JORDAN SCOTT (BURLEIGH, HOOKER)

Coach Matt Foster says:

“He makes good decisions around the ruck. When you get good go-forward, it’s up to your no.9 to run when the space is available or get the team into the right places. Over the year he has done this well and he’s also making some big tackles in defence.

JACOB POTTINGER (SOUTHPORT, HOOKER/LOCK)

The Bulletin’s Brent O’Neill says:

“With the versatility to play dummy half or at the back of the scrum, Pottinger is a key figure in the Tigers’ middle third. He will bring confidence to a Southport side entering the finals on the back of three-straight losses.

DAN MORTIMER (CURRUMBIN, HALFBACK)

Coach Ryan Gundry says:

“He comes with plenty of big-game experience. We got him to the club to run the team for us so he’s probably the standout for us. He’s definitely a key to our success. Whenever he plays well, we play well.

ETHAN ROBERTS (TUGUN, LOCK)

Coach Clint Barends says:

“He’s got it all. He’s a terrific defencer and a hard ball-runner. He’s got some hard runs in him and the skills of a five-eighth or halfback. He’s a real gamebreaker for us.

TITANS SHOCK: ‘I’M TO BLAME FOR CLUB’S DEMISE’

JAMES POLAND (RUNAWAY BAY, FIVE-EIGHTH)

Coach Nick Gleeson says:

“He’s been at our club over 10 years and being our club captain, he’s a big-game player. He’s played in a lot of big games and a lot of the younger boys look up to him because he’s been around a long time. If he plays well, we have a good chance of winning.
