Young giant signed by Titans

07.07.2006

Rugby League

THE Gold Coast Titans have signed Banora Point teenager Sam Ross to a two-year-deal after the young front-rower played a starring role at the Australian Schoolboys Championships in Perth last week.

The 14-year-old, who stands 187cm tall and weighs in at 105kg, has signed a youth development contract with the Titans who will make their debut in the NRL next year.

Ross and fellow Tweed teenagers Jayden Kelly and Ryan James were part of the NSW Combined Catholic Colleges team that downed Queensland Schoolboys 18-14 in the championship final.

"We had a really good team and we were undefeated throughout the tournament," Ross said.

The St Joseph?s student has only played rugby league for three years but has used his size, and size 15 feet, to stamp his mark on the field and attract the attention of talent scouts.

Ross will be part of the Titans academy squad and attend regular training camps with the elite players.

"It?s a great stepping stone for him and we?re happy to have him with us," Titans junior recruitment manager Tom Searle said.

Forget Tallis, if he keeps growing and gets to around 205cm and around 120kg... he could be a larger and more powerful player than Mason or Tallis.... and that is something of a real ace to have for the Titans..:D :D

But he is only 14, a lot can happen between now and the time when he could represent first grade...so we will all just have to wait and see what happens, but a great development and well done to the Titans for ensuring success not just in the near future, but for many years after that.. :)

That big already? And he's got some years of growing still to go! This guy will become a monster. Good to have him aboard.
