    All good mate, this time of year is when all of the junior development work is done, for example the outstanding TEDS program is in full swing, the MM Cup and Colts squads are just back into training and will the games done and dusted I get a chance to rewatch a lot of the junior games I have to analyse the next batch of Titans.

    You are right the tide has really turned and the Titans are really flying from a junior development perspective and are really taking back the Coast with a number of boys choosing the Titans ahead of Bronco's offers.

    Where would we be without Mdrew and his info on the juniors love getting the write ups and following these players progression, and it’s even better when Mdrew is so positive on the new junior system that’s been put in place

    "There's no rest for the wicked" as they say. I was having a discussion with my wife, one of those rare occasions, and I realised that I had nothing to gripe about ... then she reminded me, wonderful woman that she is, "there is always the 'Ponies" ... and life all fell back into order

    Talented young hooker Blake Mozer is from the Runaway Bay Seagulls junior rugby league club on the Gold Coast and currently part of the Titans TEDS Program.

    Blake Mozer currently attends Keebra Park State High School and is part of the Rugby League Excellence Program there and at their recent Awards night was named the Year 9 Most Valuable Player and also named at hooker in the Keebra Park 2018 Team of the Year, which is no mean feat at all.

    From a representative perspective, this season, Blake Mozer played hooker for the South East Queensland Green U14 side at the Queensland Age Championships.

    This season for Runaway Bay, Blake Mozer played across two age groups being his “normal’ age group in the U14 Division One competition, playing six matches and in the U15 Division One competition where he played in eight matches including starting all four of Runaway Bay’s finals matches from the bench and in the Grand Final kicked a conversion as the Seagulls went down 38 – 20 against Ormeau.

    In his first U14 Division One match of the season, Blake Mozer scored his sole U14 try of the season against Mudgeeraba and in the U15 Division One competition, he scored his sole try in eight matches against Currumbin.

    Blake Mozer played the 2017 GCJRL season with the Runaway Bay Seagulls in the U13 Division One competition playing a total of thirteen matches all at hooker and in the process scored ten tries and also converted one of his tries in a Round Two clash against Burleigh Maroon. In the match noted already being against Burleigh Maroon, Blake Mozer in fact scored a hat trick to cap off a great match. Blake Mozer also scored a double in an early season clash against Jimboomba and late in the year scored a double against Nerang. Blake Mozer also scored against Nerang in a semi-final clash.

    For Keebra Park State High School in 2017 Blake Mozer was part of the Renouf Cup squad that backed up their 2016 success with another dominant 2017 Renouf Cup competition defeating Coombabah State High School 20 – 18 in the final. Blake Mozer was named Player of the Match primarily for his big defensive effort.

    In the 2016 U12 Division One grand final Blake Mozer started at hooker for Runaway Bay and in fact as their sole try scorer in their 10 – 6 loss to Helensvale in the 2016 Grand Final. Over the course of the 2016 season, Blake Mozer was Runaway Bay’s top scorer and finished third overall in the competition in that category. He crossed for ten tries and also kicked three goals for a total point’s tally of 46. Blake Mozer scored a hat trick against Southport and also a double against Currumbin. In addition he also played one match up at the U13 Division One level during the season.

    From Keebra Park Blake Mozer was selected at hooker in the 2016 U12 South Coast side for the Queensland U12 championships which were held on the Gold Coast in July where South Coast finished third and from there was selected in the Queensland U12 side, also at hooker along with fellow Keebra student front rower Xavier Collins.

    Unfortunately for Blake Mozer he was only able to play a couple of matches for South Coast before suffering a championship ending dislocation injury on Day Three but still impressed enough to make the Queensland side from his limited opportunities. Blake Mozer was also part of Keebra Park’s successful Renouf Cup side in 2016, no small feat as he was playing against boys a year older than himself.
