Hi mdrew,

Are the Titans going to have Titans contracted players play for Burleigh MM and Colts or move them to Tweed?

Most seem to be lining up for Tweed mate, but certainly a few still with Burleigh.

In 2023 Jai Billish represented New Zealand Samoa at the U15 Pasifika Youth Cup held in New Zealand with Jia Billish starting in the halves on the right side of the field in the 2023 U15 Pasifika Youth Cup Grand Final against New Zealand Māori. Jai Billish then moved into the dummy half role for Samoa mid-way through the first half.

In the 12th minute from the left of the play the ball and twenty eight metres from the try line Jai Billish stepped off his left foot and as a consequence was made to make fourteen metres through the centre of the field to within fourteen metres of the try line. Then in the 22nd minute Jai Billish ran to his left out of dummy half six metres inside his own territory and was able to carry the ball to eight metres inside Māori territory.

At the conclusion of the Pasifika Youth Cup Jai Billish was named at hooker in the 2023 U15 Pasifika Youth Cup Carnival Team.

Hi mdrew, where does Jai Billish fit into our system?

Hi mdrew, where does Jai Billish fit into our system?

We signed him as a 15 year old early this year mate out of Keebra Park. He plays both hooker and in the halves but seemingly hooker is where the Titans see him.

How good is Jai Billish, he made his Langer Cup debut as a 15 year old this year against 18 year olds, but a bad effort at all.

He is also very much a leader on the field.

Donte Tahuhu-Wilson started the 2023 Pasifika Youth Cup Grand Final at fullback for New Zealand Māori against New Zealand Samoa with Donte Tahuhu-Wilson recording a try assist in the 8th minute when after chiming into the Māori backline on the left side of the field, Donte Tahuhu-Wilson ran the ball to within eighteen metres of the try line before throwing a hard, flat cut-out pass to his left to put his winger on the outside of his direct opponent and over to score in the left corner.

Donte Tahuhu-Wilson’s initial involvement of the Grand Final came in just the second minute when after collecting a Samoa clearing kick on the bounce thirteen metres out from his own try line near the right touchline Donte Tahuhu-Wilson ran the ball to his left back towards the centre of the field before being tackled twenty two metres out.

Also in the 2nd minute of the Grand Final Donte Tahuhu-Wilson backed up a line break by one of his forwards and after receiving the ball from an off-load from his right Donte Tahuhu-Wilson was able to make sixteen metres to get the ball from thirty five metres from the try line to within nineteen metres.

In the 16th minute after collecting a Samoa clearing kick on the bounce twelve metres out from his own try line near the right touchline Donte Tahuhu-Wilson ran the ball to his left back towards the centre of the field before being tackled twenty three metres out from his own try line with Donte Tahuhu-Wilson then awarded a penalty for being hit in a high tackle.

In the 49th minute Donte Tahuhu-Wilson ran to his left out of dummy half from ten metres inside his own territory and after bouncing away from one defender Donte Tahuhu-Wilson cut back to his right and was as a result able to get ball two metres inside Samoan territory before being brought to ground.

Donte Tahuhu-Wilson did well defensively in the 17th minute with a good one on one tackle on the Samoan right centre No. 4 who was brought down by Donte Tahuhu-Wilson with a good low right shoulder tackle twenty metres out from the try line after he had made a line break.

At the conclusion of the Pasifika Youth Cup Donte Tahuhu-Wilson was named at fullback in the 2023 U15 Pasifika Youth Cup Carnival Team.
