On my lunchbreak today, I did my daily reading of the forum followed by an article followed by the courier mail, which discussed the Nrl interest in making the GPS school a nurseries for rugby league through adding the sport to the calendar. I find it fairly ironic that they want to further develop GPS talent into league, however I think we can all agree that they are already poaching the players regardless of no league comp in the GPS. It seems as if every schools first 15 have a boy signed to a nrl club. Just to name a few Laine-Sietu (NC), Iraguha (GT), Walker (IGS), Fifita (TSS), Howarth (BBC) . As further highlighted by the wallabies game on Saturday it's evident that all the talent is going to league in which schools marquee players are 9 times out of 10 signed to a league team on a contract. Although you can look at this on a major scale and point fingers towards Rugby Au I think there is some steps the GPS must make. And this is firstly in the hands of the heads of rugby for respective schools. For Gods sake, stop investing in rugby league players as scholarships. All of the boys mentioned above are on a sporting scholarship, however they will never play union professionally rather league. When I'm watching the games all I hear is that guy is signed to the broncos and never that he is signed to the reds. Rugby Au got very lucky retain Church old boy Frankie goldsbrough, but other than that the major talent within the comp is going to league. You could make a top 8 nrl side with players from this comp. Featuring the like of Carrigan, Fidow, Atkinson, Walker, Gilbert, Savage and many more names. For the sake of Australian rugby union schools need to stop investing in league players and foster future wallabies. I think that the competition should follow the likes of Sydney and make the competition over the course of two terms. It's no wander the reds academy always get pumped when up against the warratahs.
