EXCITING Logan rugby league ­prospect Greg Leleisiuao will be launched into the Auckland Nines by the Gold Coast Titans.

The 18-year-old Marsden athlete has been included in the Titans’ squad for this weekend’s tournament to play alongside Australian representative Greg Bird and former Queensland Origin player Chris McQueen, who he has trained with in the off-season.

“It’s been really tough at times, but it’s been a really good experience for me to train with guys who have played State of Origin and international football,” Leleisiuao said.

A product of Woodridge State High School, Leleisiuao has yet to debut at NRL level but impressed in the Titans under-20s side last year.

The youngster, who has earned comparisons to Queensland superstar Greg Inglis, told the Albert & Logan News it was his goal to make his NRL debut in 2016.

Leleisiuao will not be the only player with a Logan background in action this weekend — Logan Brothers junior Brenko Lee and Souths Logan Magpies product Luke Bateman have been included in the Canberra Raiders squad.
