Ayden Byrnes started at hooker for the Bilambil Jets in the 2024 NRRRL U18 Grand Final against the Byron Bay Devils and made a line break in the 44th minute when after taking possession of the ball forty four metres from the try line and to the left of the play the ball Ayden Byrnes executed a great show and go to his left to break the defensive line and charge downfield to within two metres of the try line and ten metres in from the left corner post.

Ayden Byrnes made his initial foray out of dummy half in the 22nd minute when he ran to his left and broke two tackles as he carried the ball from eleven metres inside his half to three metres into the Devils. Also in the 39th minute from the right of the play the ball Ayden Byrnes ran the ball from twenty two metres from the try line through the centre of the field to within three metres of the try line an three metres to the left of the posts after executing a right foot step to beat one defender. Then in the 48th minute from the left of the play the ball Ayden Byrnes stepped off his left foot as he darted through the centre of the field to within ten metres of the try line after making twelve metres.
 
Great to see Jakequan Roberts-Welsh starting today for the Ipswich Jets MM Cup side in their first trial today against the Redcliffe Dolphins.
 
Brody Hawkins-Malcolm then came off the bench to operate at lock for the Southport Tigers in the 25th minute of Round Fourteen of the GCRL U20 competition against the Helensvale Hornets with Brody Hawkins-Malcolm recording a try assist in the 28th minute by way of a charge from the left of the play the ball to within a metre of the try line from eight metres out with Brody Hawkins-Malcolm then able to get his right arm free and off-load to his left with two defenders trying in vain to prevent the off-load to his replacement left winger who scored ten metres in from the left corner post.

Brody Hawkins-Malcolm had come close to scoring a minute earlier in the 27th minute when from the right of the play the ball Brody Hawkins-Malcolm had stepped off his left foot from twelve metres out and got within a metre of the try line just to the right of the goal posts.
 
Great results yesterday for the Ipswich Jets CC and MM sides (Titans involved) with both sides winning their first 2025 trial against the Redcliffe Dolphins.
 
In late 2024 Hadley Smith was named in the 2025 Tweed Heads Seagulls MM Cup squad with Hadley Smith starting at hooker for the Seagulls in their opening 2025 trial against the Wynnum Manly Seagulls with Hadley Smith scoring with less then three minutes left in the opening corner when he raced into dummy half eleven metres from the try line and after scooping the ball up in his right hand Hadley Smith ran to his left before dummying to his left to slice between two defenders to score under the posts.

Hadley Smith also made a line break late in the match when deep inside his own territory Hadley Smith executed a one on one steal and raced sixty five metres downfield before being caught from behind sixteen metres from the try line.

In the opening quarter Hadley Smith ran out of dummy half to his right from five metres out and to the left of the posts and put in a right foot grubber kick between the posts with the ball taken dead by the Wynnum Manly fullback to require a Seagulls goal line drop-out.

Keep an eye out in 2025 for Browns Plains and Marsden SHS Renouf Cup centre/second rower Jenesys Tuimavave-Gerard. The young man has some serious potential.
 
Lando Flint had a strong 2024 season for PBC SHS in the Bronco's Old Boy Cup and the left second rower should be just as good in the Renouf Cup in 2025.
 
In 2025 centre Koby Skelton will move up to the School Boy Hancock Cup competition for Marsden SHS and once again he will be a real handful for defences.
 
Jysiah Jones was outstanding for Marsden SHS in the Renouf Shield in 2024 and he should be just as good in not even better in 2025 in the Hancock Cup.

He was also very good for the Waterford Demons in the GBJRL U14 Division One competition in 2024.
 
2025 sees PBC SHS front rower Nixon O'Connor move up to the Walters Cup competition. This young man is an absolute monster on the field.
 
The Titans have a number of talented prospects in the JTS Program from Marsden SHS and another talent from Marsden SHS is centre Joshua Saidi who will play in the Renouf Shiled this season.
 
The Marsden SHS 2025 Walters Cup side with have some strength, power and skill up front with SJ Pulepule lining up in the front row.
 
I am very much looking forward to seeing how left second rower Brayden Rapata develops in 2025 for PBC SHS in the Hancock Cup as well as for Runaway Bay in the GCRL U15 Division One competition. He is also an outstanding rugby player.
 
The 2025 PBC SHS Langer Cup side even with a number of graduations will be a good side and one player who just may force his way into the squad in backrower Cohen Aitken who stood out in the Walters Cup in 2024.

Also in 2024 Cohen Aitken played a number of matches in the NRRRL U18 competition for the Tweed Coast Raiders.
 
Harry Chadburn started at five eight for the Bilambil Jets in the 2024 NRRRL U18 Grand Final against the Byron Bay Devils with Harry Chadburn kicking the first of his two Grand Final conversions in the 15th minute from the left touchline, Harry Chadburn then added a second conversion in the 29th minute from eight metres in from the right touchline.

Harry Chadburn recorded a try assist with a superb piece of individual brilliance in the 29th minute when from the right of the play the ball forty five metres from the try line and in the centre of the field Harry Chadburn chipped over the top of the Devils defensive line to regather his own chip kick on the first bounce and run from thirty three to twenty metres from the try line and when confronted by the on rushing Devils fullback Harry Chadburn put in a right foot grubber kick to his right for his right centre to track through and score eight metres in from the right corner post. Harry Chadburn then stepped up and nailed the conversion attempt.

Harry Chadburn kicked a great 40/20 in the 22nd minute from the right of the play the ball and thirty one metres from his own try line with Harry Chadburn’s raking right foot kick bounding over the touchline thirteen metres out from the try line.

A Harry Chadburn kick-off to his right in the 12th minute saw the ball take one bounce and go dead in-goal to force a Byron Bay goal line drop-out to restart the match.
 
After a strong 2024 season at TSS at fullback in the U16A competition Ryder Nelson will be in line to play in the First XV this season.
 
Will Sheridan started at right centre for the Byron Bay Devils in the 2024 NRRRL U18 Grand Final against the Bilambil Jets with Will Sheridan scoring the match winning try under the posts in the final minute of the match to reward the Devils with the 2024 NRRRL U18 Premiership. Will Sheridan took a short Bilambil kick off on the full and spun counter clockwise to gain separate and run sixty metres down the right touchline before bringing the ball around to put it down under the posts.

Will Sheridan also made a line break in the 45th minute when from wide on the right side of the field and forty metres from his own try line Will Sheridan made a line break down the right channel to carry the ball to within thirty two metres of the try line at the opposite end of the field.
 
Riley Puntigram had a big 2024 season including being named the Group 18 U15 Murwillumbah Colts U15 Best and Fairest and after playing their opening trial he has been named in the final 2025 Northern Rivers Titans U16 Andrew Johns Cup squad.
