He has played six matches from the bench for the Mounties this season and started matches in the second row and centre as well.
At 178cm and 98kg the New Zealand born youngster who moved to Australia as a 15 year old is likely better suited to the back row in the long term.

Brisbane Broncos coach praises role Gold Coast rugby league nurseries play in conjunction with NRL clubs
https://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/
BRONCOS coach Wayne Bennett has praised the role that Gold Coast nurseries are playing in helping develop the region’s best rugby league talent.
Bennett was full of praise for his forwards after Sunday’s 34-0 drubbing of the Titans at Cbus Super Stadium given his team was missing several players to Origin and injury.
Among them was 18-year-old David Fifita, who made 94m and 22 tackles in just his second NRL game.
Fifita is one of several former Keebra Park students who have linked with the Broncos ahead of their NRL debuts, including Payne Haas, who made his debut earlier this year, and Jai Arrow — who started his career with the Broncos before returning to the Titans this year.
“The high schools do a great job,” Bennett said, noting the work of another famed Gold Coast nursery in Palm Beach Currumbin as he sat next to former student Darius Boyd in the press conference.
“There’s a Palm Beach Currumbin player here (Boyd), so they do a great job.
“But we’ve been there with those guys from an early age as well. Between the club and the school it’s a credit to them.
“But more importantly, it’s a credit to the young men they are.
“They’re 18-year-olds and 19-year-olds but they’re very balanced and don’t get ahead of themselves.
“It’s just a pity Payne’s not playing for us as well because he’d be there.”
A former Peter Sterling medallist, Fifita has been rated the best schoolboy player in the past 20 years by commentator Andrew Voss.
But Bennett doesn’t want the teen to play a star role.
“I like what David brings because at the moment, he’s not trying to be the star of the show, he knows he’s got an important role to play and that’s making sure he’s making his tackles and getting his carries and he’s not trying to do any more than that,” Bennett said.
“I’m pleased with that because I don’t want him to get in front of himself.
“He’s got a lot more to show us yet but that’s going to be a year or two before that comes to the forefront.”
While the Broncos have benefited most from the Gold Coast nursery in recent years, the tide may be turning.
Among the Titans’ best on a generally dark day for the club on Sunday was 18-year-old front-rower Moeaki Fotuaika, another former Keebra player.
Unwanted by NRL clubs on graduation, Fotuaika turned up to an open trial for the Titans’ under-20 squad last year and has since made every post a winner.
With Arrow and Jarrod Wallace on Origin duty, Fotuaika stood up against the Broncos, making 105m and 37 tackles in an effort Gold Coast captain Ryan James rated as the only bright note of the day.
“I think young Moe really stepped up and if there’s a positive to come out of (that game), it’s to know that an 18-year-old can stand up and do that,” James said.
“He was phenomenal.
“He took his starting position with both hands, went forward, tackled hard and did everything asked.”
Kalani Going was only on the field for 32 minutes in his Queensland Cup debut for Tweed Heads on the weekend but he certainly made the most of it running for 75.6 metres, 22 post contact, an offload and 20 tackles at a tackling efficiency of 90.9%.
Burleigh MM Cup player Ronan Kapi and his Queensland I Schools team mates made it two wins from two matches at the Australian Schools Rugby Championships defeating Combined States this afternoon 29-0 in a polished performance.
In his first Queensland Cup game Burleigh’s Dylan Phythian had a more than solid debut starting the Bears Round 17 match at halfback and scoring early on.
In total in his debut playing 71 minutes he ran for 46 metres, 10 post contact, making a tackle bust and making 16 tackles at a tackling efficiency of 88.9%.
Dylan Phythian also kicked for 116 metres and forced three drop outs in a solid debut in Maroon and Wh
The much maligned Tyrone Roberts-Davis continues to play well for Burleigh in the Queensland Cup maintaining his 100% try scoring strike rate.
In Round 17 on the weekend he played 62 minutes, running for 82 metres, 35 post contact, a line break and three tackle breaks and making three tackles at a 75% tackling efficiency.
Titans Kiah Cooper had a number of career bests for Tweed Heads in the Queensland Cup over the weekend against Wynnum Manly.
Playing the entire 80 metres, he had career bests in tackle breaks (7), running metres (144) and post contact metres (48).
In just his second Queensland Cup match 19 year old Titans Rookie Squad member Kai O’Donnell continues to prove that he belongs.
Playing 33 minutes the second rower ran for 63 metres, 21 post contact in the process of making a line break and three tackle breaks in addition to scoring his first try at this level.
Defensively Kai O’Donnell has been even more impressive. In Round 17 he made 15 tackles with no missed tackles to maintain his 100% tackling efficiency through his opening two matches. He has now made an impressive 32 tackles with no misses to date.
As was noted in the game thread Moeaki Fotuaika was the stand out for the Titans in their match in Round 17 on the weekend against the Broncos. While he certainly was it is his exponential development since his debut eight rounds ago that is the story for me.
In Round 17 against the Broncos he played a career high 61 minutes running for 104 metres, 44 of those post contact (career high) and also made a career high 41 tackles at a tackling efficiency of 95.35%. He also had an offload and tackle break to cap an outstanding match.
In his eight matches this season, Moeaki Fotuaika has run for 587 metres at an average of 73.4 metres with 39% of those metres being made post contact and seven tackle breaks.
Defensively he has made 138 tackles at an absolutely outstanding tackling efficiency of 94.3%, the best for NRL front rowers this season.
All of the focus has been on the Broncos young forwards and to a degree Moeaki Fotuaika has flown under the radar as a result, but that will not last too much longer if he continues to play like he has this season, and he is just 18!
Supporters understandably argue team selections but the selection in Round Nine of Moeaki Fotuaika for his NRL debut against the Canberra Raiders will go down as one of the best that Gareth Brennan will ever make.
Whitbread out of NSW U20 side.
Dylan Phythian has been named at 5/6 for his second Queensland Cup match for Burleigh in Round 18 against Redcliffe. The match will be telecast on channel nine on Saturday afternoon.
In his first Queensland Cup game Burleigh’s Dylan Phythian had a more than solid debut starting the Bears Round 17 match at halfback and scoring early on.
In total in his debut playing 71 minutes he ran for 46 metres, 10 post contact, making a tackle bust and making 16 tackles at a tackling efficiency of 88.9%.

Outstanding Grafton Ghosts youngster Ashdon Randall could not be stopped once again in Round 11 last weekend scoring two tries and kicking three goals in the Group One U14 competition as the Ghosts overcame Clarence Coast 22-20.
Good article about Titans contracted Ediq Ambrosyev prior to his appearance with the Queensland U16 side this Sunday.
https://www.qrl.com.au/news/20182/07/11/ready-to-gives-the-blues-a-serb/
In his first U15 Group One match talented Kyogle youngster Ziah Piggott scored a double as his side went down 26-16 to South Grafton in Round 11 last weekend.
He also scored in the U14 match earlier in the day and in the U14 competition has now scored 16 tries from 10 matches this season.
Kyogle second rower Jack Kuhnell scored his 10th try in just 8 games for the Turkeys in their U15 Group One loss 26-16 to South Grafton last weekend in Round 11. He has made every post a winner since moving down from the Sunshine Coast.
The former Tullawong student started the 2018 year in the Sunshine Coast Junior Rugby League U15 competition playing for Caboolture. He played two games for them including scoring an impressive four tries in Round One against Stanley River. On May 9 of this year he received a clearance to move to the Group One competition, playing for the Kyogle Turkeys.
In his first match for Kyogle, Jack Kuhnell celebrated his debut by scoring against Clarence Coast. In his next three matches he scored doubles which came against Lismore Marist Brothers, Ballina when he was up against Titans contracted Rowan Mansfield and against Casino RSM.
In Round Eight Jack Kuhnell scored once again against Ballina. Immediately after that match, Jack Kuhnell backed up to play in the U16.5 clash, his first in that age group since his move south. Round Nine saw Jack Kuhnell cross the line this time in a 16 – 10 win over Clarence Coast.
Jack Kuhnell has had some Queensland representative success prior to his move to Northern New South Wales, including representing Sunshine Coast in the U15 QSSRL Championships and in 2017 also represented the Sunshine Coast at the U14 level including scoring a try and kicking a conversion on Day One of the U14 Championships.
Incredibly talented Grayson Reimer was able to score in his U14 Group One debut last weekend as his Grafton Ghosts side overcame Clarence Coast 22-20.
The former NSW U12 representative has been tearing up the U13 competition scoring a staggering 37 tries from just ten matches including scoring five tries in a match on four separate occasions.
Big strong young forward Ezekiel Stephenson-Bolt had a big match in Round 11 of the Group One U14 competition over the weekend scoring four tries and converting one as his Lismore Marist Brothers side edged Casino RSM 38-32.
The powerful young man has now played 11 U14 Group One matches scoring 16 tries and kicking eight goals for a points tally of 82.
Electric Casino RSM half back Tyrelle Roberts continued to display his outstanding goal kicking skills when he kicked five from five in Round 11 of the Group One U16.5 competition last weekend as his side defeated Lismore Marist Brothers 30-18.
Even though the match was the first in the U16.5 competition that he has not scored in, Tyrelle Roberts was still a more than significant contributor to the Casino RSM victory.
On the season through nine matches he has now scored 106 points from 10 tries and 33 goals at an accuracy nearing 90%.
Titans linked second rower Kuyan Roberts-Laurie was on the winning side in his fifth NRRRL First Grade match. The 17 year old lined up for Ballina as they defeated Cudgen 26-14 in Round 13 last weekend.
For the second week in a row Titans contracted Ethan Foster scored a try and kicked four goals (four from four) for Clarence Coast as they edged Ballina 20-18 in Round 11 of the Group One U16.5 competition last weekend.
Talented 18 year old half back Tahne Robinson scored a try and kicked five for five in the NRRRL First Grade competition in Round 13 as the Tweed Coast Raiders defeated Murwillumbah 26-8 on the weekend.
Tahne Robinson who is still U18 eligible has now scored 120 points from 12 NRRRL Frist Grade matches from 11 tries and 33 goals to be equal second on the competitions points scoring list.
Burleigh MM player Ronan Kapi and his Qld I team mates went down to NSW II this afternoon 34-31 to a last minute try and will now play-off for third place on Saturday in the Australian Schools Rugby Championships.
After playing in the U18 match earlier in the day outstanding Tweed Coast Raider Oscar Clarke played his first NRRRL Reserve Grade match as the Raiders went down to Murwillumbah 26-4.
Titans Rookie Squad member Curtis Dansey-Smaller has been named on the wing for Tweed Heads for his fourth GCRL First Grade game when the Seagulls take on Currumbin in Round 12 on Sunday.
Jack Peacock has been named on the bench for Tweed Heads and Tony Matautia in the centres.
The Burleigh Bears Gold Coast Rugby League First Grade side for the Round 12 Sunday clash against Ormeau is once again full of Titans Rookie Squad members gaining invaluable experience playing against men.
Jaxson Paulo will start at fullback, Mikey Williams on the wing, Taine Tuaupiki at five eight. There will also be an all Titans backrow with Api Noema-Matenga, Darius Farmer and Lochlyn Sheldon there.
In addition to the six Titans Rookie Squad who will start two more being Tyler Szepanowski and Allan Lockwood will start from the interchange bench.
In the U18 clash won by Tweed Coast 40-6 Oscar Clarke scored his 10th try from just eight games.
After playing in the U18 match earlier in the day outstanding Tweed Coast Raider Oscar Clarke played his first NRRRL Reserve Grade match as the Raiders went down to Murwillumbah 26-4.

Titan David Butler started from the bench as Queensland defeated NSW CCC 12-10 this afternoon in the U18 ASSRL Championships
18 year old Titans linked Alex Dunneman played his second Toowoomba Rugby League first grade match in Round 15 last weekend for Southern Suburbs starting at fullback as they were defeated by Highfields and Districts 66-18.
Alex Dunneman kicked two conversions from as many attempts including converting the debut try for fellow Titans linked U18 Connor Williams in the 35th minute of the first half. He now has kicked three from three is his two first grade matches to date. I note that he is not the designated goal kicker for the talented Southern Suburbs U18 side this season.
Alex Dunneman had played in the U18 match earlier in the day.
17 year old Titans linked second rower Connor Williams made his Toowoomba Rugby League First Grade debut last weekend in Round 15 for Southern Suburbs celebrating the occasion with a 35th minute first half try after starting the match on the bench.
Unfortunately Southern Suburbs were defeated by Highfields and Districts 66-18.
Connor Williams had played in the U18 match earlier in the day.
In his third Queensland Cup match Kai O’Donnell was good off the bench for Burleigh against Redcliffe running for a career high 84 metres, 39 post contact making four tackle breaks along the way. Kai O’Donnell also made 15 tackles.
Through his opening three Queensland Cup matches Kai O’Donnell as averging 76.5 running metres, 35 of those post contact and 16.5 tackles at an outstanding tackling efficiency of 96%
Talented young 19 year old Titans Rookie Squad member Ben Thomas played his third GCRL First grade match in Round 12 on the weekend when he started from the bench for Tweed Heads as they overcame Currumbin 26-16.
Outstanding centre prospect Mikey Williams scored an impressive double in Round 12 of the GCRL First Grade competition on the weekend as Burleigh defeated Ormeau 32-22. He has now scored five tries from just 6 First Grade matches. A Queensland Cup call up for the powerful New Zealand born youngster cannot be too far away.
Titans Rookie Squad member Jaxson Paulo scored his second try from five GCRL First Grade matches when he started at fullback and scored for Tweed Heads as they defeated Ormeau 32-22.
The rangy outside back who trained with the Titans NRL squad for a part of the off-season will be in line for a Queensland Cup call up if injuries or form impacts on Burleigh’s outside backs anytime in the remainder of the season.
People may argue whether AJ Brimson passed enough in the NRL Round 18 match against the Roosters but the other parts to his game were outstanding. In addition to making 21 tackles, some of them absolutely outstanding, AJ Brismon was also credited with his first NRL line break, had a career high 115 running metres, 39 post contact (equal career high).
For the second week in a row 18 year old Moeaki Fotuaika was easily the Titans best in the NRL match against the Roosters achieving a number of career highs, including running metres (117), post contact metres (46) and tackles (44) all in a very impressive 58 minutes. He also was credited with a line break, tackle break and an offload and continues to be a shining light in a tough season.
Titans linked Brody Jones scored his 7th try in ten games in Round 14 of the U18 NRRRL competition last weekend for Lusmore Marist Brothers as they overcame Casino RSM 34-8.

Darius farmer named on the bench for isc again this weekend
Will of the wisp Beaudesert half Shallin Fuller scored a hat trick in Round 12 over the weekend but unfortunately the Kingfishers went down 44-18 to Mudgeeraba. He then backed up to play in the Doug Lipp Cup match off the bench later in the day.
Utility Oliver Singh who has been part of the Titans Junior Development System in the past made his U19 GCRL debut last weekend for Currumbin coming off the bench in their 30-12 win over Helensvale and scoring a try and kicking two goals.

mdrew I have a request-can you update me on how Jordan Taualli (spelling would be wrong for sure) is coming along this year?
In just his third U19 match former Titans Development Squad hooker Matt Cannings scored his first try in that grade for Runaway Bay as they went down 22-16 to Bilambil.
In addition to his three U19 matches, Matt Cannings has played in eight U17 Division One matches this season.
Jordan Tauali'I has been doing well for the Tweed Heads Seagulls U17 Div One side starting 7 matches in the front row scoring in Round One against Bilambil and in the latest round being Round 8 in their 22-10 win over Mudgeeraba.
Has been coming off the bench for the PBC Open rugby league side and was very good in the most recent Langer Cup match against Marsden at Waterford.
At the start of the season started three matches in the front row in the Laurie Daley Cup for Northern Rivers and in Round Two had a huge running battle with Lewis Cooper from the North Coast with some monster collisions.
Seems a lot more mobile this year mate and as a consequence is hitting the line harder than ever with increased stamina.

^^^ mdrew da man. Thanks very much.
Very interesting to see Rhian Stowers come off the bench for Ormeau in their 28 all draw against Burleigh in Round 12 of the GCRL U19 competition last weekend.
The weekend prior he was starring for Queensland I in the Australian Schools Rugby Championships and has been a stand out for the Bond University Colts I side playing at half back where he played for Queensland Schools I side as well.
I feared that he had been lost to rugby league but with just his second U19 appearance last weekend where he also kicked a goal maybe not for the talented former Titans Rookie Squad member.
Titans contracted Kaleb Ngamanu has been named at outside centre (No. 13) in the TSS U15A side for Round One of the GPS rugby competition against Churchie this weekend on the Gold Coast.
In his debut Queensland Cup match against Redcliffe Darius Farmer played 19 minutes running for 14 metres, 6 post contact and made eleven tackles at a tackling efficiency of 84.62%.

Future NRL player, oozes class and has really progressed this year, Mdrew would I be right to say he will be a chance to do a full preseason next year
Absolutely mate it would not surprise to see him get some NRL time next year either.

Titan Kiah Cooper played 70 minutes on the weekend for Tweed Heads in their loss to Souths Logan in the Queensland Cup after starting on the right wing. In the match he ran for 66 metres, 27 post contact, had 4 tackle breaks and made two tackles
Impressive Canberra Raiders import Kalani Going made a positive impact in his first Queensland Cup start and his second match in total last weekend against Souths Logan. Playing the entire 80 minutes the second rower ran for 109 metres, with an impressive 50 of those post contact. He also made six tackle breaks and had an offload. Defensively he made 30 tackles at a tackling efficiency of 88.24%
If his performances were not so impressive noting 18 year old Tahne Robinson’s continuing form would become boring.
He was at it again last weekend in Round 14 of the NRRRL First Grade competition scoring a double and kicking six from eight for the Tweed Coast Raiders as they overcame Byron Bay 44-4.
Through 13 NRRRL First Grade games to date this season Tahne Robinson has scored 13 tries and kicked 44 goals for 140 points to be second on the NRRRL First Grade points scoring list.
It is scary to think that he is performing so well against men even though he is still eligible for the U18 competition and this is aready his second season playing first grade

Phillip Sami for me had a solid Round 18 NRL match against the Roosters last weekend including running for a career best 68 post contact metres which accounted for an impressive 46.26% of his 147 total running metres.
It was the 14th occasion in 16 NRL matches this season and 18th of 20 career NRL matches that he has run for in excess of 100 metres in a match, with his career best mark coming in Round Four this season when he ran for 192 metres against the Brisbane Broncos and his best since Round 15 against Canterbury when he ran for 180 metres
Titans linked 17 year old second rower Kuyan Roberts-Laurie scored his 6th U18 NRRRL try from ten matches scoring for Ballina as they defeated Kyogle 46-0 in Round 14 last weekend.
