Titans contracted Riley Lack made his NRRRL U18 debut on Sunday for Murwillumbah in their 28-10 win over Tweed Coast.
Murwillumbah hooker Jonah Whitlam-Rose scored his 5th try in nine games in Round Ten of the NRRRL U18 competition on Sunday as they defeated Tweed Coast 26-10.
19 year old Kel Sheather who has played out of position in the centres this season for Ballina in the NRRRL First Grade competition scored his third try in ten games this season as the Seagulls went down 22-18 to Cudgen.
As in previous seasons, Kel Sheather played for the Ballina Seagulls in the NRRRL First Grade competition but due to the presence of Jamie Lyon as captain/coach and five eight, Kel Sheather in fact started in the centres in Round One against Kyogle and contributed a try to Ballina’s 40 – 18 victory over the Turkey’s.
Kel Sheather started Round One of the 2019 New South Wales Country U23 competition at half for the Northern Rivers Titans against the Central Coast Roosters.
In the match, Kel Sheather did not have too many chances with the ball but was outstanding defensively, especially in relation to two plays in the first half. The first was when faced with a big overlap, he flew out of the line at the Central Coast half forcing a mistake and saving a try.
In the second instance, Kel Sheather tracked a Titans clearing kick and hit the Central Coast fullback in an outstanding front on tackle, jolting the ball loose, with the Titans scoring in the next set of six.
In the match Kel Sheather kicked one conversion which was a great kick from the left touchline.
In Round Two against the Greater Northern Tigers Kel Sheather also started at half once again and kicked three conversions in a good Northern Rivers Titans win. He also started at half in the Northern Rivers Titans U23 side’s semi-final against the South Coast Dragons finishing the match kicking three conversions form four attempts in their twenty point loss.
Kel Sheather was still eligible to play in the MM Cup competition in 2108 and in fact was named in the Tweed Heads Seagulls MM Cup squad but in fact has by-passed the U18 competition all together and commenced the 2018 season as the starting half back for the Tweed Heads Seagulls U20 Colts side and scored a good try in Round One against the North’s Devils when he split the North’s defence from around ten metres out when operating on the left side of the field.
Kel Sheather also started Rounds Two where he had a try assist and Three against Victoria and Burleigh respectively at half back. Kel Sheather has primarily played on the left side of the field so far this season for the Tweed Heads Seagulls.
Round Three against Burleigh once again saw Kel Sheather lead Tweed Heads around the field well especially in the second half with the Seagulls coming from behind to beat their local rivals by four points with two late tries.
In total for Tweed Heads in the 2018 Colts competition, Kel Sheather played in eleven matches scoring two tries. In addition to the try noted above against Victoria, Kel Sheather also scored against Wynnum Manly in Round Six.
Kel Sheather started his first eight U20 Hastings Deering’s Colts matches at half back, the last being in Round Eight against the Western Mustangs. In his other three matches being against Ipswich in Round Ten, Redcliffe in Round Thirteen and Wynnum Manly in Round Seventeen, Kel Sheather has started from the interchange bench.
Kel Sheather also played a number of matches in the NRRRL competition this season for Ballina making his NRRRL First Grade debut in June and scoring against Casino RSM. In his eight NRRL First Grade regular season matches in 2018 Kel Sheather has scored 32 points from four tries and eight goals.
Kel Sheather was also heavily involved in Ballina’s NRRRL First Grade final’s series, culminating in Ballina playing the Tweed Coast Raiders in the NRRRL First Grade Grand Final with Ballina going down 24 – 4 against the Tweed Coast Raiders in a physical contest in Ballina.
Kel Sheather started the Grand Final at five eight and operated primarily on the right side of the field for Ballina. He did not get too many chances in attack but acquitted himself well defensively against a Tweed Coast forward pack that sent a lot of traffic his way.
Kel Sheather had a huge match late in the regular season against Lower Clarence in Round Seventeen scoring two tries and kicking eight goals for an individual point’s haul of 24. Kel Sheather’s other regular season tries came in Round Seventeen against Lismore Marist Brothers and Round Seven against Casino RSM.
Kel Sheather also played one NRRRL U18 match being in May against the Tweed Coast Raiders and that day he then backed up for the First Grade match later in the afternoon.
The 2018 season is the second season in which Kel Sheather has been involved in the NRRRL First Grade competition after playing in nine matches in 2017, scoring one try.
The St Johns College Woodlawn half back in 2017 plyed his trade for the Ballina Seagulls in the NRRRL Northern Rivers Rugby League competition playing both first grade and U18’s this season as well as playing for St College Woodlawn in a number of Schoolboy competitions including the GIO Cup. Kel Sheather set up a great try in the semi-finals of the New South Wales Catholic Cup schoolboy competition when a great kick of his in the wet found the chest of centre Jordan Sly but a late try resulted in a 14 – 10 loss to Sydney’s Holy Cross Ryde.
Kel Sheather also scored a 100 metre try and was singled out for special praise by his coach in Woodlawn’s New South Wales GIO Cup Grand Final victory over Patrician Brothers Fairfield in Sydney in late August 2017.
Kel Sheather in 2017 played ten matches in the U18 NRRRL competition scoring 52 points from five tries and sixteen goals. All of his tries have been scored in different games and came against Tweed Coast on two separate occasions, Byron Bay, Casino RSM and Kyogle. Kel Sheather also played nine NRRRL first grade matches and scored his sole try in his third ever first grade match against Byron Bay.
In 2016 Kel Sheather started from the bench for the Northern Country Combined Catholic College side in the NSW CCC trials. Over the last couple of years, the young halfback has not played a great deal of club rugby league for his club side the Ballina Seagulls but has played a fair amount of matches, including the National GIO Cup competition with St Johns College Woodlawn.
Kel Sheather came to prominence in the green of Woodlawn in 2017 when he was part of the NSW CCC Cup Woodlawn side that made the semi-finals of that competition last year. That side included former Titan Sam Elliot and Zac Beecher who has previously played in the MM Cup competition of the Gold Coast.
Outstanding young winger Liam Cusack made it two hat tricks in as many weeks when he scored his hat trick on Sunday in Round Ten of the NRRRL First Grade competition as his Murwillumbah thread 2018 NRRRL First Grade Champions Tweed Coast 44-6.
He has now scored 14 tries from just nine 2019 NRRRL First Grade matches. In addition to the Round Ten hat trick noted above, he also scored a hat trick in Round Nine against Kyogle and doubles against Byron Bay (Round Seven) and Ballina (Round Four). In only Round One against Evans Head has Liam Cusack not scored with his other tries so far this season coming in Round Two against Cudgen, Round Five against Tweed Coast, Round Six against Casino RSM and Round Eight against Mullumbimby.
Liam Cusack started the 2018 season off as part of the Northern Rivers U18 Laurie Daley Cup side starting three matches in the centres scoring in his third and final start against the Greater Northern Tigers.
Post the Laurie Daley Cup competition, Liam Cusack had an outstanding campaign for the Cudgen Hornets in the NRRRL U18 competition finishing as the competitions leading try scorer in the regular season. Liam Cusack started the NRRRL U18 Grand Final in the centres but the Hornets hit a red hot Ballina Seagulls side going down 30 – 4 in the decider.
Liam Cusack played twelve U18 NRRRL regular season matches finishing with seventeen tries for a 142% strike rate. Liam Cusack scored hat tricks against Casino RSM and Evans Heads as well as doubles against Lower Clarence in two matches and Murwillumbah.
Liam Cusack’s other three tries came in matches against Lismore Marist Brothers, Kyogle and Murwillumbah.

Liam Cusack crossed for a hat trick against Mullumbimby in May and either side of his hat trick match Liam Cusack scored against Mullumbimby and Evans Heads.

Runaway Bay hooker Repoama Morris-Ponga had a day out on Sunday in Round Ten of the GCRL U20 competition scoring four tries as Runaway Bay defeated Mudgeeraba 56-24.
Repoama Morris-Ponga’s first try came about when he ran out of dummy half from close range to the right of the play the ball to crash over. His second and third tries came from Repoama Morris-Ponga backing up to score. In relation to his second try the ball was spun out to the right where centre Char Peters broke the line before cutting back inside to find Repoama Morris-Ponga who ran fifteen metres to score. Repoama Morris-Ponga backed up one of his forwards who got an offload away close to the line in the second half to cross.
Repoama Morris-Ponga’s fourth and final try was a bit different. Runaway Bay took a quick tap from a penalty around twelve metres out from the Mudgeeraba line, Repoama Morris-Ponga received the ball and looked to pass to his left but no-one was in the correct position, instead he took the line on, stepping off his left foot and breaking three tackles to score close to the left upright.
Repoama Morris-Ponga is a former student of powerhouse Auckland Rugby league school, Mount Albert Grammar School (MAGS) and played for the New Lynn Rugby League in Auckland in his junior rugby league days.

‘HE’S A FREAK: Peats’ praise for gun teammate
ROOKIE: Brisbane send out halves SOS
Queensland under-18s young gun Sam Walker has quit the Broncos to sign a $300,000 contract with the Roosters in one of the richest deals for a 16-year-old in Australian sport.
The Courier-Mail can reveal the Roosters have won the battle for the most sought-after playmaker in the country with star pivot Luke Keary a key figure in the poaching raid on one of Brisbane’s best talents.
The son of former Broncos halfback Ben Walker, Sam is such a prodigious talent he had interest from 12 NRL clubs and also fielded a cross-code offer from Rugby Australia.
But the Ipswich Grammar wonder boy has opted for the Roosters.

Walker informed the Roosters of his decision on Tuesday with the halfback sensation agreeing to a two-year deal worth at least $150,000-a-season as the Bondi glamour club prepares for life after Cooper Cronk.
All three Queensland NRL clubs - the Broncos, Cowboys and Titans - were keen on Walker but a recent meeting with NSW Origin aspirant Keary helped seal the deal for the Roosters.
Walker’s father, Ipswich Jets premiership coach Ben, on Tuesday confirmed the junior Maroons ace will leave the Broncos at season’s end.
“It’s very much been driven by Sam, he made his own decision,” Ben Walker said.
“There was no pressure from me, I’m really proud of the process he went through and he made a measured decision on where he wanted to go.
Walker is one of rugby league’s brightest young talents. Picture: Adam Head
“There were a number of factors in him choosing the Roosters.
“They are a very stable club with a stable coach. Trent Robinson has very similar beliefs to how Sam plays, which is very important for his development.
“He had a great chat with Luke Keary recently and is very excited by the squad they have there.
“The Roosters ticked all the boxes.”
Good judges believe Walker, who turns 17 this Sunday, will be an NRL superstar in the coming seasons. He fielded offers in excess of $200,000 a season and was classy in the Queensland under-18s’ 34-12 disposal of their NSW counterparts in the Origin I curtain raiser last Wednesday night.

Ben Walker said his son, a Roosters fan since his youngest days, is staying level-headed.
“You always have high hopes for your kids but Sam had a long way to go and a lot of work to do,” he said.
“I remember he had a Roosters poster on his wall.
“I only ever saw him lose his cool once and that was when the Rabbitohs beat the Roosters on the bell one night and he stormed off to bed and wouldn’t talk to anyone.
“So it’s ironic he is going to the Roosters now.”
Walker’s uncle Shane, who played 150 first-grade games with Brisbane and Souths, said the promising halfback has a huge future in the code.
The Roosters are preparing for life after Cooper Cronk. Picture: Joel Carrett
“People have compared him to Kalyn Ponga but he plays differently to Ponga, Sam is pretty unique in his style,” Walker said.
“He reads play really well, he has a high football IQ for a kid so young and it comes back to his environment, he’s been around football since his earliest years.
“Sam can identify weaknesses in the opposition very quickly, even his kicking style and the way he moves is different to any young halfback I’ve seen.
“There’s no reason that Sam can’t have a long career in the NRL, but he needs to put the hard work in and keep on improving.”
Good 38-4 win by PBC in their Langer Cup match against Wavell last night.
Thanks for the heads up mate

Playing right second rower, Braden Amundsen took the ball around ten metres out from the Mudgeeraba line, fending off the first attempted tackle before being corralled by three defenders. He then spun around 270 degrees to break free and score under the posts.
He has moved around a bit in recent seasons but Brent Barnes’s quality can not be denied and it as on show over the weekend for Helensvale.
In Round 8 of the U18 Division One competition, he started in the centres and scored a double against Currumbin and then scored four tries from right centre in the U20 competition also from the centre position against Mudgeeraba.
Brent Barnes first try was a long range effort when he received the ball early and get on the outside of his direct opponent and race 60 metres to score. His second try followed an outstanding chip and chase from Jayden Campbell who drew the fullback to send Brent Barnes on his way.
His third try was a set play from a scrum, Jayden Campbell received the ball from the back of the scrum and immediately kicked behind the Mudgeeraba defensive line from twenty metres out for Brent Branes to retrieve and put the ball down.
His fourth try and his only one in the second half was one built from strength, from around ten metres out from the try line, he shrugged off the first defender before splitting two defenders and dragging them across the line to score near the right corner flag.

Tremain Spry played the entire 80 minutes, running for 89 metres (eighteen post contact), broke two tackles, played the ball at an average of 4.37 seconds and made eight tackles at an 80% tackling efficiency.
Tremain’s try was an impressive one, playing five eight he received the ball on the right side of the field, dummied to the immediate Hunters to get through the initial line before popping a great short ball to Kalani Going who charged thirty metres down field before passing back inside to Tremain Spry to score.
Hooker Oskar Bryant signed a contract with the Titans after an outstanding season with the Andrew Johns Cup premiership winning U16 Northern Rivers Titans side.

The first involvement that Brock Priestley had in the game was also a moment to remember, Brock Priestley had come on after the Knights had scored their first try and on the subsequent kick return, Brock Priestley and Nicholas Hilton lined up the Knights forward returning the kick-off and hit him front on in an outstanding tackle.
Running with the ball in the match, Brock Priestley showcased some neat and subtle footwork prior to impacting the Newcastle defensive line and on more than one occasion looked to target the area behind the Knights play the ball either by stepping back towards the ruck or by running an inside shoulder route.
On each of the occasions that he used this tactic Brock Priestley made ground and was also in a position for a quick play the ball because by using his footwork and targeting sparely populated areas of the Knights defence he was not gang tackled and thus was able to generate the quick play the ball.
To cap off an outstanding 2018 season Brock Priestley was named in the Gold Coast Vikings U16 Training Squad of the 2019 U16 South East Queensland Challenge and as a result of his play in that competition Brock Priestley was named in the South East Queensland U16 train on squad.
