I have recently published a consultation (green) paper seeking input in to the future direction of junior rep rugby in Queensland. This has been distributed to all our affiliates (regions). If you haven't seen it the bottleneck is at regional or club level.
My email address is:- don@qjru.com.au
If anyone emails me requesting a copy I would gladly send it to you and welcome a response.

Don,
First and foremost let me commend you on the good work you do for grassroots rugby!
I cannot speak for QLD but from my personal experience in NSW, there is a better chance of a talented player being recognised in school rugby than there is at the club rugby.
This is reflected in the participation numbers and also the preference to favour school rep teams over club rep teams!
I personally have lost a lot of respect for the SJRU and NSWJRU.
