QRL Emerging Under 18 squad announced

Queensland’s top 18-year-old players will come together from across the state in a camp focused on improving their individual abilities.

The camp is designed to acknowledge and improve the unique abilities of all 30 players selected. By developing the top performers, Queensland’s depth in youth rugby league talent continues to grow, helping to provide stronger future performances for the state.

Notably, 12 of the 30 players were recently involved in the Mal Meninga Cup grand final between the Burleigh Bears and the Tweed Seagulls.

The state’s leading players will be fortunate enough to be mentored by former NRL talents, Darius Boyd and Jordan Rankin, as the pair take on the joint role of head coach.

Adding depth to the coaching roster are top Mal Meninga coaches Sam Meskell (Tweed Seagulls), Gus McKellar (Western Clydesdales), Ben Weston (Brisbane Tigers) and Peter Rogers (Central Queensland Capras).

The camp will also focus on generating the boys’ connections and harmony as a group.

Wally Lewis’ immense amount of experience as a league player and a teammate will be invaluable to teaching the young men about coming together as a team.

Alongside the strong coaching staff will be Former Origin Greats (FOGS), Matt Gillett and Andrew McCullough, as they will join the camp and share their vast expertise both on and off the field gathered from an impressive number of years as professionals in the industry.

The camp starts Saturday morning and will run for the entirety of the weekend.

QLD Under 18 Emerging Origin squad named

The Queensland Rugby League is pleased to announce its Under 18 Emerging Origin squad as part of the elite Queensland pathways program.

Head coach Guy Williams will manage a 30-member squad throughout a two-day training camp at the Queensland Sports and Athletics Centre (QSAC) in Brisbane on May 7-8.

The Emerging Origin program aims to help develop highly skilled rugby league players for Queensland representation.

Williams, a former Hostplus Cup player and coach with the Central Queensland Capras, will be supported by experienced staff who will coach and mentor some of the state’s most talented male players.

The Under 18 squad includes 11 players who have been named to play in Sunday’s Auswide Bank Mal Meninga Cup grand final between the Townsville Blackhawks and Souths Logan Magpies.

The Blackhawks players selected are Sean Bourke, Zack Lamont, Damon Marshall, Tekelu Mene, Jamal Shibasaki, Elekana Suavai and Wil Sullivan.

Fellow Emerging Origin squad members Lourace Brown, Stanley Huen, Israel Leota and Devonte Vaivela will be on show for the Magpies, who are coming off a 26-24 victory over the Norths Devils.

Townsville qualified for the decider on the back of a 38-14 semi-final victory over the Sunshine Coast Falcons.

The performances of both the Devils and Falcons caught the eye of selectors, with eight players across the two clubs named in the Under 18 squad as well.
