    One of the best players in the GCRL U20 competition this season was Runaway Bay fullback Tyler Han who made scoring long range tries look easy.

    Tyler Han started at half for the Souths Logan Magpies in Round One of the Hastings Deering's Colts competition this season.

    Tyler Han is U20 eligible again in 2021 and thus it will be interesting to see where he lines up next season.

    The Tweed MM side should be absolutely outstanding mate, more than a few stand outs such as Tom Weaver, Bailey Martin, Ryan Foran, Oskar Bryant etc. Quite a few players from Ballina and Casino trialed on Saturday and a young centre from the GPS First XV rugby school boy competition from a Brisbane school as well.

    The final squad will be tough to get into, they should be very very good.

    Great to see star Titans contracted New Zealand star in the making Keano Kini in the Tweed Heads 2021 MM Cup side.

    The young man is a star and to see him in the same side as Thomas Weaver will be great.

    One of the more intriguing names in the 2021 Tweed Heads MM Cup squad is centre Campbell Watchairs. He is a northern NSW junior from the Inverell area but this year moved up to Brisbane and played at outside centre for the Brisbane Grammar School First XV school boy rugby side in the GPS competition.

    The 2021 Tweed Heads Seagulls MM Cup side certainly has players who can lead by example with two being Titans contracted Tom Weaver and Nic Hilton.

    Both have captained Titan Development squads.

    The 2020 season for Titans contracted Keano Kini who is on his way over to Australia and has been named in the 2021 Tweed Heads Seagulls MM Cup squad.

    In March 2020 Keano Kini was selected to captain the under 16 NZtag Black team that was due to compete in the 2020 Trans-Tasman Series however that competition was postponed as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic. Early 2020 also saw Keano Kini named in the initial New Zealand rugby league U16 representative squad.

    Keano Kini was not able to play much rugby league in 2020 but was able to play First XV school boy rugby in New Zealand for Rosmini College, not bad at all for a 16 year old.

    Keano Kini started the 2020 school boy rugby year at fullback (N0. 15) for Rosmini College in their pre-season match against Rangitoto Collage, and when he season proper started all six of Rosmini College's First XV matches at fullback, finishing second in the competition with five wins and just one loss.

    Keano Kini started against Kaipara High School (Round One 59 - 0 win), Westlake Boys High School (Round Two 24 - 19 loss), TGS (Round Three 31 - 5 win), Massey High School (Round Four 14 - 0), Orewa College (Round Five 48 - 5 win) and Whangarei Boys High (Round Six 43 - 10 win).

    Post the school boy First XV competition, Keano Kini was selected for the New Zealand Rugby Blues U18 training squad.

    In October 2020 Keano Kini played for Kotahitanga in the 2020 New Zeaand Maori tournament and post the competition of the tournament was named at fullback in the U17 All-tournament team.

    Keano Kine started the Grand Final of the 2020 New Zeaand Maori Tournament at fullback for Kotahitanga as they defeated Taranaki Whanau 36 – 12 with Keano Kini scoring a try and kicking two conversions in the victory. Keano Kini scored when he was operating on the right side of the field and chased through a chip kick, taking the ball on the full and rounding two defenders to score under the posts.

    The NZ Maori U17 side featuring Keano Kini at fullback played a New Zealand Residents U16 team on 24 October 2020 at Rotorua International Stadium with New Zealand Maori going down 46 – 6.

    The Tweed Heads Seagulls 2021 MM Cup squad is an extrmely talented group and one young player that easily fits that description is Titans contracted centre Kaleb Ngamanu. 2021 will be his second season with the Tweed Heads MM side after starting in the one and only round of this season.

    The young man is a talented rugby player as well, already playing two season in the TSS First XV school boy GPS rugby competition.

    Thanks for the intel mdrew. Keano Kini sounds like an interesting prospect, looking forward to seeing his development over here. I think with halves the younger they’re here the better so 2 full years in MM and our JTS system will do a lot for his game.

    His union background is very impressive for someone his age.
