The Gold Coast Titans' presence in South East Queensland has become more evident, with Marsden State High student Chris Sandow selected in the club?s first elite development squad.
While the Titans have focused thus far on talent from the south coast of Queensland and the northern rivers of New South Wales, interest in Sandow explores the corridor to Brisbane.
Player of the Carnival at the 2005 Queensland Open Schoolboys Championship, Sandow also played with premiers Wests Centenary in the Under 16A club competition.
He is a former Queensland Academy of Sport representative and also figured at this year?s Australian Schoolboy titles at Wagga Wagga.
The former Cherbourg Hornets junior can play numerous positions and is an accomplished goal-kicker.
Other Queensland-based players selected in the Titans elite development squad are Luke Krauss, Travis Drought, Ryan Simpkins, Kevin Pease and Brodie Williams.
Simpkins is from the Tugun club, while Krauss and Drought play for Currumbin-Tugun.
Pease is of the Burleigh club, having led the Bears to the ARL Foundation Shield in 2004. Meanwhile, Williams is playing across the border with Tweed Seagulls, but is a former QRL Southern Division representative.
The elite development squad will be overseen by Scott Sattler, a four-season veteran with former NRL entity the Gold Coast Chargers.
