Queensland win U19s State of Origin

Queensland have defeated New South Wales 23-22 in a tightly contested U19 State of Origin clash at Sunshine Coast Stadium, sealed by a clutch second-half response after withstanding a late NSW comeback.

The Maroons controlled the early stages, racing to a 13-6 lead at halftime off the back of first-half tries to Cooper Bai and Zac Garton.

A 34th-minute field goal from Coby Black proved critical, nudging Queensland’s lead beyond a converted try right before the break.

Black then extended the lead himself in the 36th minute with a well-timed try, putting Queensland up 17-6.

But New South Wales found their rhythm shortly after, scoring three tries in quick succession, through Stanley-Traill, Hopwood and Allen, to turn the game on its head and lead 22-17.

With the game slipping, Queensland regrouped. In the 63rd minute, Prestyn Laine-Sietu crashed over to level the scores, before Javon Andrews nailed the conversion to reclaim the lead.

That 23-22 margin would hold for the final seven minutes, despite pressure from the Blues.

Head coach Darius Boyd was pleased with the result and the preparation that led to it.

“The boys worked hard all week and really bought into everything we were trying to do,” Boyd said.

“That one-point win doesn’t happen without the effort they put in during camp.”

It was a composed and disciplined Queensland performance for most of the game, and when the contest got tight late, they responded with the key play that mattered.

Cutters win inaugural Women’s U 19 grand final

Resilient Cutters take out inaugural Harvey Norman Under 19 grand final

A gutsy, brave Mackay Cutters side have taken out the inaugural Harvey Norman Under 19 grand final 18-16 over Brisbane Tigers.

The game at Totally Workwear Stadium was entertaining, tough and a true arm wrestle; down two players through injury for the final 17 minutes of the game, the Cutters held on to their lead despite the best efforts from the Tigers.

There was a lengthy delay in play – more than 45 minutes – after Cutters No.13 Leila Murphy injured her ankle around the 42-minute mark; once the ambulance took her away – to an applauding crowd – it was game on between the two sides.

The crowd was going wild as they battled for the win.

Cutters assistant coach Jamaiah Hutchison said he was simply pumped following the epic clash and was so proud of the resilience and effort put in.

“It was a bit nerve-wracking towards the end but very exciting for the girls,” Hutchison said.

Tigers 16 – 18 Cutters

Venue: Totally Workwear Stadium, Brisbane

“With a really big stoppage it’s kind of hard to keep everyone on track for how long the girls were out for.

We just took a step back and tried to realise what we had to do as our job, get back into our warm-up and try and execute what we’ve been doing really well for that whole game.

“The Tigers started strong… they’ve got a big pack and we thought they were going to really use it quite well so we made a couple of changes to try and suit the physicality.

They obviously had the home crowd advantage… we could barely hear ourselves talk over the crowd so we expected they were going to come out guns blazing.

“We had a few tries saved on the line. The girls put themselves in a position for match-winning moments in the game, so they did that really well and showed a lot of resilience.”

Cutters halfback and captain Mersades Lawson and centre Jennifer Kimber both scored doubles in the game as they kept the edge over the Tigers to claim the 18-16 win.

And it was hooker Paityne Johns who claimed player of the match honours.

Hutchison said Cutters head coach Matt Sanders, absent for personal reasons, would be so proud of his side.

“Matt will be over the moon… he called me about 30 times through the game, as he should, but he’ll be over the moon,” Hutchison said.

“I already know exactly how he would’ve reacted too… he would’ve jumped up from his chair and started cheering and I’m sure there would’ve been someone telling him to calm down.

“Very happy for Matt.

He deserves this more than anyone, in his role for the last three of four years, and he has earned it.”

Hutchison said winning this first Harvey Norman Under 19 grand final – making history – was “massive for the club”.

“It shows just how good our football is up north,” Hutchison said.

“The girls worked so hard for it… they put the work and effort in there and got the result.”

NSW Under 19s return to Origin arena with a vengeance

The NSW Under 19s returned to the State of Origin arena with a vengeance tonight after scoring a commanding 32-4 win over Queensland at Leichhardt Oval.

It was the first time an Under 19s game had been played in three years with the previous two editions forced to be cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

NSW halfback Jonah Pezet was named Player of the Match after a dominant performance which saw him set up four tries. NSW were 4-0 down early but rallied strongly after that to never look back.

They took a 24-4 lead into the break and although Queensland fought back in the second half they still managed to hold them scoreless.

“I’d like to thank Queensland for the game tonight, it was tough out there for both of us,” Pezet said.

“Thanks to the coaching staff for the week, it’s been outstanding and to our boys it’s been unbelievable. Thanks to all the fans, families and friends for coming out and up NSW!”

NSW captain and prop Trey Mooney said: “It was exciting. It was good to see the young boys step up and play an awesome game.

“I live for the big games and moments like this and hopefully I can continue on with my career.”

Queensland went on the attack early with Mooney pulling out a great tackle on his own line to save an early try.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to halt the momentum of the visitors with halfback Thomas Duffy putting a deft kick through for winger Jacob Mene to score.

Duffy was unable to land the sideline conversion, but Queensland had an early 4-0 lead.

From that point on it was all NSW for the rest of the first half.

Centre Brad Morkos got the ball rolling with a nice catch and pass for winger Utuloa Asomua to step back past the goal-line defence and score. Five-eighth Thomas Weaver landed the conversion for a 6-4 lead.

Halfback Jonah Pezet then took over after throwing a cut-out pass for centre Paul Alamoti to take advantage of a Queensland defender slipping over to score. Weaver again banged over the conversion to make it 12-4.

Pezet then showed great skill to shape to grubber kick before noticing that winger Jack Bostock was looming out wide.

The NSW halfback put a deft kick over the top which went over the head of Mene and into the arms of Bostock to touch down. Weaver had no trouble with the sideline conversion to make it 18-4.

Pezet completed the first half rout when he placed a grubber kick through which shaved the post and slowed up just enough for Weaver to grab and plant down before sliding past the dead ball line.

He maintained his perfect kicking record from right in front to put NSW in control at 24-4 at the break.

It was a flawless first-half performance for NSW who had 52 per cent of possession, completed 19 of 20 sets and ran 805 metres to Queensland’s 665.

The second half got off to a tough start for both sides after NSW’s Jacob Webster and Queensland’s Benjamin Te Kura clashed heads and were ruled out for the rest of the match.

Queensland had their opportunities to score but the NSW defence held tough and denied them each time.

The best chance came when Duffy put a kick through for five-eighth Harradyn Wilson but NSW back-rower Oryn Keeley arrived to tackle him, dislodge the ball and save the day.

Queensland were then reduced to 12 players after hooker Blake Mozer was given 10 minutes in the sin bin for a dangerous throw on Pezet. Weaver landed the penalty goal to extend the lead to 26-4.

Pezet then capped a memorable night when he threw a pass over the top for Asomua to cross out wide for his second try of the night.

Weaver confirmed it was going to be a night where everything was going to go right for NSW after his conversion went over after hitting the upright.

“We came into camp on Saturday and we just gelled together so well,” Weaver said.

“That just showed on the field out there, it was great to get the win.

“We knew they were going to come out strong from the start. We knew we just had to hang in there and keep going and we’d win it in the back end.

“To be able to play in our home ground in NSW was awesome and it was awesome to get the win here.”
