Speaking of cricket scores . I don't think anyone will get within 30 points of nudgee 14a . Undefeated last year and then they bring in 2 of the best under 14 league players in the state who are both champion athletes ax well .one of the boys already signed by the cowboys
You can't sign with any NRL team till your 15... But I agree with all the other comments. ...
Is this the same team that got touched up by the BSHS u/14 A's in the last trial game?? I hope they have improved since that game.

You must be talking about the U13 team, the U14 Nudgee boys demolished BSHS by a cricket score.

And they didn't take a kick at goal

The Nudgee 15a seemed to have a few boys I haven't seen before. Is there a few injuries or boys away?
Not from what I saw nor the rest of the crowd, #10 likes to try and strip the ball rather than put the shoulder into the tackle, not a great game from him, did like GT counter attack, impressive. GT #7 got smacked all over the paddock, #7 & #6 from tss dominated break down. #15 tss, very tidy, solid player. Don't know what happened to GT scrum they got eaten for breakfast. Best on field, 3 pts tss back row, 2 pts #15, 1 pt #13.

They might have agreements in place but they can't have a contract

Even the contracts mean little, they don't amount to much money either.
If you ask me, being on one of those "contracts" isn't worth much.
Needless to say however the NC u14 A side are good. It's a shame all that talent goes to one school rather than spread around. These boys won't learn much winning by cricket scores.

Yeah I think it's a scholarship rather than contract. Pong a at Churchie had a broncos scholarship at 14 but now a contract with Cowboys at 15
Yep. My mistake. Sorry. I was thinking u/13 A's.

Joel Hagan from Nudgee (Class of '13) signed a league contract at 13 according to the above.
Funnily enough he didn't end up playing any games for the First XV over his school career to the best of my knowledge, @Taipan may be able to correct me.

I'm not picking on you specifically Ear but you guys throw around words like contract, scholarship, or agreement etc when in truth they aren't anything like what's being implied.
Most kids that people claim are on contract were simply given some kit from a club as a promotion or encouragement.
In a lot of cases the kids parents paid for he kids to go on a camp or something similar and the gear was a perk.
Some clubs offer help with school, but the most I've heard about is around $1000. These "scholarships" are nothing of the sort.
It's very rare a kid in year 10 is ever signed to a proper contract, and just about as rare in 11 & 12. There's the odd talk of a super star receiving 100k as a development player but I guarantee that 100k is not cash in hand at all. In truth most genuine contracts with league clubs are not all that, they're usually not worth much money, well cash in the bank so to speak money.
I'd love to see conversion numbers too of the genuine contracts into A grade league players. I'm not sure it's all that great.

That was back in 2009, I think the rules have changed since then.
I doubt in reality the contract was worth much at all.
