NRL CLUBS BATTLE FOR BOOM SCHOOLBOY
Gold Coast culture boss Mal Meninga has vowed not to lose the region’s best young kids, and now the Titans face their first serious test to snap up teenage playmaking sensation Toby Sexton.

Sexton was named in the Australian Schoolboys squad last month and formed a lethal scrumbase pairing last year at Palm Beach Currumbin with Tom Dearden, who made his NRL debut this year at the Broncos.


Palm Beach Currumbin captain Toby Sexton.
Now Sexton is a man in a demand, with the Queensland under-18s star being chased by a number of Sydney-based NRL clubs.

Sexton has a scholarship with the Bulldogs which expires at season’s end and he will not remain at Canterbury, opening the door for the Titans, who have tabled an offer for the classy halfback.

A fortnight ago, Meninga assured Titans fans the days of a Gold Coast talent drain were over and it will be interesting to see if the club can stem the flow by securing Sexton.

I think this has been in the works for a while. I saw Will Evans, and Jamie McCormack talking at the South Coast Trials and they called Toby over for a chat..
Be interesting to see what comes of it.
