SEQ’s premier schoolboy rugby league’s competition’s Team of the Season

After months of excitement, we’ve named our Langer Trophy team of the season, along with awards like the Try of the Year, Discovery Players, Best New Faces and players we can’t wait to see in 2024.

Check out our Langer Trophy Team of the Season below.

Here it is, our annual Langer Trophy Team of the Season and associated award winners.

We named a 20 player squad, but there is much, much more to our story.

WALTERS CUP TEAM OF THE SEASON

Who scored the try of the season? Who were the Best New Faces, the Hard Yakka Award winners, and the Comeback Kings of 2023? All revealed here, along with players we Can’t Wait to Watch in 2024. Plus much more.

So sit back and relaxed as we take through the players who most caught our eye during a fabulous Langer Trophy season.

TEAM OF THE SEASON

1. Saxon Innes (Marsden SHS)

Speed was Innes’ point of difference. He was invisible last season in this competition as a winger, but his switch to No. 1 this season was a revelation.

2. Anton Naiyep (Ipswich)

Naiyep didn’t score as many tries as he did in 2022 but boy was he good.

He began the year flexing his muscles in the Meninga Cup competition and continued to show why he was a Queensland Schoolboys select throughout the Langer season.

He is so strong and never loses the ball.

3. Keisaia Sua (Ipswich SHS)

Raiders signed Su’a was impressive in his first and only season of Langer Trophy footy.

Coming across from New Zealand, Su’a quickly fit into the Ipswich outfit and combined well with Naiyep on his outside.

Palm Beach 2023 Langer Trophy Champions

Gold Coast juggernauts Palm Beach Currumbin handled the pressure of a frantic final minute in a come-from-behind championship win.

Watch the Langer Trophy grand final REPLAY.

Watch a full replay of Palm Beach Currumbin SHS v Ipswich SHS.

Palm Beach Currumbin SHS wrote another milestone moment for the school’s time capsule with a rousing Langer Trophy premiership win over Ipswich SHS at Langlands Park.

Like a boa constrictor creeping toward its prey, PBC exerted tremendous second half pressure to win the battle for field position and claim a 16-12 come-from-behind victory.

A second-half double for Palm Beach winger Sunny Kama all-but sealed victory for the Gold Coast nursery before a frantic final two minutes.

Ipswich managed to wriggle free of their rivals vice-like grip late in the second half when centre LJ Nonu created a try for his captain Oliva Iaulualo which cut the deficit to just four points.

A one-on-one steal on the final hooter gave the reigning champions one final shot at pulling off the unthinkable.

But Palm Beach held on for dear life, forcing the ball over the touchline to kick off massive celebrations.

Palm Beach’s Zane Harrison saved a try late with his cover defence, and his goal kicking also proved the difference.

What a match it was.

Ipswich led 6-0 at halftime on the back of a five star performance from rough and tumble winger Alton Naiyep, scoring in typically robust fashion.

On a normal day three or four more tries would have been scored, but not on grand final day as both sides scrambled impressively on their goal lines.

Creedence Donovan on Naiyep and Jac Finigan on Keisaia Su’A saved tries for PBC, while Naiyep returned serve to deny Donovan and Nonu grimly halted PBC spearhead Sam Stephenson.

It was a rollercoaster opening salvo, which set the tone for a thrilling finish.

Palm Beach Currumbin will have little time to savour victory ahead of a Phil Hall Cup showdown next Wednesday against Mackay’s St Patrick’s College.

“Who handles the pressure best on grand final day will win the title.”

Palm Beach Currumbin SHS coach Tim Maccan is certainly speaking from experience.

Maccan’s Reds will confront Ipswich SHS on Wednesday in a replay of last year’s Langer Trophy decider. Ipswich took the title in 2022 and went ont to be crowned national champions by beating Patrician Brothers Fairfield.

“The best team does not always win on grand final day. The team that best handles that pressure, that is who is going to win,’’ says Maccan, who has taken PBC SHS to the last two deciders.

Unlike last year when Ipswich SHS were slight favourites, they will be underdogs this time around after fielding a side with few survivors from last year’s history-making deeds.

PLAYERS WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE IN THE FINALS

Jett Jackson and Jac Finegan of PBC SHS

“It is a different journey, and a different group of boys and there have been very different experiences this year,’’ said coach Joshua Bretherton.

“Given the nature of the journey, it feels a little bit giddy. Are we supposed to be here? How good is this.’’

“We have never, ever had to deal with being the team everyone comes after and, at different times, we have not managed that really well.

“We have been inconsistent, but I am really proud of what the boys have done in the last two weeks to manage the pressure of the situations.’’

LANGER TROPHY PLAYERS TO WATCH

Zane Harrison and Bailey McConnell (PBC SHS)

PBC SHS has an extraordinary knack of producing playmakers and Harrison and McConnell are maintaining this proud tradition.

Last weekend, Tom Weaver (class of 2021) made his NRL debut for the Gold Coast – and he was one of six starting NRL halves from PBC SHS who played across the round.

The others were Tom Dearden (Cowboys), Cody Walker (South Sydney), Toby Sexton (Canterbury), Jamal Fogarty (Raiders) and Jahrome Hughes (Storm).

A proud PBC SHS coach Tim Maccan with one of his former star pupils – Tom Weaver

That is an All-Star cast, but Harrison and McConnell don’t have to live up to those past players because just being themselves is good enough and has got PBC into another decider.

Watching Harrison play is like seeing patches of Weaver and Josh Lynn (2021-22) on rewind.

His control, his attacking kicks and the way he plays to his ability is impressive.

Ray Puru and Will Saunders (PBC SHS)

Saunders has been a revelation this season with his dummy half play.

Like PBC SHS hookers from earlier this decade, Oksar Bryant and Tanu Nona, Saunders has a long pass from the ruck which opens up the field for his halfback Zane Harrison, while also giving his No. 7 a split second more time.

But he can scamper away from dummy half against tiring defenders, or run and engage the ruck defenders before unloading.

Throw a roaming Puru into the fray and you have a potent ruck cocktail.

Puru, a fullback, returned from injury in the semi-final against Marsden SHS and aided PBC SHS’s running game and speed with the ball around the ruck.

He is a smaller body, which makes him a harder target for big middle forwards to nail.

Tyler Peckham-Harris and Lesayne Tuiasau (Ipswich SHS)

Last year Ipswich had Gabriel Satrick and Tommy Luhrman (hookers), this year they have Peckham-Harris and Tuiasau.

Peckham-Harris will start at hooker and Tuiasau at prop, but Tuiasau is quick, fearless and can fill in at hooker to allow for Peckham-Harris to inject himself elsewhere.

They are a dangerous combination and with Sam Martin coming off the bench, Ipswich will be well equipped to combat the tricks of Saunders.

Ipswich hooker Tyler Peckham-Harris

Alton Naiyep (Ipswich SHS)

Perhaps the best finisher in the competition. Naiyep, a Manly-signed winger gets Ipswich onto the front foot with his carries, and is safe under the high ball. He will instil confidence in his teammates just by lurking on the edge.

Oliva Iaulualo (Ipswich)

The mobile second rower is capable of anything. He can assist by breaking the line and getting an offload away or score with sheer strength. Iaulualo is the full package and without jinxing him, he is made for the big moments.

Langer Trophy semi-finals live stream: Marsden SHS v Palm Beach Currumbin, Ipswich v Wavell

Get ready for another chapter in the battle between two of Queensland’s best performing rugby league schools after their masterful semi-final performances.

Watch the replay of the Langer Trophy semi-finals – Ipswich v Wavell (Langer)

Ipswich State High School will face Palm Beach Currumbin SHS in the Langer Trophy grand final after a clinical 18-6 victory over a fierce Wavell SHS on Tuesday at Kougari Oval.

The Langer trophy final will be a rematch of last year’s clash which Ipswich only just won 16-12.

The reigning champs solidified their spot in the big dance with 16 minutes left when Sam Martin scooped the ball from the back of the scrum and found Tyler Peckham-Harris.

Peckham-Harris, who has played various positions this season, drew his man and found Xavier Kirk who strolled in.

This try, straight out of coach Josh Bretherton’s handbook, gave Ipswich a decisive advantage.

Jack Laing and Sam Martin helped Ipswich into another decider.

Ipswich fly half Izaiah Mafi had his radar on kicking three-from-three at goal, while unsung forward Cayleb Johnson was a tremendous defender.

Johnson had made countless crucial tackles just before Ipswich scored their second try by Alton Naiyep, the headgeared prop denying Wavell from close range with gutsy scramble defence.

Wavell were always in it, but looked most capable of an upset when tied 6-all shortly after half time. Ipswich were clinical when scoring two tries in the time Kobi Floro (Wavell forward) was in the sin bin for back chat.

When Floro returned to the field, he had a highlight reel run when he bumped off a game Ipswich defender.

It was a great battle in the first half with Maaro David scoring for Ipswich and centre Keyarn Pene scoring a beauty for Wavell when he chased a deft grubber kick by Zac Herdegan.

Speaking of Herdegan, the year 11 halfback was impressive with his general play kicking – which threatened Ipswich‘s edge defence with cross-field kicks.

It was apparent Wavell were really starting to find their feet. Hookers Jai Camilleri and Harrison Hill were a strong combination confronting opposites Tyler Peckham-Harris and Sam Martin.

Acting as a playmaker for Wavell was Queensland Schoolboy Lauloto Salei, who made a handful of line breaks in a sizzling showing from the versatile second rower.

Ipswich centres LJ Nonu and Keisaia Su‘a were powerful, with Nonu’s acceleration and Sua’s fend providing their wingers Anton Naiyep and Xavier Kirk half-chances.

Ipswich SHS fullback Dom Sandow was also safe as houses returning the ball.

PBC DEFENSIVE PRESSURE PROVES DIFFERENCE

Palm Beach Currumbin SHS today encircled Marsden SHS, suffocated them and then struck fatal blows to win a place in the Langer Trophy grand final next week.

PBC SHS won 16-4, writing another chapter into the school‘s proud tradition of making grand finals.

They claimed victory by playing the long game, executing simple football, using their speed around the rucks and kicking to the corners in attack.

PBC led 4-0 after breaking a 27-minute deadlock, then took advantage of two Marsden SHS fumbles in the second half – one an in goal blunder, the other a bombed try – to twice score.

And that was the match.

Marsden SHS were dangerous challengers, but couldn’t cross the line.

With his forwards building a formidable shield, PBC SHS halfback Zane Harrison steered his team around, while dummy half Will Saunders and Ray Puru creeping around the ruck was dangerous.

Centre Sam Stephenson’s aerial and running threat was also a handful.

But PBC SHS’s defence was their best attack.

Marsden SHS had the skill and the desire – they just lacked that finals precision.

It was a battle worthy of a final, with both teams sparring at each other throughout the first half, refusing to drop their guard or blink.

Marsden SHS looked marginally more likely, but the two looming chances – one at the start and the other near halftime – were stifled by lost possession.

Tyson Ploegsma, Ray Puru and Brady Turner helped inspire PBC’s impressive win

In the end it was Palm Beach Currumbin SHS which nosed in front, 4-0, three minutes before halftime courtesy of edge forward Baylen Donald’s burst onto a Bailey McConnell pass.

The move led to centre Sam Stephenson being given the try by Donald.

PBC SHS:

1. Jake Lateo, 2 Sunny Kama, 3 Sam Stephenson, 4 Tyson Ploegsma, 5 Creedence Donovan, 6 Bailey McConnell, 7 Zane Harrison, 8 Brady Turner, 9 Will Saunders, 18 Jaylen Taewa, 11 Baylen Donald, 12 Jac Finigan, 13 Isaac Harrison, 14 Ray Puru, 10 Jett Jackson, 16 Jace Williams, 17 Ethan Schultz.

TITANS SCHOOLS CUP TEAM OF THE SEASON REVEALED

Brotherly love between the Taewa siblings will be cast aside when the boys confront each other in the first game.

Jaylen said, after playing juniors together for the Bilambil Jets, and alongside each other for the PBC SHS Walters Cup and Langer reserve teams, they did oppose each other for one season when Jury played for Nerang Roosters.

Brothers Jury and Jaylen Taewa will oppose each other.

And earlier in this Langer season they were on opposing sides, but Jury was on the opposite side of the field to his brother and they did not really come together.

“I have not played against him properly. It will be a bit odd,’’ Jaylen said.

Jury added: “He deserves the spot he’s in and it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to play against my twin in a semi-final.

“He’s a hard worker. It will be good going up against another prop with the same skillset and mindset as me. I am keen to see what little tricks he’s got.’’

Jaylen said it would be a tough night for their mum, Renee and father Jury senior, because they won’t know who to cheer for.

In an insight into the four camps, the respective coaches have revealed who will be on top of their danger man tip sheets discussed by their players in the lead-up to the match.

COACHES TOP DANGERMEN PICKS

Tim Maccan (Palm Beach Currumbin SHS)

Coby Black. Picture: Richard Walker

Will Saunders

The Marsden SHS halves pair have been in great form this season, Black having taken his game up a level from 2022 and Andrews having made a successful return from a serious neck injury.

Maccan said: “Leading up to last week I hadn’t watched much of Marsden since we played them in the first round. But I know Javon and Coby are the ones steering the ship.

“When they are playing well, when they are on fire, their team goes really well.’’

Matthew Hartigan (Marsden SHS)

Will Saunders and Baylen Donald

Hartigan had tremendous respect for old foes PBC SHS and could name multiple players, but he has really admired the work of hooker Will Saunders:

Saunders ability to play off a quick player the ball, advance on the defence himself or engage defenders before passing has caught the eye of Hartigan.

The name Saunders is very well known on the Gold Coast and across the border town, Tweed Heads, where Don played for both the Gold Coast Seagulls.

Baylen Donald. Picture Glenn Hampson

Hartigan also has big wraps on flame-haired edge back rower Baylen Donald who has been a force all year long in both the Tweed Seagulls Meninga Cup and PBC Langer Trophy teams.

Ipswich SHS captain Oliva Iaulualo will return from a week’s lay off and reunite with his childhood mate David Leota in the middle of the field for the defending champions.

Wavell SHS coach Paul Stanley will have his side ready for their impact.

“They have a very strong pack, but Oliva Iaulualo and David Leota are very powerful. And they have Naiyep out wide as well. He is a dangerous player.’’

Loto Salei and Zac Herdegen

Wavell SHS’s captain Loto Salei has been elite all season long playing a Pat Carrigan type of role for the Broncos.

He is a great link between the backs and forwards and can both run hard and create chances – as can halfback Herdegen.

Bretherton said Loto Salei was very damaging while Herdegen controls a lot of things and kicks really well.

“If we don’t do a good job of controlling him (Herdegen) he will kick us to death.”

Marsden SHS

Cory Pearse, Will Semu, Lui Lee, Javon Andrews, Taylon To’a, Braden Teuila, Mace Andrew, Elijah Leatigaga, Tyron Fanueli, and Thomas Taunagita

Cory Pearse said: “I have loved all the community things that Marsden has done. Not just in their sport, but academically for the students and their parents. It is like one big family.

“We have thousands of kids at school and we are all there for one and other.

Manager Thomas Taunagita started in his role as manager last year after damaging his ACL playing. “I thought it was the end of my rugby league journey,’’ he said.

“I was devastated but my teachers gave me a chance to be a manager. In year 10 I was the Titans Cup manager and that followed on through to Mr Hartigan asking me to be the Langer manager.

“I have loved being involved in the rugby league program.’’

Jai Camilleri said: “I came to Wavell in Year 8 and I was impressed with the culture, not only in the footy program, but how we enjoy our footy, school work. That is reflected in what we do on and off the field.

“This year did not start well, but the way we stuck to our program, focused on what Mr Stanley told us, we knew what we had to do to improve. There is a bond.’’

Coach Joshua Bretherton said Laing had been at Ipswich SHS since the very start from Year 7.

“He’s got brothers and sisters at the school, he played his club football four minutes over the hill from school at the closest club, he went to primary school across the road.

“He’s born and bred within 300 metres of the school sort of thing and after helping us win the national title last year he has done a great job again this year.

“He’s worked hard and grown into a really high level footballer which is awesome.”

Another star of last year’s national championship team was winger Anton Naiyep who is originally from Papua New Gunea, and came to Ipswich via Cairns.

“He’s lived in Ipswich since he was 10 and has been with us the whole way through… He played his local football within a stones throw from the school (Norths Tigers) and is a local kid.”
