QLD U16s 2013

[AICgossip2014]

Technically sua is still 15 rugbyfan turning 16 end of year. Fine young man and sportsman to match. Also with Broncs. Well down Churchie as a good source tells me he has knocked back interest from schools in the past.

i believe su'a, ponga, lanskey, perese and glynn all league players are very very good players going around at the moment. i believe lots of people are underestimating the talent that these rugby league players have

This is Technical?
Where does tying shoelaces fit on the Technical spectrum

Totally agree with this statement. Churchie have Mack Mason and Harley Fox who have been questioned by many before the season on GPS 2013 thread if they would be able to step up being league players. These two players along with Izaia Perese would have to be up there with the best in their positions. League players throughout the GPS have stepped up from all teams as they have solid skills

very true, along with pritchard from NC and agassi stowers also prominent league players

IMO should not have made the team in the first place, but unlucky to him and wish him a good recovery

Tyrone Southern dropped out with family commitments replaced with Edwards now starting and Leofa out with Agassi Stowers replacing him on the bench.

Inside center Lachlan Folds has been called up to Queensland White in his first year of rugby union after an exceptional performance with the QJRU State Championship winners, Brisbane Green. Folds is already contracted with the Melbourne Storm and had a chat with a Queensland Reds rep shortly after he was named in the Brisbane City side to play the Country team this Friday.

He also picked up a handy scholarship to BBC but it is undecided if he will accept it since he lives at Redcliffe and it means he will have to repeat Grade 11 next year.

It looks like this young man will have to make some code choices in the future. Let's hope he makes the right one.

Most definitely one of the most natural gifted talents I've coached in a long time. He was very good centre pairing with Aaron Potini in the Un 16 Green squad that tore the carnival apart. Totally agree has the world at his feet and is very well grounded for his age. Whatever he decides he'll be name we will hear in the future hopefully in the 15 man game.

I've only just started following schoolboy rep rugby, so can some one who has been around for a while explain something ?

The QLD Red and White teams have already been picked for the national championships in starting late September.
But the QLD state championships (incl U16) are not being held until about the same time (not sure of date?)

The QLD Red and White teams seem to be exclusively GPS and AIC players. Surely there will be some worthy players on display at the State championships.
Seems to be unfair on the regional players to pick the QLD rep teams before the state champs.

NSW seems to have 3 teams NSW Country, NSW Schools & Sydney Juniors

Is this the way it has always been ?

Food for thought maybe a Qjru side picked from carnival depth is immense and promotes keeping a lot of these kids.
