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)

Saxon Innes and Kylem Vunipola at Marsden SHS Thursday April 27, 2023. Picture, John Gass

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)

QLD player Alton Naiyep QLD Vs CAS ASSRL 18 years national championships school rugby league Thursday July 6, 2023. Picture, John Gass

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)

Ipswich SHS’s Su’a. Picture: Liam Kidston.

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.

PHIL HALL CUP: WATCH THE REPLAY OF PBC SHS v ST PATRICK’S COLLEGE

KARYN MURPHY CUP FINAL REPLAY: MABEL PARK v KIRWAN SHS

He knew when to pass, when to cut back in, when to pin the ears back and when to get involved.

4 Sam Stephenson (PBC SHS)

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)

Alex Leapai from Mabel Park State High School – Picture: Richard Walker

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)

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

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)

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

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)

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

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.

Langer Trophy local derby

Langer Trophy local derby

Author : Andrew Dawson News Corp Sport

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.

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.

WALTERS CUP

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.

The Logan City derby will also coincide with a big Marsden SHS celebration of the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island communities.

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.

Wavell v Keebra Park Langer Trophy

Author : Andrew Dawson News Corp Sport

Wavell v Keebra Park Langer Trophy

Keebra Park were given quite a scare as Wavell produced their best performance of the season to nearly pull off a Langer Trophy upset.

Watch a full replay of Wavell SHS v Keebra Park SHS (Langer).

Wavell SHS produced their best performance of the season, but it was Keebra Park SHS who prevailed in a thriller.

Keebra Park SHS won 16-8, surviving a spirited Wavell effort, which included a dramatic surge late in the second half.

Down 16-4, Wavell winger Carlos Ka scored a sensational try, snatching the ball from the night sky after a towering bomb across the field from his classy halfback Zac Herdegen. That try reduced the margin to 16-8.

Herdegen then sliced through minutes later, sprinting 20m and throwing a dummy.

He looked certain to score, but he lost his balance as he was headed toward the posts.

Earlier in the half, Keebra Park had extended their margin to 16-4 after a glorious ball from Austin Marsters found his centre, Xavier Tauaifaiga, who scored.

It was a good win by Keebra SHS given the improved execution of Wavell and the unavailability of star halfback Ryder Williams.

Earlier, Jesse Soric delivered Keebra a 10-4 lead at the break with two thrusts on the eve of halftime.

A replacement for Williams, Soric capitalised on Keebra’s last-gasp forward surge late in the half to put his edge forward Jett Bryce into a gap.

While Bryce was tackled by Wavell centre Keyarn Pene, he was able to play-the-ball quickly and Soric, looping around to the blind side, blasted over to score.

Wavell winger Riley Jenkins had a busy debut, scoring the first try of the game and then putting his body in front of his opposite, Zyroam Herlihy, who went within a whisker of scoring for Keebra.

Wavell had started smartly, controlling the ball and giving energetic hooker Harrison Hill chances to shine as the starting dummy half.

They also controlled possession and with Herdegen’s smart kicking game, Wavell were playing their best football of the season.

But Keebra Park’s power forwards were the foundation of their reply, recapturing the lead 6-4, and extending it to 10-4 at the break.

It was an intense battle

The battle of the fullbacks finished in a draw and so did the match, with Wavell SHS scoring in the last minute to snatch a 20-20 draw.

Wavell halfback Timahna Tandy kicked a conversion 20 seconds from fulltime – from the sideline – after his centre, Devine Timu, had scored in the corner.

One minute earlier Keebra had scored what looked the winning try by halfback Jai Bilish.

However, Wavell interchange forward Payten Gifford stole possession back for Wavell, giving his side one last throw of the dice.

REPLAY: Wavell SHS v Keebra Park SHS (Walters)

It was a wonderful game featuring Wavell fullback Sangstar Figota and Keebra Park No.1 David Bryenton showing x-factor skills.

Both Figota and his five-eighth, Azariah Toki-Matauri, who is another big gun, provided the horse power leading up to Wavell recapturing the lead, 14-10, into the second half when centre Tremaine Courteney crossed.

In the first half, Figota also made a break from nothing to put his team into position for its second try.

With limited chances Bryenton’s footwork and speed was effortless for Keebra, and it was his half break which also positioned Keebra for its first try of the second half by halfback Jai Bilish.

This was after Bryenton brilliantly scored in the first half.

Bilish’s try 12 minutes from the end enabled Keebra Park to poke its nose level with Wavell – 14-14 – and then Bilish’s second try four minutes from fulltime looked like it had won the game for his side.

Wavell forward Eethan Laga’aia was also an impact player both in defence and with his carries, while Keebra Park prop Christian Rivers finished strongly.

Earlier in the match, Keebra Park scored first down a crowded blindside when centre Kendrix Marsh squeezed over in traffic.

However, Wavell got into their groove with power running and ball control, putting halfback Timahna Tandy into good attacking positions.

Once he ran himself to score, and on another occasion he drove a bomb toward his winger who tapped back inside for centre Devine Timu to cross.

PREVIEW

Wavell SHS students will be inspired by the jerseys they will wear designed by Indigenous students when they confront dangerous Keebra Park on Wednesday.

To celebrate NAIDOC 2023, Wavell’s proud first VIII will be wearing Indigenous jersey designed by their classmates.

Students personal handywork retains Wavell’s traditional school colours, while incorporating beautiful Indigneous artwork in the mid-drift and then bright, earthy colours snaking up the jersey to the neck line.

Wavell coach Paul Stanley said Wavell’s first two loses were “below the standards we set for ourselves’’.

But last week effort was not in question, it was execution, but the signs were positive.

“The players know what needs to change on the field, it’s up to us to get the job done,” coach Stanley said.

Keebra will aim to keep its fire burning.

Keebra have among the fastest players in the competition, and in halfback Ryder Williams they have the best back in the competition not have made the Queensland schoolboys.

Throw in its representative forward pack and Keebra were humming.

Who were the speed merchants of the Langer Trophy competition?

Below are the speed demons who will be in action again on July 13 in round 3 of the Brisbane Broncos-sponsored Allan Langer Trophy elite schoolboy competition.

They are boys who can save tries or score tries because of their pace.

The round 3 games, and all Langer fixtures, were exclusively live streamed by The Courier-Mail, along with News Corp affiliates, on the KommunityTV platform.

Meet the Langer Cup speed machines

Palm Beach Currumbin SHS

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.

Watch for Sam Stephenson on the left centre, a big fast and agile edge player.

Creedence Donovan:

An Indigenous boy who had been playing in the Northern Rivers competition, Donovan has speed to burn.

Ray Peru:

Peru played for Burleigh Bears during the summer and is coming back from injury. He is naturally agile.

Redcliffe SHS

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.

WALTERS CUP PLAYERS TO WATCH

LANGER TROPHY SURPRISE PLAYERS

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:

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:

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.

Caloundra SHS

Brooklenn Mundraby-Grogan:

A centre, Brooklenn has a couple of gears. Originally from Cairns, he is back from injury and has been gaining more confidence and strength as the months past leading up to the season.

Also throw into the mix Toby Irvine (fullback), and Kaden Humphries.

Both boys can motor for Caloundra.

Mabel Park SHS

Ryan McCann:

Ryan McCann

He played wing and centre for Coombabah SHS previously in the Langer, but will be given freedom at fullback. “He has got wheels,’’ said coach Ben Weston.

McCann has already proven that in the three games so far this season.

Tyrese Tovao:

Tyrese Tovao

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.

LANGER RESERVES PLAYERS TO WATCH

IPSWICH SHS DUO SIGN ON

STATE OF ORIGIN RIVALRY BETWEEN MABEL PK TEAMMATES

Marsden SHS

The Wynnum-Manly Seagulls Meninga Cup team had plenty of pace this year with Saxon Innes (left), Jett Bryce (centre) and Jaycob Kingston-Francis (right

Saxon Innes (fullback) and Izayah Petricevich (winger):
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.

Keebra Park SHS

Jett Bryce:

For a second rower Bryce has serious wheels. That near impossible trysaver he made against Marsden SHS at Cbus stadium is all the proof you need.

Mason Barber and Jeremiah Havea:

Jeremiah Havea

Barber has no shortage of speed at fullback and next to him is the tall Havea who can really move when he gets going.

With Tupuse in the centres, Keebra looked to have more than enough speed in their locker.
