WHY GREG INGLIS’ OLD SCHOOL IS STILL AN NRL HOT BED OF TALENT
Many eyes will also be on Pizzy Park where arch rivals PBC and Keebra, both with just one loss apiece to Ipswich SHS, clash in a match featuring the future of the Gold Coast Titans.
A majority of players from both teams were in Titans training squads, Queensland schoolboy players including Keano Kini, Joshua Lynn (both PBC SHS), Arama Hau, Seth Nikotemo and Immanuel Kalekale.
So who will be the Super Eight leading the way for their respective teams?
KEANO KINI (PBC SHS)
The Queensland schoolboys Player of the Carnival at the recent national championships, there are times when Kini looks like an NRL footballer playing among schoolboys. The Gold Coast Titans-signed fullback is not superman, but he does a pretty good impersonation.
ARAMA HAU (Keebra Park SHS)
Captaincy has agreed with Hau who played his way into the Australian schoolboys side with a powerhouse campaign for the Queensland 18 years’ side last month. A No.13, Hau runs with the skill and agility of an edge player and really is at the peak of his powers at the moment.
JOSHUA LYNN (PBC SHS)
Lynn was an unsung hero of Queensland’s schoolboy campaign, a glue of the side as he linked forwards and backs. He has learned from the best - Titans NRL half in waiting Tom Weaver - and his decisive halves play is keeping PBC SHS ticking along. He is also an elite goal kicker.
KARAURIA STOKES (Keebra Park SHS)
The alarm bells will ring in the PBC SHS defence line if Keebra Park get quick ruck ball because defenders will know Karauria Stokes is floating around the middle of the ruck. He is a genuine match winner who can crack a match open in the blink of an eye.
TANU NONA (PBC SHS)
The PBC SHS captain is a quicksilver dummy half who is loving the authority of big men Isaiah Scanlan and Reico Ratana around the ruck. Win the ruck and you can quell him, but watch for his influence if PBC gets a roll on.
TYRELL WAAKA-THIND (Keebra Park SHS)
Tyrell Waaka-Rhind is a wild car of our Super Six pack, an addition from Wavell SHS who can light up the ruck as well as any in the competition.
MICHAEL ROBERTS (PBC SHS)
The Quueensland schooboys centre, Roberts is a big game player who can take advantage of Lynn and Nona’s service like no other. He is also defensively strong.
SETH NIKOTEMO
Is the big fella back from injury? All will be revealed on Wednesday, but if he is then watch for the Queensland schoolboy rep’s edge running and leaership of the Keebra Park SHS pack.
