From playground to playmaker The schools that make NRL stars

In western Sydney, two high schools have become certified champion factories for NRL clubs.

Churning out players for 15 of the NRL’s 17 clubs, Patrician Brothers’ College Blacktown and Westfields Sports High School in Fairfield West educated 52 players in the current competition, and their playing fields are teeming with future stars.

Data on the high schools attended by 98 per cent of NRL players, compiled by this masthead, reveals the league’s 500-odd players attended more than 250 high schools, with an almost even split between public and independent education.

Boasting 31 players across 13 teams, Patrician Brothers, in Sydney’s north-west, leads the pack, with Spencer Leniu, Terrell May and Jarome Luai among its alumni. Further south, Westfields Sports High School has 21 ex-students across nine teams.

This masthead categorised schools as either being public, independent, or overseas. The Gold Coast Titans had the highest percentage of publicly educated players, at 77 per cent.

Eighty-one per cent of Sydney Roosters players went to private schools, including Knox Grammar and Newington College, more than any other team.

In fact, more Roosters players attended Bellevue Hill’s Scots College than public school.

Public schools were seven top 10 schools for educating players, and 45 per cent of total schools attended by players. Independent schools made up 41 per cent, and overseas schools 14 per cent.

NSW also claimed seven schools in the top 10. Queensland public schools Keebra Park, Palm Beach Currumbin and Wavell State High took out third, fifth and eighth place, respectively.

Patrician Brothers’ head of rugby league, Greg Beacroft, said that the school’s reputation “means a lot” to students, but the competitiveness of the sport meant there was a broader responsibility in ushering players through its halls.

All classifications are Australia-centric. Warriors players educated “overseas” were educated in New Zealand; “public” and “independent” were educated in Australia.

“We tell the kids – particularly when they come in year 7: ‘You’re not coming here to play rugby league. Your first priority is to get a good education. Your second priority is to be a good, respectful person.’ We see rugby league as a bonus.”

Of the school’s ex-students in the league, more than half play in local clubs, with four players in the Bulldogs, Eels, Panthers and Tigers, respectively.

The school has up to 15 rugby league teams, with teachers and many former students serving as coaches. Training – typically two or three sessions a week – is scheduled around students’ external club commitments.

Beacroft said the X-factor that made Patrician Brothers so successful was a school community that “as a whole wants to help students achieve their best” and prioritised community outreach, including volunteering missions to feed the homeless.

“We live in an area where rugby league is very dominant,” said Beacroft. “You put all those factors together, and you get a school that wants to help kids do well and has high expectations in all areas. That’s a perfect partnership for those kids who are looking to further themselves.”

At Westfields Sports High – the alma mater of nine Tigers players – players train three to four times a week on the field and in the gym.

Westfields’ sport director Troy Weeden said each student came with a different set of skills, and he didn’t “want to put a label on them when they’re 12 years old, that they’re going to play NRL or not”.

“They’ve all got their own pathway. Some come here almost ready to go physically, and it might be a matter of upskilling them. Some might have a very different path where it might take them five or six years before they really have the confidence to show that ability.”

However, some players, like Raiders prop Trey Mooney and Tigers five-eighth Lachlan Galvin, show promise for a professional career from day one.

“From quite an early stage, he had all the makings,” Weeden said of Galvin.

“He had the competitiveness, he had the ability to read the game, he had the skill level, but probably didn’t have the physical nature that some of the other kids have had.

“I don’t think you ever see it when they’re 12 or 13. By the age of 16 or 17, you get a pretty good gauge of whether a kid could kick on. But you could never write off a player at a young age because of the different pathways they’re on.”

Athletes in Westfields’ rugby program are required to maintain good grades and 90 per cent attendance to play in their teams. Weeden said this was vital as many players are the first in their family to complete an HSC.

“They come to us with a focus on rugby league, but we’ve got to show them that rugby league only gets them 10 to 12 years of a great career.

They’ve got another 30 years where they’ve got to figure out their pathway through work, and not everyone’s going to get there.

There are 230 students in this rugby league program.

At most, we might get 10 to 15 in [the NRL].”

PBC win in last minute thriller

Palm Beach Currumbin v Patrician Brothers College Blacktown, NRL Schoolboys Cup final

A single moment stranded in time between two young flyers has defined a massive year of NRL Schoolboys Cup – but in the end, only one could prevail. Watch the full match

Watch the full game replay from an epic grand final clash between Palm Beach Currumbin and Patrician Brothers Blacktown as they battle it out for the NRL Schoolboys Cup National title.

The Steeden floated high above the Cbus Super Stadium turf.

With 90 seconds left in the NRL Schoolboys Cup national final, and two points bewteen the sides, time stood still.

The entire stadium crowd drew a collective breath as opposing wingers Patrician Brothers’ Chad Riddle and Palm Beach Currumbin’s Beau Hatmann leapt as the footy tumbled down from the sky – and Hartmann prevailed.

He picked Riddle’s pocket and surged towards the stripe untouched with 90 seconds left on the clock to hand Palm Beach Currumbin a two-point lead – just minutes after he had dropped a similar chance at full stretch for what would’ve been a certain try.

The moment meant Palm Beach Currumbin clinched their third NRL national schoolboys title in a gripping 18-16 triumph over Patrician Brothers College, Blacktown. It was a win as special as they come, in a match as gripping as they come.

“I don’t even know, it was a perfect kick,” said Hartmann of the magical try after the game.

“I couldn’t have done it without Zane (haflback Harrison). It came down to luck really.

“I can’t describe it, it’s just so good, it’s the best feeling ever.”

The result was a repeat of 2018 where the same outcome ensued between the two schools. On that day, Tom Dearden was the star for Palm Beach Currumbin.

This time, it was another Reds half in Zane Harrison.

Harrison was amazing. The final try was just reward for a great kicking display for the full 60 minutes, and his defence was as good as his attack.

Twice he scooped up the footy in dangerous territory and scurried out of the in-goal to save PBC’s blushes.

PBC coach Tim Maccan was full of praise

PBC coach Tim Maccan was full of praise for his star half, who is signed to the Titans and seems destined to have a long career lighting up Cbus Super Stadium ahead of him.

“He’s the type of player where you just give him the keys and he drives it for you. I love him. He’s been my halfback for the last three years and he’s been unbelievable,” Maccan said.

PBC defended gallantly all day, fighting tooth and nail under immense pressure against a star-studded Patties Blacktown outfit containing four Australian Schoolboys representatives.

The earlier two tries came courtesy of Reuben Tamariki, who spearheaded the Palm Beach Currumbin forward pack all day and earned himself a double thanks to some brilliant hole running.

“He’s had his best season this year, he really dug deep at times when we needed him and he did a great job today,” Maccan said.

The Reds coach was equally impressed with Marley Igasan, who had been absent from the side for the past three weeks.

“He was unbelievable, he played almost a whole game …. he’s been training his butt off in our extended group, he was amazing.”

PBC had led for much of the second half until Pats Blacktown five-eighth and co-captain Jared Haywood turned the match on its head in a matter of minutes with two superb cut out passes to set up back-to-back tries.

His first floater sent gun lock Tyson Sangalang under the posts, before he broke apart the Reds edge defence in a matter of seconds as he slowed himself to draw in the defence before picking out Riddle.

It’s no wonder Dragons coach Shane Flanagan rates front-rower Jacob Halangahu so highly given he delivered bruising run after bruising run through the middle and drove his side into very dangerous territory.

The loss continues a sorry streak for the proud Sydney school, who have just a lone national title to show for eight national final appearances.

For Maccan, a simple age-old cliche told him everything he needed to know. And it was one that proved hard to argue with come full-time.

“I just told the boys that (Patrician) have a lot of individual champions in their team,” he said.

“But we’re a champion team and that’ll always beat it.”

Position: Backrow, NRL club: Dragons

The most damaging player in schoolboys rugby league. Halangahu has a competitive fire that cannot be extinguished. He will hit hard and run even harder, keep an eye out for a game-changing offload.

While he is definitely in a mould of his own, the Dragons SG Ball winner plays a similar game to Titans big man David Fifita.

Position: Halfback, NRL club: Titans

The mercurial halfback will make a welcome return for Palm Beach Currumbin in the national final after his well-publicised absence from the state final due to concussion. The Titans have just extended the young gun’s contract in a sign of just what he brings to the party. A natural leader on the field, he will have a hand in everything PBC does.

Lachlan Coinakis, Patrician Brothers Blacktown

Position: Hooker, NRL club: Eels

The Eels young gun plays eyes up football behind the ruck, and will be able to spot an issue with the markers before they realise there is one. Every play for the Patties side begins with Coinakis, and the Australian Schoolboys representative will be determined to get them on the front foot early.

Position: Centre, NRL club: Titans

The damaging ballrunner can be even more damaging without it.

The Titans young gun, who spent a pre-season with their NRL side last Summer, has been a revelation out wide for Palm Beach Currumbin in recent years.

He was also part of the Queensland Under-19 Origin squad this year and picked in the Australian Schoolboys side.

Jhett Sydir, Patrician Brothers, Blacktown

Position: Halfback, NRL club: Panthers

He hasn’t played a game of rugby league in more than two months, but don’t expect Sydir to be putting the handbrake on in this one.

He targeted the national final as his return, and will be desperate to deliver that premiership glory to his school in his final year. Possesses a strong running game and will be the chief organiser for the Patties attack.

Sharks supply three Australian Schoolboys reps

The Sharks congratulate Nikora Williams, Alex Challenor and Tom Dellow on being selected to represent the Australian Schoolboys after shining at last week’s national championships in Coffs Harbour.

The trio are local juniors who have been members of Cronulla’s elite pathways system since the under 14s, with Williams hailing from the Aquinas club, Challenor a De La Salle Caringbah product and Dellow a Como-Jannali alumnus.

Challenor’s under-18 NSW Combined Catholic Colleges side took out the ASSRL Championships final with a 40-12 win over a NSW Combined High Schools team captained by Williams and containing Dellow and fellow Shark Aaron Keppie.

Dellow – the reigning Sharks Junior Representative Player of the Year – was awarded the prestigious title of CHS Player of the Carnival.

Williams, a classy centre who can kick goals, has earned his second Australian Schoolboys jumper after facing Papua New Guinea in Port Moresby in 2023.

The Schoolboys stars impressed for Cronulla in this year’s junior representative season. Dellow, a tough, skilful lock, led the under-17 Harold Matthews Cup side to week two of the finals, where they were edged out 8-6 by the Magpies.

Powerful prop Challenor and Williams combined in the under-19 SG Ball Cup ranks.

Williams has since graduated to the under-21 Jersey Flegg Cup team, more than holding his own in the backline against older opponents.

The Australian Schoolboys will play later in the year, with details to come.

See the full squad below.

Dragons break 32-year drought

The St George Dragons have secured their first UNE SG Ball Cup Premiership in 32 years after defeating the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 40-18 at today’s Grand Final at CommBank Stadium.

The Dragons drought stretched back to 1992 but today they also secured the club’s fourth Under 19s premiership.

“We were well aware of it being such a big occasion for the club,” Dragons coach and former Bulldogs NRL player, Willie Talau, said after the win.

“Hopefully this is a reflection of the direction the whole club is heading.

“I’m happy we got to showcase our skills.”

They did that in an eight tries to four win, watched by St George Illawarra NRL coach Shane Flanagan.

Dragons wingers Jesse Williams and Zachariah Nachar both bagged doubles while five-eighth Shadi Hammoud had the ball on a string with his kicking game being a key factor in the Dragons win.

The Bulldogs started the game strong in attack and wasted no time opening their scoreboard, with a try in the opening minute of the game.

Working their way to the 10-metre line, the ball was quickly shifted out to the left before a nice flick pass from fullback Roy Tatupu found winger Hamish Wilson, who scored in the corner (4-0).

It didn’t take the Dragons long to draw level, off the back of a penalty St George found themselves in great field position.

Sending the ball out to the right, Hammoud sent a cut out pass to Nachar who scored in the corner (4-4).

Holding all the momentum the Dragons went on to post four unanswered tries in 27 minutes to take their lead out to 26-4 heading into the break.

St George started the second half how they finished the first, with strong running which saw the Red-V players march their way up the field on each set.

The score was extended in the 37th minute through centre Lyric Craft-Te Moananui regathering the ball off a fifth-play kick before fending off a Bulldogs defender to score (32-4).

Off the back of a Bulldogs knock on, the Dragons were back in Bulldogs territory once again.

Quick hands from the Dragons fullback Tyler Peckham-Harris saw the No.1 send a quick pass out ball to Nachar who crossed for his second of the day (36-4).

The Bulldogs found the line for the second time in the game in the 36th minute when winger Ratu Rinakama found space out on the left edge to race down the sideline to score (36-8).

With 16 minutes remaining the Dragons were not finished scoring another four-pointer through centre David Afu, who pushed out the lead even further.

Two late tries to the Bulldogs brought the final score to 40-18.

Bulldogs complete the perfect season in Lisa Fiaola Cup

Winger Asha Taumoepeau-Williams collected four tries as Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs etched their place in history with a convincing 36-0 win over the Wests Tigers in the inaugural Grand Final of the Westpac Lisa Fiaola Cup.

Taumoepeau-Williams continued what she’s been producing all season for the Under 17s girls.

She had 11 tries coming into today’s decider and ratcheted that up to 15 by the end of the match.

But the one to snatch Player of the Match was hooker Mary-Jane Taito for her scheming work around the ruck and her relentless defence.

Former dual international Lisa Fiaola presented the match ball to Taito and congratulated five-eighth Evelyn Roberts, who scored two tries today.

Evelyn Roberts was named Player of the Series.

Team Stats

Play by Play

Bulldogs coach Michael Stuart had warned his team not to expect everything to go their way in the finals even though they had been the dominant team all season to finish as Minor Premiers.

“Finals is a whole new competition, so we prepared a little bit differently to reflect that,” Stuart told nswrl.com.au

The Bulldogs beat the Newcastle Knights 22-4 in last weekend’s Semi-final to concede just one try in two matches while scoring 13 of their own.

“The girls deserve it, they’ve had a long, hard seven months and this is just the icing on the cake,” Stuart said.

“We’ve got a lot of local girls in the team. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team bond and come together as quick as these girls have.”

As for his winger’s four tries: “She’s only 15; turns 16 in November; and she’s a superstar.”

Taumoepeu-Williams said she had scored four tries before for her junior club in New Zealand.

“But it feels good to do it today,” she said. “We’ve bonded so well in a short amount of time. My teammates are my friends and like family.”

And as for the secret to scoring so often in a grand final?

“I just trusted my team.”

This was the Bulldogs 10th straight victory – eight in the regular season and two finals.

It might have been first versus fifth on the ladder, but the Wests Tigers mustered a fine Semi-final win with a 32-14 upset over the second-placed Illawarra Steelers.

Although they tried hard, they were denied possession today and were outclassed in the middle and on the edges.

A try in the opening minute, and then three more in a six minute period later in the first half, helped the Bulldogs to a commanding 18-0 half-time lead.

They gobbled up possession, restricting the Wests Tigers to only two entries into their territory for the first 30 minutes.

It was the Bulldogs right edge that shone – three of their first four tries came down that channel.

The first try was off a Tigers mistake in the opening set. On the third play the Bulldogs shot the ball through the hands for Taumoepeau-Williams to score his first for the day – her 12th for the season.

She followed up with a second in the 18th minute after a neat chip kick from halfback and skipper Olivia Vaalele.

The other first-half tries came from second rower Aliahana Fuimaono – cousin of Westpac NSW Sky Blues utility Taliah Fuimaono – who put on a mighty left fend to see her way to the chalk.

Then in the 20th minute five-eighth Evelyn Roberts stepped off her left foot, then her right, for a fine individual try.

The Wests Tigers were awarded the only penalty of the first half but were unable to capitalise.

In the second half the dominance continued with another three tries, including Taumoepeau-Williams grabbing her third and fourth.

Roberts bagged her second and centre Lahnayah Daniel got onto the scoresheet supporting Roberts, who drew in the defence on the left edge.

The win in the metropolitan version of the Lisa Fiaola Cup followed a 22-8 win by the Western Rams 22-8 over the Northern Tigers last March in the regional NSW competition of the same name.

NSWCIS win ASSRL u15 Championships

NSW Combined Independent Schools have claimed back-to-back ASSRL Under-15 boys championships after a tense 18-10 win over Queensland Maroon in the final.

While it was a classic final encounter, which leant into all the feelings of a State of Origin showdown, there was one passage of play that defined the NSWCIS glory.

NSWCIS & Queensland u15 Schooboys after the Championship final (Photo : Steve Montgomery)

Watch a full replay of QRSS Maroon v NSWCIS (15 boys A championship final).

Camped on their own line in defence midway through the first half, NSWCIS front rower Cameron Makey pulled off a remarkable try-saving tackle, holding rival Christian Rivers up over the line before muscling him back into the field of play.

His effort was backed up by another try-saver on the last tackle.

But it was on the ensuing set, when five-eighth Talen Risati put in a booming 40-20, which started on his own 30 metre line, which truly turned the contest.

NSWCIS scored the first try of the game off the following play the ball, through big boppa Isaiah Shock, and never looked back.

Risati and dummy-half Ashton Large put in five-star performances to power their side to victory.

Queensland Maroon refused to give up the fight, and managed to get themselves back in the game with a try to Kingston Seve to head to the sheds 12-4 down at halftime.

NSWCIS maintained their advantage throughout the second half, and looked to have pushed ahead on two more occasions except for the final pass floating forward out of the hands.

The errors almost became costly for the side when Ignatius Park College halfback Riley Carbone split the defence to bring Queensland Maroon back within two points.

But that was the closest they would come to the title, with NSWCIS lock forward Sam Polley streaming through a gap in the final minutes to seal the national title.

Under-16 Girls final – Queensland v NSW Combined High Schools

Queensland have claimed the inaugural u16 girls ASSRL national championship after a gutsy 28-16 win over NSWCHS.

CHS started off well, securing a try in the opening minutes from consistent scorer Brandy Simpson.

But from there it was all Queensland, who scored two tries from Deleni Paitai and Okalani Compton for a solid 16-4 half time advantage.

It only took three minutes into the second half to add more points with Shalom Sauaso finding space for another try.

CHS we’re sloppy in possession, letting the Queenslanders gain solid meters in counterattacks.

CHS started their comeback midway though the second half with Koffi Brookfield ploughing through to the line to get the deficit down to 12 points.

Sauaso got her second try almost immediately after and despite CHS’s never say die attitude, Queensland took the win 28-16.

Boys Pool B Final – First Nations Goannas v Western Australia

The Goannas have clinched the John Allen Trophy as Under-15 Boys Pool B winners at the ASSRL Nationals after a golden-point thriller.

After the Goanna’s 40-6 thrashing of Western Australia in the pool stage, no one expected such a close battle in the Pool B grand final.

The Goannas appeared down and out in the final minutes, before a piece of magic from centre Jimi Kusu sent the match into extra time.

.
Up stepped the man of the moment, Goannas halfback Callum Miskell, who threw caution to the wind and barrelled his way across the stripe to secure a 20-16 win.

It was a seesawing contest, with the two sides trading blows down the stretch.

WA’s Carter Nikita opened the scoring just seven minutes in, but the Goanna’s Ashton Allen responded just two minutes later to even the scoring.

The Goannas went a man down after fullback Kyron Nixon-Croaker was sent to the bin for a dangerous lifting tackle.

WA wasted no time taking advantage as Kyron Arthy gave his side an 8-4 lead at half time.

The Goannas struck straight away in the second half with Jerome Murgha once again levelling the scores.

Two consecutive tries from WA, including a very sloppy play for Michael Turukawa, gave WA a comfortable two try buffer with around 10 minutes to go.

Nixon-Croaker made up for his sin-bin by scoring a try and putting the Indigenous side back in contention before Kusu struck in the shadows of full time.

U16 Girls Third-Place Playoff: Victoria v NSWCIS

NSWCIS have claimed third place in the inaugural under 16 girls ASSRL national championship after downing Victoria 26-4.

It took no time at all for CIS to gain the advantage with Mia Vaotu’ua scoring a try on the team’s first possession.

Replay: Victoria v NSWCIS (16 years third-place)

Victoria were looking hesitant with the ball but gained more confidence through the half.

Both teams struggled to make any real impact for the rest of the opening half, though Victoria was gifted some chances that they couldn’t capitalise on.

CIS once again opened the scoring in the second half courtesy of Talea Tonga, but Victoria were quick to strike back.

Eboni Heurea sparked a comeback midway through the second half with a solid try right under the posts.

It was short lived, with CIS another three more tries before the buzzer to take the win 26-4.

Grand Finals Preview

NSW Combined Independent Schools’ star dummy-half Ashton Large has sent an ominous warning to ASSRL Nationals grand finals rival Queensland Maroon on the eve of the decider.

“We are keen for it, we will be ready and we’re coming for Queensland,” Large said after toppling NSWCHS in the semifinal.

The Scots College star, who is part of the Wests Tigers pathways, will be chasing his second-straight ASSRL Under-15 boys title after being part of the winning NSWCIS squad last year in Queensland.

He is not alone in that quest with Keone Anitelea-Tsioussis and Talen Risati also backing up from last year’s national title-winning squad in the big game against Queensland Maroon.

The Under-15 Boys Championship decider will headline a huge final day at the ASSRL Nationals in Port Macquarie, which kicks off with an Under-16 girls third-place playoff at 9am.

All of the action will be exclusively live streamed on KommunityTV in the video player above from 9am. Check out the draw below.

Friday, September 29
9am: Victoria v NSWCIS (Under-16 Girls 3rd Place)
10am: First Nations Goannas v Western Australia (U15 Boys Pool B Grand Final)
11.25am: NSWCHS v Queensland (U16 Girls Grand Final)
12.40pm: Queensland Maroon v NSWCIS (U15 Boys Pool A Grand Final)
2.05pm: Closing Ceremony

Queensland will also feature in the inaugural Under-16 Girls grand final when they clash with fellow undefeated rivals, NSW Combined High Schools, while the First Nations Goannas will put their undefeated streak on the line against Western Australia in the Boys Plate Final.

Large has been one of the players of the tournament, and said he was proud of the way his side had bounced back after an early round loss to Queensland Maroon on Monday.

“I thought we started rusty in the first two games, but (in the semi-final) we completed our sets and stuck to our structure and we played a lot better,” Large said.

“The boys put in a big effort. We just stick to our structure, kept doing what we did. I am so proud.”

The Queensland Maroon side, which has combined an impressive engine room up front with skilled playmakers out the back, has been the team to beat all tournament and will likely enter the grand final favourites.

The inaugural girls decider could come down to a coin flip – with both Queensland and NSWCHS topping their respective groups with undefeated runs through the tournament.

The girls from the Sunshine State were dominant knocking off NSWCIS 30-0 in the semi-final, while their NSW counterparts had little trouble getting past Victoria.

Queensland lock forward and tournament highlight reel, Shalom Sauaso, said she knew her side had to find another gear in the grand final.

“I think I am feeling nervous now we are going onto the big game,” she said.

“I think we need to work a bit better at getting depth in our play. We know NSW is such a talented team, they know how to shift the ball side to side and they are really good in their communication. We know we need to go up a little bit with our work.”

NSW CHS dummy-half Koffi Brookfield said her side were excited to play in the momentous game after coming together well over the past week.

“It feels awesome to be in a grand final, especially at a tournament like this. It is our first one so it is pretty exciting,” she said.

“I knew our team could do it and we have definitely gelled. It was definitely a good experience and we knew we could get here with our teamwork.”

While a defensive master class ensured NSW CHS picked up good reward for their week’s work, Victoria arguably came up with the best result.

NSWCHS have claimed third in the U15 boys tournament after an entertaining grudge match against Queensland White on Thursday.

It was a tough battle, with CHS making the most of the chances they created to win 10-0.

Callum Elsley was the only try scorer, producing two stunners while his team kept Queensland scoreless.

It was the only match where Queensland White failed to score a point and was a frustrating end to their championship.

BOYS – ACT 52 d NT 10

The ACT left their best performance for last as they demolished Northern Territory in their final ASSRL U15 boys national championships match.

The massive 52-10 scoreline was highlighted by a hat-trick for winger Uhila Tai.

The NT mounted a small comeback midway through the second half when they scored two tries, but it was shortlived.

The win is the only one for the ACT this week, while NT head home without a victory.

BOYS: Victoria 24 d NSWCCC 22

Victoria and NSWCCC have put on a classic for their final U15 boys match in Port Macquarie.

Victoria’s narrow 12-10 halftime lead was quickly hunted down by CCC, who jumped out to a 22-12 lead midway through the second half.

But the Vics refused to give up, snatching back the lead 24-22 with a try in the last minute off a grubber kick.

They then had to agonisingly watch a NSWCCC penalty shot at goal in the dying seconds drift wide before securing the win.

Coach Hamish Pearce said it was a fantastic showing from his side.

“Being a traditional pool B team, it was really good to come up against a side like that and see where we’re at,” Pearce said.

“I think the effort they put in today was the best game of the week.”

GIRLS: NSWCCC 46 d NT 0

They may have been a disappointing championship, but NSWCCC have ended their girls U16 ASSRL national campaign on a massive high.

Their 46-0 demolition of Northern Territory featured eight tries from seven different players. Summer Dowell contributed a double.

Emily Dietrich was in great form with the boot, kicking seven goals and earning her team’s player of the match award.

It was a brutal ending to the tournament for Northern Territory, who head home without a win.

GIRLS – WA 14 d ACT 12

Western Australia have produced a stunning second half comeback to claim an impressive two-point victory over the ACT in a tense U16 girls encounter on Thursday.

The ACT had the upper hand in the first half following two tries to Ella van dam Heuval and Reese Paunovic.

However, the second half was all Western Australia, but a missed conversion on the second try of the half seemed to seal the win for ACT.

But the WA side we’re not done, and a final minute try to Kylah-Rey Tuheke Kupa stole them the win 14-12.

Queensland White will be confident they can roll with a bit of momentum after mounting a late fightback in their semi-final loss and showing they have the talent to threaten the top teams.

The two sides have met once before during the tournament, when a Tristan Ross double helped NSWCHS to a thrilling six-point win.

ASSRL Boys U15, Girls U16 National Championships

Struddys – Your Custom Apparel Specialists

Live stream: Watch seven days from the ASSRL Boys U15, Girls U16 National Championships

It’s one of rugby league’s showcase junior tournaments – and it kicks off with a bang from Port Macquarie on Saturday. Catch 13 games LIVE.

Watch live: ASSRL Nationals Day 1…

The action kicks off with two matches from the U15 boys tournament before the girls round robins.

Queensland Maroons have made a massive statement of intent, thrashing ACT 38-4 to open their ASSRL U15 boys national championship campaign in some style.

Three Maroons players scored doubles, including skipper Lincoln Dalton, while the ACT could only secure the one try.

Queensland came out all guns blazing, scoring three tries in the opening 10 minutes through Majah-Jose Peachy, Kingson Seve and Dalton.

ACT worked into the game towards halftime, maintaining more possession until it finally paid off.

A strong set down the width of the field found Tyler Stonham, who offloaded to Uhlia Tai for the try.

The Queenslanders hit back straight away courtesy of Ethan Grimshaw, who had just been brought into the match.

It took the Maroons 11 minutes to score their first try after the break when a brilliant play by captain Dalton put the game away.

Peachy added a second try, running the full length of the field following an intercept right on his own try line, while Grimshaw planted his own not long after.

A penalty goal for the Maroons to end the match sealed the victory.

PREVIEW

NSW Combined Catholic Colleges (CCC) coach Brad Melville believes the depth in his squad will be key as they prepare to open the inaugural ASSRL U16 Girls Nationals on Saturday.

The NSWCCC side will kick off the girls tournament against rivals NSW Combined High Schools, before also clashing with Western Australia and NSW Combined Independent Schools on a frantic opening day.

Every match of the ASSRL Nationals will be exclusively LIVE STREAMED on KommunityTV, with Saturday’s action kicking off with two matches from the U15 boys tournament before the girls round robins.

With the girls tournament played in a shortened 20-minute game format for the round games, it means sides will play three games a day, with a rest day in between matches, before finals kick off on Wednesday.

The finals will be played in a longer 50-minute format.

Melville said the increased number of games, and short turnaround between matches, would mean every player in the 20-women squad will be called upon.

“I think that’s been the most difficult part of the preparation,” coach Melville said.

“Making sure we’ve got the depth in our squad to do both formats.

“We’ve had to obviously prepare for short games, where you’ve got to just be ready to go. Then once you hit the finals they’re full games, so we’ve had to pick a squad that can do both.”

Melville said a key focus for him was to build a team that can deliver no matter who is on the field.

Sienna Thomas will have a big role to play for NSWCCC.

Halves Sienna Thomas (St Brigid’s Catholic College) and Macey Cox (St Joseph’s, Aberdeen) will steer the side around the park, while Melville has backed his engine room to match it with most sides in the competition.

“We’ve got some really quality halves that can guide the team around, our front row and lock can just really get our team forward,” he said.

“We’ve also got some really powerful girls coming off the bench, so I think we’ve got all our bases covered.”

Melville said the competition will be a bit of an unknown for the girls and they have tried to select a team that can play to all strengths.

The NSWCCC selectors have picked three girls for the side’s leadership team, who were all named as standouts from the trials in August.

“We’ve got three players that will lead the side as captains in Macey Cox, Sienna Thomas and Lily Ryan,” he said.

“They just have this ability to bring all the girls together, we saw that at the trials and we’ve seen it at training since.”

Patties run riot on Shark Park

It was the confidence boost they need ahead of the quarters and a trio of multiple try scorers played a big role in Patrician Brothers taking down Endeavour in the Peter Mulholland Cup.

Patrician Brothers Blacktown head into the Peter Mulholland Cup quarter-finals on a high after a 44-6 domination of Endeavour Sports High School on Wednesday in Sydney but it could be a very different story for their opponents.

Marcellus Iakopo, Jared Haywood and Wilson Decourcey all planted two tries each in a standout performance for Patties while Endeavour left the field with a loss and injury concerns.

“We’ve been trying to bring the spirit back that Patties is known for,” said Decourcey.

“These past few weeks we’ve had off for holidays and stuff has really helped us as a team.”

Patties dominated from the first whistle with Iakopo planted the first try 12 minutes in.

Tries from Aidan Kebourian and Haywood soon followed with a single conversion from Jhett Sydir delivering Patties a 14-0 halftime lead.

A parochial Endeavour crowd made themseleves heard and it didn’t take long for Brady Lauretti to given them something to cheer as he pulling off a full field run just two minutes into the second half.

Endeavour looked stronger straight after the break but Patties quickly responded with a try four minutes later courtesy of Australian Schoolboy Decourcey.

Jack Nicholas added to Patties’s advantage not long after, while Haywood, Iakopo and Decourcey all picked up their second tries.

An apparent knee injury to Endeavour’s Bronson Harden-Emery picked up midway through the second half could be a major issue for the side as they head into the elimination stages.

MATCH PREVIEW

While both schools are guaranteed quarterfinal spots, a win surely wouldn’t go astray on Wednesday.

Endeavour Sports and Patrician Brothers Blacktown bring the curtain down on the Peter Mulholland Cup seeded pool and while the result won’t affect their progress to the final eight, taking some winning momentum to the next stage must be the goal.

They haven’t been far off the pace.

Endeavour followed a 36-16 loss to Hills with a 32-18 loss to Westfields, but there were ‘patches in each game’ where they were more than competitive.

Patties, on the other hand, had chances to win both their games and will especially be regretting their 16-12 loss to Hills.

You can catch all of the action LIVE and exclusive on KommunityTV from 2pm at PointsBet Stadium. Check out the full draw for this week.

Endeavour coach Brad Kelly isn’t too concerned about the early defeats and is confident his team is peaking at the right time.

“We use the pool games as a learning experience for us,” he said.

“This time of the year is like the business end of the competition.

“It’s sort of a balancing act at the moment, getting the team ready and keeping them as fresh as we can.”

Kelly said the team had been working through the errors they’ve identified from the first two games so they can attempt to eliminate them against Patties.

Patrician Brothers Blacktown have been in good form despite the results.

“We realised there were patches of the game we were playing really well against both Hills and Westfields, but there were times where we didn’t give ourselves the chance,” he said.

“There were errors that were relatively unforced and that impacted the scoreboard.

“We know the big ones for us in the quarterfinal games coming up.”

Patrician Brothers, Blacktown, one of the early tournament favourites, haven’t played since the June 14 defeat to Hills.

Patties led 12-0 at halftime in that match but were guilty of some late indiscretions that contributed to their defeat.
