[Alehana]

who plays who, like whats the basic set up of the comp?

 

[albert]

The Rugby League Quad Series is an annual tournament involving the NSW Country Representative side, the Jim Beam Cup representative side, the Queensland Country representative side and one invitational side.

 

[albert]

Queensland has been confirmed as hosts for the third annual ARL Quadrangular Tournament, with matches to be shared between the Gold and Sunshine Coasts.
The Quadrangular Tournament involves representatives from the Sydney based Jim Beam Cup, the NSW Country and the Queensland Country competitions, plus one invitational side.
Scheduled June, the 2008 Quad series, will run for only 12 days to help make it easier for the best players from the respective competitions to be made available. The tournament will kick off in the Gold Coast before heading north to QuadPark on the Sunshine coast for the final group matches and tournament final.
The fourth invitational side has not yet been confirmed for the 2008 tournament; however it is likely that the Affiliated States side will be included again.
Past Quad Series Results:
2006 – New Zealand Residents 32 defeated NSW Country 18
2007 – NSW Country 26 defeated Jim Beam Cup (Sydney) 16

good 2 see 2 reds players in the side!

especially since one is a WA junior
go jase!
and, correct me if im wrong, WAs Jon Green!

 

[Nuke]

That's what I noticed too.

So that's why there's a 2 week break for the Jim Beam Cup competition mid-season ... makes sense now!

 

[Perth Red]

Well done to the two Reds players and to Jon. Good to see our players being recognised, even after such a short time in the comp.

 

[Nuke]

Just think how many players could've been in had the Reds won a few more matches ...!

 

[Perth Red]

I think our Tyrone is unlucky to miss out given his form over the last 5 or 6 games.

 

[Roland]

The 4th team this year is BARLA the British Amateur rep side. Mounties and the Bulls have won 11 and 10 games but got only one each!

 

[b0rt]

guess they must have a champion team then

 

[cumberlandsashes81]

The 4th team this year is BARLA the British Amateur rep side.

It's the GB Community Lions - basically the best of the amateur rep sides (GB Students, RL Confernce, etc.)

Here's a link to their tour blog:

www.totallycommitted.co.uk/blog

I'd be tipping them to struggle against the Queensland Rangers and the Jim Beam Cup sides which both contain their share of 2nd tier (NSW Cup, Queensland Cup) quality players.

 

[Roland]

Your right. I thought the British Lions was a new name for Barla but it is actually a combination of BARLA, Combined services and Students comps so it will be stronger than BARLA.

I saw some references to the Quad series on british sites as an amateur competition in Australia. I think they might be in for a bit of a shock.

 

[b0rt]

well at least the JBCup is semi-pro, dunno bout others
if you call that amateur then yeh, its amateur

 

[Roland]

2 of the Shellharbour players in the team are full time professionals contracted to St George.

 

[cumberlandsashes81]

The GB Community Lions played a warm-up match yesterday against a Queensland Universities Select XIII. The Lions won 56 - 0.

The Lions won 56 - 0.

I think that will be a similiar but losing scoreline the Lions will face in the Quad series, they are nowhere near the standard of the other 3 teams.

no, jon green plays for shellharbour marlins. their club is beneath their name, not above. Jason Godecke is the reds player.
