Spot on re everything you said. I'm not 100% I believe the "private lessons from Ledesma" line, but I think set piece is the only thing holding him back from really making a fist of it. His running game was a lot of fun to watch.
A complete package Nasser would have to be a fair shout for the Schoolboys.

He's JJ Taulagi's little brother. He's entering his second year of First XV at BSHS. I can assure you he's played Premier Colts this season instead of the State High preseason.
He'll be one to watch *IN MY OPINION*
(That last bit feels necessary right now)

Well according to the Qld Rugby Link the guy has never played a game in Premier Colts. I think their source would be more reliable than yours.

Evidently not. Here is a photo of him playing fullback in Premier Colts v GPS.
He is pictured on the right, next to Alex Horan.
Here is the Rugbylink spreadsheet listing him as fullback: http://www.rugbylink.com.au/common/pages/public/rv/match.aspx?matchID=2734251&entityID=53087

So he has played one game against a team that has not won a game and he is.....how did he put it...."shredding them in Premier Colts"
Of course he is......think integrity King, think integrity.

May have been referring to performances at training etc.? Not necessarily from a match play perspective.

BSHS and NC face off again this weekend less their players who are trying out in the GPS trials, should be an interesting gauge of the respective depths. Also the A & B teams through the age groups, could be one way traffic for the 13-15s unless NC have done some recruiting over summer.
Anyone know where it is being played as I'm pretty sure it's soccer at BSHS this weekend.

Melbourne Rebels website announces today that 202cm and 110kg BBC student Trevor Hosia has signed a senior contract with them and will return to Melbourne in 2 years time after his schooling. So that explains his absence from GPS trials

This match should be very interesting. Apparently NC have a lot of injuries and this may be a problem, with a lack of depth. BSHS on the other hand, have great depth. So I know its only a trial, but I expect to see BSHS give it to NC.

Is there some connection between Riverside and State High? Seems a few under age players play out of there too - not a usual catchment for State High I wouldn't have thought

I think I'd take Churchie by four points. It would be a fantastic game.
Always tough to compare teams like this. You did it well though King. I think the ultimate difference is the opportunity offered to the players post school. I could be wrong but not sure that NRL U20 was a thing in 2009. It was only recently NRC became a pathway and now Super U20s. Would have been interesting if all these opportunities were available for that State High side.
Add to that opportunity is the coaches and who they take with them. Coaches like to pick players they have coached previously. It's no fluke so many players Gilmore coached at Churchie played in Qld U20 recently with him as head coach. Thompson helped out IGS in recent years and no surprise Rodda and co are getting a go now too. After all that, it is a coincidence that Thompson and Gilmore coach Aust 20s and those players get a gig again. Gilmore is so keen on Harley Fox he was played recently and given every chance when he wasn't anywhere near the top of his game. The ability of most of these players can't be faulted but that extra little boost always helps.
Bringing it back to 2015 and Philpotts is the Aust schools coach as well as BBC and no surprise a heap of BBC players make the cut. Wallace at TSS is part of the set up too and there's always a TSS boy or three in the picture too.
In the end, let's hope the collapse of NRL U20 keeps more of our players in rugby.
