The teams are in for the Langer Trophy round 3 action, all livestreamed by www.couriermail.com.au, the Gold Coast Bulletin and News affiliates on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Brisbane Broncos’ recruit Xavier Va’a is back for St Mary’s College against Mabel Park SHS in Toowoomba, while Coombabah SHS have a host of talent returning for its local derby against Palm Beach Currumbin SHS. Filisi Frost, Dre Goldsmith, Kyen Murphy and Joseph Shannon return to bolster Coombabah SHS.

And for Tuesday’s blockbuster between Marsden SHS and Wavell SHS, the brother of big hearted Queensland State of Origin forward Moeaki Fotuaika, Sione, is back in the selection picture for Marsden SHS.

Bristowe Murray is back for Wavell SHS, who also have Nayten Iselin-Jansen, Norman Rua, 20. Jayden Ambichi in an extended squad.

But Marsden SHS has a serious message ahead of its clash.

The match of the round, Marsden SHS v Wavell SHS is an important date on Marsden SHS’ calendar because it highlights, Mates Talk Change, which recognises the importance of mental health and wellbeing.

The #MTC suicide prevention initiative at Marsden SHS was started by Queensland State of Origin series winning hero Corey Allan and some of his mates at Marsden SHS in 2015 and is now entrenched on the Marsden SHS calendar.

It was started following the suicide of former Logan league juniors Alex Elisala and Francis Winterstein, which rocked the Marsden SHS and Logan community around six years ago.

Principal Andrew Peach said the successful positive mental health program #MTC now resulted in students at the school and wider community being more engaged and comfortable about discussing mental health issues.

Meanwhile, the three other Langer Trophy games – Keebra Park SHS v Ipswich SHS, PBC SHS hosting Coombabah SHS, and St Mary’s College against Mabel Park SHS will all be livestreamed on Wednesday as usual, including associated Langer reserve and Walters Cup games.
