Rockhampton Grammar School. It's in Central Queensland not a huge school but the biggest in the area. Only one league where it is though. However, it's provided a few players including the likes of Steve Moore. And is now giving out scholarships and have founded a partnership with Gold Coast Titans. They also partake at the Ballymore Cup.

Interesting to here - from mates in coaching staff etc I've heard he's a great player and I believe is in the leadership team. I feel as though it was likely he moved down to Brisbane for better Footy opportunities/Uni.

Just would like to give a shoutout to Norths Colts 1 winger, Sam dickie. He has had an enormous season, which has rewarded him with a prem grade debut. In 2022, he was playing 3rd XV for terrace, and he has just now been selected for the u19 reds squad.

Sorry @The Blin6side I didn't see your previous post which had already mentioned Sam dickies growth over the last couple of years.

Hey TW, I think you might be spot on with most of you’re selections but these would be my changes….
In the forwards, I’d move Brosnan to 8, Latu to the bench and Tom Robinson (UQ) into the 2nd row. I also expect John Grenfell (Nudgee) to get some game time rotating in with the other hookers during the campaign.
In the backs I’d swap Reidy with Martens to start at 9. IMO Martens has been the stand-out Colt getting lots of game time in 1st Grade as well and looks a cut above the rest when starting in Colts 1 for Wests this year - he’s my tip to be named Colt of the Year.

1/2 here - I was surprised in how well bond played. I feel as though it just wasn't easts day as everything seemed to be going wrong for them.

I think Latu is the only genuine ball running Number 8. Brosnan is a lock that hasn't played all year.
Can see your point on Martens, but with Nason at 10, he needs the best pass which is Reidy. Martens will come on and spark up the pace, often in colts this year he tried to do too much and over played his hand in my opinion.

Despite Brosnan not playing all year, watching him during the early season for colts 1 he was extremely dominate in his carries as well as his ball skills. I'm not taking a shot at your pick with Latu, just saying Brosnan is always a genuine threat for this position, assuming he is fit at training...

I'm curious to what everyone's thoughts are about Charlie Cooke (Wests). I saw him play a couple games earlier this year and couldn't believe how dominate and hardworking he was for a first-year graduate. Also, a big fan of teammate Finlay King (Wests), even though Finlay isn't necessarily big for hooker he has got some real guts, also loves a bit of chat of the field. Reminds me of what Colts footy is all about.

Evening,
With all the hype around finals just wanted to shed some light on the down and the dumps teams who haven't quite hit their stride. Sunnybank and GPS for me were complete failures this season although possessing some generational talent within their juniors. I am quite disappointed particularly with the Sunnybank boys who have been consistently dominant in the junior age groups, but fall off a cliff when senior footy comes knocking. Brothers by far have the more complete program, just unaware of where Sunnybank and GPS go from here? Are there any schoolboy options arising next year for these clubs partcuraliry in the AIC and GPS competitions. Would love to hear some names and potential lineups.
Cheers

Souths played very well against Wests in the last game of the season, winning 25-12. In the Semi final and Preliminary final, Souths probably haven’t played to their full potential. If they can click to that potential, I'm tipping Souths.
