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].”

Last Wednesday marked a special day in the calendar for rugby league at Cronulla High School.

We were able to run out in our new opens jersey for the first time, which is hopefully the start of a new tradition at Cronulla High School.

We welcomed many of our Rugby League Excellence Program sponsors in to present the jerseys for the first time which was a nice touch. A big thank you to all the sponsors that were able to make it on such late notice. We hope to build on such events in the future.

We were also able to have many former students in attendance, including current NRLW and representative player Quincy Dodd.

This a was a special touch, not only to have them present jerseys but the fact they want to remain involved in our school community says a lot about what we have to offer at Cronulla High School.

As for the game, the boys played very disciplined footy throughout the game.

Completing the vast majority of sets and spreading the ball around with freedom.

The boys scored some outstanding tries and it was great to see some of the younger boys in their opens debuts put their best foot forward for future selection.

Looking forward to the next round this coming Thursday.

Players of the match:

Will Gray and Luca Pirrello. Keep an eye out for another post on this.

Also a big thanks to our team photographer Zoey for giving up her time. More photos to come.

Rising Shark Williams crowned top NSW schoolboy athlete

In the midst of his first NRL pre-season, promising young Shark Nikora Williams has received one of the most prestigious awards for schoolboy athletes in NSW.

The Endeavour Sports High School graduate was presented with the Val Lembit Memorial Trophy for the Most Outstanding Male Representative at the NSW Combined High School Sports Awards at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Monday.

He joins a storied list of sporting champions like swimmer Ian Thorpe, cricketer Steve Waugh, golfer Nick Flanagan and NRL players such as Blake Green, Cameron King and current Kangaroos star Zac Lomax to have earned the accolade.

Williams also received a NSW CHS Blue, a time-honoured award recognising those who have represented their state with distinction in their chosen sport.

Congratulations to Elektra Arseniou (Tennis), Lucia Martin (Cricket) and Nikora Williams (Rugby League) who were awarded a prestigious NSW CHS Blue at the SCG yesterday

“It’s an honour to get it. I’m very grateful because there a lot of names there like Ian Thorpe and Zac Lomax who have won that award,” Williams said of receiving the Val Lembit Memorial Trophy.

“Hearing my name get called out was a very pleasant surprise.”

A goal-kicking outside back, Williams represented the Sharks in the SG Ball Cup (under 19s) this year before a handful of appearances in the Jersey Flegg Cup (under 21s).

Such is his talent, the teenager is training with the NRL squad over summer.

“It’s a dream come true, definitely, but it’s very hard,” he said.

“All the coaching staff set a standard and you’ve got to live up to that standard every day when you’re coming to training.

“It’s nerve-wracking at times, but I’m grateful I’ve been given the opportunity by the Cronulla Sharks and the coaching staff to be able to train with the big boys for the first time.”

Williams paid tribute to experienced Sharks junior rep coach Dave Howlett, who convinced him to abandon plans to drop out of Shire Christian School in Year 10 to start a trade apprenticeship and instead move to Endeavour Sports High under his tutelage.

Howlett was also Williams’ SG Ball coach this year.

“I was grateful to learn off Dave,” Williams, an Aquinas Colts junior, said.

“He knows a lot about footy and I take in whatever he talks about. I use it whether it’s on the field or off the field. I just take all the lessons he’s told me and I apply it to my everyday life.”

Howlett described Williams as “one of the most passionate students I’ve had anything to do with”.

“He absolutely loved the team, the Endeavour Rugby League Program and the school. He’s left a mark that will last well after he leaves,” he added.

“The thing that sets him apart from other boys is his will to win and the fact he’ll do whatever it takes on the field to help his team achieve.

“He’s tenacious and competitive.

I coached him at school and the Sharks, and he had exactly the same passion for both teams. He just loves being part of a team environment and trying to inspire other people.

“I’m really hopeful he’ll blossom into an NRL player and a great team member at that level too.

“We’re proud as a program and a school that we’ve played a role in his development as a person and player and we look forward to following his journey.”

Had he committed to the decision to leave school and become a tradie, Williams would’ve missed out on a raft of rugby league achievements. He represented the Australian Schoolboys in 2023 and made his mark at that level again this season.

“I was part of the NSW CHS team as captain (reaching the ASSRL National Championships final)

Then got selected for the Aussie Schoolboys where we went to the Gold Coast to play France and played against Papua New Guinea over in Papua New Guinea,” he said.

The skilful outside back scored the match-tying try in a 22-all draw with PNG in October.

With hard work his focus, Williams will look to take the next step in 2025. Howlett believes the rigours of an NRL pre-season will prepare him perfectly for higher grades.

“Hopefully next year I can play more consistent Flegg and, if I’m able to, have a crack at (NSW) Cup,” Williams said.

Meanwhile, Engadine High School student Blake Wardrobe also earned a coveted NSW CHS Blue award for his touch football achievements.

Wardrobe, who has played junior reps for the Sharks alongside Williams, captained the 2024 NSWCHSSA open touch football team.

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.

The Australian Secondary Schools Rugby League National Championships kicked off at Bellingen Park on Sunday with rugby league’s generation next taking centre stage on the NSW mid-north coast.

The carnival has hosted some of the game’s biggest names over the years – Dolphins gun Isaiya Katoa and Wests Tigers Lachlan Galvin have dominated the past two carnivals on their way to becoming NRL mainstays.

Day one of this year’s tournament showcased another batch of teenagers who are about to become household names. Here are the players and moments that stood out on the opening day.

THE BIG FIVE TALKING POINTS

HEINZ CUTS LOOSE

Penrith have opened talks with Heinz Lemoto over a contract extension and you can understand why after watching the big back rower run rampant against NSW Combined High Schools on Sunday afternoon.

Lemoto proved too big and powerful for the opposition, finishing with a hat-trick of tries running off the smart ball play of Sydney Roosters youngster Toby Rodwell.

Lemoto has one year remaining on his deal with Penrith but an extension is in the wind.

BATTLE OF THE BIG GUNS

In a beaten side, there were few better than Nikora Williams.

The Cronulla centre conceded a try early to much-hyped NSW CIS giant Heamasi Makasini but then led the fightback for NSW CHS as he showed his class.

He almost got his side over the line in the end, using his quality and guile to score one try and create plenty of chances for his winger Zailen Campbell-Cook.

Williams made the Australian Schoolboys team last year and this was a good start as he looks to retain his jersey.

DOLPHINS YOUNG GUN STARS FOR MAROONS

Zac Garton is on a long-term deal at the Dolphins and it looks like a smart piece of business after he starred for the Maroons as they lost a cliffhanger in the last few minutes on the opening day of the schoolboys.

Garton scored two tries in a dominant display as the Queensland side got off to a flyer but they were run down at the back end of the game.

ROOSTERS HAVE A READY-MADE HALF?

While Sam Walker was carving up St George Illawarra at Allianz Stadium on Sunday afternoon, Roosters young gun Toby Rodwell was going about his business at Bellingen Park.

Five-eighth Mitchell Woods got plenty of attention leading into the national schoolboy championships but Rodwell arguably had more sway as NSW CIS got their tournament off to a solid start.

He wasn’t the only half to shine – NSW CHS half Kade Reed almost masterminded a comeback for the ages as he threatened to steal the win. Reed, who is on the books at St George Illawarra, lost nothing in comparison to his highly-touted halves opponents.

ANOTHER HOPOATE STARS

There may be no more prolific name in rugby league than Hopoate. Leila Hopoate, the niece of John Hopoate, is the latest from the famous rugby league family to make her mark, starring on the opening day of the national titles for the NSW CCC.

Indie Bostock, the younger sister of Dolphins star Jack Bostock, also backed up her starring role for the NSW under-19 side recently with a big performance on day one of the championships.

TRY OF THE DAY

Kahu Capper, another Roosters youngster, came up with an early contender for try of the tournament when he flew high like his famous AFL namesake Warwick Capper to score a try for NSWCIS.

However, that effort was eclipsed soon after when Bulldogs star-in-waiting Mitchell Woods went to work.

After Toby Rodwell’s kick was charged down, Woods was the first to react as he swooped on the ball, stepped around Michael Nasser and floated a pass for Rex Bassingthwaighte to score.

It was brilliant stuff from Woods.

NSWCHS greater Sydney trails huge success

The NSWCHS held the 2024 NSWCHS Great Sydney rugby league trials last Wednesday & Thursday.

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.

5pm: ACT 17 – 0 NT (U16 Girls)

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.”

The ASSRL Nationals will be played at Port Macquarie Regional Stadium from Saturday, September 23 to Friday, September 29.

The tournament features representative sides from across the nation in both boys and girls divisions.

The inaugural 16-Years Girls tournament will be played in a lightning carnival style over the opening rounds, with games lasting 20 minutes and teams playing three times over the day.

The girls playoff matches including crossover games and finals will be played over two 20-minute halves.

The boys tournament will be divided into two pools, with Pool A featuring NSWCHS, NSWCCC, NSWCIS, Queensland Maroon, Queensland White and the ACT.

Pool B will feature interstate sides Victoria, Western Australia and Northern Territory as well as an indigenous invitational side, the ASSRL Goannas.

Both pools will compete for their own championships across the week.

WHO COMES OUT ON TOP?

NSW Combined High Schools, who took out the inaugural 18-Years Girls title, will be one of the early favourites in the girls tournament alongside Queensland, NSW Combined Catholic Colleges and the Australian Capital Territory.

But they won’t have it easy at the tournament.

There is plenty of confidence coming from the NSW Combined Catholic Colleges’ camp after a successful trials day last month.

Two young players with plenty of potential to be on the lookout for are fullback Tamworth’s Macey Deitrich and halfback Macey Cox from St Joseph’s, Aberdeen.

In the boys tournament, it really is anyone’s game.

The NSW Combined High Schools team will have plenty of cohesion with six starters coming from reigning Peter Mulholland Cup champions Westfields Sports High.

The school is known for producing successful rugby league players, and the young guns have been working under an impressive program led by Troy Weeden.

But expect plenty of firepower out of the Queensland teams.

National Schoolboys championship winning coach Joshua Bretherton from Ipswich State High will coach the Queensland White side including The Cathedral College’s explosive ballrunner Jake Armstrong.
