Apologies, I was referring to the 13
Nope that is the 13, the 12 has been at GT for ever.

Was disappointing to learn this week that the star loose forward in the BSHS 14 A's is off to terrace next year. Massive loss for High & huge pick up for Terrace. Do Terrace need to add further to this age group??.He is in year 8, will play 1st when 16 in grade 10 so adding someone now that will give 3 yrs service to your 1sts make sense I suppose. Such a talented young fella with an exceptional pedigree.
Wow... u have great creditability playing the race card..Lil bit hysterical isn't it Real Deal ?
I can literally think of 1 current player from U13 to Opens where this has been the case . And no one stole anyone . The family / players , y'know , exercise free will in making a decision for change for whatever their reasons be.
And "Tommy" I would think has nothing to do with it
And yes ....State High's recruitment remains strong with the many sovereign island states of the South Pacific
But I'm buggered if I know why they could barely put a 2nds team on the park last weekend
Gee i am glad terrace are taking the old BBC approach and stealing players from other GPS schools and taking some of the hatred towards us here at BBC away. go tommy.. whilst he is a good player saying he will be in firsts in year 10 is a big call . isnt his brother playing firsts currently . interesting call from his parents. Don't think it is a massive loss as from my reports the recruitment is strong at state so im sure they will roll in another quaility player. GPS rugby is in trouble if swaping schools becomes common place. where will it stop

I am sure you know that BSHS doesn't actually recruit from the Pacific Islands.
In my years covering the comp I can't think of any other examples in the First XV.
Additionally @ King ...I did say "current" but thanks for the memories
All of the GPS teams treat this game as a bye. They rarely field a full strength first fifteen team. It simply is not worth the risk of injuries.Might not be very relevant but Downlands College is fielding a very good team this year and should put it over TGS in the Inaugural "Ocallaghan Cup" in a few weeks
My round 7 tips:
NC vs TSS: After the big Nudgee boys get their morning milf everyone should be ready for a cracking game of rugby. A classic in the making as both sides battle it out to decide which tastes nicer, sharkfin soup or barbecued polar bear. Will go down to the wire however Nudgee to scrape home by 2
BGS vs BSHS: After State High win the match in the first 5 minutes the rest of the time will be spent debating which school will get the better QCS marks. A tough pick but for mind Grammar will come out on top again. Meanwhile State High will have blown it out for a 50 point win in the rugby.
BBC vs ACGS: Still comiserating the loss to State High last week and with an eye on the Terrace game next week BBC will be slow out of the blocks and Churchie will think they have a chance however once BBC wake up it will be easy pickings. BBC by 15
TGS vs GT: The Terrace parents will arrive complaining of why they need to come up to a place which doesn't even have a big screen for which to admire their highlights against BGS however fortunately for them the players should be focused enough to get past a determined and unlucky woomba. GT by 7

Player movement between the schools is not exactly common, nor is it restricted to any one school
Ben Tarr went from BBC First XV 2011 to TSS First XV 2012
Matt Forsyth went from BGS First XV 2013 to GT First XV 2014.
Benroy Sala went from BSHS U15s in 2011 to two years in the BBC First XV
Kyle Leofa went from BSHS U15s to GT First XV in 2013-14
In my years covering the comp I can't think of any other examples in the First XV.

Really King? You can't think of any other examples? Not even a certain ex-churchie playmaking flyhalf who won the first premiership in 20 years for your old school just a few years ago?
