The National Schoolgirl and Schoolboy Cup finals are coming to Cbus Super Stadium this afternoon and there will be a distinct Titans flavour to the day.
Ipswich State High School will represent Queensland in the Schoolgirls finals on the back of winning the Titans' Kinetic Schools League earlier in the year, while in the schoolboys, Titans affiliate school, Palm Beach Currumbin, will look to go one better in the final, after losing to Westfields Sports High 38-4 in the 2023 edition.
The games are open to the public and the two major finals will be streamed live and free on 9GEM.

In the Palm Beach Currumbin side, Future Titans Zane Harrison and Sam Stephenson will look to lead their sides' charge after both were selected for the Queensland Schoolboys under 18s side recently, with Stephenson going on to be named in the Australian under 18s side also.
Beyond the on-field action a VIP function will feature Schoolboy Cup graduates, and current Titans NRL players, Tom Weaver and Ryan Foran as guest speakers.
Ipswich State High School will also carry the club’s logo on their shirt, with the Titans League champions featuring a number of pathway players for the club.
The Titans take pride in managing the premier schoolgirl competition in South-East Queensland, with the league producing 2022 State Champions Marsden SHS and inaugural National Champions Mabel Park SHS, in 2023.
The competition has and continues to establish itself as a crucial pathway for future NRLW talent.
If that is not enough Titans for one day, their will be four Karyn Murphy Cup fixtures as part of the day, with the newly-added member of the NRL Hall of Fame on hand to oversee the fixtures.
