Aran Speldewinde (NC) also Y11 (played all games bar 1 for 1stXV) so you seem to have 8 Nudgee Y11s playing 1stXV

Digger MacMillan is year 12, the only 1st XV members returning:

12. Jaidon Schafer
13. Nigel Vanuseva (QLD II)

Not one member of the Churchie 16A's made QLD U16.

Nigel is supposedly a big force for ACGS - he didn't play against BGS so I didn't see him. How is he and what potential does he have?

6 year 11's have had some 1st XV game time for churchie this year. 5 of them have started. Nigel is injured. And Macmillian is in year 11.

Another bleak year for ACGS to come?

Yes I know Nigel is injured, he went down early against Nudgee. Are you sure regarding MacMillan, thought he was born in '95.

 

[BOLO_lol]

State High had no 16's make it through either? They on the same boat as ACGS for next year ?

Another bleak year for ACGS to come?

It will be especially bleak if no changes are made to the coaching staff although as we all know, teaching staff across the country are not paid on performance like people in the commercial workforce. It will be interesting to see what Churchie's end of season synopsis will be....

Tip: Jones, Bell and Nucifora to be shown the door.

Tip: Jones, Bell and Nucifora to be shown the door.

I would have thought one of them would survive after a very robust round of ...."it was his fault, no it was his fault"....

 

[Gingerbat]

If your picking on individual "form" how do you pick Banks when he hasnt been playing?

Good point! ( forgot my own rules)
Saw him in schoolboys selection trials and he was excellent - but as u say he's been injured most of the season

Pretty certain MacMillan in year 11 this year. Played First XV last year when 16 but in year 10. Can also remember him in a Year 11 rowing crew this year.

 

[Dark Shark]

Bit of both. Also injuries to 2012 seniors Jack heenan and Xavier Power have resulted in some year 11s having to step up to the plate, but then again injuries are bound to happen. Not sure how next year will go, rumour has it that there is a flanker coming from state high (Year 10-2012), for me next year could come down to whether there is a good flyhalf available (Not sure about 15As this year)

Agree with you on needing a good flyhalf, but also a good halfback as well. The flyhalf in the Terrace 15A's this year was Alex Horan. Played u15 Met North, but not sure how well he actually plays.

Tim Horan's son right?

Macmillan is definitely Yr 11

Did Paulo end up getting a run in the Firsts this year? Health issues kept him out since July and when I saw him play just recently it was in the u16's.

Whats wrong with Fowler at halfback?

From my knowledge, the year 11's at TSS that have experienced First XV are as follows:

Jake Lyon - #2
Jake Upfield - #4
Evander Guttenbiel - #5/8
Luke Papworth - #6/7
Joel Brown #6/7
Ed Gibson #9/10/12/15
Nili Fielea #11/12
Fred Dorrough #10/12
Isaac Nathan #14

The thing that sets these players apart are the fact that I would regard Lyon, Guttenbiel, Papworth and Fielea as genuine key players for the current team. I see serious rep potential in all of them. Nonetheless, next year is next year, and if this year has proven anything, it is that you cannot make predictions based on trials and teamsheets. Best of luck to Nudgee and Grammar this weekend.
