The 10 schoolboy footy guns who could light up the State of Origin arena in the future

Meet the 10 Gold Coast schoolboy footy guns from Palm Beach Currumbin State High School and Keebra Park who could light up the State of Origin arena in the future. READ THE COMPLETE LIST HERE.

THE Gold Coast Titans links with schoolboys rugby league powerhouses Palm Beach Currumbin and Keebra Park State High Schools is set to further strengthen the city's ability to provide a conveyor belt of talent to the State of Origin arena.

The Titans officially signed new deals with both schools last week and with a host of players, including AJ Brimson, Jai Arrow, Moeaki Fotuaika, Darius Boyd and Ben Hannant all playing in the interstate series, they are likely to see more reach the top level. 

Here are 10 Gold Coast talents to watch in the future.

XAVIER WILLISON – FRONT ROW, PALM BEACH-CURRUMBIN SHS CLASS OF 2020

Willison has been a dominant force on the school circuit but missed out on a Queensland jumper in 2019 due to injury. His athleticism is remarkable for the position with endurance to match the power generated by those long legs.

LACHLAN ADAMSON – HOOKER, KEEBRA PARK SHS CLASS OF 2020

Adamson was selected in the Queensland under-18 squad in 2019 and has a bright representative future. His playmaking ability is rapidly catching up to his strong defence.

RYAN RIVETT – FIVE-EIGHTH, PALM BEACH-CURRUMBIN SHS CLASS OF 2020

Picture Alfie Langer in a bigger body. Whether Rivett reaches those illustrious heights remains to be seen but good judges have been impressed by organisational skills in the meantime. Rivett was stuck behind young Titan Toby Sexton last year but broke out of his shadow in 2020 as a selection in Queensland's schoolboy team of the season.

TYRONE GUNN-JAMES – LOCK, KEEBRA PARK SHS CLASS OF 2020

One of the star’s of Kirwan State High School’s Payne Cup and national title-winning side, Gunn-James moved south to Keebra to further his football. His outstanding defence was an asset as Keebra reached the Langer Cup final.

FLYNN DANIEL – EDGE, PALM BEACH-CURRUMBIN SHS CLASS OF 2020

Daniel injects chaos onto the right edge, with a potent combination of size and an ability to pick out uncomfortable running lines to stress defenders. A strong skill base contributes to a productive offloading game as well. His season was cruelled by an ACL injury in 2020 but Daniel will be back in 2021.

DAMON SOMERVILLE – CENTRE, PALM EACH-CURRUMBIN SHS CLASS OF 2020

Somerville represented the Queensland under-15s in 2018 and has only grown as a strong, dynamic ball-carrier. His agility and footwork match well with his physicality to provide a well-rounded attacking presence in the wider channels. Palm Beach Currumbin sorely missed their skipper (ACL) in the Phil Hall Cup state schoolboy final.

TREY PENI – OUTSIDE BACK, KEEBRA PARK SHS CLASS OF 2020

Peni is the incumbent Queensland Schools winger from 2019 and would have pushed for the start in the Australian team in 2020. Peni has blossomed at Keebra since making the move from Western Australia to test himself in their system, and was rewarded with the captaincy when Sioasi Tonga went down.

CONNOR TE KANI, FIVE-EIGHTH, KEEBRA PARK SHS CLASS OF 2021

Tekani left the GPS rugby system this year to pursue his rugby league dream.

He has some pedigree in the sport, having represented the Queensland Under-16s in previous seasons.

He will lead a hungry Keebra Park backline in 2021.

XAVIER SAVAGE – OUTSIDE BACK, PALM BEACH-CURRUMBIN SHS CLASS OF 2020

The Canberra Raiders pounced on Savage not long after he set the all-time State under-16 100-metre record with a blazing 10.5. The incumbent Queensland winger so would have expected to feature again in 2020 with a future Queensland jersey in the Cairns product's sights.

KLESE HAAS – BACK ROW, KEEBRA PARK SHS CLASS OF 2020

The younger brother of Payne Haas isn’t built the same as his Broncos star sibling but the footballing ability is just as strong. Klese is rangier, with speed and a similarly massive engine. He’s the fourth of 10 Haas children so you know he’s learned how to tackle.
