Petaia plays wing at school and outside centre in Rep footy. He's going to be very, very good next year. Australian Schoolboys for sure.

Definitely not Nudgee. They have one pitch that is superb, and a dozen others that are simply awful. Southport is a great place to host Tournaments with a large boarding school. Brisbane Grammar School has similarly excellent fields and a boarding house. But really, Ballymore should be the...

Cam McIntosh takes over the Colts coaching at UQ. Story on Reds website: http://redsrugby.com.au/News/NewsArticles/tabid/581/ArticleID/17578/McIntosh-takes-the-helm-of-University-Premier-Colts.aspx

On the note of scholarships, I was throwing out some old files and found a TSS program from 2013. 11 players from their First XV last year were at the school in 2013: one in the 15As, eight in the 14As, one in the 14Bs, and one in the 13As I think 11 home grown players in the squad is...

Shane Arnold to Reds was confirmed when Reds finalised coaching staff for 2017 this morning. Will Jeeps look internally to replace him?

In terms of 2016 graduates who could make the cut, I can only really guess the guys who are bound for St Lucia. Terrace winger Will Eadie would surely get time off the bench for UQ, and Willie Malala is now too old to return for Nudgee's First XV, so he'd be a shot too. Sean Farrell also...

None of the 2015 First XV class could be considered regular Premier Grade starters, largely thanks to the Super U20s vacuuming up all the young guys who could have made the cut. 21 kids from 2015 are currently on pro contracts that kept them out of Premier Grade. - I'm aware Jack Farrell...

UQ had 17 current players selected in NRC sides. It doesn't leave us with much of a squad to compete in this "mutiny" competition. A team like Bond, who missed out on the Top Four and had precious few selected in the NRC would more than likely beat the UQ Reserve Grade side we'd roll out...

I wonder if we're going to see Jake Schatz and Junior Laloifi line up for Sunnybank this year? I haven't heard any news of them picking up alternative pro contracts after being cut from the Reds Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And Tonga Ma'afu returns to Norths as well. If the Reds decide that they'd prefer a Kerevi + Perese/Magnay midfield Norths could be very interesting in 2017. There are worse backlines than DPA and Tyrone Lefau in the centres, supported by Alex Gibbon and Veresa Mataitini on the wings. Sent...

Gregory Terrace hooker Harry Birgan is headed to the Heavies. Surely the deepest hooking stocks in the competition with Australian Schoolboys hooker Sean Farrell joining the club too. Churchie Premiership winning hooker Jacob Williams (2015) might be stuck playing tighthead for a very long...

Hearing that Australian Schoolboys lock Matt Wilshire is heading to UQ in 2016 is being chased by the Chiefs in Super Rugby. Kiwi heritage. Tate McDermott (Aus Barbarians halfback) is firming as well - pictured here playing for King's College at the Noosa Sevens. Sent from my iPhone...

McReight... five tackles in as many minutes, pressure in every breakdown and already a pilfer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was stunned to see McReight wasn't starting. The guy pinched 25 pilfers at a rate of 3.25 per game, carrying 12 times per game and making 11 tackles per game at 90% accuracy in the GPS season. What more could you want in an open side flanker? This Gersekowski must be a monster. Sent from...

I really rate Sione Fukofuka. Seems a bit of a legend and is dead set committed to playing rugby the right way. He's got to one-man-army the rugby program at State High with precious little support from the headmaster, so no complaints at all with him staying on for as long as he's happy to...

Had forgotten Davies - I'll add him to the list. Sham Vui played First XV in 2013 and 2014, not 2012, as well.
