hard to predict because we don't know any of the players but you'd expect GT to come out on top

ahah he's a troll. Monty isn't signed with Stade Francais.
Don't Feel sorry for Eddies, they defeated Ashgrove yesterday and are on track to win an outright premier ship for AIC. It would be very exciting if eddies and IGS had a trial game.

Here is my crack at some GPS Selections – Teams 1 and 2 are straight forward and Team 3 is a mixture of smokies and people who could surprise. I will also say I may have inadvertently overlooked a player or two, particularly those who may have repeated.
A couple of things around this. Who knows what the selectors are looking for? I for one do not know what game plans they will be building their teams around. Many of the spots are hotly contested, but I find the second rower stocks very weak. Some players are also out of their normal positions, as it was the only way I could fit some quality players in.
Some schools changing player’s positions for this season has also caused some difficulty. BGS has moved some of their better back into the forwards like Aiono (prop) and Kemp (flanker). GT have moved Leofa from a backrower to prop and those movements have muddied the waters a little.
The lack of true game time also makes it a little harder. As I understand it, all nine schools are going through selection trials on Saturday week. They have been split into three pools of three teams for the trial and will have only the two games against the other teams in their pool to assist selectors. I believe the pools are as follows:-
Pool 1 – BGS, TSS, BBC
Pool 2 – NC, ACGS, GT
Pool 3 – TGS, IGS, BSHS
The battle for the flyhalf position between Mitch Third and Mac Mason will be a highlight. It is a pity they will not be head to head in the trials. I am also not sure if Tuttle and Halliday will be contesting for their current position in their school team (flyhalf) or the position they have played rep football in the past (halfback). The backrower competition will also be a cracker in almost every game.
I have also put a list of "Reggies" for guys that I thought were unlucky to miss out. Some of these positions I could not fill with any certainty
And also a departure from previous years I have no u16 players from this year named in the three GPS sides. Leofa may have been a chance, but for reasons mentioned above, it will be difficult. Another standout from last year’s u15 State Champs, Maroney is not even in the current probable starting XV at his school.

Depending on form during selections I believe any of the GPS players named could step up into one of the two QLD Schoolboy teams. Particularly with the migration of a larger than normal number of boys into the GPS system this year, I believe that GPS players will make up around 80% to 85% of the two Qld Schoolboys teams selected. Of the few players from outside the GPS, Wilkin, Devine and Hicks may get a look in. But I do not know their current form and that is only based on past reputation.
Also when tallying up the representative numbers (below) from the three teams by school, it really looks like the probable order of the GPS Premiership table at the end

Dark Shark These two boys had impressive performances at the National Under 16's last year and would be close to making some form of Rep team on your side of the Border. If your mob don't want them, can we have them back?
Fittock is a lightning quick winger/13, and Calugay is a 12/13 ball runner.

Yes HJ, I did not know the names, positions or form of these boys. Apologies for leaving out of consideration. It will be interesting to watch them perform at the trials and I will keep an eye on them. They have landed in two of the three teams that I believe that will be fighting to be the premier team in the GPS comp and they will no doubt enjoy a great flow of possession and creative use of the ball/.

Yes he is at GT and made an appearance or two in the Firsts squad but is not in the squad at this point.

Confirmation on Hiale Slade-Roycroft, He definitely is at GT.
He's had league commitments last few weeks Under 16's Cyril Connel Cup, North Devil's QLD State Champions 2013. Travelled to NSW for National State Champs on the w/end.
Not confirmed if he will be allowed to play Firsts as he came in Term 2.

Jonah Placid finished school last year.

No problems. I do find the info I get from the range is extremely limited. I had thought he repeated. TGS is probably the school that has the least direct contributors to this forum.

Huge changes at ipswich grammar this year with multiple position swaps to suit the new coaches needs.
Lineup:
1: Carlin Anderson (1st xv last year)
2: Harry Parcell (15A's, Met West 15s)
3: Maranantha Raeli (QLD Rugby League, contracted with Cowboys)
4: Ethan Page (Contracted with Broncos)
5: Billy Jackwitz (16A's last year)
6: Glen Brown (16A's last year)
7: Connor Storck (Import NSW)
8: James Todd (1st xv last year)
9: Dallas Flannagan (Import NSW)
10: Matthew Adcock (15A's, Met West 15s)
11: Josvyn Sokimi (15A's, Met West 15s, QLD club 15's)
12: Johaan Koorts (15A's, Met East 15s, QLD club 15's)
13: Shambeckler Vui (15A's, Met West 15s, QLD club 15's)
14: Izaack Rodda (Import NSW)
15: Sonny Tasi (1st xv last year)
Notable changes are James Todd at 8 this year as IGS are looking for a good ball player at the back of the set piece, Shambeckler Vui at 13 as the new coach is looking for a strong running option in the centres and Matthew Adcock is making the transition into flyhalf following in the footsteps of his older brother who played last year at 10 for the first XV at ipswich. Jamason Shultz is also a noticable absence as he has suffered a season ending injury.
My prediction is a top 4 finish, a team to look out for this season!

Yes this is true, he tore his ACL at training last week according to members of the squad.
