Ormeau Shearers rugby league player Zane Prophet started at No. 6 for the Bond University Colts II side this morning scoring for Bond as they went down 27-17 to Wests.

He then was on the bench for the Bond Colts I side who also went down this afternoon to Wests

It was a difficult night for the Titans last night but one young player who stood up was Gold Coast (South Tweed JRL) junior Jai Whitbread.

In just 28 minutes he ran for 97 metres, 38 post contact and 20 tackles at a more than impressive 96% tackling efficiency.

Titans contracted New Zealand youngster Keano Kini started in the halves today (this morning Australian time) for Marist Saints in their Round 12 Auckland Rugby League U16 Open match and was on song with the boots foe the Saints as they defeated the Pakuranga Kingz 22-8.

He’s been playing pretty well once he gets on. It’s been great watching him.

Another player that Titans fans should keep an eye on his New Zealand half Keano Kini who is currently in Australia with his rep side and played a Keebra Park election a couple of days ago.

He is an exceptional talent.

Did I read somewhere that jesse Arthurs has moved on?

Should get released soon based on that!

Derby day today with Tweed taking on Burleigh in both Colts and Queensland Cup should be exciting matches with plenty of future Titans in both matches.

[mdrew]

Even though he is still U18 eligible, young second rower and Keebra Park student Brenden Hoffman has played plenty of matches above his age group including two U20 matches and also two in the Doug Lipp Cup for Runaway Bay.

The Queensland U18 school boy side with more than a couple of Titans play their first match of the ASSRL Championships this afternoon against NSW CCC.

The side is captained by Titan Solomon Torrens with vice captain being fellow Gold Coaster Toby Sexton.

A better coach also this year mate so hopefully better results

Burleigh Colts defeated Tweed 44-16.

Alofiana Khan-Pereira, Lochlyn Sheldon, Luke Maiden, Jayden Campbell and Will Evans amongst the Burleigh try scorers and Juwan Compain scored for Tweed.

On his return from injury William Semu who was player of the match for the Titans U14's earlier this year wore the No. 7 jersey (usually plays second row) for Carina and did some good things on the left of the field today as Carina won 18-14 against the previously unbeaten South Acacia Ridge Magpies in the GBJRL U14 Division One competition.

He looked like he was going to score a long range try down the left touch line in the second half but his foot just touched the line.

Great to see Callum Boomer making his Queensland Cup debut on the right wing for Tweed Heads against Burleigh this afternoon.
