it would be pretty dumb. always funny seeing level 2's throwing threats around as if they own the forum.

Question I'd like to pose. Is GPS rugby turning towards producing more first-grade league players rather than union?
In the past 10 years
Kings have produced
Scots have produced
I thought of this watching Penisini but genuinely think the production of players from these schools could very well be shifting towards the NRL. Would love to hear some comments regarding this

Why wouldn't they park them at league schools to further develop skills in the sport they're actually prioritising?
Such as Gregs, Pats or Westfields

Because as someone who went to one of those schools the GPS/CAS schools (even the worst of these schools is better performed ) are all better academically and do offer opportunities that make them more attractive to the player or family To some extent the players are shopping themselves to both rugby and league - that won’t happen otherwise. Peter Mulholland Cup ( a great bloke- so a clue there I went) in league highlights a few teams and players but GPS/CAS makes it really easy to watch players develop.

NRL clubs aren’t stupid. The offer of two years at a AAGPS school gives these kids a taste of something they would never dream of. Some AAGPS schools are known as “parking stations” as they are very happy to accept these players. Not all schools do.
