Young Titan’s U18s call

GOLD Coast Titans forward Reihana Marsh will get his first taste of Origin football after being named in Queensland’s under-18 team to play a curtain-raiser against NSW ahead of Game Two in Sydney next Wednesday.

The second-rower only graduated from Coombabah High last year but is already a regular member of Ben Woolf’s under-20 team and a significant contributor during their push into the Holden Cup top eight.

Marsh has been named at lock for the the young Maroons, who will be guided by former Queensland Origin player Josh Hannay. Marsh has played 12 games for the Titans this season, averaging 90.4m and 23.6 tackles per game to emerge as one of the club’s most exciting young players.
