Oh yeah, he's also signed to the mighty Storm as far as I know.​

peni terepo for eels and rodney moefaauo for sharks...

so does this mean from 19 selected, 9 played for nswchs, and they finished 3rd!

and 6 were from the qld side that won the title scoring 100+ pts in the semi and final?

would korbin sims and jay lobwein or maybe a qld prop been unlucky to miss out?

Peni Terepo and Rodney Maefaauo were both Starters in front of PJ Asiata this year for Parra SG Ball, Bit of a surprise seeing him picked in front of both of them.

Excluding Peni and Rodney.

7 CHS players, 6 QLD players and 3 CCC players shows, well in my belief, half the side was picked before the tournament had been started.
Compare this Schoolboys side to last years or even the year before, their is a big difference.

CCC side is really poor.. They will get hammered

Queensland look like they have a pretty good side.. Where is Dom Walsh, I thought he was going to Palm Beach Currumbin? Have an awesome back row, would be even better if he was available.
Aaron Whitchurch is very good player!

CHS side to beat, awesome side, considering they lost Boyd Cordner (ccc last year) and Chris Thomas (chs last year). Kane Gillies in front of Nathan Massey is interesting. Never heard of the halfback. Where is Dale Finucane?

chs looked good on paper but lost to qld and ccc to finish in the 3rd-4th playoff, won that v act and get 9 from 19 selected of the aussie side!

Does anyone else think there should have been more players to have come from the NSW SG Ball grand finals? Notably, the Bulldogs / Storm players that made the NSW grand final. I believe the QLD comp is very tough too but just wondered if anyone else shared the same opinion?

It is a school based competition, hence them being called Australian Schoolboys. It isn't associated with the clubs other then the fact that many of the players are contracted to NRL clubs.
