Broncos have 3...
Melbourne have one.

East's Tigers alliance makes sense hey?

It's a no brainer, the quality of QLD cup IMO is a distant better than NSW Cup

Taafe is a half so is Hawkins both are better half's than Illias.
Penrith second rowers will run through Illias next week and expose that poor defence

What I’m saying is, Taafe thinks he’s an NRL quality half. I like the guy as a footballer and have marvelled at his high energy performances since he was about 14. But IMHO he’s not a first grade number 7.

I totally disagree with your assessment of Ilias. While I think Penrith will win, it won’t be down to the Souths half getting trampled.

Yes, Hawkins does look a good player. Surely he’ll soon be snapped up by a rival club.

 

[thegbone]

Illias is horrible, put him in our side and he’d be shown up as the worst half in the game by a mile.

 

[Bus 2 Terrigal]

Do you realise that his family and friends are all dirtbag criminals? The only way he makes it is if he ditches everyone he knows and starts fresh

Did he also come through the Cronulla juniors with the “weak gutted dog” ?

(sorry, just an excuse to revisit Ricky’s - weak gutted dog) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Roosters have also aligned with Q Cup team, not sure which.

Ipswich Jets

Hunters would be a no brainer to allign with in QCup

Why's that?

 

[Don Kershane]

So no word on any pommy players comming to us it must have just been media nonsense

They were coming but are stuck at the back of the line at Westminster.

I find it funny that we can be critical of other teams halfbacks when our number one halfback is Luke brooks…

I think if we lose Brooksy we need to chase Jake Arthur.
Both lads seem very popular within their own club’s fan bases

I reckon so. Melbourne at the moment have easts tigers and the Sunshine Coast falcons.

Easts are a big club here in brissy.

It just keeps all your good fringe players playing a high level of comp, and your better juniors really exposed to playing men, in a strong competition.

I believe it’s the Ipswich jets

 

[bathursttiger1]

Actually it is good policy to support and develop ties with junior clubs in Qld,then of course you have our group of mental midgets running the club.We can't evem hang on to some of our better juniors

Panthers have partnered with Group 10 & 11, which has been really successful.
Yeo, Burton, Stains and Egan that I can think of.

Tyrell Sloan rumoured to be requesting an immediate release as he’s wanting to be a starting NRL fullback.
Heavily linked to the Dolphins, but surely we try and get him. He’s bigger, stronger and faster than Laurie and at 20 years of age, has potential to be an elite NRL fullback.
Laurie could be ok in the halves, but not enough X-Factor to be a top 8 NRL fullback.
If we sign Charlie Staines that would be great competition for the fullback spot, with whoever misses out to potentially be a starting winger.
Would add plenty of pace and attacking flair to our backline, that’s for sure.
Also Kayal Iro and Declan Casey look to be a quality NRL players in waiting, more upside than any of our current NRL outside backs.

Allan Fitzgibbon, kiah Cooper and Daine Laurie look to be tearing up some knock-out comp in Iluka....

former Dally m halfback of the year ??
yeah I can bring critical Illias is rubbish put him in our team he woukd be exposed for the weak defensive player he is

And it seems the coach of the team playing the preliminary final has no idea about who the best half at his club, is like some do on here. 🤔

Really?
Who pays for compo to the club if he's seriously injured?
