I'm in Brisbane. I'm a terrible rugby player though. Haha. Just slumming around in the low grades. Still fun. But I'm 33 now, so just trying to squeeze "just one more" season out.
That season (2009) Cooper's club had a really strong club level team (fainga brothers, Cooper, some other Queensland rugby journey men like van humphries, etc), and Quade had a really good season. They probably should have won it, but my club scrapped out a win in the grand final. Still, it was probably the season that solidified Cooper's spot for the reds (and eventually wallabies) and started the real push for the reds to finally win the championship in 2011.
Other side note... After that season, Cooper didn't play much brisbane club rugby because he was in the big money games, so he never actually won a club rugby championship... then last season, he was pushing for re-selection in the wallabies and\or Olympics and his club made the finals again so he volunteered his services... and they turned him down. Savage.
