    The lineup for this weekend vs the tigers has a few changes from the one on the website

    Jenan parish will start at hooker, with deacon fletcher moving to 7 and daniel schwass to 6

    Good halves pairing. Daniel is a cool head and very good controlling half. Deacon is an attacking freak. Jenan starting at hooker is impressive..he turned 18 like a month ago and is still at high school (PBC)

    Team had a rough game against the tigers, losing Soape Palau (cousin of Tevita and Israel Folau) in the first 10 minutes. They also lost five eighth Deacon Fletcher just after half time, meaning that we had to shift Hawkes to fullback and Jahrome came in at 6.

    We had a few disallowed tries too. A good effort from an inexperienced side but obviously still needing to improve.

    The Team has been travelling what appears to be badly however by most reports and from what I've seen, there is actually a fair bit of promise there. We've lost a few close ones and the 20's teams we have played against are all generally strong.

    Here are some highlights of Caleb Morehu - one of our second rowers. Promising future, plays an Elijah Taylor style game. Played Qcup for Burleigh last year for a few games too (before he had played holden cup).

    Highlights courtesy of Player X:

    Hazard also features quite frequently in the videos. As does Jenan Parish (hooker) who is another promising player.

    Congrats to the team yesterday for beating the Tigers at Leichardt. This team is starting to click.

    Brian Kelly had a hatrick and other strong performers were Kane Elgey, Connor Broadhurst and Daniel Schwass.

    The team will also be getting Francis Fafita back soon and Shaun Hudson will be available for selection as well. Soape Palau still needs to come back from injury as well so there are some good attacking options to come in to the team too.

    MM cup is over as well for the GC teams (I think?) so a couple of boys, eg Sam Swift, will be available for u20 selection now too.

    Yes, it was a great win and a result of a lot of hard work by whole team squad and Coaching Staff. There were good signs in their game against a full strength Penrith side, and was a tough game.
    the left side of Elgey, Coleman, Broadhurst and Kelly had been excellent in last 2 weeks, with Coleman having great gaem against Panthers and Elgey having his best game this year against Tigers. Both Wingers have been very good and in fact all the team (17 players) were fantastic against the Tigers, who came at them in the 2nd half. Yes looks like we are starting to Click, but they have to keep up the hard work.

    Another terrible performance from the NYC side, they are in all sorts of trouble. This will be sixth year in a row that we have finished either last or second last, shame Titans shame. Not suggesting that the boys are not trying hard but there are clearly some systemic problems with the Titans recruitment and development at the junior levels. Woolf should not be held out to complaint as this is his first year, but until the Titans take junior development seriously then the Gold Coast community will never embrace them.

    That's a pity but it never ceases to amaze me that U20 gets preference over a 2nd grade comp like QCup … until this is addressed the progression of players will always be faulty. mdrew, do or can our NYC players ever get picked into QCup teams not just when they get older?

    Yes MDrew it was a bad 2nd half performance (for the last 30 minutes) by some of the players, with bad decisions and one on one missed tackles, but St George are a good team. I have to say though that some of our players did step up and played themselves to a standstill and can hold their head high, (Hassard, Coleman, Sharp, Fletcher & Iodice (for 1st game) but other players just did not stand up and handle that 30 minute period in 2nd half. I still believe our 20s are a work in progress and are equal to any team in comp for only periods of a game & still have to learn to play 80 minutes. We still have 10 games to play & hopefully can get some wins and get up the ladder, Got to be positive.
    I fully agree with Titanic and a great comment. All Sydney Clubs (NSW) virtually use their NSW Cup Team as a Reserve Grade and many of their good 20s are playing Reserve Grade for great experience. The Titans should be definitely following this pattern and our good 20s (who can handle the step up) should definitely be playing Instrust Cup games, that is how they improve playing against older good footballers and gain invaluable experience in that grade.
