Brief Overview of State Champs - u14
The results from last year's u13 comp is as follows:-
The composition of the Green team changes this year, with the Redlands team moving from this catchment into the Yellow team catchment. So the Green team actually lose a couple of their best players from the comp. However, they have picked up Lucas who I believe did not play u13 last year as he was running around in the u14 comp and was not eligible. So the Green team mainly consist of the BJRU Div 1 Premiers, Sunnybank and Souths. They should be considered the front runners.
The BJRU Red team have kept a great deal of their successful team from last year together. This team consists of the BJRU Div 1 Grand Finalists, Albany Creek and the BJRU Div 2 Premiers, Norths. They have guys who have been there and done that and will be equal to the occassion, although they have lost their 10 & 12 to injury and it also appears an effective front rower from last year has not been selected or injured, so it will be tough.
Once again, the Gold Coast's investment in their team and length of time the squad is together will provide them with a chance. The Darling Downs team I thought under performed last year and if it contains a few of the Downlands players from their 14A team, may also surprise.
The BJRU Blue team may be the smokeys in this comp. Built around a good Wests side and Ashgrove Div 1, this is probably one of the more diverse teams. The guys in the Wests team have played a lot of footy together at club and school this year and have caused some upsets along the way. This may continue.
