Under 19 Team Change

Forward Ben Matterson has been called into the 2006 XXXX Queensland Under 19 team, replacing Paoa Faamita of the Bulldogs.

Faamita has been suspended for one game by the NSWRL judiciary for use of knees in a club match last weekend.

His replacement Matterson represents the Norths Devils club and was a member of their 2005 premiership Colts side.

Coming from an athletics background, Matterson was raised on Stradbroke Island before moving to the Newcastle district in his teens and playing junior football for Central Charlestown.

He returned to Queensland and played his first recognised senior football with Wavell State High and the Norths Devils.
