Last weekend the Future Titans (aka JTS) U19 and U17 traveled to the big smoke to play a three-way series with Penrith and South Sydney. The games were trials and as such not too much can be read into the results but there were encouraging signs.
U19: beat Penrith convincingly to nil and drew with the Rabbitohs. As we don't have the equivalent to SG Ball and these players come from a multitude of clubs we are viewed as inferior but considering we sent down U18's and performed decently against U19's then we are on the right track. Some names to remember Cooper Bai (yes Marcus' lad), Sam Stephenson, Zane Harrison, Javon Andrews, Ray Puru and Caelys Putoko. This was Putoko's first run since coming across from champion NZ high school Hamilton BHS where he was named in the 2023 world schools union team.
U17: lost to Penrith by a try (had one disallowed) and got well beaten by the Rabbitohs. A bit disappointing but U16's playing against older boys is a reasonable effort. The experience will do them wonders. A stand out was Jai Billish.
This weekend they will play their annual fixtures against Newcastle.
