Under 12s player profiles
Beniel Qereqeretabua: Hard running forward that likes to run off his half back, out wide. Best defence player in the league.
Nicklas Manwaring: A try scoring machine with speed to burn. One of the smallest players with the biggest heart brings the biggest players down with ease.
Cody Brown: Out with injury, will miss his dummy half and half back experience.
Ned Halls: Out with injury, his speed will surely be missed. This first year league player is something special.
Kai Gearing: Has become a tough defender who is not afraid to but his body on the line. He is growing confidence in every game, has great hands and rarely makes a mistake.
Blake McDonald: Halfback/Hooker are his key positions but could play anywhere the coaching staff asks. Great all round defender or attacker with a beautiful kicking game.
Kalem Thompson: Out with injury, “the general”. His inspirational attack and defence will be surely missed.
Noah Maybon: Big prop forward, willing to do the hard yards with a great offload.
Cody Tatt: Pulled off some big hits last weekend and made some good yards out of dummy-half. Gives great service to his halves.
Josh Davis: Prop or second rower. His hard-hitting defence leaves the opposition in pain.
Jaite Eyles: A backrower with good ball skills, had a great defensive game last weekend.
Callum Dunn: Leads by example week in and week out.Has a great defensive game with a beautiful tackling technique.
Logan Mahalm: Lock forward with the attributes for a great league player. Speed, size, strength and a will to win.
