@mdrew do you have any more info on Flynn Laffracnchi is he primarily a fullback? Any similarities to other fullbacks in the squad?

Definately a fullback, very light on his feet and was one of the Titans best in their strong 20-8 victory against Newcastle U17's last month.

Currently playing for the Tweed Heads CC Cup side and likley will start at fullback for PBC in the Langer Cup.

A touch different to other fullback options in the Future Titans program and has decent ball playing skills due to playing a fair bit in the halves earlier in his junior rugby league career.
