unbelievable, it does confirm nepotism is alive and well.

Any genuine arguments to back this up or another vibes call?

Just because he's the son of a club legend, and brother of an existing player - does not mean he isn't good enough to command a spot in the development squad on his own merit. The family reckon he's the best of the 3 brothers.

Or perhaps the lad can play? I read its a development contract, I understand he was in the Harlequins Academy and is on radar of of English selectors. I'm sure his Dad could pick up and the phone and asked for the Reds to have a look at him, but I can't believe the lad was picked just on his last name.

So it appears things are settling down in the off field transfer market......

Any word on Player Transfers? Has Mooney, for example, brought 30 blokes to Norths with him? They'll need that many to improve under the Head Coach they've got.

What about Souths? There was rumours circulating at one stage about a mass exodus. Did that happen?

Has Jim McKay's appointment at the Red Heavies attracted the attention of new players?

Isn't the bloke who owns Store Local on the Board of QRU?

He is on the board of RA, he stood down from his QRU role back in 2024 to take a RA position.

Store Local earlier this year extended their sponsorship of the Reds until 2027, and have taken a similar sponsorship up with the Tahs.
