    The scary thing about Thomas Weaver is that he is still U18 eligible in 2021.

    The Titans first trial against NRL opposition being against the Brisbane Bronco’s (a good win too) is a precursor to what the Titans NRL side will look like to coming seasons with a handful of young players on display.

    Tannah Boyd

    He started from the bench running for thirty seven metres, breaking a tackle and making six at a 100% tackling efficiency.

    Jaimen Jollife:

    He started from the bench running for 102 metres (thirty eight post contact), broke three tackles, played the ball at an average speed for 3.39 seconds and made twenty three tackles at a 95.83% tackling efficiency.

    Sam Stone:

    He started from the bench running for fifty six metres (twenty post contact), played the ball at an average speed of 3.45 seconds and made eleven tackles at a tackling efficiency of 91.67%.

    Erin Clark:

    Have to agree, great write up. Didn't know this kid existed so thanks for that. He sounds like a great prospect and I hope he continues to develop.

    Just chiming in to say the Weaver will be a full blooded nrl star in the next few years and we will be hard pressed to keep him if clubs come sniffing around BUT the titans have done a lot of great work on the northern rivers lately and parents are talking about the titans with admiration for what they do in the junior supports and grass roots. We aren’t a laughing stock anymore (or as much of one as we were in 2016 and previously).

    I think this kid can lead us to a premiership, reminds me very much of a young DCE. Well spoken and very calm under pressure

    Titans contracted Larry Siala was set to play school boy rugby league in Term Three for the U15 St Edmunds College (Ipswich) in the Association of Independent Schools (AIC) competition but with everything happening that will not be the case.

    Instead the AIC school boy rugby league competition will likely be run over one week being the first week of the September school holidays. Larry Siala was the stand out performer for St Edmunds in 2019 operating primarily at lock.

    The Ipswich based young man signed a three year contract with the Titans in early 2020 and has a lot more potential to unlock.

    Such is his potential various media outlets have already compared Larry Siala’s physical attributes and playing style to that of Payne Haas.

    Even Payne Haas himself has said publically that Larry Siala amazed him with his size, speed, power and skill when he attended a training session that Larry Siala was also attending.

    Mdrew you're doing an amazing job mate...Siala sounds like a huge prospect.

    I agree that Weaver has the potential to be a top 30 player straight out of high school in the same way that Deardon was. Hugely talented kid.

    Absolutely spot on mate, Thomas Weaver will be in the NRL sooner rather than later

    With Weaver, Sexton, TBoyd on our books I think we can happily let all of our halves go (Taylor/Roberts/Peachey) when off contract and totally believe those 3 can form our half/5-8/Bench Utility For over a decade. Throw in AJ at FB and you have a spine worthy of hanging in there for with our club.

    You can add in a couple of others Bods, Ryan Rivett who is a Burleigh junior and a Greg Alexander clone at 17 and Keano Kini whp last year was easily the best U15 player in New Zealand.

    What a game last night by Moeaki Fotuaika. In his 56 minutes on the field he ran for a team leading 154 metres (a team leading 54 post contact), made a line break, broke three tackles, played the ball at an average speed of 3.54 seconds and made 43 tackles at a 100% tackling efficiency.

    When the 2020 Langer Cup school boy competitions kicks off in Term Three one player from Keebra Park that I am intrigued to see how he goes is David Finai Telea. He is an intriguing player who can play multiple positions.

    Two players in the Titans JTS program have already developed an outstanding combination on the left side of the field and it would take a brave person to saw that the combination of half Thomas Weaver and left second rower Ryan Foran will not be doing the same in a Titans NRL jersey in seasons to come.

    Thomas Weaver and Ryan Foran worked together to score two tries in Round Three in the 2020 U18 Laurie Daley Cup against the Central Coast Roosters in the Northern Rivers Titans twenty six point victory.

    The first try was identical to many that the two combined for in 2019. Thomas Weaver took the ball to the left of the field, close to the Central Coast line and threw a great pass to Titans left second rower Ryan Foran who ran an outside shoulder route to crash over.

    In the second half Thomas Weaver ran the ball to the right of the field shapes to pass but instead stepped off his left foot to break the line and drew the fullback to send Ryan Foran away to score near the left corner.

    In the Round Five local derby against North Coast Thomas Weaver ran to the left of the field and put in a right footed stab kick which North Coast could not handle and Ryan Foran was on hand to score.

    In Round One of the 2019 U16 Andrew Johns Cup competition Thomas Weaver drifted to his right and threw a great short ball to Ryan Foran who charged thirty metres to score late in the first half.

    In Round Two the two combined for a try which was eerily similar to the Round One try against Newcastle, Thomas Weaver drifted to his left and put Ryan Foran on his way to the try line.

    Thomas Weaver and Ryan Foran also combined in the Round Three local derby against the North Coast Bulldogs when the two combined on the left in the second half for their third almost identical try combination in the opening three rounds.

    Round Four against the Central Coast saw the two combine for two tries. For Ryan Foran’s first try, Thomas Weaver took the ball quickly to his left about five metres out from the Central Coast line and passed to Ryan Foran who ran an outside shoulder route to score. In the second try, Thomas Weaver ran to his left from a scrum win and again with Ryan Foran running an outside shoulder route found him with a pass for Ryan Foran to run twenty metres to score.

    The two were dominant in the Northern Rivers Titans semi-final victory over Penrith, the first instance being when Ryan Foran charged down a Penrith kick and passed immediately to Thomas Weaver upon retrieving the ball for Thomas Weaver to sprint forty five metres to score.

    Thomas Weaver returned the favour later in the match when operating on the left of the field close to the Penrith line, Thomas Weaver took the ball right to the line before popping a good short ball to his left to Ryan Foran to crash over.

    Hey Mdrew, no doubt great players, but correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they play in a tier 2 competition. Don't you think we need to see them play a season in the city before making assumptions?
