Yep it's an interesting point - 7 games over the course of a year in the AIC competition isn't the only time many of these top level and sought after players are going to be playing.
Really,?your kidding yourself ,name 1 kid who has a contract with a rugby union team in any of those age groups ?,I think the management team you work for,are having a lend of you mate, all the other management companies are at the junior league games...
Totally agree more boys in the AIC first teams would play more league than they do union especially the big names such as Mikael Imbrahim, Andrew De Jager, Larry Siala and many more boys.
Those boys named and the others in Mal teams will have a lot to prove this year. Will make for a great contest.
cant sign them at that age, however i do know of 6 kids in that age we manage that have been provided 100% scholarships to GPS schools and will be snapped up by clubs either here or overseas before they finish school
good luck to them,I know of many kids who where on full scholarships,and are now playing colts 3 and 5th grade...............

Brisbane Lions running a skills session at the St Laurence’s Open Day. I get we can’t match their budget, and they are really trying to cultivate SLC as an AFL school of excellence, but far out I’d love to see the Reds do something similar there. (Maybe they are and I don’t know about it!)

Also to add second rower from last year patty Gavin I saw on the bench with no crutches or brace looks like he will be ready for footy this year
Awful's a bit harsh. First hit outs are always a bit rusty. Definitely some positives - coming back from 19-5 down after letting in 2 long range tries in 2 minutes the boys showed a lot of character. Agree 12 was best on field for MCA. Pat Tierney played well at 10 and Barry at 13 was solid. Tom Howard, yr 10, looks to have cemented his position with a strong display after coming on as a reserve. Scored with his first touch off a well worked backline move and set one up with a blistering 70m break out of his own 22. Set piece needs some work though. Scrum was on skates all day against a very big Downlands pack, huge front row that would be as big as any GPS front row. Line out was very shaky too, looked clueless at times. Plenty of work there, and yes, goal kicking was very poor. Hopefully can sort it out on the Sydney tour.
Any Paduans to keep an eye on this season?
wasn't really watching the individuals. A nippy little half back who played the 2nd half and a coupe of fluent back movers I guess.
Marist playing knox and joeys on there tour any other schools touring?
they arent playing the Knox 1st XV, its a combined 2nd 3rd XV.
And how do you know that?
