We want you to cast your vote on the top player, and the 13 players with the highest amount of votes will form a bumper Queensland schoolboys team of the year.

In Southeast Queensland’s Langer Trophy competition, Keebra Park SHS trio Joey Tupuse, Mason Barber and David Bryenton were thrill-a-minute performers. Ipswich SHS, who were unbeatable in the home-and-away season, had youngsters like Tom Parker step up from fullback.

The Palm Beach Currumbin SHS Reds also had a group of top guns, featuring the Harrison twins, Isaac and Zane, and many others.

Cast your vote below on who you think should make the ultimate Queensland schoolboys rugby league team of the year. Zane Harrison (right) is pictured above after a man of the match performance in the Langer Trophy final.

Up north in the Aaron Payne Cup, the Benioni brothers, Davidson and Benioni, starred for Kirwan SHS while Adam McSherry was masterful for St Patrick’s College.

The Central Queensland competition, the Dolphins Cup, also unearthed some fine talent sure to poll some votes. St Brendan’s College premiership winning captain Simon Green was one of the finest.
