Welcome to League of Titans

Junior Development

It was a case of what didn't Kai Saric do in 2024 not what he did. First Kai Saric was part of the 2024 Northern Rivers Titans U18 Laurie Daley Cup side then he was selected in the Lismore Dioscean Open Rugby League side out of Xavier Catholic College. Kai Saric was also a stand out for the Byron Bay Devils in the NRRRL U18 competition, including starting at fullback and scoring in the Grand FInal victory against Bilambil with Kai Saric then named the 2024 NRRRL U18 Rookie of the Year.

In 2025 Kai Saric will do it all again.
