Can anyone point me to where the results of the u15 QLD State Schoolboy Champs held over the last four days. Received sporadic updates directly from players and their families, but for the life of me cannot find anything published.

Correct. They had players in that team that were capable of Div 1, but also other players who were probably Div 4 or Div 3 standard. Rather than grade properly and break up the team the choice was to go to the lower division after other teams were naturally targeting the weaker players /...

This is killing me. Not smart stuff all round.

No one to support the line break again. Great starts Wallabies - keep it going. Yellow card has got to come soon

Good work by To'omua taking to line.

Flat footed too often

Sensing some déjà vu on this thread. A couple of weeks ago Churchie supporters were sensing redemption after a massive win at Ross and thought that they had one hand on the cup. Then fell over against BBC. Then the BBC supporters were talking up their first premiership since Jesus played for...

Good point. You would think the detail of the u15 state champs was known way before they published the first team announcement date. Selectors may not be happy with depth of this age group.

Thanks Sam. Something like that is very unusual and things must not have gone as planned.

My bad on this. Looks like Brothers pipped Albany Creek in this division on Sunday to nudge ahead for second place on the u13.1 table before the finals. It is a bit sad when only five teams are contesting u13 Div 1. The gap between these teams and the other clubs is only large because of a...

It was published earlier that the two u16 Qld teams were to be announced yesterday. Anyone know what is causing the delay?

Also same clubs battling it out for u13 Div 1. Great for a young junior club like Albany Creek. But I do feel some of the bigger clubs need to grade properly at this level to lift their standard of competition. Have seen too many clubs take easy option of not grading resulting in some players...

Thanks HJ. Concept looks good - but in QLD seems to be a Summer version of the State Champs. Gees, I just got to the cost per player at $660 per head. I don't think the possible surplus funds mentioned above are subsidising this. All adds up for a family when they are outlaying the club...

Jets - in the upcoming State Champs the BJRU are charging each rep player around $400 for the privilege to represent their Brisbane region. The players get a jersey, shorts, socks and maybe some other piece of uniform. Of course there are some other ancillary costs, but most of the manpower...

Just some clarifications to provide info to help get to a more complete picture (and then some opinion) It is the u15 State Schools Championships being held from Thurs to Sunday this week. The Nudgee boys and I believe one or two Terrace boys have been selected to represent their regional...

Good question. The majority of this thread is about the First XV as it is the only premiership awarded for QLD GPS Rugby. From time to time the results and goings on of the age group A teams have been published. For me this is a pointer towards which schools are developing the rugby...

Well there are going to be some sensational matchups of the round in the Nudgee v Terrace games this weekend over at Boondall. Out of the 10 Firsts / A's teams competing this weekend, all but three teams are undefeated or lost only one match to date. Of the only four teams undefeated at this...

Today marked the final round for many BJRU teams. Those 13 and over now to go into finals over the next three weeks. But I have heard no news where the finals venues will be and wonder if they will be neutral.

Went out to Tennyson to have a look at the younger grades and then caught the Firsts. Spikhaza - that was terrific refereeing in the 14C match. I saw you make a couple of v. good calls and the penalty try was almost in front of me and I thought you were spot on. Wish I knew it was you at the...

Over the years Aloua's schoolboy rugby contributions have come up a few times in conversations I have been a part of. Does anyone know where his rugby career took him after school?
