Hi mate, the ISC match is due to be live stamed.

In terms of players, Liam Hamspon ash been good for Tweed and Sean Garner and Corey Alexander for Burleigh


Does anyone know if the Burleigh vs Townsville ISC or 20s games will be live streamed (in-conjunction with the QSSRL U15s tournment). Both games are mouth watering top of the table clashes?

Interesting to see that Burleigh have promoted a number of 20s in to Agrade already, and I noticed Cam Brown has been named on the bench for them. From what Ive seen from both Burleighs ISC and 20s games so far has been very impressive, unfortunately the same cant be said of their MM side (who were very disappointing this year). Im equally intrigued to see if Tweed push any players up to 20s from MM (id assume Bronco contracted players cant play for Tweed??)

Mdrew, any real standouts this year so far from Burleigh and Tweed who arent contracted titans?

Burleigh young front rower/lock Larryon Tevita had an outstanding debut for Burleigh in the Gold Coast Rugby League U19 competition. He started from the interchange bench but came on and scored two tries as Burleigh defeated Beaudesert 22-6. Larryon Tevita is coming off a solid season for the Burleigh MM Cup side.

The New Zealand born youngster moved over to the Gold Coast in January of this year. The former Kelston Boys High School student was rewarded for a solid season in late 2017 when he was named at lock in the 2017 SAS College team of the year. The majority of players named in the 2017 SAS College team of the year are now in NRL aligned U20 squads so Larryon Tevita’s inclusion certainly highlights his ability on the field against quality opposition and opposition in the main at least a year older than him.

New Burleigh Bears Colts recruit Mikey Williams was named in the centres in the SAS College team of the year as well as the competitions leading try scorer with eight tries to his name.

In 2017 Larryon Tevita played for the Auckland based Glenora Rugby League club, playing a number of matches in the Open U17 competition and also one match in the SAS Fox Memorial Premier First Grade Competition, not bad at all for a 17 year old.

Larryon Tevita also represented Kelston Boys High at the 2017 NZ National Secondary Schools Premier Tournament starting at lock in all five of their matches which were against Southern Cross Campus twice including the Championship final, Wesley College, Rotorua Boys High School and St Thomas of Canterbury College.

Junior players can sign contracts at basically the U15 level where there is a signing fee etc. Not many sign an actual contract at that age , most are in development squads where there is not a contractual obligation. There are also plenty of squads where players are invited to attend looking to impress. Clear as mud!!!!

I use terms like linked and contracted to endeavour to reflect the correct association, I am not always correct so apologies when I get them wrong

Palm Beach Currumbin defeat Keebra Park in NRL Schoolboy Cup clash at Pizzey Park
MAY 16, 2018
PALM Beach Currumbin have declared themselves an NRL Schoolboy Cup force after upsetting reigning champions Keebra Park in a 26-22 heart-stopper at Pizzey Park.

PBC dominated the opening 30 minutes to enter the break 18-10 up at Pizzey Park with halfback Tom Dearden putting on a clinic.

But a resurgent Keebra, inspired by five-eighth Paul Karaitana’s try on the half-time buzzer, blitzed the early stages of the second half to steal the lead.

Keebra’s left edge were unstoppable at one point, scoring three tries in quick succession including two to winger Tom Vickery, and appeared to have the win stitched up when Bryson Vavosa crossed on the right flank, only for the last pass to be ruled forward.

That stroke of luck revived PBC, who charged downfield the following set and regained the lead courtesy of Ediq Ambrosyev touching down in the corner and five-eighth Toby Sexton converting from the sideline.

Sexton made that a four-point lead with a 53rd minute penalty goal.

Keebra had a chance to snatch victory in the final minute of the game but PBC fullback Glenn McGrady dashed those hopes when he cleaned up a last-ditch grubber kick.

To be fair I think they are starting to move in the right direction. I got the impression that they have a bigger budget next year. Jamie mentioned that they were in a position to sign a complete under 16 and under 18 team for next year, which is what the boys in the training squad were building towards.
