Well the 2007 season is just about to start and while this years footballers are yet to make there mark there have been some pleasing results with regard to some past graduates.

2003 graduate Benjii Marshall pulled up well from the recent Tigers trial against Canberra at Souths Logan and is set to sizzle in 07.

2004 graduate Sam Moa and 2006 graduate Matt Parata also had pleasing games on the same day playing for Tigers Premier League against the Souths Logan Qld Cup side. Both have performed consistently throughout the opening trial series.

2005 Graduate and Peter Sterling medal winner Ben Teo is making a fine recovery from injury and by all accounts is training the house down while 2006 graduates Damon Harth and Kingi Akoula are also performing well in Flegg and look likely to breakthrough into higher grades in the coming season. The Hermanator is also making great leaps forward in regards to fitness and skill level and could also be one to watch.

2005 Old Boy Rangi Chase is now at St. George and Greg Eastwood has never looked as fit as he did playing for the Broncos in the World Club Challenge. ( Well not since he was at Keebra anyhow)

Current student Robert Lui (pictured) has also been accepted into the AIS and will be featured in an upcoming update.

So while this year has yet to be played out there are some interesting developments with our ex grads and that is again a positive diagnostic guage of the benefits of the program.

So who knows what will happen in 2007......will we see the Arrive Alive Cup in the foyer?.......will Mr Hart continue his world record breaking unbeaten run as a coach? (unbeaten since 2001, the longest run since records began)..........will the HPE staff continue as school swimming carnival relay champions? (featuring Mr Woolf, Mt Isa's answer to the Thorpeedo)....so many questions unanswered ..well we will just have to wait and see.
