As I said , I only heard the end of a conversation.
Actually, I do remember a mention of non contact for young kids a short time ago. Unless they intend to make it like touch,
I think it would be a backlash it that’s what they intend.

Junior footy started training today
EB's coach was a Brothers legend up here , played for the Capras which was almost unheard of having Gladstone players playing for the Rocky based side back then
His assistant coach I've known for a long time , played against my Mrs brother and played for many years with EB's cousin
He is also a mad WT's fan , don't know if he was ever a member of the Forum but he read it quite regularly
Boys are going to know how to defend , they are getting Mark Graham (arguably New Zealand's best ever back rower ) and Gary Larsen (former Qld defending dynamo ) to help with their defence
Both still live in Gladstone and both coached Brothers senior side to premierships in the CQ Extended league
If they can't win a premiership this season ….don't know when they will

It’s on again,! sanity at last!!
Gold Coast kids kicked off again yesterday and thank God for that after one of the worst off seasons that I can remember
An invitational u/13 team from Gold Coast dawn to Grafton played a team from Brisbane toToowoomba, Ipswichetc and while it started out pretty tight, the Titans squad ran out winners 40-12.
The young bloke had a good half at five eitht then went well at fullback in the second half.
There was some good young kids involved, and the football was good,despite the heat.
High School trials are this week so a busy week for some of the kids.
The way things look like with the NRL,il be watching more kids games tha NRL games this year.

Had our last trial today for theDiv1 u/13s Today at Helensvale today in stinking heat , and did pretty well with a 42/10 result,over Coomera.
Over the last Three weeks the boys have been busy with School selections as well as 7 of the Helensvale 13s making the Titans 13s development squad , and playing in two games against a Nsw Northern rivers and a southern Qld team,
The Northern game was the preliminary game to lasts weeks Titans game at Robina.and was played in Torrential rain, and the kids loved to be playing in the wet for a change.
The game was actually better to watch than the First grade
My sons young bloke managed ( yeah, I’m biased)a really good game particularly with goal kicking getting 7 out of8 attempts with Three from about a metre from the side line,in the rain.
It’s really a big year for that age this year,but they are stoked that so many of them are in the squad together,
They’re a good bunch of kids, and we should get to see some good football From them.

We kicked off Saturday morning with an u11s trial vs helensvale. Our fellas came out on top in the end but it was a great tussle. So hot for the kids - even at 9am. Very proud dad on the sideline watching the young bloke run straight and hard and tackling his heart out. So its goodbye summer nippers and hello winter footy. Game on.

Yeah and strange for you guys having the sun facing toward the beach since your move east. Nippers awards last week, with my young bloke surprisingly coming second and a point off winning the point score. He was age champion last year, but that was the 8's, so with no board or surf swim events, that suits a kid that like him that can run like the wind, but is scared of the surf. We are lucky to have really committed instructors that continue their board and swim training right up until winter, even if my son has to be pushed a little to go. For me it is a must for any child that lives near the ocean and whose parents can afford to take them.
His footy club is struggling for numbers in the age below again this year, so will have to take them up and have two teams in his age group again, the 9's this season. Whilst my fella has now played a year and is of the proper age, so is not one to concern with, at a post training parents meeting, I let them know that last year was not fair and not to put all the underage kids and newbies together again.
Only got one trial game tomorrow, so to give the new players a bit more field time and help out another short team, will be taking my boy to the 10's gala day, which has weird pre-season scheduling. He filled in for them last year as well, when they lost on the bell in the 9's, so hopefully he has another enjoyable day tomorrow.

My boys (U7 & U9) have their first trial for the year at Greta this sunday, I will have to go straight there after night shift and try not to kill anybody so that will be fun, and of course the older boy doesn't play until 12.30 so it'll be a looong day but i'm really looking forward to it. I had a couple of my U6 boys from last year stay back and play U6 again and I have a few new kids who are big boppas so our defence should at least exist this year, I only had two who would tackle at all last year. They were too bloody cute to get mad at though! My older boy has decided that he can run now too rather than amble so i'm expecting him to have a great year. Go Greyhounds!

Went for the safe option hey.
I'm down at Budgewoi and plenty of rain overnight, so my young bloke's 9's team trial is off, but at this stage the 10's Gala day he was backing up for is still on, so fingers crossed.
