I went to the Loyalty members do last night and Dennis Watts mentioned the above during his speech. He also mentioned that these guys are all mates and grew up together playing footy. mdrew maybe able to confirm that but if true then that is a good thing. Reality is though at some stage in the future the 6 will 'disband' due to the business of footy.
At last nights function there was also a hint that further changes are still to be made in the football department. Hopefully they were referring to Dan Ferris and his staff.
For me mate, WIll Evans and Juwan Compain would be the two that I think will play NRL as early as next season and Carsil Vaiaki probably not too far behind.
In terms of the hooking stocks at the U18 level you have Jed Edwards and Ediq Ambrosyev, but both at probably 2021 considerations.
The Burleigh Colts side have Lachlan Turnbull and Zac McCormack.
At the U16 level we are loaded with the likes of Oskar Bryant, Caleb Gould-Waiariki, Kedan Somerville and Bailey Martin who is transitioning to hooker, all are outstanding.
It was for Gold Members who have been members for 10 or more consecutive years
Does anyone know why we haven't signed Troy Leo from Burleigh? He is the leading try scorer in QCup and has scored 45 tries from 50 games. He's not a physically big player but he is the same weight as Arthars and could probably put on a couple more kg's over the off season, if we were to give him a contract. Also he is rapid quick and our current wingers all severely lack pace.
Also, I realise that a lot of people will say that he is too small for first grade and will be a defensive liability but our wingers have been so bad this year, I doubt he could be any worse.

Hopefully with the likes of GOrdon, Lee and Arthars leaving (speculation only on Lee) we will sign someone with some speed like Troy. What is his defence like?
Not really sure, was hoping somebody might have seen him play a bit. I've only seen highlights and selected games that have been shown on Fox. There is definitely room in the squad for a few outside backs. Will be interesting to see what happens. Hopefully we don't re-sign Brenko Lee. He hasn't shown anything since he has been here.
EXCLUSIVE: Ash Taylor may have played his last game for Titans. The club is open to subsidising his salary to play for a rival side next year. NRL Clubs have already enquired. Titans happy to keep him too but feel change of scenery could be best.

Get rid of Roberts too and Sezer back with a young half or two.
