QLD Schools - Trial Games and Selections 2015

[Mitch]

BGS 3,5,9 and 13 would also have chances of earning a GPS spot. BGS beat TGS 24 to 7, a very convincing display from the Brisbane boys.

Didn't mind the look of the BGS 1, Don't know about his replacement though, that scrum went downhill fast.

HJN - may I say, that's a cracking portfolio of sports photos. Really well shot in all cases, and just as well compiled and presented.

You've done us all a great service, thanks very much for your efforts.

Queensland Schools Tri Series 2015
Combined Catholic Colleges extended their winning run to four years in the Queensland Schools Tri Series competition with a narrow 34-29 victory over Combined Independent Colleges recently. The game featuring 9 players who will don the Combined Secondary Schools jersey in the upcoming Queensland School trials was played as a curtain raiser at SUNCORP Stadium to the Super XV Reds Sharks clash.

Despite holding a 22-12 half time CCC appeared to have let the game slip from their grasp after a strong second half resurgence from CIC. A try to St Peter Claver centre Liam Pakau after an initial break from fellow Claver student Daniel Ioane saw the CCC side regain the lead in the second last minute of play.

The Tri Series competition is played between three school associations in South East Queensland, providing opportunity for players outside of the traditional nurseries of GPS and AIC to play rugby at a higher level. Additionally it forms a good preparation for aspiring state players as they bridge the gap in intensity between school fixtures and the Queensland State Trials.

The 2015 competition was tightly contested with the third competing side Combined High Schools missing out on the final on points difference in the preceding round robin competition.

GPS Round 2 selections for the trial games this weekend at Tennyson.

From the 3 x pool games, 4 teams have been chosen.

Generally it appears that the top 23 of each of the pools have been put through in a team together i.e. BBC, ACGS and BSHS one team, GT, NC and IGS another and TGS, BGS and TSS the other.

Then there is a 4th team made up of all schools.

8 x ACGS
11 x BSHS
6 x GT
10 x IGS
11 x TGS
16 x BBC
12 x NC
11 x TSS
7 x BGS

High representation from IGS,TGS and BSHS that I didn't expect. Good on those boys.

Would anyone have any idea who made it from each school? Anyone know who the 16 were from BBC?

Are we so naive to think that the trial made a difference. Player lists sent from the schools automatic selections with last years form a contributing factor!

correct
quite a few Qld 1 & 2 did not trial 2 weeks ago."told to rest niggling injuries"

 

[Happy to Chat]

To suggest that players who did QLD proud last year should be first up picks for this year is some what presumptuous and short sighted, Australian School boy reps, yes I can live with that call. This age group allows for big improvement from other contenders and the previous rep players, but also levelling in ability. I was able to watch a fair amount of the rugby at TSS yesterday and I suspect only several of the player listed as up front starts will be called up again in the first GPS squad. It must be said that to select from those trials is no small feat so going with a tried and proven player may not be a bad call.
From the talent on show I am very excited to follow the boys through to the Nationals and watch some out standing class on the paddock for the GPS comp.

There is a lot of talent on display and as you say it is presumptuous to think that playing for QLD I/II last year would be automatic inclusion this year. There are a lot of players putting their hand up for 6,7,8, 9 & 10 position this year. Difficult decision for selectors.

 

[Sage]

so true .. especially in the case of Combined States which is a distinct selection process from the Queensland state selection

Looking at the lists, there will also be some strength, talent and technique on display accross the 1, 2 & 3 positions. Big boys with heaps of experience (some with state/national rep experince and 2-3 yrs in school first 15). Should be great to watch

Yeah, really excited about who will be in the Qld sides, they should be in with a chance of lifting the cup this year.

 

[Blue & white]

imo the 2 outstanding players today were Ngamanu 15 for BBC and Luka 3 for NC

[Rugby Spirit]

I predict at least 3 players from outside GPS 1 (the benches and GPS 2-3) make the Qld Schoolboys A team.

will any boys in AIC should get a look in?
O'Toole and Woods from Padua maybe?

 

[BraveandGame]

will any boys in AIC should get a look in?
O'Toole and Woods from Padua maybe?

I hear (I have not seen him play) O'Toole while a fantastic player is not the strongest scrummager, that probably means bench/impact player is his best hope for Qld 1 - you cant take on NSW 1 or 2 without your strongest scrum.

Luka is a certainty and I'll bet they take the best technician as his partner.

 

[Derick Slater]

I can see Justin Sikimeti and Tom McDonald in the mix at 6 and 9 from st pats and st Edmonds.
