After three days of trials the best young footy players in the NSW CHS system have been identified ahead of the Australian secondary schools rugby league championship and the coaches are impressed with the “incredible’’ standard of the teenagers.

Boys coach Adam Blake said he has ended up with a strong mix of speed, athleticism and skill in his squad named for the September championships.

“It’s a good mix,’’Blake said of his squad.

“We have a bit of size, speed and some kids who play in multiple positions which is what we wanted.

“There is also probably the largest contingent from western which is great as well.’’

Blake said Westfield Sports young gun Siotame Havea was one of the standouts of the trials.

“He was the player of the series,’’ Bake said.

“He was really strong across the three games, very hard to tackle, good with the offload and a lock. Lock is a position we had quite a bit of strength in this year.’’

Blake said other players who stood out at the championship included Lachlan Metcalfe and CJ Udeh.

“Lachlan is from Hills Sports and just calm, a good organiser and has a good kicking game,’’ he said.

“CJ is from Westfields and good on his feet and quick and hard to tackle. He’s a bit electric.

“And I though the guy from Western Ravai Tuleva, a backrower from Orange High, was great. He ran a good line and had a good offload.’’

Bass Hill High’s Jon Wilson said he is delighted his charges will be part of history as the 16s girls prepare to make their debut at the famous rugby league event at Port Macquarie in September and with the talent named on Wednesday in his squad.

“To be honest there’s not that much difference between them and the boys. The boys are faster but some of their hits are bigger than the boys,’’ Wilson said.

Wilson said standouts at the trials who have made the squad for the upcoming Australian titles include players from across multiple schools and regions with Ellie Brander named player of the championship.

“She’s from Hunter Sports High and is just so tough. She ran good lines and consistently tackled,’’ Wilson said.

“Tia Matthews from The Hills Sports High is a lock and very energetic and runs the ball everywhere and Trinity Tauaneai from Bass Hill High, her sister (Alexis Tauaneai) plays NRLW with St George, is outstanding. She is just tough, skilful and takes it forward and dominates the middle.

“There were a few girls from last year who stood out like Olivia Vaalele from Hills Sports, Tahlia O’Brien from Fig Tree High and Koffi (Brookfield), the No. 9 from Kiama High.

“Anastasia Leutupue from Hills Sports is just 14 and outstanding. She just bought the ball back quick and plays on wings and in the centres.

“Waiaria Ellis is from Castle Hill High and her passing game is unbelievable. She’s also got good footwork and reads the game well.

“And Ava Jones from Castle Hill High is also good.’’

The Australian secondary schools rugby league championships for 15 year boys and 16 year girls will be played at Port Macquarie from September 23-29.

“It’s the first time the girls are playing and it’s very exciting. It’s about time,’’ Wilson said.

The NSW CHS 16s girls will play against NSW CCC, NSW Independents and WA in their pool at the championships.

The other pool contains Queensland, Victoria, the ACT and Northern Territory.

EARLIER: Coach Adam Blake is looking for players with a particular skills set at selection trials this week for the NSW CHS 15s team he will take to the Australian secondary schools championships in September.

Blake, in his third year of coaching the 15s, said he is working to build a squad of players with a particular strength ahead of the national championships to be played at Port Macquarie.

YOUTH GAMES: Stars, medallists, results

“The kind of team I’m aiming for is one that is versatile,” said Blake, from Albion Park High School.

“It’s the third year I’ve done this and I know you go away and loose a few players to injury and it makes it hard.

“I’m looking for people who can play multiple positions but are also tough and resilient.

“If you make the final it’s four games in a week so by the time they get to the final, if they don’t have the ability to bounce back, they struggle.”

Blake said CHS’s loss to NSW CIS in the 15s age division a year ago still stings.

“Last years we made the final and were beaten by NSW CIS,” he said.

“We were up and they scored in the last minute and a half, kicking a goal to win it. It was tough to take.”

A year earlier a mini tournament was played by NSW teams in the wake of Covid.

“We had a tri series with NSW CIS, CHS and CCC and we beat CIS but lost to CCC,” he said.

Blake said playing at the selection trials and the Australian championships is a massive opportunity for the rising stars of rugby league.

“People watch these kids,” he said.

“There’s someone from every club here at the trials.”

The likes of Junior Paulo, Jake Trbojevic, Reuben Garrick, Zac Lomax, and David Klemmer came through the NSW CHS system.

The Australian secondary schools rugby league championships for 15 year boys and 16 year girls will be played at Port Macquarie from September 23-29.

The girls competition is being played for the first time with the under 18 girls competing at the Australian secondary schools championship in Queensland for the first time in July.

Galvin shines for NSWCHS

NSWCHS five-eighth Lachlan Galvin is the good news Tigers fans need

It has been a dark week for all Wests Tigers fans, but there is one schoolboy giving them reason to hope at the ASSRL Nationals.

Struddys apparel

It has been a dark week for Wests Tigers fans, but there is one schoolboy giving them reason to hope.

In the space of a week Tigers fans have had to deal with the fact Luke Brooks is leaving for the Northern Beaches, they are lacking a recognised half for next season and they were pasted 74-0 in a historic thumping at the hands of the Cowboys.

It’s been tough.

But there is one shining light in the form of NSW CHS halfback Lachlan Galvin.

In the space of 60 minutes, the Westfields Sports High talent made it clear the future isn’t all doom at Concord, after masterfully steering NSWCHS to a dominant win over NSWCIS on Saturday.

The 17-year-old Campbelltown product, who was previously part of the Eels junior system, will join the Tigers top 30 squad next season.

I am loving it

“I am loving it (at the Tigers),” Galvin said. “I got there last year and I am loving it.

“I just want to focus on my footy, train hard. I go into the Top 30 next year.

“When I got there I looked up to the NRL boys. Wayne Lambkin was the coach at Westfield and he’s the reserve grade coach there now and he’s really helped me and my footy.”

Galvin wasn’t the only future Tiger to impress for the NSWCHS side, with winger Luke Laulilii scoring an impressive double.

The duo have played together at Westfields Sports High for a number of years, and the playmaker said their combination was sound.

“In the Harold Mathews Cup, he (Laulilii) was fullback and we worked really well together,” Galvin said.

“It’s good to play with him he’s very fast. I just have to find him, he gives me a lot of room and he follows me.”

When asked who Galvin models his game off he said it was Queensland five-eighth Cameron Munster.

The NSW Combined High Schools lethal wing combination of Nikora Williams and Laulilii, with Galvin at the trigger, blew away their NSW Combined Independent Schools rivals in a 24-6.

NSWCIS, who also feature a Tigers-bound playmaker in Alex Conti, will have little time to lick their wounds as they return to action at the ASSRL Nationals on Monday.

After a day off the field, the competition returns in a massive way with the first games for the Combined Affiliated States and ACT boys sides.

NSWCIS will cap off a massive day of action against the ACT, while the CAS side will meet a NSW Combined Catholic Colleges side flying off the back of a big win against Queensland on Saturday.

Monday’s action kicks off at Kayo Stadium in Redcliffe with another three rounds of the fast and flashy Schoolgirls Nationals tournament.

Schoolgirls Championships

Struddys apparel

Queensland v NSW CIS

Queensland five-eight Esther Pedro put on a mini masterclass as the Maroons schoolgirls powered to victory 21-0 over NSW CIS.

Queensland drew first blood courtesy of smart Ipswich SHS Year 11 student Pedro who scrambled right after a wide spread threatened to break down.

NSWCIS v QRSS (girls)

Esther’s passing game then came to the fore, with a bullet pass hitting her winger Relna Wuruki-Hosea on the chest. Hosea finished expertly and it was 9-nil.

And soon after Pedro lobbed a nice ball into space, with edge forward Lennice Wright running a gorgeous line to score.

Marsden SHS winger Mercedez Taulelei-Siala then scorched 60m to score and at 17-nil after 10 minutes, the result was decided.

While Pedro and her backs feasted, they have the Queensland forwards to thank for the foundation.

Queensland had started strongly, attacking with their defence and blockading the middle where Armani-Lea Auvae and Reegan Hicks stood like loyal soldiers.

Hooker Nadia Windleborn (Merrimac SHS) was also tenacious.

NSWCHS v NSWCCC

NSWCCC claimed a last second derby win over NSWCHS in a ripping last match of the day from Redcliffe.

There was not a struck match between the teams, with NSWCCC winning 8-5 in a gritty victory after Evie Jones (St Joseph’s) crossed.

Watch a full replay of NSWCHS v NSWCCC (Girls).

It came down to the last play of the game, with fullback Elizabeth McGregory (Red Bend Catholic College) sending a pass to centre Jones.

NSWCCC drew battlelines early with stoic defence from fullback McGRegor and five-eight McGrath (St Mary Star of the Sea) who was also a constant threat with the ball.

Twice NSWCCC also held NSWCHS up over the line, but there was no stopping NSW CHS dummy half Mere Rasaku (Bass High School) who capitalised on a bulldozing ruck run by Monica Fasavala-Faamausili.

It was 5-nil, eight minutes into the clash.

NSWCCC were down, but not out, and a surging edge effort from No.13 Paige Bohringer (James Sheahan Catholic High) cut CHS’s advantage to one point – 5-4.

Then late, very late, came Jones’ try for CCC.

Western Australia v Northern Territory

Western Australian centre Phoenix Mahaki scored two tries as WA rose marginally above their rivals to win 13-nil.

Mahaki, from Seda College, shone through the gloom – and WA needed her to in what was a challenging cross border stoush with brave Northern Territory.

Watch the replay of the ASSRL Nationals Day 1 – NT v WA (Girls)

Despite the scoreline, there was little in the game and WA needed every point they could muster.

The spirit of NT was emphasised by two magnificent try saving tackles from NT winger Honey Chastain.

NT’s effort was spearheaded by prop Keiko Fordimail.

WA’s third try was scored by Byford Secondary College student Taliana Mika.

ACT v Victoria

Under lights at Kayo Stadium the second last game of day one was here and it was the Australian Capital Territory Secondary Schools girls who dug their heels in and shot out to an early lead – before pinching a 13-12 win in the final stages.

Watch a full replay of ACT v VIC (Girls).

Victoria looked to have secured the result when up 12-9 with two minutes to play but ACT hooker Indi Dyball had different ideas when ducking under the defence with a try close to the line, breaking her opponent’s hearts with a telling blow.

Second rower Layla Irving and speedy centre Samantha Nealon dazzled for points.

The Victorian Secondary Schools girls took a bit longer to click into gear but when they did it was a scary sight.

First to strike was lock powerhouse Faith Vili of St Albans Secondary College and not long after her it was one of the discovery players of the day in Koreti Leilua.

She was seriously good in all three matches she played on the day.

Victoria took the lead quickly through two try hero Vili to inch ahead 12-9 but Dyball threw her cape on and saved the game with a dummy half scoot.

Queensland v Northern Territory

Queensland prop Alice Shannon was unstoppable while newcomers Lila Parr and Esther Pedro set Kayo Stadium alight as the Maroons powered to a 25-0 win, their second win of the day.

Shannon was a force to be reckoned with, rucking the ball relentlessly into the teeth of the NT pack.

Behind Shannon and her fellow forwards, halves Parr and Pedro were terrific.

Watch the replay of the ASSRL Nationals Day 1 – NT v QRSS (Girls)

NSW Combined Independent Schools v Western Australia

NSW CIS fullback Juanita Jang (SEDA College) saved the day with the tackle of the championships so far as NSW CIS got out of jail to beat Western Australia 5-0.

With the game scoreless wwell into the second half, fullback Jang felled a runaway WA No.13 Topaz Porter who looked try bound.

Minutes later NSW CIS crossed for the only try of the match.

Watch the replay of the ASSRL Nationals Day 1 – ASSRL Nationals – NSWCIS v WA (Girls)

NSW CCC v ACT

Flashes of enterprise from NSW CCC No.13 Paige Boringer and five-eight Evie McGrath drove their side beyond the clutches of an heroic ACT.

NSW CCC won 17-4, but the scoreline did not reflect the close nature of the schoolgirls match.

NSW CCC scored three late tries, with two of them scored by Boringer (James Sheahan Catholic School) and McGrath (St Mary Star of the Sea).

Watch the replay of the ASSRL Nationals Day 1 – ASSRL Nationals – ACT v NSWCCC (Girls)

NSW Combined HIgh Schools v Victoria

Indie Bostock scored the individual try of day one as NSW CHS prevented a boilover to beat Victoria 16-5.

Bostock, from Warilla High School , halfback Kasey Reh (Figtree High School) and winger Mia Walsh (Illawarra Sports High) were the try scoring heroes, with the trio putting on brilliant exhibitions to score.

Watch the replay of the ASSRL Nationals Day 1 – NSWCHS v VIC (Girls)

Queensland v Western Australia

Long-striding Tavarna Papalii finished a sensational team try as Queensland schoolgirls made an impressive debut at the ASSRL Nationals on Saturday.

Papalii, from the Keebra Park SHS catchment but with signed with the Sydney Roosters, scored next to the posts after Queensland had swept play right and then back to the left.

Papalii had a big match, including holding up a rival up over the tryline as Queensland posted a 25-0 victory over Western Australia.

Watch the replay of the ASSRL Nationals Day 1 – QRSS v WA (Girls)

Papalii said she was approached last year to trial for the Roosters and this year hit the Sydney junior girls competition with gusto.

“It (signing with the Roosters) was not something I planned to do,’’ she said.

“Blake Cavallaro (head of pathways, Roosters) approached me and they offered me to play Tarsha Gale.

“It was something out of my comfort zone but I thought it would be good exposure playing Tarsha Gale in Sydney.’’

The Roosters even had plans to blood Papalii in their Harvey Norman women’s squad, but she was too young.

“So I finished off a season with Tarsha Gale (under 19s) and I was offered a contract.’’

She now lives in Sydney but does online learning with Keebra Park SHS on the Gold Coast.

Watch the replay of the ASSRL Nationals Day 1 – NT v NSWCIS (Girls)

NSW CIS v Northern Territory

NSW CIS surged late to dismantle a willing Northern Territory 17-4.

Second half tries from wingers Charlotte Byrne and Shanelle Lyons and impressive left edge forward Bronte Ryan raised their side to safety after a rousing effort by the Territory girls.

Watch the replay of the ASSRL Nationals Day 1 – ACT v NSWCHS (Girls)

ACT v NSW Combined High Schools

NSW Combined High Schools five-eighth Lilly-Ann White engineered a convincing 17-0 win.

White was tremendous, putting teammates into space, turning defenders inside out and organising the line.

NSWCHS had plenty of pace about them and from first glance they loomed as the main challengers to Queensland.

NSWCC v VIC (Girls)

Watch the replay of the ASSRL Nationals Day 1 – NSWCC v VIC (Girls)

VIC v NSWCCC

NSW Combined Catholic Colleges pulled off a thrilling 9-8 win over Victoria.

With ball in hand, NSWCCC were threatening, but it was an eight-minute period of incredible goal line defence which proved the difference.

Tigers-bound half shows his prowess as CHS score big win

The NSW Combined High Schools lethal wing combination of Nikora Williams and Luke Laulilii, with Tigers signed five-eighth Lachlan Galvin at the trigger, blew away their NSW Combined Independent Schools rivals 24-6.

In a masterful game, Westfield Sports High School schoolboy Galvin threw his hand up to fill the problematic halves role at the Tigers in the future.

It was a game filled with flair, anticipation, strong running and silky smooth ball playing from the No.6. Ironically, Galvin’s schoolmate Laulillii, who is also signed to the Tigers, had a strong game on the wing as well.

REPLAYS: ASSRL Nationals Day 1 – NSW CHS v NSWCIS (Boys)

Sharks-signed Williams, an Endeavour Sports High School product, also shone brightly, doing a bit of everything off his right wing.

NSWCHS took no time to score their first and it was a brilliant cut-out pass from second rower Logan Spinks who found winger Williams on the right edge.

NSWCHS have started with a win.

NSWCHS have set a high early bar

For their second try, Williams produced a great catch and offload from a Kade Reed crossfield kick and Spinks was in.

From the kick off, Galvin broke the line and ran 70 metres down field to extend his team’s lead at 14-0.

On the stroke of halftime, Laulili got himself on the scoresheet after a quick one-two with Galvin, again.

NSWCIS fought long into the second half and were finally rewarded when yellow-booted middle Patrick Young muscled his way over with eight minutes left.

Forwards strength powers NSW CCC past champions

The NSW Combined Catholic College forwards hit the Queensland schoolboys with a sledge hammer to batter their side to victory 30-6 in game one of the ASSRL under 18 championships at Kayo Stadium.

With a ferocious salvo in both halves, the power game of NSW CCC sent a message to the competition that the side was here to play.

NSW CCC led 18-6 at halftime and then 24-6 just after the break when impressive Parramatta-signed back rower Jacob Halangahu stepped once, then twice and then a third time to cut back and score next to the posts.

With a weight of possession behind them during the opening half, the NSWCCC forwards blasted forward continuously.

Middle men De La Salle Va’a and Finau Latu were enormous, with Latu scoring a pile-driving try following a close to the line charge.

Halves Riley Pollard and Heath Mason were also nifty with inside and outside passes, and it added up to a potent cocktail which saw NSWCCC lead 12-0 and then 18-6 headed into halftime.

NSW CCC fullback Jaxen Edgar also threatened down the middle while hooker Zaidas Muagututi’a was as sharp as a tack.

While NSW CCC also defended strongly, Queensland did bomb two certain tries in either half which would have dragged them back into the match, and had a third disallowed late.

Jaxen Edgar gets the NSW side moving forward.

Queensland were handicapped for a period after edge forward Jett Bryce was sin-binned, and it was a real man the pumps effort to try and withstand NSWCCC’s power game.

And they were also disadvantaged when ball playing, sharp on his feet No.13 John Fineanganofo had an early break with a shoulder injury.

While Queensland never turned their toes up, this NSW CCC was relentless as the Sydney-siders staked an early claim for the title.
