    Mate the kid is class, it will be fascinating whether he lines up in the halves for Tweed Heads MM side or at fullback, either way the Tweed Heads side is that good there is competition in either position.

    Keano Kini has already played in a Titans jersey when he started at half against Newcastle earlier this season.

    A big call I know but for me, Keano Kini has Tom Weaver like potential.

    The best NZ based U16 2020 player full stop.

    His union background is very impressive for someone his age.

    Great to see big strong young forward Reico Ratana in the 2021 Tweed Heads Seagulls MM Cup squad. It will be hard to get into the Tweed Heads pack but it will be great experience for Reico Ratana who is also MM Cup eligible in 2022.

    Impressive effort by Lismore U18 rugby league player Campbell Harvey. In his first year in rugby he was selected in the NSW Country Gen Blue U18 side that went down 24-19 to NSW City Gen Blue U18's last weekend and after that match was selected on the right wing for the NSW Gen Blue U18 side that take on a NSW GPS schools side in Sydney tomorrow.

    For me mate, Jaylen Taewa is potentially very very good, he was a stand out for the Bilambil U15 side this season in the Group 18 U15 competition, and should start in the second row for the 2021 Northern Rivers Titans U16 Andrew Johns Cup squad. Jaylen was named Man of the match in the Grand Final this year as Bilambil defeated Byron Bay/Lennox Head 14-6.

    Jury is also in the Northern Rivers 2021 U16 squad as is fullback Tyrese Bowman who has all the attributes that you want in a fullback, for example size and speed and is an Bilambil Jet.

    Outside back Dominic Bowman and half/five eight Kia Smallwood are both from South Tweed and were part of the Group 18 U16 Grand Final winning side this year as they defeated Murwillumbah 20-16 and both have been named in the 2021 U18 Northern Rivers Titans Laurie Daley Cup squad. Kia Smallwood was named Man of the Match in the Grand Final.

    All five boys were part of the Titans U15 or U16 Invitational teams that played against other Titans squads in early October at CBus Stadium.

    All five have also made numerous Group 18 representative sides over the last couple of seasons.

    I have recently written up Jaylen and Jury Taewa and Kai Smallwood in the my take thread and the other two are not far away from being updated.

    The 2020 season of Klese Haas:

    In 2020 Klese Haas spent time at both right second row and right centre for Keebra Park State High School in the Langer Cup Open A school boy competition and played his club rugby league for the Bilambil Jets in the NRRRL competition, playing a number of NRRRL First Grade matches as well as matches in the NRRRL U18 competition for the Jets.

    Klese Haas started Round One of the 2020 Langer Cup school boy competition in the right second row position for Keebra Park State High School against Wavell State High School scoring late in the match as Keebra Park suffered a surprise first up loss to the Brisbane based school in the South East Queensland school boy competition.

    Klese Haas’s try against Wavell came when he took the ball from a Keebra Park penalty kick after a drop out infringement from Wavell. Klese Haas took the ball to the right of where the tap kick took place, breaking four tackles in his ten metre run to get the ball down a metre to the right of the goal post with two Wavell defenders trying to drag him back from the try line.

    After being Keebra Park’s 18th man in Round Two of the Langer Cup against Marsden State High School and missing Round Three against Ipswich State High School, Klese Haas started at right second row in Rounds Four and Five of the Langer Cup against PBC and St Mary’s College Toowoomba respectively.

    In Keebra Park’s big 2020 Langer Cup semi-fianl victory over Wavell, Klese Haas started at right centre and scored a late second half try, when after receiving the ball immediately Klese Haas stepped inside his opposite defender before cutting back towards the outside before beating the Wavell fullback who was coming across on the inside to get the ball down five metres in from the right corner post.

    Klese Haas also started the 2020 Langer Cup Grand Final at right centre as Keebra Park went down to local rivals PBC.

    Post the 2020 Langer Cup Grand FInal, Klese Haas was named in the second row in the 2020 Langer Cup Team of the Year and was named the 15th best school boy rugby league/rugby player in South East Queensland in 2020 by the Courier Mail. In fact the Courier Mail nominated Klese Haas the best Queensland school boy that had not been signed by an NRL club at the start of the Langer Cup competition in 2020.

    When Community Rugby League re-started in July 2020, Klese Haas lined up for the Bilambil Jets in the NRRRL competition, playing for the Jets in both the NRRRL First Grade and U18 competiitions.

    In the 2020 NRRRL U18 competition, Klese Hass played in two matches, both coming before the competition was split into the Green and Gold divisions due to Covid 19, with Bilambil playing in the Green Division. Klese Haas started Round One of the initial competition at lock against Ballina and also started at lock in Round Six against the Tweed Coast Raiders.

    Klese Haas made his NRRRL First Grade debut off the bench in Round One of the 2020 competition against Ballina before making his first NRRRL First Grade start at centre against Murwillumbah in Round Two. Klese Haas also started in the centres in Round Four against Tweed Coast and Round Five against Cudgen before coming off the bench in Round Six against the Tweed Coast Raiders once again.

    The 2020 season of 2021 Tweed Heads Seagulls MM Cup squad member Jaylan De Groot:

    Jaylan De Groot was named to start at fullback for the Northern Rivers Titans in Round One of the 2020 U18 Laurie Daley Cup competition against the Parramatta Eels at Cudgen however the match was cancelled due to the wet conditions on the North Coast that weekend.

    Jaylan De Groot started at fullback in Round Two against the Newcastle Knights and had a day out scoring four tries as the Northern Rivers Titans thrashed their southern based rivals.

    Jaylon De Groot’s first of four tries came in the first half. Operating on the left side of the field, Jaylan De Groot received the ball “out the back” from Thomas Weaver, dummied to his left and after pulling the ball back into his body beat the Knights five eight on the outside when he was about ten metres out from the line. As he approached the try line, Jaylan De Groot got down low to force is way over, getting the ball down one handed (right hand) under pressure from two defenders.

    In many respects there were similarities in Jaylan De Groot’s three other tries in the match. On all three occasions, Jaylan De Groot was loitering behind the play the ball when the Northern Rivers Titans were bringing the ball of their own territory. For his first try of the three being discussed, Jaylan De Groot backed up a break from Bayley Cox to get the off load thirty metres out from the line, running over the top of the Knights fullback to score on the left side of the field.

    Jaylan De Groot backed up a break from Titan Oskar Bryant for his third try of the match running forty metres untouched to score under the posts, to make it three tries in the first half. Jaylan De Groot’s four try of the match in the second half was a fifty two metre under the posts effort as once again he loomed up in support of a Northern Rivers Titans half break through the centre of the ruck.

    Jaylan De Groot also started at fullback in Round Three against the Central Coast Roosters and started in the custodian role as well in Round Four, scoring a double as the Titans drew with the Greater Northern Tigers.

    Jaylan De Groot’s first try against the Greater Northern Tigers was once again as a result of Jaylan De Groot backing up through the centre of the ruck. Daniel Butterini broke through the Tigers defence on the left side of the field and found Jaylan De Groot on the inside to score out wide. Impressively it was Jaylan De Groot who had thrown the pass to Butterini that had initially put the left centre outside of his direct opponent leading to the line break.

    Jaylan De Groot was once again on hand after a Thomas Weaver break to beat the Greater Northern Tigers fullback to score his second try of the match.

    In the final match before the Covid 19 shut down, being Round Five Jaylan De Groot also started at fullback against the North Coast Bulldogs, with the Northern Rivers Titans drawing the match to finish the abridged 2020 U18 Laurie Daley Cup competition undefeated.

    When community rugby league restarted in July 2020 Jaylan De Groot continued playing for the Cudgen Hornets in the NRRRL competition, starting the season in the NRRRL U18 competition before progressing and making his NRRRL First Grade debut going on to play multiple matches on the wing and at fullback.

    Jaylan De Groot played multiple matches for the Cudgen Hornets NRRRL First Grade side in 2020 both at fullback and on the right wing becoming an elusive and consistent long range try scorer from both positions.

    Noted below are some of Jaylan De Groot’s 2020 NRRRL First Grade tries for the Cudgen Hornets in no specific order:

    Playing on the right wing against the Bilambil Jets, jaylan De Groot scored a fifty metre opportunist try. Facing an overlap, Jaylan De Groot came out of the line to put pressure on the Bilambil left centre who subsequently lost the ball as he tried to take the ball quickly and pass to his left to his unmarked winger. Jaylan De Groot scooped the ball up on the first bounce and was easily too fast for the cover defence to run away a dive over under the posts. The try highlighted perfectly Jaylan De Groot’s plus speed off the mark.

    Jaylan De Groot scored a further try against Bilambil when he was also playing on the right wing. The ball was spun out to his wing, but by the time that he had received it, jaylan De Groot had no room to move down the wing. Jaylan De Groot cut back inside beating three Jets defenders with steps off both feet to eventually get the ball down five metres in from the right corner post.

    Against Murwilumbah Jaylen De Groot, as he does exceptionally well was loitering directly behind the play the ball, when Cudgen made break through the centre of the ruck, Jaylan De Groot loomed up in support to take the offload at full speed before rounding the fullback and as has become his custom dived over to score under the posts.

    Jaylan De Groot’s aerial skills were on display in a match against the Bilambil Jets when playing at fullback, Jaylen De Groot charged through and took an attacking chip kick on the full on the left side of the field midway between the goal posts and corner post and was able to get the ball down before the Jets defene could react.

    Jaylan De Groot also produced one memorable try assist in the 2020 NRRRL First Grade competition. Against Murwillumbah from the fullback position Jaylan De Groot chimed into the backline on the right side of the field and once through the initial defensive line threw what can only be described as outstanding no look pass to his right which found his centre on the chest and from there they were able to sprint away down the right touch line to score in the right centre. Jaylan De Groot’s pass was quite simply exquisite and a pass few could have thrown even in the NRL when going at full speed like Jaylan De Groot was at the time.

    In 2020 Jaylen De Groot also played in a number of NRRRL U18 matches for Cudgen including starting on the left wing in the Hornets NRRRL U18 Grand Final victory, with Jaylan De Groot scoring a double in the often spiteful match after starting the match on the left wing.

    Jaylan De Groot actually scored the first try of the 2020 NRRRL U18 Grand Final when a long cut out pass from Thomas Weaver found the Cudgen left centre who got the ball onto Jaylan De Groot who crossed out wide and had the foresight to bring the ball around closer the the goal posts.

    Jaylan De Groot’s second Grand Final try also came in the first half and was the third Cudgen Grand Final try. Jaylan De Groot was on the end of a long cut out pass from Thomas Weaver, receiving the ball about five metres out from the try line in acres of space and was able to bring the ball around an extra five metres from the left corner totally untouched before the Murwillumbah defence looked to cut him off from bringing the ball around any further.

    Jaylan De Groot had also scored in the 2020 U18 NRRRL regular season on multiple occasions including scoring against the Bilambil Jets when he scored under the posts after backing up a long break by Cudgen front rower Parker Bryant who had drawn the fullback before offloading to his left to Jaylan De Groot.

    In 2020 Jaylan De Groot was also a member of the highly successful PBC Open A Langer Cup school boy squad that won the Grand final against local rivals Keebra Park with Jaylan De Groot starting the Grand Final at fullback.

    Jaylan De Groot had scored earlier in the Langer Cup qualifying rounds when he scored against Ipswich State High School. Starting the match at fullback Jaylan De Groot chimed into the PBC backline on the left side of the field receiving the ball from Thomas Weaver, Jaylan De Groot immediately burst through a gap between two Ipswich State High School defenders before beating the fullback with a left foot step and was able to bring the ball around to score under the posts as has become his trademark.

    Degroot and Weaver have some pretty slick chemistry. Excited to see them linking up again in MM this year.

    Mdrew, who's your pick for the halves and fullback positions for Tweed MM Cup? Seems very stacked with Weaver, Harradyn Wilson, Keano Kini & Jaylan DeGroot.

    Heck mate, it is a tough one, I think Jaylan De Groot at fullback, Tom Weaver at half, Keano Kini at five eight and Connor Te Kani in the centres.

    Tough but I think that Harradyn Wilson misses out if everyone is fully fit.
