    Even though he will still in MM Cup eligible in 2019 it appears that Connor Williams will bypass that competition entirely and start the 2019 season as part of the Western Mustangs U20 Colts side.

    He started off the 2018 season in the Western Mustangs MM Cup side and then transitioned back to the Toowoomba Rugby League competition playing with Southern Suburbs in the U18 competition.

    In the MM Cup, Connor Williams was involved in all six of the Western Mustangs matches and scored his sole try of the season in Round Six and a huge second half comeback against the Burleigh Bears.

    Connor Williams came off the interchange bench in Round One, started at lock in Rounds Three and Four (Western Mustangs had a round two bye) and started in the second row in his remaining matches.

    Connor Williams played fifteen matches in the Toowoomba Rugby League U18 competition this season for Southern Suburbs including the finals series.

    In those matches Connor Williams scored fourteen tries, ten in the regular season and four in the finals series. In the regular season, Connor Williams scored doubles against Pittsworth, Wattles and Toowoomba Valleys and also scored against Warwick, Pittsworth, Goondiwindi and Gatton.

    In the first week of the finals Connor Williams started in the second row as Southern Suburbs overcame South Burnett and in week two of the finals he once again started in the second row and scored as Southern Suburbs progressed with a 36 – 14 win over Gatton.

    In the Preliminary Final against Dalby, Connor Williams started in the centres instead of his normal second row position and scored a try in the 2nd minute of the second half as Southern Suburbs defeated Dalby 44 – 4 to progress to the Grand Final.

    In the 2018 Toowoomba Rugby League U18 Grand Final Connor Williams started in the centres against Highfields and Districts and was on the winning side as Southern Suburbs won 38 – 10.

    Connor William’s first TRL U18 match this season was in Round One against Toowoomba Valleys and then as a result of his MM Cup commitments did not play again in the U18’s until Round Six. In Rounds One and Six Connor Williams started from the inter change bench but since then has started all of his matches in the second row.

    Connor Williams also made his Toowoomba Rugby League First Grade debut this season when he started in the centres in July against Highfields and Districts. Connor Williams played two more First Grade matches, starting both in the centres as well against Goondiwindi and Gatton scoring on both occasions as well.

    The St Mary’s student was also part of the Darlings Downs U18 side that participated in the U18 QSSRL Championships this year.

    Connor Williams started at lock for St Mary’s College Toowoomba in the 2018 Confraternity Shield including starting in the final against Ipswich’s St Peter Claver College which St Mary’s won 42 – 6.

    In the Qualifying rounds St Mary’s defeated St Patricks College Mackay 20 – 4, St Peter Claver College 24 – 6 and St Teresa’s College Abergowrie 26 – 18 to progress to the finals.

    Prior to making and subsequently winning the Confraternity Shield, St Mary’s defeated Aquinas College Ashmore 36 – 4 in the Qualifying Final and Ignatius Park College Townsville 22 – 10 in the semi-final to have an outstanding competition.

    The young Toowoomba South’s lock or second rower was solid throughout the 2017 season playing at the U16 level in the Toowoomba Junior rugby league competition. The 2017 Toowoomba 15/16 Academy Squad member and Titans/Western Mustangs squad member attended a Titans sponsored camp in Lennox Heads for three days including playing a match for the Western Mustangs against the Titans. As a result of his performances over the 2017 season Connor Williams has been placed on a Titans Scholarship for the next couple of seasons.

    Connor Williams started at lock in the 2017 U16 TJRL Grand Final that Souths won 32 – 20 against Highfields. Connor Williams scored his first try of the Grand Final in the 27th minute of the first half to extend South’s lead to 14 – 6. Connor Williams second try came in the 21st minute of the second half to give Souths a 30 – 12 lead.

    Over the course of the 2017 for Toowoomba Souths in the U16 Toowoomba Junior Rugby League competition Connor Williams scored eleven tries from thirteen matches. In addition to his Grand Final double, Connor Williams also scored doubles against Highfields in the regular season and Valleys.

    2017 also say the St Marys College Toowoomba student represent the Toowoomba U16 representative side and from there was selected in the U16 South West Mustangs side in the second row for the 2017 U16 Central Division Selection Trials.

    Connor Williams is a solidly built exceptional athlete and this can be seen when be he is running with the football. In his carries Connor Williams rarely takes a hit up without movement, he uses foot work prior to the line to look to break through as well as cutting either cutting back in behind the play the ball or cutting out towards the smaller defenders on the fringes of the ruck.

    In the 2016 U15 Toowoomba Junior Rugby League Grand Final, especially in the second half when I thought he was the best player on the field he made some great runs, including on the last play of the Grand Final when he burst onto a pass on the half way mark, he outpaced the cover defence and broke the tackle of the fullback to score a deserved try.

    One of the most difficult positions on a rugby league field to find a player who can excel there for me is in the centres.

    Some of the exciting players in the Titans TEDS system that are performing well out wide include, Jaxson Paulo, Kaleb Ngamanu, Kea Pere, Will Evans, Jack Martin, Orlando Swain, Life Khan-Pereira, Noah Gafa, Keegan Pace, Desmond Ferguson, Kye Cooper, Jamal Laurie, Zac Johnston, Rowan Mansfield, Brock Priestley and Damon Coldwell.

    Talented young half back Thomas Weaver from Cudgen in Northern New South Wales signed a two year contract with the Titans in 2018 and in March of that year started at half back for a Titans U15 Invitational side that defeated a Western Mustangs U15 side six tries to three (no goal kicks were taken) with Thomas Weaver being one of a number of stand outs for the Titans.

    In that match he formed a solid combination with five eight Jed Bignell. To be honest, it was clear in that match that Thomas Weaver was the leader of the team, he dictated the Titans tempo and controlled the play well from a game management perspective determining who got the ball, where the play was to and the ultimate aim of the particular set up six tackles and was the Titans primary tactical kicker.

    Thomas Weaver also had a try assist in the match when he threw an outstanding flat ball to left centre JT Manufeoata who ran into a whole to score out wide in the first half. Thomas Weaver was also the Titans primary tactical kicker in the match.

    Late in the 2018 season Thomas Weaver started on the wing for the Titans U15 as they defeated a U15 Balmain Tigers touring side 16 – 10 with Thomas Weaver being prominent throughout including throwing a great cut-out ball to winger Kaleb Ngamanu to score in around the 6th minute when he flashed down the left touch line untouched and was able to bring the ball around under the posts.

    Thomas Weaver was also involved in Rowan Mansfield second half match sealing try throwing the first in a chain of passes through Jye Gray to Kaleb Ngamanu who put Rowan Mansfield into a gap down the sideline. Rowan Mansfield used an outstanding in and away to beat the Balmain fullback to score untouched after a seventy metre run just to the right of the goal posts.

    Thomas Weaver almost scored himself in the match when he was backing up an outstanding fifty metre second half run from Kaleb Ngamanu when he expertly fielded a low kick and split the defence from his own line, but unfortunately just could not find Thomas Weaver with the inside pass.

    2018 also saw Thomas Weaver represent Group 18 in the New South Wales Country Age Championships scoring a try and kicking eight goals in his three Championship matches. Thomas Weaver scored against Group 21 and also kicked six goals in that match to finish with sixteen points and also kicked two goals in a tough 16 all draw with Group Two.

    In April of 2018 Thomas Weaver was selected in the Northern Region New South Wales Combined Catholic Colleges (CCC) U15 side for the New South Wales trials. Thomas Weaver was the half back in the side after being selected from St Joseph’s College Benora Point.

    After those trials Thomas Weaver has been selected in the New South Wales Combined Catholic Colleges U15 team for the ASSRL U15 Championships where he will be up against the Queensland Maroon and White sides which both contain Titans contracted boys.

    After the completion of the 2018 season Thomas Weaver and fellow Group 18 U15 team mates headed overseas to play in the Battlefield Challenge to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the end of World War I, a competition that the side won including victories against Emory Moor 12 – 6 and Leigh East 18 – 12.

    In a warm up match in England prior to the Tournament they defeated a Hemel Stags U16 side and post the Tournament defeated French side Aude Cathare. A number of other Titans players will also be involved in the tour including Keegan Pace, Jack Cullen, Ryan Foran, Byron Jones and Bailey Cox. On the tour Thomas Weaver won a number of Player of the Match awards.

    Thomas Weaver is also an outstanding touch player who has represented his region with distinction in multiple touch competitions and tournaments in both Queensland and New South Wales including last year’s Queensland Championships.

    The Titans contracted young half backs 2017 rugby league commitments ended when he was part a the Titans U15 Invitational side that played against a Balmain Tigers side at Cudgen and even though they were defeated the young Titans players put in a great effort on the night against a primarily older Balmain Tigers side.

    Thomas Weaver and his U14 Cudgen Hornets side had a great club campaign in the 2017 Group 18 junior rugby league competition going through the U14 competition undefeated with their skill and discipline on show in every match.

    The outstanding young Group 18 half back was a constant threat to opposing defences in the New South Wales Country Age Championships early in 2017 where Group 18 were defeated in the U14 Final with Thomas Weaver scoring Group 18’s sole try in the final and then he converted his own try. In two of the preliminary rounds Thomas Weaver kicked two goals apiece including a local derby against Group One to finish with a points total of 14 over the course of the Championships.

    Earlier in 2017 year Thomas Weaver was selected in the Northern Region Combined Catholic Colleges side at half back representing St Joseph’s College Benora Point. In 2015 Thomas Weaver was selected in the New South Wales U12 side for the Australian U12 Championships and that same year after being named Player of the Final for Cudgen in the Group 18 U12 competition was also named as the U12 Group 18 Player of the Season
