Vikings 13s and 14s play a trial match on Sunday not sure of times at Glennon Park, Nerang Roosters.
The Group One JRL competition has kicked off with a few Titans linked boys doing well early, Julian Torrens has scored a hat trick in both matches to date with backrower Tyhyres Williams crossing for five tries so far including 4 against Marist Brothers in the U14 competition, in the 15's Ben Liyou and Caleb Barker are dominating for Grafton. In the U13's wing Michael Stephen-Bolt with seven tries in two matches with ultra quick fullback Rowen Mansfiled crossing for four in the early going. Too early to discuss because he is so young but U12 front rower Ashton Randall to keep an eye on in the future already Rugby clubs all over him
NSW Country scored for teams in Titans catchment area:
U16:
Greater Northern Tigers 10 (B Fechner, J Allan tries; B Ellis goal) drew with Newcastle Rebels 10 (C Carr, C Muir tries; C Carr goal)

One young Gold Coast boy who will not be with us is Max Bryant but congratulations to him, he has picked up a Queensland Bulls cricket contract, not bad at all for a 17 year old, congratulations to the young batsman.
Great to see Titans linked youngsters Dorion Smith and Helensvales Adrian Armaro off to good starts in the U14 grading competition, both have crossed for six tries in three games grading games to date
.
A couple of Titans linked boys have been selected in a U15 invitational team to paly a match this weekend after the U13 and U14 Vikings trials. They include second rower Andre Semu and fullback/centre Jack Hamlit.

Also in Ipswich Keebra play Ipswich State High School who drew 14 all against PBC this afternoon in three games.

Talented centre Allan Lockwood has been selected in the 2018 Gold Coast Titans U20 Rookie squad
A great development in relation to junior rugby league on the Gold Coast is the introduction of a Tweed Heads Seagulls side in the U17 Division One competition which will be coached by Kevin Neighbour who is also coaching the Titans U20 rookie squad in 2018. Youngsters like Titans High Performance Academy member Jordan Tauali'i will be a beneficiary.

Mdrew can you elaborate a bit more on this under 20 rookie squad, who the players and who do they play
Lonegull they are essentially like the Titans High Performance Squad. They will likely play some trial matches but over the season the players will in the main play for either Burleigh, Tweed or the Western Mustangs.
In terms of the players a number of the boys that are still eligible for U20's from the 2017 NYC season are there and plenty of the MM boys such as Jaxson Paulo, Darius Farer etc.
As the off season goes on I will try to update.

Daniel Butturini was part of the U15 Titans squad that played against a Tigers selection recently. The PBC student is certainly a young player to keep an eye on in the future

Hi guys,
Did anyone attend the trials day they had? What were your thoughts.
Also mdrew, is there anyway you can give a status of the kids that made the squad. I know there is a few that are with the titans in some capacity, some that were, and some that haven't been yet.
Cheers

In relation to the Titans linked boys in the U16 Vikings squad that is a tough one to answer.* The Titans are currently talking to players about opportunities in their high performance unit so it depends on who accepts, if some don’t who then will get an opportunity etc.
Updates will come as soon as they are identified.

Titans fume over Roosters poach
The Titans are fuming at losing one of their best young front row prospects to the big spending Roosters.
Hailing from Benji Marshall’s old school, Keebra Park, Geordie Brand knocked back offers from three rival clubs to join the tri-colours.
At just 17, he will start next season in the Roosters lower grades but is one for the little black books.
Brand has played Australian under 15s, Australian Schoolboys and Queensland under 16 State of Origin in recent seasons and will add fire power to the Roosters pack for years to come.
https://wwos.nine.com.au/2017/10/31/07/11/cronulla-sharks-to-target-sydney-roosters-mitchell-pearce-the-mole
. It is not as if the Titans are not trying but they just cannot compete with the money. Some of the amounts are just incredible
I do not want to come across as a supporter who will only say positive things but the Titans junior development staff are working very hard but the amount other clubs are offering is unbelievable. You also cannot blame the young blokes either. I have been following the titans junior set up for a while now and even though it may not seem like it we have some exciting juniors such as Noah Gafa etc
Sad, but an opportunity arises for players such as David Butler, Daniel Shannon and Logan Cootes...

Some of those kids are getting some pretty horrible advice regarding support mechanisms for their futures and a lot of that advice is coming from their parents. At what point does a pay cheque over-ride after sport security? I hate reading that.
Some very very interesting names in the Western Mustangs U20 squad for the 2018 season.
As expected theTtitans High Performance Academy boys are in the 35 man squad such as Chris Chambers, Alex Dunneman, Blake Cullen, Luke Maiden, Jordan Crocker and James Robinson.* Also the exceptionally talented Errol Simpson is also in the squad.
There are also some exceptionally talented young New Zealand boys coming over for the 2018 season including star Napier Boys High School No. 8 Lolani Falevia and front rower Fasitau Simati.* Fellow New Zealander Hedi Moani-Kafoa is another recruit with a wonderful story in that he was born without a right hand but the former 2015 NZ High School Champion with Otahuha College, starred this season for the Hervey Ball Seagulls and is a 117kg front rower.
Another player to note is Manly 2017 SG Ball and Ron Massey Cup hooker Cody McNiece who captained the St Gregory’s College Campbelltown school boy side this year.* St Johns College Woodlawn powerhouse front rower Aiden Kennedy is also in the squad.
They are shaping as a very good side in 2018 especially their forward pack, which looks very big and powerful.
Talented young Keebra Park fullback Damon Dumas looks like he will be lining up with the Tweed Heads Seagulls Colts in 2018, a shrewd move as the talented youngster is equally at home at either fullback or in the halves and also has senior rugby league experience at hooker.
Congratulations to the Qld Indigenous U18 side that won the QPIIC tournament last weekend. Included in the side were Titans NYC stars Reihana Marsh and Moeaki Fotuika, Titans U18 Taine Tuaupiki and Gold Coast players Brodie Hannon, Damon Dumas Daniel Shannon and Walter Laurenstein
Good to see the Titans lock out both Vaikai brothers Carsil Vaikai and the wonderfully named Titan Vaikai. Both brothers have big futures in front of them.
A youngster that appears likely to be involved in the Burleigh Bears Colts side in 2018 is former Coonabaranan youngster Harley Wood. He made a great fist of the Gold Coast A Grade competition this season with Currumbin playing in fifteen matches and scoring seven primarily from the wing

Has either Tweed or Burleigh released their 20s squads? I see that Tweed have employed former Canberra Raiders recruitment officer and Junior Kiwis assistant coach Ezra Howe in a Development role at the club.
The Burleigh halves and hookers including Zae Wallace look to be class and Teeed will have the benefit of a number of Titans linked U28’s from last year and the squad looks like it has a lot a depth.

Are all the Titans contracted 20s players in the Tweed line up this year? lol Sorry for all the questions. Footy season is here :)
Have not seen the full squads mate just some names coming out. I do not believe that all Titans boys will link with Tweed but they will probably have more than Burleigh
New Western Mustangs New Zealand recruit Lolani Faleiva was recently named the best newcomer to the Napier Boys High School First XV Rugby side at their Annual Awards night.* Not a bad effort at all when you consider that Napier Boys High were ranked in the Top 10 of New Zealand’s Rugby Schools.

Woolgoolga five eight Emanuel Sutton had a solid 2017 as part of the Titans U14 development squad including representing Group Two at the NSW Rugby League Junior Championships. All the best to the youngster for the coming years.
Positive news that the Titans have secured talented young Grafton Ghosts second rower Ben Liyou to a two year deal, he will finish his schooling in Grafton before moving up to the Coast in 2019. Next season Ben Liyou will likely spend a fair bit of time playing for the Grafton Ghosts U18 Group Two side.
Recently Ben Liyou was awarded the Gold Coast Titans Sportsperson of the year award at a function at the Southport Yacht Club.

Any indication of what they might be mate?
A very heavy skills based focus in GC schools mate, obviously more money but integrating junior development with the NRL side is very much on the cards. Titans are also going to add more resources to the Toowoomba region as well. To be fair though the Toowoomba region is already a focus as can be seen by multiple Titans scholarship boys such as Cody McNeice being placed there to supplement the Titans development boys already there.

mdrew do you have any information on last years NYC players such as Brownbill, Lillis, Lenehan, Fai etc. wondering if the Titans have retained any of them and where they will be playing in the 2018 season. Maybe it will be the tale of the ones who got away because the talent scouts did not do their job. Under a new coach and with the direction of Brennan i am sure some of those mentioned above could become part of the local talent just waiting for an opportunity to show their full potential. Sometimes fringe players when viewed through the eyes of a new coach can excel and become much better players, just look at what Bellamy has done with some of his squad.
Only some mate. A few have followed Woolf to tweed such as Ethan Roberts and Rory Lillis. Zae Wallace is in Burleigh's QCup squad, Jake Sparey is heading to Redcliffe and Justin Fai will be at South's Logan. Not sure about Blake Lenehan, but talking to a family member a few months ago either Easts or Burleigh will be lucky enough to have his services for 2018.
Obviously AJ has a Titans contract and Api and Moeaki are training with the Titans NRL squad as well

Under a new coach and with the direction of Brennan i am sure some of those mentioned above could become part of the local talent just waiting for an opportunity to show their full potential. Sometimes fringe players when viewed through the eyes of a new coach can excel and become much better players, just look at what Bellamy has done with some of his squad.

Mate he represented Queensland U16's in rugby league when on a Titans contract and trained the last off season with the Titans NYC side
Thanks mdrew-he sounds like he has a future.

Only some mate. A few have followed Woolf to tweed such as Ethan Roberts and Rory Lillis. Zae Wallace is in Burleigh's QCup squad, Jake Sparey is heading to Redcliffe and Justin Fai will be at South's Logan. Not sure about Blake Lenehan, but talking to a family member a few months ago either Easts or Burleigh will be lucky enough to have his services for 2018.
Obviously AJ has a Titans contract and Api and Moeaki are training with the Titans NRL squad as well
Blake Lenehan needs to keep at it-I think he still might have an NRL future if he remains dedicated. If you were in a war you would want him by your side I reckon.

Lillis and Brownbill are doing full pre season with Tweed Heads Intrust Super Team.
Early on last season I had Brownbill down as a future NRL player for sure but when he started having silly looking hair his game seemed to also go a bit mug lair too.
I hope he trains the house down and is focussed as he’s a real talent.
Good story on Titans Scholarship player Alex Dunemann.

Titans linked youngster Tyrhys Willaims has been named in the New South Wales Murri U16 rugby league side for 2018
What town does he live in mdrew?
He is a Ballina boy mate, a powerful young centre or second rower first played for the Titans at the U13 level in 2015
What town does he live in mdrew?
Exciting youngster Tuvalli-Afoa Khan-Pereira and Tate Roberts both Titans linked are in the Queensland Murri U16 side. The impressive part is that Tuvalli will still be U15 eligible in 2018. His older brother Lofi also Titans linked is class as well.

A good showing Of Gold Coast Boys in those squads. Hopefully a few more find there way back to the Titans.
A good sprinkling of Titans boys in the squads
Warwick District youngster Sam Ogden is another young player to keep an eye on. The young utility who prefers 5/8 represented the Central Crows this season as well as playing for Collegians in the Warwick U16 competition scoring seven tries and kicking 26 goals and started his Grand Final at lock.

I hope he trains the house down and is focussed as he’s a real talent.
I tend to agree. He ran some beautiful lines especially off Ethan Roberts. He was the only 1 in that team that could runsuch lines. Ethan Roberts was the only 1 who could put guys into holes. That is my biggest concern with Brimson, his ability to put blokes into holes. He has a great individual game and kicking game. Ethan created great shape for the team especially during the first half of the season. For me Brownbill is a 2nd rower not a centre. Once he bulks up he will be a weapon on the edge.
A couple of Gold Coast youngster have been selected in the Cook Islands U18 2018 Oztag side they include Tahenga Tairea-Mareko, Jovahn Tearoti and Brendan Paikera. Ronan Kapi who starred for the Titans junior development squad previously and now attends TSS has been selected in the Mens U21 side
Tyrhys Williams is heading up to Brisbane as he is now part of the Broncos development program
Titans linked youngster Tyrhys Willaims has been named in the New South Wales Murri U16 rugby league side for 2018
Congratulations to former Titans Development Squad member 18 year old Max Bryant who is part of the Brisbane Heat Big Bash squad. he had a solid chance to make it in rugby league but it seems like he made the correct decision focussing on cricket. Best of luck to the former Cudgen Hornet
Some movement in the Gold Coast junior rugby league ranks including talented youngster Memphis Pakinga on the move from Nerang to the Coomera Cutters,
Tweed Heads Seagulls will be for the first time in 2018 play in the Gold Coast JRL U17 competition and the side is starting to come together with the likes of talented youngsters Matthew Kilburn, Jye Barton and talented young Titan Jordan Tauali'i in the ranks
A blast from the past. Below is the Titans side for their first ever U18 SG Ball match which occurred against the Cronulla Sharks in 2008. Jordna Rankin and Cody Walker are the two bigget names but Kurtis Lingwoodcock, Ricardo Pareta and Blake Leary are in the QCup. Tim James is Ryan's older brother and Matt Vaughin is Fatty's son.

Gold Coast Titans open to exploring long-awaited link with Keebra Park State High School
Connor O’Brien, @obrien_GCB, Gold Coast Bulletin
December 29, 2017 5:01pm
Subscriber only
“NOTHING is off the table.”
Those five words alone, spoken by Titans chief executive Graham Annesley, should fill frustrated Gold Coast NRL fans with hope.
That rugby league nursery Keebra Park State High School has fed the Coast’s best and brightest emerging juniors to rival NRL clubs has been a long-held gripe of Titans fans.
Keebra are the reigning national schoolboys champions. Among their star products are Benji Marshall, Jordan Kahu and Corey Norman.
The Southport-based school is currently affiliated with the Canterbury Bulldogs, having previously been tied to Wests Tigers.
But maybe, just maybe, that could change in the coming years if Annesley gets his way.
Under former coach Neil Henry and his successor Garth Brennan, the Titans have placed increased priority on Gold Coast talent.
“Nothing is off the table and if it is in our own backyard, we are as entitled as much as any other club – in fact we’re entitled more probably than any other club – to try to nurture that,” Annesley said when asked if an association with Keebra was on the radar.
“The one thing that Garth is very determined to do is to build relationships right through our own region.
“Whether that be with our feeder clubs which we have just signed on for another term, whether it be junior clubs, whether it is schools, Garth is determined to find the best local talent and try to nurture it and retain it.”
The club already boasts a number of Palm Beach Currumbin State High School graduates in its ranks including incumbent skipper Ryan James, while recruit Jai Arrow attended Keebra.
Arrow is one of six recruits for 2018 who hail from southeast Queensland or Northern Rivers.
It’s a ploy that has been well received by fans with a feeling there will be increased pride instilled in the Gold Coast jersey.
“It’s good for the community, it’s good for the club, it’s good for the club culture,” Annesley said.
“I don’t think you will ever have a team that runs out where your whole starting 17 is local juniors but it would be a good thing if we got to that.”

The situation at Keebra is an interesting one. One of the reasons (not the only one) that the Tigers did not renew was that the Wests Tigers were not able to contract the best Keebra boys, the Bulldogs are having the same issue. Taking into account their best players from this season, three are going to the Broncos (Fifita, Boyd and Seiuli) and one to the Roosters (Brand). Yes four are going to the Bulldogs including Seb Winters-Chang but the Broncos have had a history of cherry picking the best I.e. Jordan Kahu etc. PS the Titans have a number of Keebra boys on scholarships in the Open and lower grades.
I am not adverse at all to an agreement with Keebra but as Hail Sezer has said there will have to be a fair bit of give and take.
Until then and even after the Titans should continue to focus on Coombabah (where there are plenty of Titans boys) and PBC who have got a great U14 and U15 crop.
TSS is an interesting beast as the Titans have had a few boys there but TSS are very very good at keeping boys in rugby. The Broncos are increasing the use of GPS schools such as former Titans development squad member Tyryhs Williams heading to Ipswich Grammar School and the Cowboys have a few boys at Brisbane Grammar School including former Titans junior Dea Jarn Asi.
The Titans have an incredible record of identifying junior talent they really do but in the past we have not had the money to match the Roosters and Broncos, the Roosters in the last six months have snared four of the best GC juniors from us and the Broncos have a very heavy Northern NSW focus. Parramatta have also signed one or two such as Brent Barnes
Hopefully with the new owners and Brennan things will change, certainly seeing Jai Arrow, Jai Whitbread and Keegan Hipgrave in Titans colours gives cause for optimism for the future.
From my perspective the future with a couple of tweeks looks bright for the Titans junior development set up

Hey mate I think Brent Barnes was with Titans first then ended up at Broncos i think he has blown all his chances up here, also was thrown out of the u16 murrie side
Heard the same mate but did not realise about the U16 murri side

In addition to the Keebra Park discussion above, talented utility Damon Dumas will be playing for Tweed Heads Colts in 2018. The young former Sawtell Panther can play fullback, half, five eight and even hooker.

Unfortunatley the Broncos are pretty tight with St marys and harristown, having scouts at both Schools
I'd be targeting Assumption & Downlands Colleges as well.
Good call on Downlands mate, their rugby program is quite decent and just step below the GPS level.

Great to see former Melbourne Storm utility Matt Geyer coaching in the junior rugby league ranks of the Gold Coast once again in 2018. He will be taking the U17 Currumbin Eagles Div I side who will looking to back up their 2017 U16 Div I success, youngsters like Cole Geyer and Titans contracted star youngster Noah Gafa in the side.

Talented 17 year old Lewis Cooper and his older brother Austin, 20 have joined the Sawtell Panthers from South Grafton. The brothers who have both been part of Titans Development squads in the past immediately make Sawtell a more formidable side in the NSW Group Two competition.

Easts defeat Burleigh A Grade (U20 boys) 24-0
Fair effort (was 12-0 with about 10mins to go) by the U20s lads considering majority were in MM last year, with a few MM players playing in that Agrade trial as well - Zac Mccormack, Jayden Heta and Tyrone Tofoeano.
Also I think the last 15-20mins of the ISC trial is was majority u20s, with Huston Holloway starting in the backrow along Matt Robinson. Noticed Zae Wallace didnt play in any of the trials.
MDRew did you get out to watch our anyone else. i only managed to catch part of the Agrade and the ISC game.
Saw the MM and Colts as well, MM just too good, centre Braden Amunsden was good. The Colts was a good effort considering the number of boys playing A Grade, WA half Justin McCoy-Edwards and Ben Willetts look like they will be pushing for a sport. Agree with you Renegade a good effort by the 20's in the A Grade match.

Will the Burleigh MM be good enough to feature at finals time??
They will be close mate, I will be at the Tweed MM match next Saturday at Waterford against Souths Logan so I will have a bit better feel. Interestingly last night Souths Logan MM were beaten 26-20 by Ipswich.
Will the Burleigh MM be good enough to feature at finals time??
A couple of interesting boys lined up for Burleigh U20’s on Saturday afternoon including former Sydney Roosters SG Ball hooker/lock Trinity Cecil-Hamiora and Auckland Grammar School front row/second row Repoama Morris-Ponga. It is great to see youngster from different area’s looking for an opportunity with the Titans feeder clubs.
Another example is the three Napier Boys High students who have come across from New Zealand to push for a spot in the Western Mustangs U20 colts side this season
Good to see Keebra Park sending an U18 side to this weekends Coffs Harbour 9’s tournament. Keebra’s First match is on Saturday afternoon against Lower Clarence U18’s at 2.05pm. They also play Macksville and Sawtell with the finals on Saturday night if they qualify of course

The North Coast Dolphins will run out for the first time this year in Round Two of the Andrew Johns and Laurie Daley Cup competition after having a Round One bye. Extremely talented Titans contracted youngster Ben Liyou will be lining up for the North Coast Dolphins U18 side. Ben Liyou is certainly a talented youngster who is set to move up to the Coast once he finishes his schooling in Grafton to continue to rugby league career with the Titans.
The Titans are currently in discussions to formally align with the Northern Rivers Andrew Johns and Laurie Daley Cup sides for 2019 in what is a very positive development
It is great to see the Titans getting a few players from the North Coast region of New South Wales signed especially when you consider that in last year’s New South Wales Country Origin side eight had links to the Northern Rivers region. Centre/ second rower Ethan Foster, second rower Ben Liyou and outstanding young fullback/centre Rowan Mansfield who recently signed with the Titans and started in the centres for the Titans U15 when they defeated the Western Mustangs at Nerang recently are just a few of the talented youngsters from the region who are part of the Titans junior development program.
Credit where credit is due, well done Titans.
Great Article on Titans youngster Ben Liyou.

From a trivia perspective the Titans have signed the leading try scorers in the 2017 Group One Junior Rugby League U14, U15 and U16.5 competitions.
Fullback/centre Rowan Mansfield was the leading try scorer in the U14’s, centre/second row Ethan Foster in the U15’s and second row Ben Liyou in the U16.5 competition. All three are talented young players with big futures.
Congratulations to all players who have made the South Coast and Darling Downs U15 and U18 QSSRL sides, great job all. Plenty of Titans linked boys in the squads but regardless great effort to all. Thanks to the people on this forum who have given me a heads up to the squads I really appreciate it.
Well done to all the parents also for all of the running around they do for their kids and happily do so.
