Solid team, how ever there are two forward spots which are filled with padua boys that is horrific judgment.
3.Garreth Ryan? no doubts he is a big boy, but in no way is he AIC pontential. His size is a waste due to his poor rugby skills and his lack of technique. This was proven as he was dominated by a much smaller forward pack in the rucks against pattys last week.
8. Tom Richter? Once again a big boy, but all through the season he has been playing more of a winger role then a forward. In most games you wont see tom near a ruck or mall, rather wait for the ball to be spread wide and he will take a one of run like its a game of league. He reminds me much of st pats big number 3 last year, would bludge on the outskirts and wait for his one run of a half.
just because they carry size doesnt mean they are good forwards, theres a lot more to it.
From my experience some schools selectors rate size over technique, mobility and fitness. Room for all but these players are usually great impact players.
Brad Wilkin and Andrew ManuHow will the AIC teams fare against their GPS counterparts this year? In the past there have been some fairly one sided games, however, after looking at some of the scores and outcomes on this thread it seems that the AIC competition as a whole seems to be growing stronger.
Does anyone with knowledge of both competitions know if many AIC players will be in the mix for QLD or Aus schoolboy spots?

Forgot to mention that the winger from Ashgrove Nathan Bassini also has a shot on making one of the AIC teamsAIC 1

I do think Manu will be AIC 1 and peters hooker will be AIC 2.I’m guessing Manu earned his place based on previous games and maybe last year. Because i thought the hooker from St.Peter’s completely outperformed him last week. And no, I’m not a Peters student or and old boy before anyone starts asking. I hear a few of them are on here talking themselves up hahah
