Yes.
See that's the thing with Marata. When RCG and JNR come off we struggle. Marata never was able to keep the ball rolling.
Matterson on bench doesn't work for me.
We need someone like Ogden or Greig to step up. Big bodies who can push the line back. Guys like Makatoa where like pillows
Matterson off the bench is fine but not to replace the tradition role that RCG and Junior play in the first few hitups.
Our style needs that person to be a bigger body.

Wholehearted player but offers little impact so prefer someone with a bit of mongrel in them.
It's why I like Emu except his fitness in prev years have been poor.

He will Kamakaze for a short period and then he gets tired and his defense suffers

What is in the water at Palm Beach Currumbin SHS when it comes to producing a halfback?
NRL devotees have seen past students Tom Dearden (Cowboys) and Toby Sexton (Titans) hit the big league as playmakers, and they will soon see Tom Weaver (Titans) break into the NRL this season or next.


Looming on the horizon is yet another young playmaker, Queensland schoolboys half Josh Lynn, who will be front and centre in today’s Langer Trophy livestream local derby between the two Gold Coast teams - PBC and Keebra Park SHS.

The big game starts at 5pm.

Coverage is part of News Corp’s livestreaming of the Langer Trophy and affiliated competitions this season.

Josh Lynn is making a real name for himself. Picture: Zak Simmonds

GIRL POWER: HOW THE SCHOOLGIRLS HAD ORIGIN HEROES CHEERING WILDLY

Lynn said being coached by Tim Maccan and Brad Davis (both QRL play makers) and schoolboy coaches Chris and Rod Patison, was part of the reason for the conveyor belt of halves talent at PBC SHS.

But he said the hands-on experience of training and playing with Weaver was tremendous, noting Weaver’s “communication’’ skills and “ability to steer the side around”.

“At training I would just follow alongside him trying to learn as much as I can and take it on board,’’ said Lynn, who loves surfing at Burleigh Beach.

Weaver, a Cudgen product, starred in NSW under 19’s recent State of Origin victory wearing No.6.

Lynn said losing Weaver and Oskar Bryant after successive seasons at PBC SHS (2020-21) meant he and dummy half Tanu Nona had more responsibility.

“As an older boy (aged 18) I had to take on the responsibility and I feel I have done that okay for the first couple of rounds but there is still a lot of competition to go,’’ Lynn said.

Like Sexton and Weaver, .

Josh Lynn is the Parramatta SG Ball half - and has been named in the QLD Under 19 SOO Training squad
Now this is the junior info we need. Well spotted Pete. Ill watch with interest.

Kikau is not as effective as JFH. LEOTA bashed our forwards in that first 20 and he killed us.
It is one game, and less indicative because we were fatigued from Townsville. The first final is a better representation of the two teams. Plus Leota only plays 30 minutes and hardly runs the ball, so it’s easy to go hard in defence.
Korisau is elite
Grant is elite, and Koroisau isn’t even close. Hodgson used to be elite.

Korisau > Grant in last 3 season.
2023 maybe different

Lol where will RTS play from the grandstand.

Tupou and Suualli are already on the wing.

Teddy is the fullback.

Manu in the centres while Keary and Walker are in the halves.
