Farmduck Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 I think Country will win. Just seem to have more in form players. I'm in the "scrap City/Country" camp. When a tradition serves no purpose beyond the preservation of said tradition, it should be taken out behind the shed and shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmduck Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Watching the QRL stream of the Q Residents v NSW Residents. These teams are selected from Q Cup and NSW Cup. I'm not sure why this game exists but this year it coincides with the Qld State 16s and 18s GFs so I guess it pads out a full day schedule for Brisvegans. I don't know the precise selection criteria but they produce some odd results. I think it's just if you've played more State Cup than NRL this year, you are eligible. None of the PNG Hunters are playing for Qld but NZ Warriors NSW Cup players are playing for NSW. Elijah Taylor is playing for NSW even though he has played 10 Tests for the Kiwis. Since this is purely a domestic comp the eligility has no effect on any other eligibility but I'm still not clear why this game is even on.

Graham Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 It was a very early morning start here for this game so I've recorded it. I'll be giving it a go after breakfast. We all tipped Country but previous games seem to have been close calls from memory.I'm surprised none of us tipped City.

Graham Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 If this was here and played nearby I'd certainly go. I realise there are plenty of people who see it as a both of an irrelevance with injury risk attached. The whole weekend, of which this is a part, is a nice breath of fresh air in the pressurised NRL League rounds. As a by product some bruised and battered players not playing get a chance for some r&r The Australian Rugby League Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I see the ground is bursting full. 5 blokes are watching sat on the ridge tiles of the roof of the nearby house. The Australian Rugby League Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Aaron Gray looks like he's on a good performance here. He's just got his own and City's secong try. Looked good with some good moves earlier too. The Australian Rugby League Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 City look the more effective with what seems like slightly less possession. Open game. Handy lead at half time for City. The Australian Rugby League Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
