QLD Premier Rugby 2026

I've heard Jim McKay isn't a lock - there is a group of UQ supporters/members who are supporting Slats and potentially Steve Moore as a specialist assistant coach.

Nothing like a forever wishful pony supporter to throw some s**t into the ring - watch this space

talking with a Souths mate, he said Kohan Herbert looks likely to be going to Bond next year, King too possibly. Think Herbert moving for work, not sure on King

It seems that Souths continue to disintegrate on and off the field.
Perhaps the Committee and its advisors should have accepted the offer of a rescue Business Plan from the business savvy old boy group back in 2023.
Also, whatever happened to the 2024 Premiership winning Colts 1 coach who was sacked by the committee?

Both Colts 1 coaches are at Wests, 1 assistant prem grade and 1 just announced womens head coach next year, he did reserve grade mens this year

Wallabies pay six-figure transfer fee to bring Carter Gordon back from Gold Coast Titans​

Very pleased to read this. Furthermore the article published in The Australian indicates Gordon will be playing for Queensland. That would mean Queensland would have Tom Lynagh, Harry McLaughlin-Phillips and Carter Gordon on their books as their 10's. Wonderful for depth but not sure all will get the development they require for the 2027 RWC? From a QPR perspective it would appear at least 1 of these 3 would be turning out in QPR each week in 2026. Good for Wests and University.

Is that confirmed?

Just reading that Ben Volavola has also signed with the Reds, not sure what club he'll go to, but HMP likely to seek opportunities elsewhere, probably NSW.

maybe for the reds chat, but I do feel as if they don't pursue their investments in youth at times.

In the end looking to more established players after wasting a load of cash, time and effort - Carter is definitely an upgrade but struth we decided to move on from JOC (James O'Connor) and Creighton only to recall Gordon.

I'd say flyhalf is probably the position with the most fall from professional to QPR at the moment and this should be great for the comp. Hegarty in the last couple games of the GPS season this year comes to mind, or the departure of Jude Gibbs at brothers, an absolute game changer.
