Not sure of the difference between 'being signed' and being in a squad, but Talakai is also in Souths Harold Matts squad.

I am also pretty sure that Ruthven & Longland played Harold Matts with Manly last year.

I suspect the reality is that barring a very small minority who are either at very traditional & strong rugby school (ie. Joeys) or a tall 2nd rower (whose height makes league less interested in them, but prime AFL candidate) that pretty much all the players are playing both games these days and view the games are interchangeable.

I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure that Xuerub's only rugby union during 2025 was playing for CCC, then NSW School 1 and Waratahs.

No you are right, he played no club Rugby and didnt play @ State Champs, only the schools tournament for CCC then NSW 1and obviously Waratahs

Just saw a highlights reel of Finn Hannon. Geez he’s got some wheels for a flyhalf! Rugby aligned hopefully.

So far yes all Rugby and being a regular enrolled student at Joeys it generally stays that way. Not many there are also suiting up in Harold Matthews etc.

Two more years of School for him but he's probably the best Flyhalf prospect since Joey Walsh out of NSW. Lets hope he doesn't go the same way Walsh.

Only caught the second half. Half time score 14 - 12 to Aus U16s. Full time score 64 - 12. Some scintilating attacking play by the Aussie U16s and some impressive displays by their backs.

Sort of score that seems pretty normal in these games. Opposition hangs for a while then just drops off. As well as the the Aus side inevitably figuring things out as the game mins go by.

Trouble is that the Qld U17 team wasn’t a proper rep team. It was just put together from names on the perpetual development list that Carozza came up with a few years ago, with a few newbies that particular schools will have pushed forward, and minus those lost to league. The days of Qld having genuine rep sides with the best performing players from school and club games each year are long gone. But at least Qld can say they “developed” the players who played as some sort of false self justification loop - players are picked as they are in the development squad, and they are in the development squad because they were picked.
