Rory Humphries and Tevita Folau, both from Eddies made Queensland U18 rep side.
Also heard the Marist 10 played State U15 half back for WA in 2010 and was in the Rugby WA Academy program for a while before moving to QLDFrom a realiable source I have heard that Marist number 10 should be playing number 9. Apparently he got selected for club rep as a brilliant nine and would have gone further if it wasn't for an injury in his final game. Not sure how the current nine got his position? heard something like he's the coaches son?
Notice how i said "other players with POSSIBLE chances" when referring to the Peters' 10; never once did i rate him as a quality player. Personally im yet to see a number 10 stand up and have a serious go at the AIC 1 jersey and in my opinion that spot is open to anyone at this stage of the season. And how can you speak of over-rated players then say the Peters' 9 will be in? He has not impressed in the games ive seen of Peters. I haven't seen him play yet this season but id say St Lauries scrumhalf Damon Bingham would have a good shot at the AIC 1 number 9. Great pass, box-kick, defence as well as good game-sense and vision. Definately wouldn't be surprised if he took it out.
Up and Jam is clearly a St Peters troll with nothing between his ears... Manu will play hooker in rep duties and Brayden Torpy is out for the season with a broken arm. Also where is Sorridimi in your "AIC 1" front row... And KVG91, Iona's number 13 played QLD 16 Red last year at starting outside and is signed with the Broncos. Yes he hasn't exactly fired this year yet (is playing about 75% with a knee injury) but if he isn't at this "AIC 1 Level" that you speak of then who is? In regards to St Peters players selected in AIC 1, i would have said definately Rambi at either wing or fullback, but obviously he is out of the race now with his broken ankle. Other players with possible chances would be the 10 Tkatchenko and the 11 Duma, other than that i cant see any other backs in the mix for AIC 1 and i didnt take much notice of the forwards.
All jokes aside what would you say your criteria are for selection of a 9 or 10 for AIC ? I am interested because there are many differing opinions in this thread.
The Marist 7 is Sam Clarke6. Marist 7 - name escapes me
Based on what I have seen this year, thus dismissing last years play and whatever rep sides they have made in the past, I would have the 10 from Ashgrove (Knox) playing 9 and either the Peters 10 Tkatchenko or the Eddies 10 as the AIC halves combination.
These St Peters kids are looking like absolute idiots and really should stop now.
arent you contradicting yourself there KVG? the ashgrove 10 has only played 10 this year so why would you move him to 9, a position he played last year, if you are dismissing last years play?
calm down there brisbanerugby93, its just one persons opinion. up and go's team doesnt look too bad. granted manu is going to be the aic1 hooker but he could quite easily play as no.8 as his ball running skills are the best in the comp. I saw the peters 2 against marist and his set piece that game was pretty good, so having those 2 in the side wouldn't be crazy just very unlikely. my team would look something like this;
1. Sorridimi - Villanova
2. Manu - Eddies
3. Hatzis - Lauries
4. Roe - Eddies
5. Butterworth - Lauries
6. Marist 7 - name escapes me
7. Grey - Peters
8. Wilkin - Iona
9. Briskie - Padua
10. Knox - Ashgrove
11. Duma - Peters
12. Humphries - Eddies
13. Maka - Ashgrove
14. Bennet - Peters
15. Bennet - Eddies
this team would be big enough and have the skills necessary to take on gps 1. the backline has 2 big boppers to bend the defence in Duma and Maka with speed on the flanks in the form of the 2 bennets. the forward pack has 3 good ball runners in Manu, Roe and Wilkin and 2 excellent ruck technicians in Grey and the Marist 7, rounded out by 2 hard working props.
Would you pick Padua boys when they have been the worst team this year? Even the shocking Pats side of this year has produced better quality performances under the pump than the Padua team of this year.Pretty much spot on mate.
Thoughts on AIC 2 then?.

Anyone help to fill the blanks.
These are based on solid performances I have seen this year, even with Padua 0 from 4 . These forwards have done the job for me
I do agree with what your saying, and due to Padua's poor performances this year, may cost them in the rep teams, however from the 2 games I have seen, richter, Ryan and Collins have done the work of the entire forward pack and have troubled opposition teams at times. Without these 3 in the pack, Padua would concede close to 60 points every week. But if they don't pick up a few wins, it will probably cost them their spots in AIcWould you pick Padua boys when they have been the worst team this year?

Yeah yeah I see what you mean, poor blokes deserve a shot in a decent team! Seems like last year may have been a one off for Padua and Pats alike?I do agree with what your saying, and due to Padua's poor performances this year, may cost them in the rep teams, however from the 2 games I have seen, richter, Ryan and Collins have done the work of the entire forward pack and have troubled opposition teams at times.
