Yeah I played football with Berkers all my life, his preferred position is definitely in the back-row. He's a rangy player, a lot like Takairangi, but he would be faster than Takairangi and probably a lot more likely to do a lot of tackling. His brother was a REALLY good player as well, who signed with the Roosters but let alcohol get to the best of him. Berkers has that mentality which is all about football. He even dropped out of our schoolies apartment for pre-season training. An incredibly dedicated workhorse with the skills of a 5/8, size of a back-rower and the speed of a centre. He was the Confraternity Player of the year this year. Definitely a player to watch in the NYC next year and probably first-grade in 2015-2017.

New iSelect Gold Coast Titans NYC Coach and Player Development Manager Ben Woolf says he's been impressed by the Under-20s pre-season campaign so far as he looks to build his own culture within the group.
A relatively new Under-20s squad has assembled under Woolf ahead of the 2014 season and the former Keebra Park coach says he's been impressed by their attitude to training after the first five weeks of their pre-season campaign.
As part of his new role in looking after player development as well as the Under-20s side, Woolf has also had the chance to work with the NRL squad alongside Head Coach John Cartwright and Assistant Coach Neil Henry.
Woolf also pinpoints some of the NYC players for Titans fans to watch next season. Click on the play button to hear his thoughts on the Titans NYC squad.

OK...I am not going to go searching but wasn't there a Woolf that we 'had' in the 20's but now the Broncos have got him?... I gotta be wrong, there is no way we could lose a son of the coach...surely. Unless the coach doesn't rate him I guess, but that ain't gunna happen publicly.
Titan Pete can give more details, but yes the coaches son has been and will continue to be with the Bronco's, he is only at the U16 level. Titan Pete quite rightly rates him very highly
