Junior Development

[Hail Sezer]

Who is he playing for ?

GC White Cyril Connell are playing in a semi final tomorrow at Townsville

Plays for Easts Tigers I think

[mdrew]

Yeh Easts Tigers. Danial Brownbill is also in the tigers side, good work by our scouts. Both should make Qld u16 side

[TITAN PETE]

Do you rate Kallum Mackay any chance of making Qld ?

[mdrew]

He has played very well this season, certainly the couple of games I saw. Hopefully for your club the redbacks, he has impressed the selectors Titan Pete

No there has been huge changes within the GCJRL , Kallums dad in Graham has taken over the coaching roll at Runaway Bay so obviously his son has moved there with him but the biggest change that has happened is after the new season draw came out for the Under 16's it was decided that there would only be one division so there could be no stacking of div 2 teams.

There was a meeting held between all Junior clubs fielding teams because about 6 clubs said they would Forfeit every game against Mudgee,Burleigh & Nerang because they would never be able to compete against them so there was a suggestion thrown up that as those 3 clubs have 2 teams in the age group that the talent & Cyril Connell players (we have 9, Burleigh 8)be split evenly between the 2 teams so there was a vote taken & every club with the exception Mudgee,Burleigh & Nerang voted that to happen , the GCJRL gave us 2 options of split the teams evenly or play in the under 17 comp, our players were not keen on playing the higher age so us & Nerang have split our players while Burleigh whose players weren't given a choice have gone to the 17's , should make for a far better comp but it's a shame that the Redbacks most successful Team in the Clubs history has been torn apart through being so successful

There was a legendary winger / fullback playing for mudgee red backs in their inaugural year of 1992.

the limelight wasn't for him, so now he just roots around on titans forums as DB. Did make a come back aged 27 for one year in 2007 or so ( the year before they changed to he storm).... Glory days

[Lion65]

Not sure both are with Titans though.

[mdrew]

South Coast finished 2nd in the QLd U15's carnival. A few Titans boys in both the Qld Maroon and White sides to contest the Australian championships

[Hail Sezer]

RLW Mole also reporting that Christian Hazard's younger brother is the highest rate junior since Luke Brooks and that a lot of NRL clubs are lining up for him.

Surely we will be in the hunt.

this is the best forum to say this, i believe:
the nrl side was beaten last weekend by a team with 4 or 5 players in their first season of top grade plus a 19yo in his second season. why in every season of the club's short history, hasn't carty ever trusted his recruitment team enough to blood some new talent like that this early in the season? is the recruitment so incompetent or does carty not have eyes for the future. either way, someone has to go. a club cannot have a viable future on the field by buying other teams cast-offs all the time.
i still cannot believe the club could not convince bevan french to sign for this year. i heard he had a look at the facilities. he is related to presto and wanted to play here. but instead parra won him. he played well in patches in their sg ball side and has an incredibly bright future. as i said at the time on a forum here, it was a no brainer, offer him, even at 17, a contract equal to a fringe nrl player. invest in the future with some of your current cap and his signing could convince other young talent to consider joining him.

Congratulations to the Junior Titans players who have made the U13 and U13 Kookaburra's squad, a couple of young boys, who are Titans contracted boys from Logan and Wests Panthers are also in the Pontseas squads. Please Titans management get these boys the acknowledgement they deserve

[lonegull]

Hopefully we see some of the boys comes through the ranks over the next few years thanks for the update mdrew

[mdrew]

Congratulations to South Coast winning 22-16 against Met East in the 1st game of the U18 QSSRL comp

[mdrew]

44 - 20 for South Coast against Sunshine Coast, they are into the semi's. Some Titans linked boys also in the Presidents and South West sides, they are not faring so well though. Congratulations to all boys from all teams
