I know from an Ippy Grammar perspective, they have Landon Hayes and Carlin Anderson repeating; as well as Dallas Flanagan (prop) from NSW, Izack Rodda (second row NSW) and Dylan Gale (front row NSW). Latham Takau has left Ippy Grammar and decided to repeat year 12 over in Auckland at King's College.

Buying players will only get you so far. Can't help but feel sorry for St. Edmunds (AIC) for losing two of their best players, Harley and Izaia (no. 13). Mack Mason will go well in the GPS (had played 1st XV at Downlands since year 9). Team still looks really good though, and should contend for the title.
BGS are also looking particularly strong with a new winger (Junior GC Titan) who plays a lot like speedster Matt Marsden and a new inside centre as (apparently a Junior Bronco). Zac Laud to push into the tight five so I hear. Where will guys like Trey Kemp (QLD u16) and Harry Egan (JGS) fit into the team?
Nudgee, TSS and Churchie to fight it out for the premiership. BSHS to be wooden spooners again.
