Great to see in the backs they are picking the players they believe have the talent. You would hope at 15 or 14years old an outside back is not pigeon holed at only a fullback or a certain side winger. Speed, offloads at pace and one on one defence can see any 15 cover 11/13/14.

How many were from GPS origins - Kellaway Bell as well ? 8+ ? Not a bad reflection on the development offered at school boy and the love for the game

Any thoughts on Riverview and Scot’s likely team? 2025 year 12 group for View were the top team in 16’s (yes some played up but they were solid). Some new faces and injuries will always impact but have to think View with their 9 leading have a good squad.

Maybe picked on last years form and guess what injuries happen and others develop. Plenty of solid names in the squad.

The U18 squad to cut from 40 to 26 will be tough some great form in there and some recent names have really shone as the season closed out. Here’s hoping they deliver some W’s against NZ!

Plenty of depth with 3s - Hockey, Mott, Shadforth U16a - Wendt and Powell all looking at 11/14. In the forwards Fraape will be there in the mix.

Coaches or selectors….. did the schools with the best talent win or the schools who coached the talent present. To see some schools 1st struggle yet 2nd dominate or the 1st win 2s lose and 3a are strong - what does it say about selections vs coaching. Thank you to them all for an amazing...

Long time before Term 2 let them have a summer of growth - the U16s and have schools pick on trials and pre season. Some are 15 and will change dramatically.

They can improve and build a program from 13/14 up. The push to add New is honourable but they have struggled to field a solid 3’s so let’s not make quick decision. A few years back folks wanted to drop Shore from 1s….. looks kinda silly last year and this year that suggestion

No just add the New 3rds we need GPS to include SBH -

Exciting times in both 1s and 3s that have many schools still in the hunt. Great to see some sun out this week for some dry weather rugby.

Any holiday games planned for the schools to get back on track pre the last rounds? Any GPS/CAS cross over?

Would be great to know what schools all from??

Too often the glory solo play or magical kick. - many could just let the ball do the work and simple draw and pass…….. so often the extra man is lost by a cut out or jink inside. Let’s use the amazing speed we have in the teams !

Many years ago touring squads for the wallabies were picked that way with each state able to nominate player hence some random tourists from Victoria and other states and also country representatives and many NSW v QLd quotas - none official but very much adhered too. (Much like the governance...

Where as players who play for enjoyment go on for years and years….. with 23m people we don’t have the base for the professional sports on the scale with four codes of winter ball sports. Focus on sports yes but have a plan B for some cash flow

I would think as players they would want to also play for their state and compete against them in the up coming comp…… as some of those picked have developed in the last six months.

Well they have two second rowers in teams and with four gps teams why not have a line out stealer and high level player called up….. with four teams for GPS surely there are some 2 XV players of note……

GPS games aside any known school holiday games happening ? Vs CAS or others ? Always good to see the comparison later in the season?

Wet day but 3 XV comp is looking good plenty of close games
