william morris of SLC deserves a go at 10 for the Black n Gold
Probably one of the most interesting match ups for this team will come down to who wears the 9 jersey. Based on my opinion and my opinion only, i believe the Bingham boy deserves it, he posses the skills needed for a genuine scrum half. However, that's not to say Aidan Beiers can't fill this role, for anyone who watched the St. Laurence's 16A's this year would know what he is capable of, but there is just that little something missing from his game, that i can't quite put my finger on... will be an interesting pre-season for the Lauries fellas.
I've watched many of the 1st XV and 16A's games of the AIC competition this year; particularly Eddies, St Peters and Marist and I've really come to enjoy watching the likes of Tevita Maka, Andrew Manu, Rory Humphries, Lachlan Roe, Moses Rambi and Jordan Tkatchenko. These boys will hold their respected 1st XV teams up next year without a doubt. The last fella I named not many know of; Jordan Tkatchenko. He is a good five-eighth who has the capacity to win games and it really showed it in the St Peters 16A's surprising season, particularly the win over Lauries this year.
So look out for these kids next year!
I am definitely looking forward to a close AIC season next year.
My tip: Eddies.
i dont kno man mcbride beat our 15a team in the second half when we were up by like 15 points. hes actually alright
He seams alrightCarter Ozanne, IONA hooker. MET EAST under 15's, thoughts?
Iona rugby 2012 are shaping up to be a dominate team with most of the boys having played together and meshing well with each other Lauries will have a good team this year, and Eddies will be a powerhouse as usual.Firstly, I find it comical that people on this forum continue to write off iona... this year's team will have 8 players returning with first xv experience from 2011 (there were seven 16 year olds and one year eleven 17 year old in last years team), 2 of which were selected in U16 queensland red with one being named player of the tournament and the other now signed with the broncos. Most of the others who played last year have rep experience and are all solid players. Secondly, the idea that "Ashgrove, Eddies, Lauries and Villa" will be the dominant four for this season is ridiculous. St Eddies will undoubtedly be a powerhouse this year, and in my pick are premiership favourites, and Ashgrove will not be far off the pace either (although their rugby dominance has dropped over the past few years). However the idea of lauries and villa being in the top 4 teams is just rubbish, and I believe both will even struggle to beat this years St Peters outfit... Anyway regardless of what people say, 2012 will be a very interesting season.
Good TeamMy pick for the 2012 season:
1. Hayden Ritson/Josh Fifita-Chaudary
2. Carter Ozanne
3. Pat Anderson
4. Matt Burke
5. Sharley Yak/Pete McCauliffe
6. Jack Holt
7. Brad Wilkin
8. Jordan Smith
9. Lachlan Lewis
10. Matt Scott
11. Joseph Wood/Darcy Richardson
12. Todd Dawson/Bran Corcoran
13. Bran Corcoran/Hola/Todd Dawson
14. Hola/ Corcoran
15. Josh McKersey
Backing for a win ?Yeah the whole team is solid. Anderson, Burke, Holt, Wilkin, Corcoran and McKersey all played every game in last years First XV, with matt scott playing the trial against Nudgee 2nd XV before breaking his ankle a week later and Josh Fifita-Chaudary starting in the pre-season trial against Brisbane Grammar. On top of that, Anderson, Ozanne, Dawson, McKersey, Burke and Yak played rep last year. Obviously Wilkin and Corcoran are freaks and no further comment is needed.
