And between $250 - $400 seems to be the going rate for juniors around the clubs.

It's better than nothing, or worse. Internet rumours.
Can confirm. Our little west side club $275
Good to see club rugby getting exposure this early in the year. The grassroots and community rugby clubs are the thriving heartbeat of Aus rugby and we need more of it. Hopefully the reds qpr media team second this and provide even more insights into our qpr clubs.
good to see the clubs who have been cellar dwellers for a while be boosted by reds, new players, returning players and transitioning players. Is anyone out there brave enough to give their fearless predictions (table positions) yet?

I think there's a couple guys pushing social media content centered around the QPR and not just Prems. Ralph Noga is one of them. Would be really good for the game if that continues.

Love Ralph's work. Let's all get behind him and subscribe to his YouTube.
Not according to the article on Rugby.com.au by Jim Tucker. Free entry is quoted at the end of the article.

It's both - the game is free entry but Brothers are selling a variety of packages (club lunch, drinks package, etc) which include a guaranteed seat in the Northern grand stand. The rest of the seating/standing space should be open to everyone.

a lot of unknown names on that list.
Will be interesting to see if anyone unknown goes into higher honours.

heard that this Speight guy might be quite useful
. Where has Henry been? Good to see him back in club, is he hoping to pick up a Super Rugby gig?

Back from Biarritz after they were relegated. I'd be surprised if he was pushing hard for a Super Contract at 36, probably just capping off his career with a season or two for the fun of it. That said if he still has a good turn of pace he could be a handy call up if the Reds have an injury crisis in the outside backs.heard that this Speight guy might be quite useful

I know I have mentioned this before but it really irritates me - the Brothers bloke who wears the “medic” bib - poor young Charlie Brosnan laying seriously injured on the field and he’s in the Brothers huddle screaming instructions. He didn’t even help carry Charlie off the field. Mate are you really a medic? I sense you aren’t so don’t abuse the privilege and responsibility of the red bib.

He is a repeat offender but the club doesn’t sanction him.

Nope it’s win at all costs down there but congratulations to them for the win.

Great day at Crosby yesterday. It was a festival of rugby - I’m guessing the bar and canteen did huge numbers - propping up the books of QPR’s evil empire.
Unsure what a Australian club rugby championship looks like but the past 2 events having curtain raiser games of significance (last year qpr woman vs Shute shield Sheilas) and this year with qpr runners up vs Canberra rugby… I think the blueprint for the comp is somewhere in there.
Does anyone know why Brisbane has hosted the club championship game 2 years in a row? Only thought is last year with it being Sydney Uni - maybe they don’t have the flexibility with their own grounds considering they share it with other university sports?

Might be something to do with it. Uni play on oval 2 which can be configured for soccer while oval 1 is cricket at this times of year.
Coogee oval (Randwick) is cricket right now as well

Not sure what prep was like for Vikings, game was reportedly a late decision.
As of Tuesday last week they were still booked in for a trial game against Southern Districts in Sydney. SD ended doing a 1st v 2nd game.
