Some quality there GO. It would be good to see The sides mixed up AIC x GPS & CS. I think we might see your 9 - 15 as AIC and your GPS selections are spot on. It's a shame these seasons are split.

All the sides are mixed up this year - its only 4 teams and each one will be made up of boys from AIC, GPS and CS.
Combined Schools named around 15 players after the 18s State Champs last weekend so I imagine there will be a similar number picked from AIC and the rest made up of GPS players.
Despite AIC being trampled for a while it will be a shame that there is no AIC vs GPS game. All in all mixed teams probably is a good idea.

^Considering CSS have been better performing in recent times - 15 to 16 is probably fair enough for AIC as well
At 16 a pop that is 32 spots out of 92 which leaves circa 60 spots . Apparently 6 x players from GPS 3 made Queensland Open or Combined States Teams last year

Any chat on SPLC #7 ?
Couldn’t make the game due to other commitments - but was certainly looking forward to viewing the contest between SPLC and MCA’s 7 - the latter deservedly gets a lot of attention but the former is no less then his equal IMO

Anyone know how St Pat v SLC finish?
Iona 26-5 over Padua. Very even first half but Iona always looked like they would finish the stronger. 9 was the difference.

Mid way point of the season and a check in on “the January book”
In retrospect - it’s probably fair to say SPLC up 1 then SLC down 2

Well at least for us, tries are only worth 4 points. Still not sure how I feel about this, it’s breaking a lot of tradition

A near sighted move by the AIC. Yes, the "demand" has been there for years but rather than trying to enhance the Union competition, they have now squeezed it into term 2 with barely a trial game before a 7 week competition.
And this is a pathway?
But I expect the AIC schools to lose a few Union boys with the AIC now clearly confused on what their future direction should be.
And this is a pathway?
- How much $ has the AFL and the NRL given to the AIC ?
- Why only one team per grade? What will other boys do?
- Why not extend the Union comp to a home & away over 2 terms? (like NZ schools rugby)
- Where will some boys' focus be in the last few weeks of term 2?

I couldn't say definitively Reg, but yes I think they do. That's why schools invest in their programmes because they know they are going to attract good athletes into those respective sports.
If Brisbane Grammar played League instead of Union and there was no rowing, I know plenty of dads who wouldn't be sending Billy there.
