Speaking of Alstonville, do Joey Fittock and Frankie Caluguy come on the "market" this year for Colts?
They were under 16 in 2012 for NSW Schools but have crossed the border for 2013 schooling. Not sure whether they matriculate this year or have another year to go.
There is a disparity between the QLD and NSW school system which means that the QLD cohort typically finish as 17 year olds not 18 year olds as in NSW.

I've heard from a few coaches UQ have been doing the GPS school circuit - "boosting & over committing to players" was one quote.
Apparently trying to recruit leading representative schoolboys where their incumbent Premier Colts players have another year. Blindside & flyhalf was the example I heard where they have Korzyck & Dalgliesh.
Full hats off to them for being active though! Some other clubs should take note.

Conrad is a Sunnybank Junior and has been working in the Sunnybank gym as part of his school based traineeship.

Conrad quick may have done a bit of work there, but he only moved to Brisbane from cairns as a 16 yr old so I don't think sunnybank can really claim him as home grown. Interesting to see where all the rest of the BBC boys go as most of them are on scholarship and not local to the west side.
That would be my mistake. I half overheard something and obviously got the wrong end of the stick. My bad.

Saw this on the Colts 2014 thread - not sure that it's totally accurate but quite a number of them are likely correct.

Conor Young - Nudgee College Ex: Yamba Buccaneers Junior and Matt Gibbon - Nudgee College Ex: Wollongbar Junior both boy come through North Coast Rep and Country Cockatoos then Nudgee are off to Southern Districts in Sydney.
Southern Districts has the Yamba connection already the with ex: local Buccaneer and Wallaby / Super 15 Waratah player Kane Douglas, also Kane’s younger brother Jake is playing grade there. Another ex-Junior Buccaneer rugby talent and Super 15 Waratah player Jed Holloway plays 1st Grade there when is duties are not needed in the Super 15 Waratah side.

Is Matt Gibbon the brother of Alex?

I believe so, he played Aust A schools.
Souths should have plenty of front row depth with Cameron Orr and Jake Palarmo still in colts 2014.

I think you'll find that a number of the Easts suggestions have fathers who played at Easts whilst another has a brother at Randwick.

I've heard that most if not all the yr 12 barker 1st xv is heading to warringah. This combined with the usual influx of augustines boys should see the rats with a strong colts team next year.
I've heard otherwise. Good sources tell me the majority of Barker 1st xv leavers are heading to the likes of parramatta and west harbour. Although I hear the likes of Harry jones and jack slack smith are staying loyal to their junior club warringah. However, like I said, the majority are heading to parramatta and west harbour
