    Not nessarity Alan, both Thomas Weaver and Ryan Foran have made NSW U16 squads, NSW U15 ASSRL squads etc. They can only play who they are scheduled to play, for want of a better way to put it.

    Similiarly both have played a number of matches for Titans squads that have included the best players in the Titans system from both the Gold Coast and Brisbane and have stood out against the likes of the Newcaslte Knights.

    Next year both are potentially likely to play in the MM Cup and for PBC so whilst I agree that will be very good to see, they in my opinion already shown that they are very talented young players.

    Size and power have never been a problem for Keebra Park school boy rugby league sides and the 2020 Langer Cup Open A squad will be no different with the likes of 17 year old front rower Taine Nathan in the squad.

    At 188cm and 112kg Taine Nathan certainly adds size to the 2020 Keebra Park Langer Cup squad.

    The powerhouse earlier in 2020 was part of the Burleigh Bears MM Cup squad and is also MM Cup eligible in 2021.

    In early 2020 Taine Nathan was selected in the South Coast U18 school boys rugby squad.

    Taine Nathan has been at Keebra Park State High School for a number of years now and in 2019 was part of Keebra parks Year Ten side.

    The Coombabah State High School 2020 Langer Cup squad will be a very young side when the school boy rugby league competition kicks off in term three.

    One of the youngsters looking to make their mark in the Open A side will be young front rower or second rower Jared Johnson. Jared Johnson has been at Coombabah State High School for a number of seasons, playing the 2019 season as part of Coombahah’s Year Ten side.

    The 98kg, 185cm front rower or second rower for Helensvale Hornet earlier this season was set to play for one of the two Gold Coast Vikings U16 representative sides in the South East Queensland U16 Pre-Season Challenge.

    In 2019 Jared Johnson was named in the Murri Carnival Arthur Beetson Foundation U15 Merit Team.

    In 2018 Jared Johnson was part of the Helensvale Hornets U14 side that won the Tassell Trophy junior tournament by defeating the Western Lions 40 – 6 in the final in Cairns.

    In that final Jared Johnson kicked one of the four conversions that Helensvale kicked.

    Keebra Park State High School has a great history of developing New Zealand born players and the next one that could develop into a special player is left centre (primarily left centre but has also played on the right and on the wing) is former Auckland standout Nathaniel Cama.

    At 90kg and 178cm Nathaniel Cama is a big boy but has deceptive speed and mobility.

    Before moving over to Australia (he travels from Logan to Keebra Park every day) Nathaniel Cama spent two seasons in Auckland powerhouse school St Paul’s First College XIII, making his debut as a 15 year old in 2018.

    In late 2019 Nathaniel Cama started at left centre for St Pauls College in their SAS College First XIII 28 – 6 Final victory over Southern Cross Campus.

    In October 2019 Nathaniel Cama started in the centres and scored for the Toa Samoa U16 side as they defeated a New Zealand U16 side 26 – 20 in their annual match.

    Also in 2019 Nathaniel Cama was selected in the New Zealand U16 Talent Development Program and on the last day of the camp that was held in early 2019 started in the centres for Team Papalií in the trial. Later in the 2019 season Nathaniel Cama was named in the New Zealand U16 Wider Squad.

    Nathaniel Cama’s 2019 representative program also included starting on the left wing for the Auckland Vulcans U16 side that played a Future Warriors U16 squad in a curtain raiser to an NRL match in Auckland between the Warriors and North Queensland. Titans contracted Keano Kini started at half for the Auckland Vulcans U16 side.

    In the 2019 Auckland U16 club competition Nathaniel Cama played ten matches for the Waitemata Seagulls and opposed Titans Keano Kini and Levon Pure.

    Finally in 2019 Nathaniel Cama was part of the Arakana Falcons U17 representative side.

    In 2018 Nathaniel Cama represented the Auckland Vulcans U15 representative side at the New Zealand U15 National Youth Championships starting at left centre in all five of their matches including their 16 – 14 Championship Final victory over the South Island Scorpions. In the Final Nathaniel Cama scored an acrobatic diving try of the left corner from close range down a short blind side.

    Post those Championships Nathaniel Cama was named in the U15 National Youth Championship Merit Team.

    In 2017 Nathaniel Cama represented Fiji at the Pasicifica Youth Cup scoring two tries for the Fiji U15 side. Those tries came against the Cook Islands and Niue.

    Nathaniel Cama’s first taste of representative rugby league came in 2016 when he was part of the Auckland North U13 representative rugby league side and in 2017 was part of the Auckland North U14 representative side.

    With the new rules the likes of Cameron Murray and Victor Radley have come into their won around the ruck and as team gets more and more used to the new rules and the interchange limit reduces even more in 2021 the type of players noted will become even more valuable.

    Thankfully for the Titans they have a young player in their JTS program who has the best attributes of Murray and Radley in Bailey Martin.

    The young PBC student has impressive late and quickly footwork to accompany underrated ball playing skills.

    When you throw in one of the defensive techniques I have ever seen from a junior rugby league player, the Titans have an absolute class act on their hands in Bailey Martin.

    The GPS school boy rugby competition kicks off next month, all be it for a shortened season, with a number of Titans contracted players involved for their respective schools across South East Queensland.

    Brisbane based Titans contracted outside back Antioch Faitala-Mariner will line-up for the Brisbane State High School U16A side in the GPS school boy rugby competition and may also get an opportunity the school’s First XV side such is his skill set and his maturity both physically and mentally.

    Brisbane State High Schools first 2020 GPS school boy rugby trial will be in July against Ipswich Grammar School for whom fellow Titan Orlando Swain will line up for in the Ipswich schools First XV. Even though he was U16A eligible in 2019 Orlando Swain played two First XV matches for Ipswich Grammar School late in the 2019 season, starting both on the right wing including a match against TSS.

    Titans contracted Kaleb Ngamanu will line-up for the The Southport School (TSS) at inside centre after a stand out 2019 First XV campaign with fellow Titans contracted Nic Hilton (backrow) in either the U16A or First XV. TSS play their first GPS trial next month against Nudgee College and are the defending GPS school boy rugby First XV Champions.

    Players that are part of the Titans JTS program will be back training soon and it will be great to follow their progress as they look to achieve their NRL dreams.

    In particular the cohort of Titans contracted in the 17 to 20 years group is particularly impressive and over the next two to three years those young men will start to move through into the Titans NRL squad.

    Any team playing Keebra Park in the upcoming Langer Cup school boy rugby league competition will have to handle backrower Tyrone Gunn-James.

    The young lock or second rower had a great amount of success at the school boy level in 2019 and will be looking to replicate that in 2020 after his move south to Keebra Park State High School where he will be part of their Langer Cup Open A squad.

    In Round One of the 2020 MM Cup competition Tyrone Gunn-James started at lock and scored in the 29th minute of the first half for Easts as the Tigers defeated the Central Queensland Capra’s 52 - 18 in the one and only Round of the 2020 MM Cup season.

    In 2019 Tyrone Gunn-James was part of the Kirwan State High School side that won the Payne Cup by defeated St Brendan’s College Yeppoon, also won the Queensland GIO Cup school boy final against Marsden State High School 38 – 22 and also won the National GIO Cup Final 16 – 10 against Westfields Sports High.

    In all three school boy finals Tyrone Gunn-James started the matches at lock although he moved into the second row in the National GIO Cup final mid-way through the first half as a result of an injury reshuffle and actually broke his nose late in the game as a result of a heavy tackle.

    In the Queensland GIO Cup Final Tyrone Gunn-James scored Kirwan’s first try of the match when he dummied his way through the Marsden State High School defence and then ducked under a high tackle to dive over and lock the scores up at six all early in the first half.
