There is enough information around to have a reasonably (without seeing with your own eyes) fair understanding of the QLD cup and it's talents... which cover's 3 of those 4 you mentioned. :)

Well there is also plenty of information round on Raiders juniors......

Indeed, so by reading, you can form a vague opinion on the talents of these players, similar to how i can form a vague opinion on the talents of the QLD cup and Bartercard (or what ever they call it these days) comp, but my vague opinion will not hold up in a debate against someone who has seen these juniors with their own eyes.

I think you two should just admit that you're desparately in love with each other. You fair dinkum quarrel as often as a married couple.

So youll rate a competiton or team based on what other people have said, but you wont do the same for movies, believe word of mouth?

Dang kid, I bet somewhere from space another lifeform is watching your posting opinions/theories, and I dare say that inspires their crop circles they do.

Even that spastic from a beautiful mind couldnt crack whatever sh*t you talk.

I watch all the PL and JF played in Canberra and Queensland Cup games on Fox. I have a fair idea of all the talent, perhaps with the exception of NZ, but even then, most of the talented NZ players come to Australia. I would back R69 and say that our depth is at least in the top handful of clubs. It is backed by results... the Raiders were one of only a few clubs to make the top eight in all top three grades. So why complain with the judgement? It is borne out in the results!

Yea but they weren't anywhere near the top 4 in any of the grades..... Reggies was our best side and they got pumped by 40odd in their quarterfinal.

Sounds like you guys are happy with mediocrity ;-):lol:

As you wouldnt know MArc and Quinny because i doubt you see the teams much if at all there is a lot of indivdual talent in all the teams. The problem is there isnt a great deal of talent across the whole board which brings the team down. But the individual talent is deffinatly equal and usually better then all the other clubs.

I've been hearing about gun juniors since like 2002 on these forums. I'm still waiting for us to look like a half decent chance at winning the comp.....

Thats true, individuals win comps imo, nothing to do with teamwork.

They are quality overall in the lower grades IMO... actually, the backs are stronger than our forwards in lower grades which is the thing that held them back this year in the lower grades...

Strong forwards in first grade and strong backs in lower grades... will have to line up eventually!

dont you boys find it odd, that "poso" or "nego" everyone who watches our juniors is of the same opinion on their talent's, whilst those who dont know sh*te from clay, are the one's disagreeing...

co-incidence?
