Junior Development

[mdrew]

A great development in relation to junior rugby league on the Gold Coast is the introduction of a Tweed Heads Seagulls side in the U17 Division One competition which will be coached by Kevin Neighbour who is also coaching the Titans U20 rookie squad in 2018. Youngsters like Titans High Performance Academy member Jordan Tauali'i will be a beneficiary.

Mdrew can you elaborate a bit more on this under 20 rookie squad, who the players and who do they play

[mdrew]

Lonegull they are essentially like the Titans High Performance Squad. They will likely play some trial matches but over the season the players will in the main play for either Burleigh, Tweed or the Western Mustangs.

In terms of the players a number of the boys that are still eligible for U20's from the 2017 NYC season are there and plenty of the MM boys such as Jaxson Paulo, Darius Farer etc.

As the off season goes on I will try to update.

Some very talented boys from the Titans High Performance Unit in the squad

Laz Sua is in the Queensland Samoa U18 side for next weeks QPIIC competition

- - - Updated - - -

Tuvalli Pereira is in the U14 squad and Alofiana Pereira and Jordan Tauali'i are in the U16's

[mdrew]

Titans linked duo centre Daniel Butturini and centre/second row Tyrhs Williams were part of the Group One side that played a trial match against Group 18 on Friday in Ballina on Friday night as a curtain raiser to the NSW Country Scotland clash.

Daniel Butturini was part of the U15 Titans squad that played against a Tigers selection recently. The PBC student is certainly a young player to keep an eye on in the future

Some very talented boys from the Titans High Performance Unit in the squad

Hi guys,
Did anyone attend the trials day they had? What were your thoughts.
Also mdrew, is there anyway you can give a status of the kids that made the squad. I know there is a few that are with the titans in some capacity, some that were, and some that haven't been yet.
Cheers
JA

In relation to the Titans linked boys in the U16 Vikings squad that is a tough one to answer.* The Titans are currently talking to players about opportunities in their high performance unit so it depends on who accepts, if some don’t who then will get an opportunity etc.

Updates will come as soon as they are identified.

Great to see Titans High Performance Unit management Jamie McCormick up at Toowoomba yesterday with the Western Mustangs with their MM Cup and Colts trials yesterday. All of the Colts eligible Titans High Performance Unit members such as Luke Maiden, James Robinson etc should bin the final squad.
