LANGER CUP 2021: Complete guide to all the Coast teams
DEVASTATING INJURY OPENS DOOR FOR BRONCOS SIGNING
Palm Beach Currumbin lost inspirational skipper and Brisbane Broncos-contracted centre Damon Somerville for the season after a devastating knee injury.
Somerville’s injury saw rising New Zealand star Deine Mariner, 17, thrust into the starting line-up for the first time against St Mary’s.
These are the stunning lengths the Mariner family has gone to give their boy every chance of success.
PBC TEEN COULD BE AUSTRALIA’S FASTEST RUGBY LEAGUE PLAYER
Josh Addo-Carr, James Roberts, Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow... the NRL’s speed kings had better savour their time in the spotlight because a new contender is emerging.
Palm Beach Currumbin outside back Xavier Savage is quick-thinking, quick-talking and blazing quick on the football field.
At 16 the Cairns product recorded his personal best 100 metre time - the fastest time of any rugby league player in the country and an all-time state record for his age.

HOME ALONE: KEEBRA PARK FORWARD HAS LIVED SOLO SINCE 16
Scores of budding rugby league players have commuted long distances to chase their dreams at Keebra Park but few have totally uprooted their lives for the school.
Utility forward Yorel Alapaki is one of them.
At 16 the South Auckland product left his tight-knit family behind to move to the Gold Coast for a chance to attend Keebra Park. He’s lived alone in an Ashmore unit complex ever since.
This is his story of sacrifice and determination.
LITTLE BROTHER OF KEEBRA ROYALTY RETURNS TO HAUNT FAMOUS SCHOOL
The kid brother of Gold Coast Titans prop Moeaki Fotuaika has snubbed the school his brother made history at to break free of his shadow and blaze his own trail to the NRL.
Sione Fotuaika, 16, moved to Queensland from New Zealand this year to follow in the footsteps of his three older brothers into professional sporting careers.
“I wanted to find somewhere new and find my legacy with myself,” the quietly-spoken prop said.
THREE INJURIES, ONE WEEK: THE COURAGE OF BAILEY MARTIN
Palm Beach Currumbin forward Bailey Martin might not look like it but the 174 centimetre lock could be the toughest teenager in Queensland rugby league.
Martin was 16 years old when his school coach Brad Davis selected him to represent Queensland’s Cities. During training camp Martin dislocated his shoulder.
Usually that would mean six weeks on the sidelines from the moment he regained full range of movement.
Martin chose to play on that weekend anyway. He did it for his mates.
KEEBRA PARK PROP DWARFS BIGGEST TITAN IN HISTORY
Moeaki Fotuaika, Luke Bailey, Dave Taylor - this Keebra Park prop dwarfs them all.
Find out how Isaac Matalavea-Booth and Herman Tofaeono stack up against the bigger schoolboys in Queensland’s elite rugby league competition.
COACH’S HEARTFELT TRIBUTE TO LATE KEEBRA STAR
Keebra Park coach Glen Campbell described Fotuaika as the glue that held the 2009 Keebra pack together as they marched on to their own national title, the first in the school’s history.
Three years, six months and 22 days later, Mosese Fotuaika took his own life after suffering an injury that would have ruled him out of the Wests Tigers’ 2013 NRL season.
Rugby league in Australia, especially at Keebra Park, would never be the same.
RIVALRY RE-TOLD: THE BEST KEEBRA V PBC CLASHES IN HISTORY
“It’s my favourite day of the year bar none – including Christmas,” coach Glen Campbell said.
“I so look forward to two quality, competitive sides playing that I get enthralled myself.”
