brothers bred or recruited straight from school ala Tupou

Creighton played colts at Norths before coming across.

Most of them went to Nudgee College too?

Not so much, I know at least Wilson went to Terrace, Stewart Toowoomba Grammar and McReight Grammar.

Outside the Brothers boys who went to Nudgee, Mafi and Zander are also products of the school. So there I heaps of representation from that area in this Reds squad.

It helps to have Sam Cordingley corralling Reds players in the direction of Crosby Rd.
This was certainly the case for Taniela.

Having said that Wilson, McReight, JOC (James O'Connor) have always been associated with Brothers.

 

[Bulldog]

Hoopert and Stewart both went to Toowoomba Grammar.

Ryan Smith went to St Pat’s Shorncliffe

so most of them did not in fact go to Nudgee.

Not a lot of traffic lights between Ballymore and Crosby Bulldog.

Stoked for Spencer getting his shot.
