I just noticed the Schoolboy U15 QLD RL teams were announced a few weeks back - GT, BBC, BSHS and NC all had a player selected.

1. Neither of the boys played RL last year? only union because they are only union.
So did BGS. The boy from NC did not have much game and appeared to be injured. Unsure how he was selected. Most of the boys are already in the QAS Emerging Squad or playing for the Cyril Connell Cup.
I think he was actually down for GT but my sources tell me he is from BGS. Maybe he changed after the school holidays. Previously attended AIC School St Pats. He was also selected for the Qld Reds U15 Team in April this year. Plays with passion and always at 100%.Is the BGS new to the school? I can't see a BGS student in the 40 selected across the two squads - he must have been down as at another school.

Lots of big names in the BBC forwards.
Who are the certainties for GPS 1?
These players represented Australian Schoolboys last year as well as QLD I and must be considered automatic selections for Qld I this year if they are uninjured:
Prop - Gavin LUKA — St Joseph’s Nudgee College QLD I
Lock - Reece HEWAT — St Joseph’s Nudgee College QLD I
In addition to those, it is understood that all these young men who represented Queensland I, Queensland II or Combined States at the 2014 ASRU Championships are still at school this year and in all likelihood they should also be chosen this year:
Lock - Darcy TAIMUA-SWAIN, Brisbane Boys College, Qld I
Centre - Calvin PRITCHARD, St Joseph’s Nudgee College, Qld I
Loose Forward - Jack FARRELL, Brisbane Boys College, Qld I
Centre - Matthew SMIT, Brisbane State High School, Qld II
Fullback - Geoffrey ROBERTSON, Ipswich Grammar School, Qld II
Halfback - Reuben WALL, St Joseph’s College Gregory Terrace, Qld II
Flanker - Martin KOORTZ Brisbane State High School, Combined States
Prop - Thomas O’TOOLE Padua College, Combined States
Anyone from 2014 National Championships who is back at School in 2015 not listed above?
Using the rule of incumbency, there are still plenty of gaps to fill for 2015:

2. H

GT have recruited a RL Boy. I think his name is Hoani Ford-Stevens. Previously been award the U13 and U14 RL Rep player but did not make the U15 Qld RL squad this year. My sources tell me he is on the QAS RL Emerging Squad for 2105. He played Five-eighth in RL. The BGS boy is Thomas Gilbert. I think he might be playing for the 1st this year? DOes anyone know?
Depends what's on offer I guess..

I think you have missed my point here, i was replying to GSP's comments "best 2 RL players in 2014", neither of these boys played RL in 2014, RU only and both very talented, so if one of them has made the white side i don't think it is because he is a long time RL player. From what i have heard Tau Tau is playing club league this year, only his second season with a club in 3 years since he made the U12 QLD School Boys, prior to that he had only played club unionMakes it very hard to understand how one of them was selected in the Qld U15 RL White side for this year.
Sources tell me - 2012 U12 Qld School Boys Representative, current QAS RL emerging U15 Squad, and ? contracted with the Broncos - so take your pick - Not bad considering union background. I was told he got injured and didn't get much game time, but the time he got he did his job. The boy from NC did not have much game and appeared to be injured. Unsure how he was selected.
Pretty sure all 4 boys are involved with RL at some level.Tau Tau, Small, Woods and the winger Naawi were impressive last year. I can confirm Tau Tau and Naawi play for the same club in RL. Don't get me wrong Tau Tau is a lethal player, but the rest of the boys will catch up to him.
