Well it’s already happening isn’t it Torp ? With AFL and I think League providing officials and other support systems around their sports offering in AIC Schools . I’m sure other and more meaningful financial inducements will follow in time In the meantime Rugby people and Educators that are...

You are missing the point and are looking at it through a singular lens . AIC Schools didn’t really engage until very late in the piece and then chose to adapt - except for MCA. . GPS Schools pretty much clearly cut bait over the Summer and then with the exception of Terrace told their Rugby...

I don’t believe QSS has gone rogue at all . I reckon they have done the absolute best they can with the hand they have been dealt. All they have done from October last year is expand their State Championship model in Opens to align it to U12 and U15 programs. The reality was that all schools...

D’lite If it makes you feel any better GPS schools told their students the Schoolboys pathway was not something they were supporting and that Reds U18 was the preferred pathway. They actively went out of their way to turn their back on the tradition and the benefits that extend way beyond...

Rugby First , Congratulations on your post that raises many valid points. I wonder what has changed between seasons past and this season where Opens Squads from both AIC and GPS Schools would accommodate their players participation in trials , training sessions and tours of Queensland and...

Don’t know why you’d move the best player in the competition from the spot where he has his biggest impact opportunity. I’m hearing Izia Uluia at 12 anyway with JG in the mix in the back 3

No exclusion at all for The Pipers and of course they will be amongst it with the other schools mentioned. Was just pointing out the challenges of the draw and that some schools probably have a slight advantage over others with some of the marquee match ups happening early in the season . If...

Don't know whether it will pan out this way but the ASRU had intended to hold the 16 - 18 National Championships in Riverview from 8th June , and from there , an ASRU "Test" v Samoan Schools in the September School Holidays Meanwhile there is supposed to be a Reds U18 Camp that commences on...

No one should be counting State High out. They will contend. Maybe not as favourites but they are there with Ipswich Grammar who they play in Round 1 at Home. They then host Nudgee at Home in Round 2 . These three match ups in the first two rounds of the season ; TSS v Nudgee ( Round 1 )...

As to your question about anyone being capable of stopping Nudgee , TSS square off against them in Round 1 at TSS. It looks like the biggest test of both Team’s seasons right out of the gate

Don’t know about coaching. QSRFU State Championships going ahead on May 2nd at Sunnybank but don’t believe it has the support of GPS or AIC Schools. Would seem main intent and preference is to provide viewing access for non GPS and AIC players . There is still intended to be a National Schools...

Harley Fox. St Edmunds to Churchie. Nothing much since leaving School but he had a pretty decent Schoolboy career that saw him Captaining the Churchie 2014 Premiership Team and Australian Schoolboys.

There is hype ? Where is this hype you speak of ?

No disrespect intended at all Ginger . I did acknowledge their status as perennial premiership favourites. However I do believe that TSS have more depth coming back and there is probably more to crow about. I also reckon TSS will get more from their incoming 16 year old class of 2019. Nudgee...

I only hear their Captain , also their Prop , and their #10 from Opens Firsts Players and 3 guys from their 2nd XV that are repeating . A back 3 player , a Centre and a Flanker Then there is their star U16 winger and an U16 forward who is good that are returnees Nudgee are always strong and...
