Speed demons of the Livestream Langer Trophy qualifiers

Meet the speed demons of the Langer Trophy qualifying series to be livestreamed by News Corp starting on Wednesday.

Langer Trophy schoolboy rugby league action arrives early this season, with News Corp livestreaming three qualifying games.

In a bumper Wednesday of footie, Mountain Creek SHS play Caloundra SHS (4pm).

The Mabel Park SHS v St Mary’s College clash which was originally scheduled for tomorrow has been shifted to April 27 due to the condition of the ground in Ipswich.

Redcliffe SHS will then play the winner of the Mountain Creek v Caloundra clash on March 23, with the winner progressing into the Langer Trophy.

The five teams were chasing two remaining positions in the eight team Langer Trophy.

Already qualified were Palm Beach Currumbin SHS, Langer Trophy home-and-away winners Marsden SHS, Wavell SHS, Ipswich SHS, Coombabah SHS and Keebra Park SHS

Both Mabel Park SHS and St Mary’s were in last season’s competition, but only one can progress this season.

So who will be some of the SPEED DEMONS to watch across the qualifying series?

St Mary’s College

Cruz Williamson: Williamson comes into the squad for the first time for this match. He is a hard trainer, team man who is elusive at fullback.

Mabel Park SHS

Te Hata Reid: Reid is a fullback with acceleration off the mark. Blink and he’s gone.

Elijah Tagiilima: It takes winger Tagiilima a while to work thorough his gears but he’s devastating at top speed.

Caloundra SHS

Brooklenn Mundraby-Grogan: A fullback who is very exciting to watch, Brooklenn’s electric speed makes him extremely dangerous to mark, especially in broken play. He uses his instincts to the best of his ability and since moving down from Cairns, he has gone from strength to strength.

Dyllan Cousens: Mountain Creek SHS’s Cousens will play dummy half. The Sunshine Coast Falcons Mal Meninga captain, he’s very quick which helps his side when they are trying to get the ball moving from the ruck. He is also a smart footballer with solid organisation skills.

Redcliffe SHS

Jayden Alefaio: Alefaio can play anywhere in backline and can change the tempo of the game with ball in hand.

Blayne Linsell: Linsell is a real try scorer who is a powerful runner of the ball.
