SCHOOLBOY TALENT EYEING NRL FUTURE

Some stars of the future were on show when North Queensland’s Kirwan State High beat Westfields Sports High 16-10 in the NRL Schoolboys Cup grand final at Campbelltown on Wednesday.

Kirwan hooker Adrian Trevilyan is one name NRL fans should remember for future reference after he was awarded the Peter Sterling Medal for player of the tournament, while halfback Bradley Schneider was also a standout along with centre Tyreece Woods and backrower Jeremiah Nanai.

While Trevilyan is in talks with the Cowboys where Woods and Nanai are also in the development system, the Canberra Raiders have snapped up Schneider.

For Westfields, Manly hooker Manase Fainu’s younger brother Sione, who was under 18s State player of the year, was a standout in the front row while another of Willie Talau’s boys, Cooper, looked strong at lock.

Cooper Talau is with the Bulldogs and is the younger brother of Wests Tigers rookie Tommy.

Parramatta junior backrower Trey Mooney was also solid while halfback Gordon Chan Kum Tong, signed with Manly, is a livewire.

Good stuff Mal, for a moment there I thought you were recommending a dish at your local chinese restaurant

 

[Cameron]

He sounds like an upgrade from DCE to GCKT 🙂

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Can we maybe just go for Gordie Tong, that would be much easier.

 

[Shnorky]

Can we drop one of his names, getting mixed up with kumofsumyunggai

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Hope he's as tough as these Tongs:

 

[ricardo]

Come to Manly ...

 

[lsz]

Rabs will have wanted to retire before he is passing the ball the Guac...

Certainly taking the acronym names to a new level. We have DCE, AFB and ZDC. Now we have GCKT.

Everybody was Chan Kum-Tong fighting
Those Sea Eagles were fast as lightning
In fact, it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Good on him, can’t remember an Asian guy playing with us before but maybe I’m wrong about that.

Sorta looks like Jackie Chan doesn’t he???

 

[ricardo]

GT will do just fine.

 

[Blucky]

Certainly taking the acronym names to a new level. We have DCE, AFB and ZDC. Now we have GCKT.

Not to forget ZtC

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Not to forget ZtC

How could we forget , thank **** he’s gone!!

 

[Captain Moondog]

Michael Chee Kam was Chinese Samoan descent, can't think of any others.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Michael Chee Kam was Chinese Samoan descent, can't think of any others.

I thought about him but he looked way more Samoan than Asian.

 

[The Wheel]

I thought about him but he looked way more Samoan than Asian.

Apparently Inglis was a lot more Brisbane than Macksville so I am not surprised you got MCK mixed up

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

His signature field goal will be the Kum Shot

I’ll see myself out ...

 

[Top End Eagle]

They still lost to Kirwan. I’m becoming a townsvillean. Seriously good job from a team with mostly year ten and eleven kids. Against players coming through the Sydney junior systems.
