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.

STRUDDY’S CUP GRAND FINAL DAY, BEST PLAYERS YEAR 7,8 and 9

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.

The tall, powerful, long striding Queensland schoolboys centre has given PBC SHS an ex-factor player both in the air and when the ball is moved through the hands. To think he is only in Year 11.

5. Will Semu (Marsden SHS)

Marsden’s Will Semu playing for Qld. Picture, John Gass

Semu was fantastic and throughly deserved his place in the Queensland schoolboys. A junior league prodigy, he suffered a serious head knock in 2021 which stifled his 2022 season, but he was back to his best this season and his selection in our Team of the Season was one of the most pleasing of all.

6. Bailey McConnell (PBC SHS)

The Justin Hodges Medallist, McConell started the season as PBC SHS’s No. 1 game manager in the absence of injured skipper Zane Harrison, then when Harrison returned he took his game to another level. His consistency across the season ensured he was constantly in the 3-2-1 votes.

7. Zane Harrison (PBC SHS)

Harisson missed the first three games of the season but hoisted his team’s mainsail after the after the school holidays and sailed his team to Langer Trophy and Phil Hall Cup premierships. The best game manager in the competition.

8. Alex Leapai (Mabel Park SHS)

The No. 1 prop in the competition, Leapai was Mabel Park’s front row battleship, their spiritual leader. The Gold Coast Titans have a good one here.

9. Will Saunders (PBC SHS)

Saunders glorious dummy half play has been a highlight over the last two months. He can play within himself, then take the game on when opposition A and B defenders start to wane.

10. Lewis Symonds (Marsden SHS)

Symonds was an unlucky omission from the Queensland schoolboys squad and enjoyed his best season in Langer playing at No. 13.

There were times, like at Kayo Stadium against Redcliffe, where he was unstoppable.

11. Zac Garton (Caloundra SHS)

Caloundra SHS rugby league talent Zac Garton. Picture: Kylie McLellan

Garton grabbed his teammates by the arm and showed them they had nothing to fear during Caloundra SHS’s debut season in the competition. It was a demanding season for the newcomers, but Queensland edge forward Garton was always setting the highest of standards.

12. Jett Bryce (Keebra Park SHS)

Keebra captain Jett Bryce, PBC captain Zane Harrison. Picture Glenn Hampson

Bryce was absolutely sensational, the best forward in the competition. His performance in a losing semi-final performance against PBC SHS was remarkable.

13. John Fineanganofo (Redcliffe SHS)

QLD player John Fineanganofo of Redcliffe. Picture, John Gass

Redcliffe SHS’s Australian schoolboys representative played injured from round 4, but still makes our squad with ease. Clever ballplayer who could also play tough in the middle or run on the fringe of the ruck.

14. Coby Black (Marsden SHS)

Coby Black from Marsden State High School – Picture: Richard Walker

Black started the season as the player his No. 7 peers most looked after and most of the season displayed those class touches.

He will be disappointed with his semi-final performance but you learn more from falling over, then getting up again, than you do sailing through life on a white fluffy cloud.

15. Oliva Iaulualo (Ipswich SHS)

Ipswich SHS 12. Oliva Iaulualo Picture: Liam Kidston.

Iaulualo is a mobile edge forward who did his thing all season.

He is a very good player and the Bulldogs have two promising forwards in him and David Leota.

16. Baylen Donald (PBC SHS)

Donald’s left edge running threat and defence simply could not be ignored.

For several years he did his apprenticeship playing Walters Cup and Langer Reserves, Tweed Connell Challenge and then Meninga Cup. All that education ensured he was the finished product for PBC SHS’s remarkable run through the finals.

17. Brady Turner (PBC SHS)

The big bloke edged out his teammate Jett Jackson for this reserve prop position. His physical presence was a boon for PBC SHS.

18. Tyler Peckham-Harris (Ipswich SHS)

Tyler Peckham-Harris. Picture David Clark

Tyler Peckham-Harris definitely deserves to be in the starting team but we couldn’t find a spot.

He is without a doubt one of the best defenders in the competition and he is also an elite attacking weapon.

Despite being small, the Peckham-Harris mindset is enough to see him play at the highest level.

19. Ray Puru (PBC SHS)

Ray Puru in action in this years Schoolboy Cup National Final against Westfields SHS at Allianz Staduim (Photo : Steve Montgomery)

The fast finishing Puru played his way onto the bench after a succession of high class finals matches coming off the bench after returning from injury.

20. Lauloto Salei (Wavell SHS)

Lauloto Salei from Wavell State High School – Picture: Richard Walker

He was in our Team of the Season until Pay Puru’s dramatic finals form, so to keep him in we extended the reserves bench by one just to accommodate him. That’s how highly we think of the Wavell SHS captain.

21. Aholoka Toia (Redcliffe SHS)

QLD player Aholoka Toia of Redcliffe SHS. Picture, John Gass

He is last but not least. Toia was always going to make our top squad. He played for the Queensland schoolboys where he was one of Queensland’s top three players and was whole-hearted the whole season.

Emergencies

Jac Finigan (PBC SHS),
Zac Herdegen (Wavell) and Jett Jackson (PBC SHS)

Jac Finigan (PBC SHS) in action in this years Schoolboy Cup National Final against Westfields SHS at Allianz Staduim (Photo : Steve Montgomery)

We almost feel like apologising to him for not finding a place in the squad, so good has he been.

The most unlucky omission

Lachlan Buchbach (Mabel Park SHS)

He put his finger prints on the competition early when he tore PBC SHS and was outstanding during Mabel Park SHS fabulous season which saw them finish No. 2 after the home-and-away season had finished.

Mabel Park SHS players Lachlan, Ryan, Ocean and Jackson.

Players we’d love to have found a place for

Zac Herdegen (Wavell SHS)
Zac Herdegen of Wavell SHS. Picture, John Gass

Herdegen was as good as any half in the competition but ultimately we went for the Queensland schoolboy No. 7, Black, and the Langer Trophy premiership winning captain, Harrison. But we can’t wait to see the Year 11 student again next season.

Jett Jackson (PBC SHS)

Jett Jackson (PBC SHS) in action in this years Schoolboy Cup National Final against Westfields SHS at Allianz Staduim (Photo : Steve Montgomery)

We just loved Jackson’s work ethic. What he does on the field says everything about PBC SHS’s DNA.

Elijah Tagiilima (Mabel Park SHS)

Elijah Tagiilima Profile shots ahead of the Langer Cup rugby league. Thursday May 4, 2023. Picture, John Gass

His combination with Francis-Kingston and those thumping runs from his own end were eye-catching. We’d love to have found a place for this Southport Tigers’ junior in the top team.

The same can be said about rampaging centre Lehi Thomas and classy fullback Ryan McCann.

Chase Paterson (Calundra SHS)

Queensland School Rugby League Championship Finals at Jack Manski Oval, Townsville. Sunshine Coast’s Chase Paterson. Picture: Evan Morgan

The high energy, talented Paterson could play both middle or edge with ease.

He was one of the most exciting forward talents in the competition.

Hayden Potts (Redcliffe SHS)

Queensland School Rugby League Championship Finals at Jack Manski Oval, Townsville. Sunshine Coast’s Hayden Potts. Picture: Evan Morgan

The Redcliffe skipper played the most minutes out of anyone in his team, was a terrific leader and could really do it all.

He was one of the competition’s best players before the school holidays and coming back he was still at the top of his game.

Discovery player

Brad Higgins (Caloundra)

Caloundra SHS rugby league talent Brad Higgins in action. Picture: Kylie McLellan

What a hidden gem this Caloundra SHS prop has been. The tall, raw-boned Higgins ruffled plenty of feathers and was intimidated by no one.

Jackson Howe (Mabel Park SHS)

Howe was Buchbach’s partner in crime and they were a formidable pairing.

Howe has a tough of class, is a goalkicking whiz and can both create and score tries with his kicking.

The Mr Versatile award winners

Jealym Hohaia (Caloundra SHS)

He played in nearly every position this year and was outstanding in all games.

Tyler Peckham-Harris (Ipswich SHS)

He made our Team of the Season and he can play anywhere. Fullback, hooker and in the forwards even.

He tackles like he is seven foot.

Ellyjah Birve (Caloundra SHS)

Caloundra SHS rugby league talent Ellyjah Birve in action. Picture: Kylie McLellan

Versatile because more than once he would play a full game of Walters Cup, catch his breath while the Langer reserves play and then play a full game of Langer Trophy.

Jai Camilleri (Wavell SHS)

Langer Trophy action between Ipswich SHS and Wavell SHS on June 14 2023.

He could player hooker if needed but also in the halves because Harrison Hill is a terrific player.

A ripping gridiron talent, Camilleri used his strength to bust through contact.

Rookie of the Year

Kobi Floro (Wavell SHS)

Floro in the yellow boots.

The big bloke was lean, mean and fit, steaming off the bench then impacting games with tries.

We are looking forward to seeing him in 2024.

Comeback of the Season

Javon Andrews (Marsden SHS)

Javon Andrews, Marsden SHS Langer Trophy five-eight who has recovered from a broken neck to play. Thursday July 27, 2023. Picture, John Gass

Five-eight Andrews overcame a serious neck injury to not only compete, but he one of the competition’s ace players.

Special mention to his teammate Will Semu as mentioned earlier in the story, and PBC SHS’s Pay Puru, also mentioned earlier.

Marsden’s Elijah Leatigaga also had a serious hip injury in 2021 and should be acknowledged.

But no one beats Andrews’ to his award. We will feature his comeback story later this month. Watch this space.

Best new faces

Kylem Vunipola (Marsden SHS)

Kylem Vunipola and Saxon Innes. Picture, John Gass

Vunipola’s would have learned so much playing in this high class school competition as a centre when his preferred position was fullback. We are looking forward to seeing him again in the Meninga Cup.

Keyarn Pene (Wavell SHS)

Not the flashy try scoring centre, but was an elite defensive centre who led the way in effort areas. He’ll be back next year for sure.

David Leota (Ipswich SHS)

Leota was a middle forward powerhouse from start to finish for Ipswich SHS. The Bulldogs have signed a good one here.

Aleki Schuster (Redcliffe SHS)
Schuster carried the ball well during the season and got better every game. He will be even better next year.

Jaycob Kingston-Francis (Mabel park SHS)

Elijah Tagiilima, Jaycob Kingston-Francis, Alexanda Leapai. Picture, John Gass
Although he played one Langer game in 2022, the centre was so good in 2023 we just had to give him a special shout out.

Loka Toia and John Fineanganofo of Redcliffe SHS.

Shaye Faa’aoga (Ipswich SHS)

The likes of Brandon Tikinau, Izaiah Mafi, Xavier Kirk and LJ Nonu all deserve wraps for their efforts this season after winning the Langer Reserves premiership last year.

But Faa’aoga was a brand new face, at least to us.

He played in almost every game and was reliable. He is strong, has power through the hips and was the perfect second rower.

MOST UNDERRATED PERFORMANCE IN THE FINALS

LJ Nonu (Ipswich SHS)

Ipswich trio Iosefa Kolio, LJ Nonu and Xavier Kirk after their win over Caloundra State High. Picture: Nick Tucker

Nonu had a daunting task opposing inform PBC SHS strike weapon Sam Stephenson in the semi-final. Stephenson got away from him once early on, but after that Nonu bottled him up and late in the game made a run that almost won the game for Ipswich SHS.

The Harrisons (PBC)

Zane Harrison was outstanding as halfback and captain, but his twin brother Isaac was unsung as a hard working No.13.

BEST INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE
Alex Leapai against Marsden SHS.

It was Leapai versus the Marsden SHS pack when the Logan local derby unfolded. Leapai was at times taking two rucks a set before he knocked himself out with a big hit..

Jett Bryce against PBC SHS.

Did we see a better performance this season than that produced by Bryce against PBC SHS in the semi-final? No. It was sensational.

Wavell knock out Champs

Langer Trophy, Walters Cup live stream: Ipswich SHS v Marsden SHS, Langer Trophy, Walters Cup

Brisbane Broncos had their hands all over this one as Marsden issued a warning to their Langer Trophy rivals by putting last year’s national champions to the sword. Relive all the action.

Watch the full replay of the Langer Trophy Round 7 – Ipswich SHS v Marsden SHS (Langer).

The future of the Brisbane Broncos was glimpsed at the North Ipswich Reserve when contracted halfback Coby Black and winger Saxon Innes combined for the try of the season in Marsden State High School’s 30-12 victory over Ipswich State High.

Innes retrieved a kick 15 metres out from his own line, returned it to centre field before a deadly sidestep saw him plunge through two defenders and scorch away down the midfield.

On his hip in support was Wynnum-Manly Seagulls club teammate Black, who finished the try which moved Marsden ahead 20-6 just shy of the halftime break.

Innes is a light stepper and possesses freakish speed – and that’s why he is one of the Langer Trophy’s best finishers.

Earlier, Ipswich hit the scoreboard first through centre LJ Nonu after an Izzy Mafi bomb bounced into his grasp. They led 6-0, but quickly Marsden found their groove once Queensland Schoolboys centre Will Semu dotted one down.

Black then slotted a penalty goal, and made a tremendous trysaving cover tackle on prolific Ipswich winger Alton Naiyep, who was brought down a metre shy of the line.

Marsden turned this pressure situation into a score and a subsequent eight-point-buffer when a trademark Lewis Symonds offload put Patrick Kailahi in under the posts.

Marsden led 20-6 at the break after that spectacular try to end the first, and then 24-6 when Symonds scored a try of his own eight minutes into the second half.

This time it was a hard run from centre Kylem Vunipola, and an inside step from the explosive Xavier Atoa, which undid the Ipswich defence.

A try was just what the doctor ordered for the home side and it was darting dummy-half Lesayne Tuiasau who was the man for the job.

It was a four-pointer which swung momentum back in Ipswich’s favour, but they would rue not making the most of their opportunities when they had possession close to Marsden’s line.

Atoa then put the nail in the coffin at 30-12 when he planted a deft grubber kick impressively engineered in field by Semu, who was in full stride down the left touchline.

Trusty Ipswich forwards Oliva Iaulualo, Kane Self and David Leota were tireless, while Tyler Peckham-Harris added a punch out of hooker in a loss which will serve as motivation heading into the quarter finals on August 9.

WALTERS CUP

Marsden oozed class in their dominant 32-0 victory over Stretton College.

The Makos ran in six tries, and left two out there when their final two tries were disallowed.

They were in fine form, with quick ball out of dummy half from Tayshaarn Tonga, and deadly finishing from winger Quinn Timperon delivering the win at the North Ipswich Reserve.

Line breaks came hard and fast, and once they scored their first, it looked a done deal for the well-oiled Logan side, which was certainly boosted by a quick-thinking fullback in Caleb Cresswell.

REPLAY: Stretton College v Marsden SHS (Walters)

Watch the replay of the Langer Trophy Round 7 – Stretton College v Marsden SHS (Walters)

Cresswell scored the try of the day with a chip and chase that left the Stretton defenders stunned.

Stretton were game, but Marsden had a ton of possession and a strong connection between their offloading forwards and their impressive backs.

Centre Antonio Okusitino, five-eighth Jack Hepi Simon, Timperon (two tries), Cresswell and interchange forward Frontier Wiperi were try scorers for Marsden.

PREVIEW

Ipswich SHS are riding a five-game winning streak, Marsden SHS have been the pacesetters for much of the year – something has to give in Wednesday’s marquee Langer Trophy match-up.

LANGER TROPHY, WALTERS CUP PICTURE GALLERY

This will be the last match of the regular season before all eight teams assemble on August 9 at Bishop Park (Norths) in a playoff between teams one through eight.

The eighth ranked school will be replaced at position #6 by the winner of the Gee Cup v Titans Cup match on Tuesday. See that preview here.

If all goes well for these two teams, they may be meeting again on August 23 at Langlands Park, this time for much, much bigger stakes – the Grand Final.

The two schools will clash at 5pm after Stretton State College and Marsden SHS go head-to-head in the final game of the Walters Cup home and away season.

Both games will be LIVE STREAMED on KommunityTV.

KEY MATCH UPS

WILL SEMU (MARSDEN) V LJ NONU (IPSWICH)

LJ Nonu has been impressive for Ipswich. Picture David Clark

Two of the competition’s strongest centres will be on a collision course at North Ipswich Reserve.

Queensland Schoolboys representative, and arguably one of the most improved players all season, Semu is an awfully strong and quick centre.

Not unlike Semu, Nonu has a good turn of speed and powerful leg drive.

Saxon Innes and Kylem Vunipola at Marsden SHS

Saxon Innes and Kylem Vunipola at Marsden SHS.

Innes is the speed machine who will be hard to stop if he gets in space. Watch for Coby Black to put him through a hole.

Naiyep on the other hand is also very quick, but a brutal ballrunner who will help Ipswich get onto the front foot when coming out of their half.

LEWIS SYMONDS (MARSDEN) V KANE SELF (IPSWICH)

Lewis Symonds at Marsden SHS Thursday April 27, 2023. Picture, John Gass

Broncos-signed Symonds is an interesting player, a ball-playing lock who can threaten with his own runs, or link the forwards with the backs.

He could have easily been a Queensland Schoolboys representative.

His opposite number is Newcastle-contracted Kane Self, who is a very good player also.

Self is a toiler, a workhorse whose defence and carries from in close will break down the Marsden defences.

There’s a good chance Jack Laing starts at lock, with Self an almighty bench-boost.

Langer Trophy local derby: Mabel Park SHS v Marsden SHS

The Langer Trophy clash between Mabel Park and Marsden was abandoned late in the first half on Wednesday following a gigantic collision between two props. Both boys have since been medically cleared.

Watch the replay of the Langer Trophy Round 6 – Marsden SHS v Mabel Park SHS

The Langer Trophy Logan derby between Marsden SHS and Mabel Park SHS was abandoned on Wednesday night after a gigantic collision between front rowers Alex Leapai and Jury Taewa halted play after about 25 minutes.

Leapai, the Mabel Park captain, and Marsden’s Taewa were both taken to hospital as a precaution after Leapai produced a huge tackle on Taewa, who was running the ball back from a restart.

But after a period of observation in hospital, both boys have been medically cleared.

Leapai, who received a head knock, was in good spirits last night, smiling to his teammates as he was stretchered into an ambulance while Taewa was conveyed to hospital for observation.

Alex Leapai’s father, Alex senior, praised Level II sports trainer Adrian Armstrong, who was employed at home games by Marsden, for his care of his son after initial concerns for his health.

Armstrong sprinted on and stayed with Leapai until the arrival of two ambulances.

Both teams gave the players a rousing reception as they were taken away. Marsden were leading 14-10 at the time.

A first half blinder from Marsden SHS left centre Antonio Okusitino helped played his side into a winning position against a gallant Mabel Park SHS in a vital Walters Cup showdown on Wednesday

Marsden SHS won 24-4, but Mabel plugged a leaky boat to stay with their rivals for all of the second half after Marsden at one stage led 20-0.

Outside a go-forward pack, and feasting on front football, Marsden SHS centre Okusitino twice scored and on a third occasion burst clear to put his winger Quinn Temperon under the posts.

Replay: Walters Cup Round 6 – Marsden SHS v Mabel Park SHS

Temperon had plenty of work to do and showed a clean pair of heels when he cut back inside, but it was Okusition’s try.

Mobile prop Mace Andrew, big bopper Cooper Young and Tupou Francis, with his energy, did well in the middle, and behind him the engine purred.

Right winger Ryder Bodley also got in the action, chasing a clear kicking that bounced favourably into his arms.

But Mabel Park SHS got one back two minutes before halftime when left centre Dean Tauaa crashed down the defensive barrier outside and ran 18m to score.

It was an inspired individual effort which could have given the Mabel Park SHS confidence, and the Marsden coach Jesse Maclean ammunition to make sure his side was not complacent after leading 20-0.

Mabel Park then battled away until Marsden winger Temperon scored the only try of the second half two minutes from fulltime.

PREVIEW

While they aren’t in need of any extra motivation for a big local derby showdown against Mabel Park, Marsden State High will find it on their sleeve, their chest and over their heart.

The unbeaten Marsden will tackle Langer Trophy giant-killers Mabel Park on Wednesday in a Logan City local derby.

The www.couriermail.com.au will live stream, via Kommunity TV, both the Langer Trophy (5pm) and Walters Cup (4pm) derbies.

“We are excited to be back home in front of our Mako family where we will celebrate our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island community.’’

“It is always a special round to celebrate our First Nations students and families.’’

Marsden has drawn one and won four games this season, while Mabel Park have been the big improvers, with a 4-1 win-loss record in just its third season in the Langer Trophy.

Marsden SHS is an established Langer powerhouse but Mabel only earned promotion in 2021.

They progressed to win three games last year, and this year the squad celebrated the school’s Queensland schoolboy representative Alex Leapai.

In the last three seasons Mabel Park SHS has benefited from the arrival of six students originally from Marsden SHS – Hamuera Kingi, Sylus I’liga, Marley Lupeomanu, Jackson Howe, Lachlan Buchbach and Tyrese Tovao.

PBC SHS coach Tim Maccan has had some jets in his team in recent seasons, and will have plenty of pace in the side again this season.

Redcliffe will have no shortage of pace this season, with three quicksilver athletes capable of breaking a match open with their pace.

First past the post would be O’Connell, but Risale also has plenty of pace from fullback or centre. Makai Duggan was “just a natural athlete’’ according to Redcliffe coach Jay Wilkinson.

Ipswich SHS

Anton Naiyep:

The centre or winger can move and would be Ipswich SHS’s quickest mover. Xavier Kirk would give him a run for his money.

Xavier Kirk:

Ipswich SHS boys Iosefa Kolio, LJ Nonu and Xavier Kirk

Kirk was as quick as they come in the Langer Reserves competition last year and in Ipswich’s Langer Trophy team, he has already shown glimpses of his blistering speed.

Round 1 was a prime example when he broke away for a solo try against Keebra Park.

Like Peckham-Harris, he isn’t the tallest but if he gets on the outside of you it’s pretty much game over.

Tyler Peckham-Harris:

The little bloke is deceptively quick. He is fast off the mark, but can also sustain pace over a long distance.

Will join 2022 teammates James Frazer, Joven Gyemore and the towering Loko Pasifiki Tonga at the Dragons once the year is out.

MAGIC MEN OF THE HALVES

Wavell SHS

Tyreece Tait:

They don’t come much better – or faster than Tait. The Broncos signed finisher has a long stride and bounces down field at a great rate of knots.

Mereki Waradoo:

The young representative fullback is dynamic and will give his side plenty of thrust from the back – watch for him pouring down the middle.

Not only is he quick but there’s only few that power through contact like this guy.

John-Paul Donevski:

John-Paul Donevski

John Paul relocated from New South Wales after playing in the NSWCCC for Patrician Brothers Blacktown.

The Penrith junior has pace, which is even more lethal when paired with height – which Doveski has.

Tovao is another genuine quick. He is explosive, capable of running in tries from any distance. Jaycob Kingston-Francis is a light stepper whose pace was a big reason for moving from lock into the centres.

These two offer plenty in the speed stakes. Inness is blinding over 10m while winger Izayah can reach top gear quickly, and sustain that speed. And Marsden also has a bolter when it comes to pace. “Will Semu when he is on. He can move,’’ said Marsden SHS coach Matt Hartigan.

Langer Trophy round three preview.

Schoolboy Cup Livestream

Caloundra will be hoping their first ever home ground matchup is enough to put a stop to Marsden‘s undefeated run as the two face off in round three of the 2023 Langer Trophy.

The Sunshine Coast based school has been handed two quick reality checks in the opening rounds going down 42-10 against Wavell and 32-4 to Palm Beach Currumbin.

Marsden come in following a 10-10 draw against Palm Beach Currumbin followed by a gritty 18-14 win last week over Keebra Park.

Marsden head coach Matt Hartigan said he was looking forward to the matchup.

“We were really happy to get the result last week but we still know we’ve got a heap of work to do and we’re just really excited for the opportunity to play against Caloundra in their first ever home game,” he said.

“It’s really good to see how far the competition has come in terms of the geographical spread and I think it will be a really tight defensive tussle that will be won through the middle.

“We know they’ve got a Queensland representative in Zac Garton so we know it’s going to be a tough game but I’m excited for the battle between Garton and Braden Teuila.”

Brooklenn Mundraby-Grogan and Zac Garton of Caloundra SHS.

Caloundra head coach Toby Poole said his team were looking to improve again and had added confidence playing at home.

“I thought we did an excellent job for the first 50 minutes last week as we competed hard and were really in the thick of it,” he said.

“Something that’s new for these guys is maintaining that high intensity for the full match as they don’t get exposed to that a whole lot on the Sunshine Coast.

“Playing at home is very exciting, hopefully we get a good turnout and we’ve already had a few past players and graduates reach out to see what time they should be there which is cool.”

Coby Black at Marsden SHS Thursday April 27, 2023. Picture, John Gass

Poole said he hoped his middle forwards could tighten up and limit the influence of Marsden captain Coby Black.

“They’ve got a big and powerful pack Marsden and then they’ve got Coby Black on the back of that playing some shape and is a very well organised and accomplished half back,” he said.

“If we can control their middle, that will hopefully limit Coby’s attacking impact for them.”

In the Walters Cup, Caloundra would be looking for improvement after going down 46-6 against PBC last week, while Marsden went down to Keebra 8-6 following a successful penalty kick after the siren.

WATCH IT LIVE
4.30pm: Cowboys Challenge. 5.45pm: Aaron Payne Cup

Rest assured, this is a competition in which team No. 1 can be beaten by team No.8. The coaches know that, they are not merely uttering the words. They mean it when they tell their players that.

The Courier-Mail, along with News Corp affiliates, will stream every match from the opens division this season on the KommunityTV platform. Round 1 is Tuesday.

In this story we give you a fearless prediction on school squads, while revealing some dark horse players of a competition which has no clear cut favourite.

Marsden SHS:

Marsden seems in good shape.

They have a good spine featuring fullback Saxon Innes, Javon Andrews, halfback Coby Black and hooker Jacob Tinsley, and two elite new players – centre Kylem Vunipola and Lewis Symonds.

Throw into the mix a revitalised Will Semu who made the Queensland 16-18 schoolboys side this week.

Two grand Logan Brothers juniors – Jacob Tinsley and Chris Faagutu

Then into the forwards come some likely types and the mix is potent. A top four berth will be the minimum expectations for this squad.

Of course for the spine to function Marsden’s ball carriers will need to win the ruck and get the ball in Tinsley’s hands swiftly.

Dark horse players

Jacob Tinslay: Dummy half Tinsley is a glue player, a Andrew McCullough type No. 9 who is as honest as the day is long. Importantly he now has a full season of Langer behind him.

He has also been tutored by the best in the business over summer – Marsden SHS staff member and New Zealand No. 9 legend Isaac Luke.

His star halfback Coby Black will only be as good as the service Tinsley delivers.

Braden Teuila: Every team would like a Braden Teuila. He is a strong, dependable edge forward older and wiser from his 2022 experiences.

Ipswich SHS

In cricket it would be like batting after Steve Smith, or performing on the stage following on from Harry Styles or Taylor Swift.

After all, how do you follow in the footsteps of the historic 2022 Ipswich SHS army who won three premierships – Langer, Phil Hall (state) and National Schoolboys titles in an unbeaten season. It was simply the best season.

But this is a chance for these class of 2023 Ipswich kids to put their own stamp on history.

They can be no more than themselves, and with coach Joshua Bretherton at the helm, Oliva Iaulualo and Jack Laing as forward leaders, expect Ipswich to challenge strongly again this season.

We expect Iaulualo to raise his game a notch again alongside his mate David Leota after the pair spearheaded Canterbury to the under 17 premiership in May.

Ipswich will be in this competition up to their ears – don’t worry about that.

The 2023 season is the most open for a while and Ippy are shoulder to shoulder with the best of them. Every bit a chance of going back to back.

Ipswich SHS’s Jack Laing in action. Picture: Jerad Williams

Dark horse: Kesaia Su’a

He is from Auckland famous St Paul’s breeding ground and comes to Ipswich with a union and league background.

He is a fierce runner and it took him only one month in the Meninga Cup to earn a Canberra Raiders contract. Su’a has particularly good hands and will put a teammate into a gap with ease.

Tyler Peckham-Harris: He made our Meninga Cup team of the year squad two years running, so why is he a dark horse?

Because last year he played fullback. This year he is the dummy half. Any tired marines around the ruck will be found out.

Lachlan Buchbach at the 2022 Logan Brothers awards

Mabel Park SHS

Mabel Park entered the competition in 2021, enjoyed a historic three matches last season and will be better again in 2023.

Like Redcliffe, the school had a rugged introduction to Langer in 2021 but have now gained a foothold and there should be no ghosts in the cupboard, particularly given they finished last year with a win over Keebra Park SHS. Put them down for four wins.

Dark horse players:Halves Jackson Howe and Lachlan Buchbach.

Both boys have a grounding from the first class Marsden SHS system and have sought opportunity across Logan City at Mabel.

They have a huge challenge handling both sides of the ruck, but should be excited and back their ability. This, the Langer, is where they want to be, after all.

Caloundra SHS

Caloundra SHS deservedly won their way into the Langer Trophy for the first time and will be no pushover.

They have an experienced core of Brooklenn Mundraby-Grogan, Jack Philp, Tulloch McLellan, Zac Garton and Chase Paterson who will not be intimidated.

Caloundra will not be a big side, but will challenge with skill and unloads. Caloundra will win a match for sure in their foundation season.

Dark horse player: Tyrell Hopkins

While eyes will be directed toward his edge partner on the other side of the field – Zac Garton, and a roving Chase Paterson in the middle, don’t discount bush boy Hopkins on the right edge.

Take him for granted at your peril.

Caloundra will be moving the ball around on both sides of the field which will bring the Nanango junior into play, a challenge he will relish.

He is coming off a Meninga Cup season with the Falcons and is locked and loaded in what is a historic season for Caloundra SHS.

Redcliffe SHS

When Redcliffe hold their first match of the season, they should invite all members of last season’s Firsts back and have them form a guard of honour for the class of 2023.

That group did the hard yards in the school’s first ever season of Langer and it is because of them that Redcliffe SHS will be better again in 2023.

Redcliffe will win its first ever match this season.

And they could win two or three others as well.

Dark horse players: Loka Toia, Henry Sologinkin and Jayden Evans

Middle forwards get better with age and experience and Toia is primed and ready to lead Redcliffe’s middle forward brigade.

Henry Sologinkin.

He came through a school of hard knocks last season, but by the end of the season was one of the competition’s unsung heroes.

Toia has a wealth of experience behind him, including helping Redcliffe Dolphins win the Langer Trophy in April.

There is a touch of Corey Horsburgh about Sologinkin, an all effort kid who gets in the zone once he cross the touchline. ]

He will be as fit as a fiddle after playing for the Redcliffe club pre-season.

Evans is new to the school, a halfback with explosive skills.

Loka Toia and John Fineanganofo of Redcliffe SHS

Wavell SHS

Wavell are the sleeping giants of the competition.

They have a very, very good young side coming through, and the tip of the iceberg will be seen this season.

Get them on the same page, and providing they do the basics right and respect possession, we expect nature to take its course and Wavell to find their way into the top four.

Dark horse player: Jayden Butt

Wavell SHS will field an exciting, young team full of skill, vim and vigour. And the perfect player to have around this skilful, excitable group will be Butt.

The Redcliffe Dolphins junior is match hardened after a Meninga Cup season and is now an experienced middle forward campaigner who gathered priceless experience during last season’s Langer season.

He is the type of side every team needs – the style of forward coaches wish they could duplicate.

PBC SHS

With basically the backline that won the QRSS: state championship with South Coast, we expect Palm Beach Currumbin SHS will be very good because they are always very good.

The Reds will field a fleet-a-foot outside back division featuring Puru, Donovan, Stephenson and Litidamu, a group fed by Zane Harrison and Bailey McConnell.

Up front Jackson, Turner etc will be ironman. This is another very fine side.

We predict when the dust settles they will be in the last four – and from there, anything can happen.

Queensland School Rugby League Championship Finals at Jack Manski Oval, Townsville. UNDER 15 grand final. South Coast celebrate. Picture: Evan Morgan

Dark horse player: Jett Jackson

Jackson has been an apprentice and now he is about to graduate.

He is a Wayne Bennett type of forward, a steady-eddy who has miles in his legs, a big raw-boned kid who packs a punch in defence.

Jackson has watched Scanlan, Cullan and co lead the PBC SHS pack over the last two seasons, and now he will be the No. 1 man and believe us, he is up to that challenge alongside Brady Turner and Jac Finegan.

Jackson deservedly worked his way into the 37 man Qld under 18 emerging squad.

Keebra Park SHS

Keebra will have a super forward pack. South Coast were driven to victory at this week’s QRSSSL state championships, and Keebra Park players dominated the pack.

It is an exciting new era for Keebra Park SHS as well and like PBC SHS, you know Keebra Park will be good.

It is just a matter of how good. We think it will be semi-final good and when the play-offs get down to the business end, they will be in the final four and pushing for the premiership.

Queensland School Rugby League Championship Finals at Jack Manski Oval, Townsville. UNDER 15 grand final. South Coast celebrate try to Christian Rivers to seal game. Picture: Evan Morgan

Keebra will have a particularly imposing forward pack around Bryce, Folua and Wailer and two excellent props, Jack Schmidt and Zac Kumbermong, who we will highlight below.

But they have three x-factor players – inform fullback Mason Barber who shone in the Meninga Cup, half Ryder Williams and utility Lotaki.

Dark horse players:

The production line of quality forwards just keeps rumbling on at Keebra Park SHS, a system which spat out Payne Haas and David Fifita and co.

And both Schmidt and Kumbermong will be proud to carry on that forward power tradition.

Both boys have been identified by the QRL as players of potential, and were chosen in a squad to train in game simulation, with Former Origin Greats working alongside the next generation of Queensland talent.

In their ears were FOGS Gavin Cooper, Darius Boyd, Michael Morgan, Brent Tate, Andrew McCullough, Matt Gillett, Matt Ballin, David Stagg, Antonio Kaufusi and Casey McGuire, so the pair have had the best tuition possible.

Mason Barber: It is hard to believe Barber played in the middle last season – and will play fullback in his Langer Trophy debut.

He played so well in the No. 1 jumper over the summer, the Cowboys talent scouts scooped him up.

Sunshine Coast high schools in grudge match

Powerhouse rugby league nurseries Mountain Creek and Caloundra state high schools have locked horns in very one-sided Langer Cup a grudge match, with one side scoring five unanswered tries. SEE THE REPLAY

Replay: Langer Cup qualifying match – Caloundra vs Mt Creek
Langer Cup qualifying match – Caloundra vs Mt Creek.

Caloundra remains in the hunt for the coveted Langer Trophy with a five tries to nil shut-out of Sunshine Coast rivals Mountain Creek.

In a clash of the two state school powerhouses, the home side were too hot to handle in a one-sided second half display.

A double to strike centre Kallum Murphy and a solo try to star fullback Brooklenn Mundraby-Grogan proved the difference in the 22-0 win.

Toby Poole’s side now take on Redcliffe State High on March 23.

Caloundra led 6-0 at the break and laid on points despite losing five-eighth Jack Philp for 10 minutes for a professional foul.

Philp would later return to the field for a match sealing play.

Langer Trophy: Caloundra vs Mountain Creek

Poole said he was satisfied with the win but said there was plenty of work required for the side to advance over Redcliffe.

“It was tough early on, a real arm wrestle, but the pleasing thing was our defence which kept turning up,” Poole said.

“Our competitions need to be better though, so we have work to do against Redcliffe who are always strong.”

Back rower Jayden Smith was hard to handle while prop forward Chase Paterson had a running battle with Mountain Creek’s big man Mason Kira.

In his comeback game from an ACL injury, Murphy bagged a double while star fullback Brooklenn Mundraby-Grogan laid on one try with slick hands and produced a solo try for the highlights reel.

“He’s like a Ferrari in the shed who comes out to play, he’s electric,” Poole said of the fullback.

“But our hooker Jake Sommerville, he was my man of the match. They threw everything at him and he didn’t miss.”

Mountain Creek coach Sam Mawhinney said the team had growth in them and would enter the Gee Shield aiming to win it.

“We have a strong side and showed glimpses of it today but they were the better side,” Mawhinney said.

For Mountain Creek, halfback Finn Lawson made a strong showing, captain Brock Thomas led from the front while backrowers Kira and Spencer Abbott bent the line back.

Sunshine Coast Falcons CEO Chris Flannery said both Mountain Creek and Caloundra state high schools played a vital role in the development of the region’s players. Picture: Patrick Woods

Background: Sunshine Coast High Schools in grudge match

One man who knows these schools better than most is Sunshine Coast Falcons chief executive Chris Flannery.

“They certainly are the powerhouse schools of the Sunshine Coast with high-quality rugby league programs and it’s always a big match,” Flannery said.

Both high schools are stacked with Falcons’ under-18s and under-16s emerging stars and each have a coaching staff of highly credentialed rugby league minds.

Mountain Creek boast ex-Falcons coach Sam Mawhinney, Cameron Boaza and Brendan Newcombe while their arch rivals have Toby Poole and Craig Monaghan.

Current and past Falcons Sam Burns, Alex Copelin, Nicho Hynes and Chris Lewis have all taught at each of the schools in recent years, while Tyson Smoothy and Trent Loiero have both graduated out of the Mountain Creek system to run out with the Melbourne Storm.

Dolphins inject life into Central Queensland school’s league

“From a Falcons level it’s really great to have such qualified eyes on the players in both schools. They are teaching the kids on our systems, our vocab and structure. It’s really important,” Flannery said.

“They also get to learn strength and conditioning in school hours which takes pressure off us.

“It’s just another fantastic pathway that the region has.”

NRL Schoolboys Cup: Who were the best 15 players from grand final day after wins by Redcliffe SHS, Caloundra SHS and PBC SHS? Also, relive Michael Roberts’ match-winning try.

The NRL Schoolboys Cup, Gee Cup and De Vere Cup grand finals were decided yesterday, with Palm Beach Currumbin, Redcliffe SHS and Caloundra SHS coming out on top.

In a sensational NRL Schoolboys Cup decider, PBC SHS five-eight Michael Roberts ran 80m to score four minutes from fulltime to break an 18-all deadlock.

WATCH THE GRAND FINAL REPLAYS HERE

PBC SHS’s win means they will now play the winner of the northern conference, St Brendan’s College Yeppoon, who also won a last-gasp thriller of Kirwan SHS in yesterday’s Payne Cup grand final.

That match will be played on September 15, and will again be livestreamed by News Corp around the state, including www.couriermail.com.au, the Gold Coast Bulletin and through the Rockhampton region.

Who were the players of the three grand finals, and what did the coaches think?

Man of the moment Michael Roberts.

MICHAEL ROBERTS (PBC SHS)

Moving Roberts closer to the action from wing to five-eight proved a masterstroke of coach PBC SHS coach Tim Maccan.

Not only did the year 11 student scoop up stolen ball and run 80m to score the match-winning try – relive that try here – he also scored a smart individual try and put his winger Jett Forbes over for a try as well.

Marsden halfback Cassius Cowley Picture: Liam Kidston.

CASSUIS COWLEY (MARSDEN SHS)

Cowley rose to the occasion on the big stage to almost get his team over the line.

Before the match Wavell SHS coach Michael Roberts said the game could come down to which No.7 had the biggest say on proceedings.

PBC SHS’s Tom Weaver was a 7 out 10 performer yesterday, but Cowley was an 8 out of 10 and full marks to him.

RYAN FORAN (PBC SHS)

In all the excitement of Roberts’ match-winning dash – and overall performance – Foran’s effort may be lost a little. But we will make sure here it is remembered for a long time.

Foran was arguably the player of the game, certainly the best forward on the park.

He finished with two tries, but he made run after run after run down that left side. His effort on effort is what got PBC SHS back level-pegging.

LANCE FUALEMA (MARSDEN SHS)

The big prop had a sensational opening burst to the match where he was the best front rower on the field – and that is saying something.

Like Cowley and Tyree Bowman (Marsden SHS), he came to the party on the big day, building on excellent semi-final form to lead the way on grand final day.

KEANO KINI (PBC SHS)

The boy wonder from New Zealand was highly influential in getting his team going from a 12-nil deficit.

Yes he had the advantage of playing for 10 minutes against a 12 man defensive line, but he also impacted against 13 men as well, don’t worry.

This kid who can ball play in the front line while also attacking from fullback is the real deal and watching him in 2022 will be a highlight.

TYREE BOWMAN (Marsden SHS)

The Marsden SHS scored for the second successive week, but that was merely icing on the cake as he saved his best performance of 2021 for grand final day.

He also made a break six minutes from fulltime, but the PBC SHS cover defence scrambled so he could not put his support away for a match-winning try. His long time teammate Teapo Stoltman also finished his outstanding season with a fine effort.

TOM WEAVER – and OSKAR BRYANT (PBC SHS)

Weaver was an outstanding puppeteer and Bryant still a force despite Marsden SHS clearing working hard to nullify his impact.

Man of the Match Redcliffe 9. Jack Cameron, Redcliffe and Clairvaux MacKillop College, Wynnum Manly Leagues Club. Picture: Liam Kidston.

JACK CAMERON (Redcliffe SHS)

Cameron was formally presented with the man of the match award by Broncos’ great Matt Gillett for his effort in his team’s Gee Cup winning effort.

He is a very impressive dummy half who brings his pack onto the ball, knows when to run himself and tackles like Andrew McCullough.

JACOB TAULANI (Redcliffe SHS)

The big striding, power edge backrower has that sprinkle of x-factor about him. He benefits from the go forward of his middles like Matt Bennett and Sefo Faatuono and Kiahl Moore, but he does reward those hard working tight forwards by threatening defensive lines.

Cameron deservedly won the man of the match but hats off to Major, Moore, Bennett and Faatuono.

Redcliffe lost only one match this season because they had an outstanding pack what would have challenged Langer Trophy squads had the side qualified.

TULLY MCLELLAN (Caloundra SHS)

Behind a pack marching forward, McLellan produced a mini-master close. A Sunshine Coast Falcons product who is on the radar of the Melbourne Storm, the kid was worth the hype. And behind a winning pack, fullback Brooklenn Mundraby-Grogan looked a bit special.

Caloundra SHS halfback and man of the match Tully McLellan with Matt Gillett.

HAYDEN GALLAGHER

We loved his effort, his enthusiasm, his fight in the tackle and his never say die attitude.

He was surrounded by outstanding teammates – including Chase Patterson and Brodie Halpin – but it was great to see someone like Gallagher do what he did on grand final day.

One senses he probably plays each match he encounters with similar gusto, but this was our first view of him and he should be proud of his efforts.

The grand final winning Caloundra SHS side – with Michael De Vere far right corner whom the competition is named after.

WHAT THE COACHES SAID

Tim Maccan (PBC SHS)

“That was a really tough game. We are busted. We lost two players during the game and that was just a dead set battering. They threw everything at us.

“We had to withstand all that.

“Ryan was the form backrower of the competition and warranted selection in the Australian schoolboys side.

“He is someone that if you want to go to war, he is the first you pick.

“Michael (Roberts), there is not much he can’t do. His big thing is learning when to turn it on, and when to be patient. And we are working on that.

“Kini did a good job reducing the amount of time he had with the footy, but he still had some really strong carries and did some really good things.

“Our team, this group of boys have a want to win, to turn up and be there for their mates.’’

Palm Beach Currumbin SHS were winners – Tom Weaver and Jayden Wright.

Marsden SHS coach Matt Hartigan

“I would like to congratulate PBC SHS on their win.

“It is always hard to put into words the feelings that are associated with a game like that, but I was so proud of my Marsden team,’’ Hartigan said. “They showed amazing qualities across the 60 minutes.

“We had our chances to ice the game and no doubt we have learnt some invaluable lessons that they will take on their journey.

“I am proud to be a Mako and I can’t wait to continue to follow the next chapter that awaits out year 12 boys.

Palm beach Currumbin SHS vs Marsden SHS, Wynnum Manly Leagues Club. Picture: Liam Kidston.

Scott Murray (Redcliffe SHS)

“We lost that one game to qualify for the Langer, and it was hard to get them back focused.

But to their credit we just said lets go again and winning the Gee Shield was important to us.

“We will get half half back (in 2022 chasing a Langer Trophy berth) which is probably ideal.

“They would have got a lot of experience out of today.’’

Clairvaux’s Luke Anderson, Redcliffe and Clairvaux MacKillop College, Wynnum Manly Leagues Club. Picture: Liam Kidston.

Andrew Gercken (Caloundra SHS)

“I could not be prouder.

“Off the field they are outstanding and all they wanted to do was work together to get the result.

“There are no egos in this side. Everyone has a role to play and they turn up and do it.

“Everyone will make a mistake or go away from the game plan, but it is not about getting into them, it is about getting behind and saying ‘okay, you saw something and you backed themselves’ and that is always one of my last messages and they do back themselves and their ability.’’

REPLAY: South Queensland Rugby League Grand Final – Marsden SHS vs Palm Beach Currumbin

A triple treat of schoolboy grand final action was livestreamed this afternoon by News Corp as part of a feast of schoolboy finals this month.

Wednesday’s action included the NRL Schoolboys Cup decider between Langer Trophy champions Marsden SHS and the most successful south east Queensland in recent years – Palm Beach Currumbin SHS. PBC came from behind to win 22-18 (see below).

In the earlier games at Kougari Oval, Gee Cup action saw Redcliffe SHS beat Clairvaux MacKillop College, while in the De Vere Cup Caloundra SHS were too good for Mabel Park SHS.

THE MATCHES

NRL SCHOOLBOYS SOUTHERN CONFERENCE: MARSDEN SHS v PBC SHS

Palm Beach Currumbin SHS five-eighth Michael Roberts scored a sensational 80m solo try four minutes from fulltime to hand his side the NRL Schoolboys Cup premiership over Marsden SHS.

Roberts, the brother of NRL speed demon James Roberts, snared stolen ball and ran for his life, finding the energy to palm off a Marsden defender and score the try of his young life. PBC won 22-18.

“I was hoping he was going to be able to get there. I saw Leon (Marsden fullback Leon Te Hau) and a few chasers, but I forgot he (Roberts) had that sick left hand fend and he got rid of him,’’ said PBC SHS captain Tom Weaver.

“When he scored it was an awesome feeling.’’

Palm Beach Currumbin SHS 2021 Langer Cup Champions

The winning PBC SHS team.

The man of the moment, Roberts added: “I just picked it up and it (a gap) opened up and I just ran. I was going to pass it but just backed myself and ran the field.’’

It was remarkable as the perennial south east champions Palm Beach Currumbin SHS climbed off the canvas to win over a Marsden side full of character.

With left edge forward warrior Ryan Foran at the peak of his powers when his team needed him most, PBC SHS recovered from 12-nil and 18-8 deficits to find their way to the winners post – again.

Foran scored two close to the line tries down the left side, the second of which raised his team to 18-all.

In a dramatic finish

+ PBC captain Tom Weaver missed a penalty kick that would have broken the 18-all deadlock

+ Marsden SHS hooker Tyree Bowman, playing his best game of the season, burst through but couldn’t find support

+ PBC centre Deine Mariner dropped an attempted intercept

Then came Roberts match winning run four minutes from the end, raising his team to the lead for the first time in the game.

Even then Marsden had one play after the fulltime siren, but PBC SHS survived.

Earlier Roberts scored a try and produced a try assist against a Marsden SHS side that played their hearts out.

“That was a really tough game,’’ said PBC coach Tim Maccan. “We are busted. We lost two players during the game and that was just a dead set battering. They threw everything at us.’’

Marsden SHS coach Matt Hartigan praised his team’s character and said they should be proud of their efforts, while also congratulating PBC SHS.

“It is always hard to put into words the feelings that are associated with a game like that, but I was so proud of my Marsden team,’’ Hartigan said. “They showed amazing qualities across the 60 minutes.

“We had our chances to ice the game and no doube we have learnt some invaluable lessons that they will take on their journey.’’

With Marsden SHS halfback Cassius Cowley rising to the occasion, Marsden SHS extended its lead seven minutes into the second half by 16-8 after a set play try which saw centre Teapo Stoltman use his pace cutting back on the inside off Cowley.

But PBC SHS were back in business when Foran scored the first of his two tries, and then another 14 minutes from fulltime.

It was a see-sawing match which saw Marsden led 12-nil and 18-8 before PBC closed in, with Foran brute force left edge running causing trouble.

Leading up to halftime Palm Beach Currumbin SHS fullback Kini Keano and five-eight Roberts lit up Kougari Oval with some dynamic play to spark their team from a 12-nil deficit.

Against a 12 man defensive line following an earlier sin-binning, Roberts scored one try and put his winger Jett Forbes over for another to bring the score to 12-8 at halftime.

It was a half of two halves.

Marsden had all the running in the first part of the game, and in the second – and not helped with Mou Taumaletila being in the sin-bin – PBC SHS dominated the period leading to halftime.

Keano was brilliant against a 13-man defensive line, and even more dangerous against 12 defenders as halfback Weaver enjoyed front football ball courtesy of his pack.

PBC SHS, clearly attacking Marsden’s middle with inside passes, had some success in gathering momentum, and off that momentum Weaver’s running players Keano and Roberts were dangerous.

Earlier, Marsden SHS drew first blood through dummy half Bowman who, for the second final in succession, dived over from dummy half.

Prop Xavier Stowers had run a decoy for his fellow front rower Lance Fualema, but his quick play the ball when tackled enabled Bowman to plunge over unopposed.

Marsden gained further momentum when Cowley got through the front line and won a penalty for his side after skip Chris Faagutu had got his team onto the front foot.

From the new set of six big Fualema, denied a few minutes earlier, scored and it was 12-niL.

When PBC SHS ventured inside Marsden’s quarter line, Faagutu put his shoulder to the grindstone to put a big tackle on PBC SHS’s Bailey Martin.

Marsden SHS Cowley was up for the big dance, playing straight, offering passes either side of him and kicking with precision.

DE VERE CUP: MABEL PARK SHS v CALOUNDRA SHS

Caloundra SHS’s open program looks in safe hands after its year 10 De Vere Cup side won its grand final over Mabel Park SHS today.

Playing with speed and skill, Caloundra’s quick, mobile pack started at a gallop and never lost stride, winning 36-4.

REPLAY: De Vere Cup Grand Final – Caloundra SHS v Mabel Park SHS (10B’s)

Mabel Park defended stoutly into the second half, but a show and go by Caloundra halfback Tully McLellan got Caloundra on the board again and it was 30-nil.

Caloundra SHS could not have started better.

The grand final winning De Vere Cup Caloundra SHS side.

They led 12-nil and then 18-nil when No.7 McLellan showed a clean par of heels running down the right hand sideline.

And it was 22-nil when McLellan ball-played beautifully at the line, taking a hit but getting a pass away to a rampaging Brodie Halpin whose long stride carried him 30m to score.

Off the back of quick play the balls, Caloundra rolled forward at pace, with an uptempo game unsettling the Mabel Park SHS defence early.

Caloundra SHS lock Hayden Gallagher was the picture of determination when he twisted and turned and plunged over to score the opening try next to the posts.

Next the explosive speed of fullback Brooklenn Mundraby-Grogan was on show when he finished a wide, right hand raid, handing Caloundra a 12-nil lead.

GEE SHIELD: REDCLIFFE SHS v CLAIRVAUX MACKILLOP COLLEGE

The best side all season, Redcliffe SHS, deservedly finished with the silverware at Kougari Oval today.

Redcliffe beat Clairvaux MacKillop College 46-nil, roaring out of the blocks to lead 26-nil before going on with the job.

REPLAY: Gee Shield Grand Final – Redcliffe SHS v Clairvaux MacKillop College

Reddy have only lost one match all season – the Langer Trophy qualifying final –

but there was no way they were going to lose today’s decider.

Props Sefo Faatuono and Matt Bennett laid early platforms, while edge backrower Jacob Taulani scored a magnificent grand final try.

Hooker Jack Cameron delivered slick passing off the back of quick play the balls, while out wide centre Tom Lunney and Dan Dawes enjoyed first half tries.

The Redclfife forwards were big and mobile, with Braith Major, Kiahl Moore and Taulani punching out the metres while also being line breaking threats.

Earlier, the two Redcliffe props combined beautifully to open the scoring in the Gee Cup grand final, with Sefo unloading to Bennett who stormed over beneath the posts after six minutes.

It was 10-nil not long after when five-eight Blake Kehl threw a lovely long ball to his winger Dan Dawes who scurried over in the corner.

In between Clairvaux winger James Richardson threatened with a sideline run, but Kehl in cover and Redcliffe fullback Tyler Fishlock were up to the task in defence.

NRL Schoolboys Cup grand final dynamic duo: PBC SHS pair Tom Weaver Oskar Bryant meet in a birthing suite; Marsden SHS pair Jieye Maua’i and Chris Faagutu mates from way back.

Tune in LIVE to see the best schoolboys in Queensland battle it out for the titles.

It is little wonder Palm Beach Currumbin SHS pair Tom Weaver and Oskar Bryant seem to be able to read each other’s minds on the field – after all they were first together on the day Bryant was born.

Halfback Weaver and hooker Bryant will be two of the dynamic duos involved in today’s NRL Schoolboys Cup grand final to be played between Langer Trophy champions Marsden SHS and PBC SHS at Kougari Oval.

The three matches livestreamed by News Corps today will be:

— Caloundra SHS v Mabel Park (De Vere Cup, 12.30),

— Redcliffe SHS v Clairvaux MacKillop College (open Gee Cup, 1.45pm)

— Marsden SHS v PBC SHS (NRL Schoolboys Cup, 3pm).

Weaver and Bryant, both Gold Coast Titans signings, have had parallel lives since Weaver was in the birthing suite the day Bryant was born.

“My dad (Aaron) and his dad (Glenn) played footy together and my mum (Renee) and his mum (Joanne) went to school together,’’ Bryant explained.

Oskar Bryant, left, and Tom Weaver – together again.

“I have known him for 18 years this year, and have been playing footy with him since under 6s at Cudgen (northern NSW),’’ Bryant said.

“Every team we have made, we have played together.

“It (our combination) just comes naturally. I just look at him and the play he calls, I just put the ball straight on his chest.’’

Tom said: “We have been mates since we were born.

“We have just grown up in the same families basically – our families are still really close and that just led to us playing footy together since we were six-years-old.

“It really helps out on the field.

“He knows when I want the ball and there are times when I am not in the right position to get a kick away or put a play on and he will run it himself or kick it himself.

“We are instinctive – that we know what each other needs.’’

PBC SHS Tim Maccan said it was an uncanny association which reminded him of when he played with Brad Davis at both school (PBC SHS) and Intrust Super Cup (Seagulls) level.

PBC SHS five-eighth Michael Roberts said it was great playing alongside Weaver and Bryant.

“Tom directs the boys into the right place and Oskar is eyes up – he knows when to go at the right times,’’ Roberts said.

Marsden SHS also have their own version of Batman and Robyn – Jieye Maua’i and Chris Faagutu.

Both backrowers, the boys first met playing under 9s at Logan Brothers have enjoyed plenty of good times together wearing the Marsden SHS jersey.

“I remember training with him in under 9s and we got to know each other,’’ Maua’i said.

Maua’i said they had a great understanding of each other on the field.

“He leads by example and sets the standards for the middles and everyone in the team,’’ Maua’i said.

“And off the field he is a good person to know.’’

Faagutu said his mate Maua’i was a quiet achiever. “He works hard, tackles hard and achieves a lot.’’
