Come on fellas, you just brought down the standard of the forum. If you want to talk about importing, I suggest you go to the scholarships thread. Many schools in queensland have indigenous kids. Marist, Nudgee, BBC are some of many. The government are giving scholarships out for the lads, it's not like peters send an expert to run up north to scout players. It sounds like xxxx is denying a chance for kids to have a good education.

You know a team is importing when their Open swimming team win by a land slide and their lower age groups come below the top.
You know a team imports when their firsts go undefeated and they come last in the aggregate.
why the change of tune bsparx????
Congrats to St Peters fingers crossed for next week against SLC, nothing taste better than an undefeated premiership.
Sounds like a great game yesterday.
As for buying premierships regardless of who's money it is, parents, government, industry some schools decide that's the way they wish to increase demands for enrollments.
However there are also many schools out there which focus on other ways of increasing demand on enrollments, in the long run parents will choose which schools they feel are happy with.
As for me, I'm glad these programs don't run at my school, gives the local boys a fighting chance to rep their school at the highest level.
I'm also glad that there are schools who run these programs, it does lift the standard of the comp, most of these boys who are in these programs are very talented and I also think the local boys can be proud in the way they completed against these boys, some very close games which could have gone either way.
For the local lads who may feel that they have been rob of a premiership don't dismay, you will be a better player for the experience of play against the talent, so dust yourself off, put school footy behind you and get stuck into some club footy where it's an even playing field.
