Bitter sweet night for Jeriah Vagana last night. In his first match in a Titans jersey he started from the bench for the Titans U17/18 side against the Burleigh MM Cup side and scored a good try when he dived over full length in the right corner.
Unfortunately in scoring the try he injured his shoulder and could not finish the match and after the match his right arm was in a sling.Last edited by mdrew; 30-01-22 at 07:42 AM.

Great to see Jackson Le Pou start at halfback for the Tweed Heads MM Cup side last night against the Northern Rivers Titans.
The young man scored one try when he backed up a long break to score under the posts and also set up another with a good left foot stab kick to the left corner but the referee ruled the Seagulls knocked the ball on before it was grounded over the try line.

One thing I know after last night is thank heavens I was never a fullback, I was a very average second rower!
Late of the first half of the Titans U19 match Burleigh put up a huge bomb that came down about a metre from the Titans line with Jayalen De Groot taking the ball on the full well but just as he took possession he was absolutely smashed by four Burleigh players who forced him back in-goal.
I was down that end of the field and you could hear the tackle! To Jaylan De Groot's credit, after a deserved minute or so with the trainer Jaylan De Groot was back in the game.

Tom was very good last night. Looked to have definitely benefitted from the NRL pre season. Oskar Bryant played well, Keano Kini also had a good game. I felt Burleigh held their own in the battle up front and outside of Immanuel Kalekale with a few good runs, the Titans middles were unable to get on top until later in the game.
In the 17's game I was very impressed by Seth Nikotemo. His game has evolved a lot over the past few years as he gets bigger and stronger. Can tell he puts a lot of work in to his preparation.

I was quite impressed yesterday afternoon with young PBC hooker Will Saunders who came off the bench for the Tweed Heads Seagulls MM Cup squad in their 16-12 victory over the Northern Rivers Titans U18 Laurie Daley Cup side.
When he came on the young man provided a real spark with his energy and speed out of dummy half. Impressively he is also MM Cup eligible in 2023.

His team may have gone down 16-12 after the final siren but Northern Rivers Titans U18 front rower Brady Turner literally could not have done any more to help his team. He took the ball up all day into the far bigger Tweed Heads Seagulls MM Cup side and also tackled everything that moved.

Corey Cassidy-Natano came onto the field early in the second half to play in the right centre position, with his first key contribution coming in the 52nd minute when under heavy pressure and the pass coming at him fast and high above his head with a Burleigh defender in his face, Corey Cassidy-Natano had the awareness to not attempt to catch the ball and taped the ball on to his right to an unmarked Jeremaiah Temapo who was able to rumble twenty six metres down the right touch line.
Corey Cassidy-Natano made a strong run in the 77th minute when he took a hit-up to the left of the dummy half and through sheer effort he was able to make a good fourteen metres.
