looks like there are some good options shaping up for 2014..
I'm guessing Schwass at 7, Hudson and Schwass (maybe) in the centres, Hughes at fullback and potentially that new signing from aus schoolboys at hooker?
Am I learning? haha

Lol - the more discussion on our juniors the better. Next years NYC will be interesting, even though we have lost some, we do have some decent boys from MM moving up, especially in the back row. We should have an amazing CC squad, absolutely amazing
Can a mod please close and delete this waste of time thread, I am embarrassed I started it, apologies to all
Chill out mate, we all enjoy this thread, no need for it to go :)
Besides, when we have a new coach we're still gonna need someone to inform us on our juniors ;)
Multiple ex titans scored tries in NYC this weekend, including Dallas Wells, Jake Goodsell (17 for the season I think), Alex Grant etc etc. Our NYC, after a solid run were disappointing and like 1st grade are done for the year. Sigh
We have signed Jayden Connors from Glenn Innes, a young fullback who ahs represented NSW Country. Good Luck to the young lad in the NYC next year
Thanks mdrew, keep the updates rolling in
Zac Leonard a winger from North Tamworth looks like he has signed for NYC next year too. Represented NSW Country U18;s, in hte same side as Jayden Connors against Qld and toured NZ with them.
Do not know anything about him, but a good story in his local paper, we seem to have a solid presence in Group 19, last year we signed Mitch Denning a centre who is coming back from injury through Tweed Colts.
I love this thread ... more quality news here than the entire Titans collective of media ... great stuff mdrew
We may have landed a real gem in Jayden Connors, he has recently progressed to 1st grade for Tingha in Group 19, scoring a host of tries in his first four games, he is also a good goal kicker. In relation to Zac Leonard, he is still eligible for U18's next year, so it is unsure whether he will be staying in Group 19 next year or moving up to the Coast. He represented NSW Country in U16;s last year, and now U18's this year, no mean feat. Plays his club football in the centre's.
Good to see both PBC and Keebra making the GIO Schoolboys cup QLD finals. A few Titans in each, but more from PBC obviously
Anyone care to have a guess about how the NYC side below would go against our current side, let alone how they would be going in the current comp? The key thing linking them all is that we either had them under contract or as part of a junior development squad.
1. Neme McDonald (Roosters)
2. Jack Goodsell (Roosters)
3. Brenden Elliot (Roosters)
4. Marion Seve (Tigers)
5. Connor Carey (Cowboys)
6. Alex Grant (Cowboys)
7. Moses Mbye (Bulldogs)
8. Lloyd Perritt (Bulldogs)
9. Jayden Burrell (Bronco's)
10. Brandon Tago (Roosters)
11. James Dunley (Panthers)
12. Joe Offenguae (Bronco's)
13. Jack Creighton (Bulldogs)
14. Dallas Wells (Sharks)
15. Andrew Vella (Tigers)
16, Tuala Togisiti (Roosters)
17. Sam Short (Manly)
The team above is why I get seriously angry about the terrible state of our juniors. Remember this is the lot who sent Luke Keary away because he was not good enough for our NYC side two years ago.
mdrew I really enjoy reading this thread about your Juniors. I support the Storm but like reading about up and coming players of GC as a second team. So I thought I would pass on any signings I find.
You have signed Deacon Fletcher who played for Redcliffe MM Cup side that won the competition and is now playing Colts. He was also halfback for QLD u18 schoolboys earlier this year. He signed for two years.
Thanks Jores, he is a class act the Bridie boy. Thought was a little unlucky not to the Aust schoolboys half, he was man of the match in a couple of the championship games. We will have a bit of competition in the half's in the NYC squad next year. Your information is greatly appreciated by all
Welcome jores!
mdrew, Will Christian Hazard play NYC?
I would suggest so, do not think he is ready for QCup just yet
A good story for the future of the Titans is the amazing amount of potential we have at halfback for NYC next year. Kane Elgey is eligible and playing very well at present. Christian Hazard is extremely talented and Daniel Schwass was the junior player of the year. Then you can add in Deacon Fletcher that Jores mentioned earlier, he is a real talent with a very good kicking game and I have not even mentioned Sam Grant. Interesting to see if any are tried in different positions, maybe Kane at fullback and Sam at hooker? Well done Titans, fingers crossed that they all get an opportunity
Bad luck to PBC who were knocked out of the GIO schoolboys cup in the Qld semi finals. St Johns College Woodlawn also had a tough loss the Hills Sports High in a NSW schoolboys comp. They had a try disallowed in the last minute, sending the game into overtime, and subsequently losing. Anthony Coleman, a talented young backrower, contracted to us was the best player on the field, watch for him next year in NYC. A few other Titans contracted players were also involved including the Elliott brothers, Max and Sam. Some real talent in Woodlawn side, including half Jacob Follent, hooker Hugh Pratt, backrower Kyle Kennedy.
Anthony is a class act, very good defensively, will end up in the backrow, interesting selection at centre, good luck to him, I honestly think that he is a real chance to play 1st grade one day
Lol we are -232 in for and against in NYC, with a disgraceful 722 poinst scored against us. Never fear the same side will trundle out and get smashed again next week, no wonder we can not get any of the youngsters to commit, they realise their careers will end very quickly if they stay with the Titans
Good win for the Burleigh Colts side against Norths. Daniel Schwass with a try, pity Kane Elgey is playing so well, Daniel may have been blooded in NYC this year.
Certainly interesting times at half in NYC, Deacon Fletcher (Redcliffe) is an absolute class act, and will be difficult to keep out of the side. If you have seen the young half from St George, Hastings, you have seen a similar style of player as Deacon Fletcher. Hazard is quick, very quick, Danial Schwass more of an organiser. The key is Kane Elgey he has been our best over the last couple of weeks. I think that he would be great at fullback, with Hughes moving to centre. All in all, and great problem to have, IF we can develop them and lets face it we are not developing our youngsters with the current set up. Give me a go Lol. Jayden Connors may need to slot in on the wing until he gets a little stronger, but with a roving commission he can still make an impact.
How long before Matt Russell gets sick of it and heads off?
Good to see common sense prevail in relation to the upcoming CC and MM trials. A number of players are not required to trial, they are noted below. A number are linked to the Titans. A couple more I think are but can not confirm. Surprised a few more were not excused from trialing, but I guess this gives as many boys as possible a chance.
U16 – Emere Pere, Liam Clark, Baylee Gerrard, Jack Peacock, Apiata Noema, Sean Garner, Steve Dresler, Duncan Harding, Brent Woolf, Ethan Paikea, Vito Sula-Siosiao, Liam Whitbread.
Titans linked U16's - Emery Pere (backrow), Jack Peacock (front row), Apiata Noema (centre), Sean Garner (second row), Steve Dressler (front row), Duncan Harding (lock), Ethan Paikea (front row)
U18 – Ethan Roberts, Keegan Hipgrave, Jesse Savage, Sam Elliot, Nathan Prostrama, Keanu Dawson, Braydon McMahon, Brett Straton, Max Elliot, Shane Wright, Dylan Pelo, Daymeric Pelo, Kyle Kalkhoven, Jennan Parrish, Sam Swift.
Titans linked U18's - Sam Elliot (backrow), Keanu Dawson (backrow), Brayden McMahon (5/8), Brett Stratton (centre), Max Elliot (second row), Dylan Pelo (wing), Daymeric Pelo (front row), Kyle Kalkhoven (front row), Jennan Parrish (hooker), Sam Swift (backrow)
I do not think that either Jennan Parrish or Sam Swift will line up in MM, I expect/hope that they both start in NYC.
Anyone looking to watch a top class game of junior Rugby League should get to Runaway Bay to watch the under 15 Grand Final on Friday night @ 6pm where the highlighted players are all playing for the Burleigh Bears & the Mighty Mudgee Redbacks , these 2 clubs are arch rivals & have played in 4 of the past 5 deciders,the match will be a ripper as it always is :fight:,,,,,,,,,, i am biased because my son plays for the Redbacks :fist:
Mudgee Redbacks win it in a nail biter in extra time 25-24 :fist:
Congratulations to your boy Titan Pete
Thanks mate :thumbsup:
Hope u got to see the match mate it was the best junior game I've ever witnessed even if the ref tried to sway the result, if u missed it Duncan Harding played a blinder & picking up Man of the Match , Apiata (API) got u15 player of the year he is a great talent..
Saw most of the game, yes it was a very high standard. Apiata is a great talent. Well done to all of the boys in all grades. That game and others shows the talent and dedication of the boys and the coaches and parents
