I believe UQ have also picked up Moses Sorevi from St Peters who has been offered a place.
Doesn't leave many places left. Sunnybank & GPS anyone?

I guess that's what happens when you have a poor year. Any you would've picked or thought were unlucky? Same wih sunny coast?

I just hope Wests go & find some props. Uncontested scrums in Premier Colts is pretty embarrassing. I won't cop that they have no depth, recruitment takes time & effort, I don't believe there aren't a few 2nd/ 3rd XV props who wouldn't jump at the chance to play Premier Colts. To roll out a pack full of backrowers with no notice in advance to the opposition week after week shows poor sportsmanship.
Enough whinging about Uni & GPS, time for action as everyone wants to see Wests compete!

Well another of the problems was that half the backrowers they had playing were actually centers and wingers whom they had to convert to forwards at the start of the year!

I can't see how putting second and third graders in to premier colts would be beneficial either

I think this is being a little selective for a side that couldn't pack a scrum & didn't win a game.
Uni aside, most clubs had a couple of players who played 2nds at school.
A number of boys blossom late into very good footballers. They often train harder & want it more!

But the issue of age?

Arch Winning (36)
I think he said 2nd or 3rd XV players in the original post - I'd assume those in the 2nd and 3rd XVs are the same age as those who play First XV at school?

Oh well I don't think attracting those kind of players is wests problem. They actually get a late contingent of boys rocking up just to play for fun. Getting the ones who want to take it serious is the real problem. Bit I don't think that is the case next year

Uni's Prop all year in prem colts played mainly 3rds at nudgee.
The year before the 5/8 was from the NT and had only played 3 or 4 games of 15's a hand full of 7's games before playing at uni. He had never even heard of a pattern.
3 of the best players that year also came from Alstonville, mountain creek and Narrabri state high's.
Probably sounds strange coming from a uni bloke but far too much emphasis at colts level is placed on what kids did at which school and for what team. A lot of growing up happens from 17 to 19. Especially for those who haven't been blessed with good coaching/facilities/competition in the past.
