When 16 year old Dorian Lotaki arrived from New Zealand to attend Keebra Park SHS a couple of months ago I was of the firm belief that his best position was hooker, but he has been the stand out player in the Walters Cup school boy competition at left centre and is the competitions leading try scorer after five rounds.

He also plays for Nerang in the GCRL U18 Division One competition even though he is still U16 eligible and has stood out for the Roosters at half, lock, five eight and on the wing.

Today he is set to start at hooker against Burleigh.

He may be still U16 eligible but Titans linked Stevie O'Connor has been in very good form in the NRRRL U18 this season for the Tweed Coast Raiders and today he will line up at fullback against the Bilambil Jets.
