YOUTH ACADEMY

With youth rugby becoming so competitive and the sheer fact that every school team and club is chasing the win we see countless youth athletes missing physical development.

The inability to move in their own bodies combined with the lack of coordination to produce speed and power causes huge issues as they progress through age group footy into senior level.

Over the past 12mths we have been developing our NextGen (u10-u14) and YoungGunz (u15-u18s) programs where we have helped athletes make State Teams, Regional Squads and move up divisions in their club in both league, union, athletics, swimming and netball.

We cover everything from 1on1 to squad based sessions as well as online programming if your not local to our athlete specialized training centre.

Meet the Redcliffe juniors NRL new-comers the Dolphins simply must look to sign.

Don’t miss out on the headlines from Local sport. Followed categories will be added to My News.

These are some of the Redcliffe catchment juniors NRL new-comers the Dolphins simply must look to sign.

NRL’s 17th team will be looking for several marquee players to parade as their flagship players for season 2023.

But what about their juniors? The region from Albany Creek, Caboolture and west to Dayboro and Kilcoy districts has also been one of the finest junior catchments for Redcliffe, with past champions Petero Civoniceva, Troy Lindsay, Peter Leis, Trevor Benson, Ian Graham and Ken McCrohon just a handful of elite junior old boys.

Redcliffe SHS alone, for example, has produced Daly Cherry-Evans, Josh McGuire and Civoniceva, while the Bribie Island region has produced Broncos champion Matt Gillett and grand final centre Jack Reed. Can you imagine if they had worn a Dolphins NRL jersey?

So who are some of the young gun Redcliffe juniors of today?

Kallum Weatherall-Stacey:

A winger or fullback, this kid has speed to burn – and plenty of it.

Ben Te Kura:

The Broncos have this 200cm tall edge backrower signed – for the moment. The Wavell SHS student is the type of kid Redclffe should get when he is off contract.

Jack Cameron:

The Redcliffe SHS hooker has been blooming of late and had a tremendous Gee Cup campaign.

Keep a close watch on this rookie.

Michael Waqa:

Now here’s a wildcard name for you. Big, strong, mobile forward who remains unsigned – for now.

Mitchell Rogers:

An extremely talented dummy half who is on the Bulldogs raider.

Karl Oloapu:

Possibly the best out of the lot of them. A Redcliffe junior, Oloapu is a brilliant half or five-eight who had a strong season for Wavell SHS in the Langer Trophy where he made the Team of the Year.

Redcliffe SHS hooker Jack Cameron, centre, and his skipper Matt Bennett, right.

Matthew Bennett:

Redcliffe SHS captain courageous, Bennett is a no frills front rower with a big motor who does the simple things right. He also has a handy front row partner in Sefo Faatuono.

Jacob Taulani:

A raw, left edge ball runner who will have talent scouts opening their match day programs to double check the spelling of his name.

Joseph Pouniu is originally from North Lakes Kangaroos (AAP Image/Regi Varghese)

Joseph and Brian Pouniu:

Joseph is a towering, 195cm tall front row and backrower who has been courted by the Titans, while his brother is an equally exciting prospect – but too young (14 years) to be signed to the NRL for the moment.

Dre Pakeho and Ben Uini.

Pakeho played 16s in 2021 and Uini in the under 15s. Both are big talents who have talent scouts watching closely.

Thomas Lunney:

Another outstanding backrow talent from the region.

Mason Kira:

Kira is a tough as teak lock originally from the Sunshine Coast.

William Sologinkin:

Speaking of tough, did someone say Sologinkin’s name?

He played up an age group for Redcliffe and is one tough cookie.

Arthur Fitness:

Fitness is another prospect in the under 16s.

The son of former Queensland cricket wicket keeper Gavin Fitness – who is the personal batting coach of Chris Lynn – Fitness is a national playmaker with vision.

He is developing under the eye of ex-Redcliffe grand final hero Mick Roberts at Wavell SHS.

Also keep a watch on Jaedon Wellington (front row), Sebastyan Jack (half), Tuhii Ratana-Leef (No.13), Jonathan Maller (five-eight), Jak Goulding and tackling machine Drew Timms, a coaches dream who works hard, then works even harder in the next set of six tackles.

Redcliffe Dolphins junior and Redcliffe SHS student Jak Goulding said the Dolphins elevation into the NRL would allow local kids to remain local while aspiring to play NRL.

“Those boys who have come through the club since under 7s, and for boys like myself coming to the club and seeing the strong culture and what it means to wear the jersey, it’s certainly a great opportunity to be able to stay here for longer and do what we all want to do at this club,’’ said junior Jak Goulding.

Redcliffe junior Ben Te Kura, signed by the Broncos, is the type of talent the Dolphins produce.

Current Redcliffe SHS captain and Dolphins Meninga Cup prop Matthew Bennett added. “Seeing what Redcliffe Dolphins can provide for many kids passionate about footy and has provided for existing players, it will definitely inspire more kids to want to play for Redcliffe and be apart of the experience.’’

Two down, three to go – that’s the challenge facing Redcliffe State High School’s Rugby League Program of Excellence in the next three weeks.

Program director Scott Murray is aiming to get all five teams into the Brisbane Broncos/QSSRL top schools’ competitions in South East Queensland.

It is a feat Murray and the Broncos believe Redcliffe State High School has not achieved in the 20 years the events have been run.

Qualified

Redcliffe’s Year 7 and Year 8 teams are already through having qualified for the Brisbane Broncos Old Boys Trophy and (Steve) Renouf Shield respectively.

The Year 7s lost 14-4 to Marsden, but roared back beating Stretton, Coombabah, Mabel Park and Alexandra Hills without conceding a point!

The Year 9s are hoping to join them tomorrow (April 20) when they face three pool matches and then (hopefully) a final at Stafford.

Holiday training

Preparation for these (Michael) Hancock Cup qualifiers included going into school on the last day of their Easter holidays for training.

Redcliffe’s Opens (Years 11-12) have a semi-final against Alexandra Hills at Wynnum on May 5 in their quest to reach the (Allan) Langer Trophy.

The Year 10s are preparing for a one-off final on May 12 – opponents to be decided – to reach the (Kevin) Walters Cup.

Confident

“Definitely feeling confident,” says Murray, who joined the program in 2015, “the Year 9s have been improving all the time and had great results going into this competition.

“The Year 10s have certainly got a chance. They have been good in trial matches and I think we have our strongest Opens team for quite a few years.

“Getting all our teams into the Broncos competitions would be a great boost for the program.

“We have been working hard and building. If we don’t achieve it this year, I think the program will do it soon.”

Star pupils

The current Year 12 players have been right through the program with Murray, being the Year 7s when he started in 2015.

The Redcliffe SHS Program of Excellence is in its 21st year and has produced NRL stars such as Queensland and Australia half-back Daly Cherry-Evans, Queensland and Broncos forward Josh Maguire and Josh Kerr, a forward at St George Dragons.

The course covers six semesters in Years 7-9 on skills and physical development with three lessons per week, plus competitions and camps.

This leads into the Senior School Program of Excellence for Years 10-12, with three lessons each week, a three-day camp, refereeing certificate and fitness qualification.
