Do we need cash prizes to go along with the Silverware?

We've heart other competitions offering cash incentives, with the backing the CRU competition has had over the last 5 years, there has been very little investment into the game itself, does the competition need Cash prizes for the successful teams that Grand finals? Taking into account the operational costs and other expenses out, how much revenue has the competition generated over the years?

Who you got for this Preliminary Finals? U20 Boys, should be a belter, Valley Hunters should be favourites for this one, Kone Sharks had a tough semis but won their game, expect a fiery game. In the U20 Girls, a cliff hanger between the Pomis girls and Juggernauts, got to be in it to win it. Whilst in the U23 men, its a game of greater propositions, between the champs Harlequins against the giant slayers Wanderers, a toss of the coin in this one. In the A-Grades men, Piggies and Kone Sharks, the Sharkies are hoping to break into the Premier ranks next season, but have the men in blue as their biggest barrier, should be a belter. In the women's, expect last years Grandfinalists to have a close up smashing game against Nova, whoever wins in the backline battles, can take the flowers home, whilst in the Premier game, archival, Brothers and Harlequins will be in an explosive battle to see who has survives for the NFS final. The biggest game in some of their players lives. Whoever wins, rugby is the winner

For the first time in a long time, all the minor Premiers in their respective Divisions qualified for the Big Dance.

Maybe its time we thank our game officials, touch judges and referees for a job well done. They always face the heat with some unfortunate big mouths swearing at times.

An afternoon of pulsating and exciting Rugby. Brothers prevail against a close knit MBB Marlins 18-17. Brothers advance whilst Marlins bow out. Great season for the Boys from Gerehu Stage 3.

The Valley Hunters have showed us why they are Minor Premiers. Big brutal defense and top class vision and attack. Congrats on reaching your second straight Grandfinal with a Magethron 24-7 win over the Harlequins.

Semis Tipster: Big game galore, Harlies race Valleys, Brothers prepare to tame Marlins

The regular season is over, and the talking stops now. Welcome to the semifinals, where careers are made, legends are born, and one bad pass can send your entire season spiraling into a pit of despair! With the Premier Men's XV ladder finally settled, the stage is set for a weekend of brutal, exhilarating, and heart-stopping rugby. Grab your snacks, find your lucky jersey, and let's get into the showdowns that will decide who has a shot at glory.

The Major Semi-final: Valley Hunters (1st) vs. Harlequins (2nd)

This is the big one, the clash of titans, the rumble in the jungle! On one side, you have the SWG TSI Valley Hunters, who have been sitting on top of the ladder all season, quietly and efficiently dismantling teams on their way to a well-deserved minor premiership. They're the dominant force, a well-oiled machine that's all business. They are the "immovable object" that has been too solid for most to get around. The biggest question for them is whether they've been too dominant—have they been tested enough to handle the sheer pressure of a finals knockout game?

Then you have the Supreme Industries Harlequins, the red-hot, in-form team that just leapfrogged into second place with a massive win over the Marlins. The Harlequins are playing with a swagger that's contagious. They're like a fighter who's just landed a few clean shots and now thinks they can take on the champ. They have the momentum, the speed, and the confidence to pull off an upset.

The Showdown: This match is a fascinating clash of styles. The Hunters will try to grind it out, using their forward pack to dominate the scrum and set up their attack. Harlequins, on the other hand, will look to play fast, open, and exciting rugby, running the Hunters ragged. This isn't just a game; it's a test of wills. My money is on a bruising encounter, and while the Hunters have been the class of the competition, the Harlequins' current form is just too hard to ignore.

Prediction: Harlequins to upset the Hunters in a shocker, earning a direct ticket to the Grand Final.

The Minor Semi-final: MBB Marlins (3rd) vs. Brothers (4th)

This isn't just a game; it’s an elimination final! The loser's season is over, finished, kaput. This match is all about redemption and last-gasp glory.

First, let's talk about the Theodist MBB Marlins. They were cruising in second place, probably already planning their Grand Final uniforms, and then... a loss. They dropped to third, and now they have to fight for their lives. This game is a chance for them to prove that their loss was just a blip, not a sign of a deeper problem. They have a defense that is as tough as old leather, but their attack has been shaky. They’ll be playing with a bruised ego and a fury that makes them incredibly dangerous.

Then you have the Kramer Apec Brothers, the "chaos crew" from last year's Grand Final. They've had a wildly inconsistent season, but here they are, in the finals. They are a team that thrives on unpredictability. Just when you think you've got them figured out, they'll do something completely unexpected. As last year's runners-up, they have the big-game experience to handle the pressure, and as the underdog, they have nothing to lose, which is a very scary combination.

The Showdown: This match will be a physical, low-scoring affair. The Marlins will be all about discipline and defense, trying to shut down the Brothers at every opportunity. The Brothers will be trying to create chaos, hoping to break the Marlins' structure and score on the counter-attack. The team with the coolest head and the steadiest hands will win this one.

Prediction: Brothers big game experience, and with the return of their big guns, expect the Men in Black to bounce back in a bigger way
