Keebra Park product Tanah Boyd was among the 24 players picked in the under-20 bracket, with ex-Titans young gun Reihana Marsh also selected.

Inaugural Titans halfback Scott Prince will coach the squad, having assisted Justin Hodges the past two years.

A number of players from the Palm Beach Currumbin team that won the NRL Schoolboy Cup national championship this year feature in the 27-strong under-18 list, including Juwan Compain, Ryan Garner, Toby Sexton, Tom Dearden and Will Evans.

Compain and Evans are both Titans-contracted, as are fellow squad members Alofiana Khan-Pereira and Tristan Powell.

Reece Walsh and Xavier Coates were among the other Gold Coast products selected.

Kurt Richards will coach the under-18 group.

Both the under-18 and under-20 squads will head to Brisbane for a camp from December 12-15.

Compain and Dearden will not be able to attend, however, due to being on an Australian Schoolboys tour to the United Kingdom.
