    QLD GPS Rugby 2019

    Well in terms of the same names being thrown around it's an individual opinion / perception thing I suppose. But in terms of the 15 x names that were originally put forward as eligible 18 year olds who have left school - I reckon many would agree that : - Hudson Mulcahy was a stand out smash...

    QLD GPS Rugby 2019

    Perhaps But you have 11 x U18 year olds in the above lists still at school , many of whom , have already played QLD or Aus Schools in that list , or U16 Rep in the year prior and who figure to have positional advantage as being amongst the best in their School First XV competition this season...

    QLD GPS Rugby 2019

    True - see above Not for the reason you state where Academy Squads are already picked -with the implication that these squads can’t or won’t change They will The Reds have been clear - the squads are fluid Having said that , for reasons already mentioned I can’t see many U17’s playing...

    QLD GPS Rugby 2019

    The explanation of the structure of the 2 x pathways is NOT the same in NSW , VIC or ACT. Their Academy players still at school will be lining up for their respective Schoolboy Teams QLD , for now , is the exception It’s a shame for the 17 year Grade 12 students ( whom will comprise approx...

    Yes Which is to say to play National Champs ( Schoolboys ) you have to to go through your region ( IE be selected for your region ) and play in the State Champs at Sunnybank and then be picked for either QLD Schoolboys 1 or Queensland Schoolboys 2 Same deal for Australian Schoolboys - got to...

    Australian Schoolboys & National Championships 2018

    What's the point of playing Jordan Petaia in an U18 comp when he is already playing for the Reds? Kibble too is beyond it and narrowly missed the Junior Wallabies tour because he hadn't even turned 18 at that point and there were others in front in pathway seniority - perhaps the fast tracking...

    Australian Schoolboys & National Championships 2018

    I agree Crab , in that , there seems to be a big level of layering that inevitably questions the merit of the NRC But back to your initial point re : GPS Firsts 17 year olds and U17 Club Guys - I was more referencing the U17 School Leaver playing Prem Colts over the next 2 years and possibly...

    Australian Schoolboys & National Championships 2018

    ^Yessir there is I guess my question for yourself and my Grandson , Garry Owen III , is how do you convene a fair trial within the dictates of School ( for 17 and 18 year olds ) and Club ( for those 17 and 18 year olds out of School and at Club playing Colts ) over the next 2 years ? ( in QLD...

    Hmmmm Possibly a couple of those boys are heavily League aligned and might never have any intention of playing Rugby

    Seems as though "Schoolboys" is being transitioned and rebranded as Australia U18 https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/ra-changes-national-talent-model-to-align-juniors-with-super-rugby-clubs-20180921-p5058b.html Still called ""Australia Schools and U18" but ultimately ( only IMO ) it...

    Thanks Front Row is Great T is Trinity I assume ? Really liked all 3 of those Trinity Boys and thought Luca Antico has a lot of promise Best ball speed with accuracy I have seen from a 9 at the age group - I like him a lot . Quick thinker / decision maker as well.

    NSW AAGPS 2019

    Link Henry ? Anyway that's good ....and trust that there is some good representation from CAS and ISA as well considering how strong Waverley, Kinross Wolaroi, and Barker have been over the last year or two Joey's looking the goods in the 16's this season and would expect them to be battling...
