Steelers on top in SG Ball Cup

The Illawarra Steelers came away with two wins and two losses against the Parramatta Eels in the ‘Day of Steel’ at WIN Stadium on Saturday, with Shaun Timmins’ outfit claiming the top spot on the SG Ball Cup ladder with a 16-point win over the visitors.

The Weekend Wrap, brought to you by Harrigan Motor Group.

The Under 19 boys continued their unbeaten run with an impressive 30-16 win over the Eels. They overcame a 6-0 deficit early to lead 12-10 at halftime through tries to Aaymon Fitzgibbon and Tom Kirk.

A second-half brace to skipper Daniel Meafou and a four-pointer to ever-dangerous fullback Lucas Borg was capped by a faultless display with the boot from Clay Baldock, converting 5 from 5 attempts to seal the win.

In a gripping Harold Matthews Cup encounter, a try to the Steelers’ Creighton Meafou gave the hosts a 6-0 lead in the 13th minute before the Eels levelled 10 minutes later.

The visitors were the first to score after the break before Caden Hooper responded for the Steelers in the 43rd minute. With both teams playing enterprising footy, the Eels took a six-point lead in the final ten minutes.

A penalty goal in the last minute would give the Eels a 20-12 win over a gallant Steelers outfit.

The Tarsha Gale U19’s kept their winning record intact with a 38-0 win over the Eels, scoring seven unanswered tries, including a double to Evie McGrath and Indie Bostock.

Courtney Crawford’s charges will host the ladder-leading Sydney Roosters Indigenous Academy next Saturday at Sid Parrish Park.

Earlier in the day, the Steelers U17 girls suffered their first defeat of the season, going down 32-16 to the Eels.

Live stream: NRLW referee Karra-Lee Nolan confident her NSW CHS girls will make splash at ASSRL Nationals

A NRLW referee hopes her inside knowledge of the game can help the NSW CHS girls team become the inaugural champions.

Catch them LIVE in the first of three Saturday games at 1.45pm.

Three NSW teams will be out to be the inaugural Australian Secondary Schools Rugby League (ASSRL) girls champions.

And team manager Karra-Lee Nolan is confident it will be the CHS side that prevails, despite the logistics and problems of getting the team together before the tournament.

Nolan, who is NRLW referee, hopes her inside knowledge of the game can help build the team into champions.

All the action from the inaugural girls championship will be available to watch LIVE and exclusive on KommunityTV, with the NSW CHS side to open their campaign against the ACT at 1:45pm (AEST) on what will be a busy Saturday.

They then play Victoria at 3.50pm and finish off against NSW Combined Catholic Colleges (CCC) at 5.30pm.

ASSRL HUB: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW, FULL SCHEDULES, DAILY LINKS

With players from Illawarra, Central Coast, Newcastle and western Sydney, selecting and bringing in girls from across the state for the competition has been a challenge, but Nolan said it’s looking promising.

“I think bringing the girls together and trying to combine as a unit, where we’re strong on and off the field, has been good,” Nolan said.

“We just told the girls that they need to be keeping fit, stay injury free and keep working on the things that we taught them.”

Nolan’s unique perspective of the game has also helped in the team’s development, and she said their understanding of the game has grown.

“Obviously as a referee, you see a fair bit of the game in terms of the rucks, the ruck speed, tackle technique, plays and things like that,” she said.

“There’s obviously things I pick up on in their games that I can help them refine and help the team get the best outcome.

Nolan has been getting the girls ready.

“There are little idiosyncrasies, little tips and refinements like on ruck positioning and when the referee picks up certain things and why.

“Most players try to learn the rules, but they don’t necessarily understand the why.

“But getting them to understand what (the referees) are looking out for and why it’s crucial for game appreciation and awareness for them to be able to upskill.”

Nolan believes her side has a real chance to go all the way at Redcliffe over the next seven days.

“They’ve got to trust each other and have each other’s backs, and just do their best,” Nolan said.

“Hopefully in a couple of days we’ll be standing up there for the final and the rest is up to them.”

Canberra rugby league referees struggling for numbers

The growth of rugby league is a massive boost for the game, but it’s putting a strain on referees.

They desperately need more numbers as they prepare for juniors to kick off next weekend.

Canberra Referees chairman Matthew Hall put out an SOS for all potential whistleblowers.

They will hold a training course at the old Canberra Raiders headquarters in Bruce – near Canberra Stadium – on Thursday.

The boom in women’s rugby league is driving the growth of the game, but it’s also putting pressure on the number of referees. More games means more are needed.

The Canberra Raiders Cup only kicked off last weekend, with round two on Saturday, while the Katrina Fanning Shield is scheduled to get under way next weekend.

Although that could change with the Monaro Women making the final of the country championships at Leichhardt Oval next Saturday. But referees are already finding themselves stretched.

Hall said they did have good numbers, but sometimes only 30 per cent were available due to work and family commitments.

It was also hard to get people to commit to a full weekend – limiting the games they could do.

Enter the Fun Zone – Timezone

Over a weekend we have about 160 games

“Over a weekend we have about 160 games, including when junior footy kicks off the end of next week, we’re having a shortage of referees.

“We’ve got about 100 members, but at one time we might only have 30 to 50 per cent available due to work commitments or family commitments. We just want to get more referees out on the paddock.”

Hall said there were a variety of reasons to become a referee: you get paid, it’s fun, you became part of a big family and you get the chance to put back into the game.

He encouraged anyone interested to get in touch via the Canberra District Rugby League Referees Association social media or the phone numbers listed on their website.

“We do have a referee’s course coming up Thursday and that’s to help get referees for the junior competition,” Hall said.

‘Rip, tear and bust’: How psych sessions helped rebuild a Brumbies star
“We want people to come and give it a try. If you love it, keep doing it. There is a supportive network of people that are able to help.

“We’re a community-based organisation and we want to provide more back to the game.

“We want to make sure that no one doesn’t have a game because there’s not a referee, but it’s very hard when the numbers are low.

“It is fun and you do get paid for it, too. We don’t do it for the money – if we did it for the money we’d all be broke – but it’s the fun of it.

“We actually enjoy putting back into the game.”

CANBERRA RAIDERS CUP – ROUND 2

Saturday: Gungahlin Bulls v West Belconnen Warriors at Gungahlin Enclosed, 3pm; Woden Valley Rams v Queanbeyan Kangaroos at Phillip Oval, 3pm; Queanbeyan Blues v Yass Magpies at Seiffert Oval, 3pm; Goulburn Bulldogs v Tuggeranong Bushrangers at Goulburn, 3pm.

Steelers Primed For Round One Blockbuster

Illawarra Steelers Harvey Norman Women’s Premiership coach Alicia-Kate Hawke says her team is primed and ready to take on the South Sydney Rabbitohs in their inaugural match on Sunday.

The Scarlet and Whites maiden HNWP match headlines a blockbuster day at WIN Stadium, with the Steelers SG Ball, Tarsha Gale, and Harold Matthews teams facing off against the Penrith Panthers.

Despite stars such as Jillaroos Kezie Apps, Emma Tonegato, and captain Keeley Davis being unavailable as they continue to recover from their World Cup triumph in November.

Shakiah Tungai and Taliah Fuimaono being selected to represent the Indigenous All-Stars, Hawke is confident in the mixture of youth and experience in the weekend’s line-up.

“They definitely know how each other play, and we know the strengths of one another, but we also know it’s going to be a step up in terms of the level of footy,” Hawke says.

“The Rabbitohs are going to be a power team, they’ve got some really strong middles, and they also like to offload.

“We’ll be hopefully looking to weather that storm and play some footy back at them.”

With 12 members of the squad having represented the Steelers Tarsha Gale Cup team in the past.

Fans can expect plenty of exciting combinations to come together in defence and attack this season.

“We hope to have lots of people down there supporting us, and it’ll be great to have the Steelers back on a Sunday afternoon at WIN Stadium. Where else would you want to be?”

SG Ball take on Panthers in Finals rematch

After finishing fifth last season, Steelers SG Ball coach Russ Aitken is also confident that his team’s work during the off-season will come to fruition as they prepare to take on reigning premiers Penrith.

The Panthers beat them in the first week of the finals, with this Round One fixture giving them a chance to get one back over their opponents.

“If we play the Steelers brand of footy that we’ve been working on over the off-season, that’ll put us in a lot of games,” Aitken says.

“We want to play our footy and defend well as a unit. Giving the ball to the opposition on our terms and getting a good kick chase. That’ll be a big part of Round One for us.”

Aitken, a past NRL player with the Cronulla Sharks and Melbourne Storm, added that he has enjoyed the challenge of developing the players on and off the field in his first year in the role.

“The character of the boys was a big thing for us this pre-season.

Illawarra Steelers 2022 Harold Matthews Cup (Photo : Steve Montgomery)

Trying to develop good young blokes as well as good footy players and having that really selfless attitude in all that the boys do.

Hopefully that comes out in their footy and holds them in good stead for life after footy as well.”

The Steelers Harold Matthews and Tarsha Gale Cup teams will also take on the Penrith Panthers this Sunday. The Greater Western Sydney-based club also won both of these competitions in 2022.

After a busy pre-season, all three junior grades will relish the opportunity to test themselves against the benchmark team in each competition come Sunday.

NSWRL crowned Organisation of the Year

The NSWRL has been crowned the Organisation of the Year at the prestigious 2022 Rebel NSW Champions of Sports Awards at the International Convention and Exhibition Centre in Darling Harbour on Monday night.

NSWRL Chief Executive David Trodden collected the award after the NSWRL was chosen over the other finalists including Football NSW, Little Athletics NSW, Volleyball NSW, and Wheelchair Sports NSW/ACT.

Harvey Norman = Official Partner of the NSWRL

It is the second time in four years

It is the second time in four years the NSWRL has been named Organisation of the Year after also taking out the award in 2019.

“This is a great honour for our organisation and acknowledgment of the efforts for our game across the state,” NSWRL Chief Executive David Trodden said.

“I am very proud of everyone that I have the privilege to work with and proud of everyone in the NSWRL family for the outcomes they continue to achieve.”

The NSWRL continued to enjoy success both on and off the field in 2022 despite the extremely difficult circumstances of the past two seasons which have confronted all sports across the state.

Including the COVID pandemic and extreme weather conditions of bushfires and flooding.

The participation figures for 2022 are at almost 106,000, which includes a record number of 23,109 participants for women’s Rugby League.

The NSWRL also enjoys the support of almost 26,500 volunteers and coaches every season which is acknowledged in the annual NSWRL Community Awards. A club and three people from NSW later went on to claim four of the six awards in the NRL Community Awards.

Penrith Panthers Chief Executive Brian Fletcher (l) and NSWRL Chief Executive David Trodden

The NSWRL has demonstrated its commitment to community with several programs to promote diversity and inclusion, including a Women in Sport Leadership program which provides aspiring elite female coaches and administrators with further skills and knowledge to excel as leaders.

Other programs include the Blues Youth Leadership Program, which saw NSW Blues coach Brad Fittler share the values of the NSW Origin team to more than 2000 high school students across the state

The Changing Rooms program, which involves True Blue Paul Langmack talking to teenagers about the importance of mental fitness.

Do you love your footy, want to be close top the action – 2023 Sideline official wanted

On the field, the NSWRL fell just short of a clean sweep of the State of Origin series after winning three of the four major elite trophies.

The Harvey Norman NSW Sky Blues won the Shield back for the first time since 2019; the Under 19s Women’s maintained their unbeaten run;

While the Under 19s Men’s made a triumphant return to the representative arena after COVID forced the match to be abandoned for the past three years.

The NSWRL congratulates the Penrith Panthers after they were named Team of the Year at the 2022 Rebel NSW Champions of Sport Awards.

The Panthers became the first club in history to win four competitions in the same season: the Telstra Premiership in the NRL, and The Knock-On Effect NSW Cup, Jersey Flegg Cup and SG Ball Cup in the NSWRL.

Regional and Metropolitan Referee Developments squads announced

The NSWRL is pleased to announce that Regional and Metropolitan Referee Developments squads will be operating under one system for the 2022 Junior Representative season in line with the NSWRL One State plan.

The referees in both squads this year will be afforded the opportunity to referee across NSW with NSWRL Referee High Performance Manager Stuart Raper excited to unite both squads.

“The One State approach will allow the squads to be interchangeable.

So whether you are regional referee or a metro referee you could be called to any Junior Representative competition,” Raper said.

“We will also be watching closely during the season for any referee who shows potential to get a train and trial or graded into the High Performance squad.”

Officiating, commitment and fitness levels all play a part in a referee being promoted into the High Performance squad, which officiates the NSWRL’s top tier competition The Knock-On Effect NSW Cup.

The referees will continue training under Referee Operations Manager Paul Kalina and Officiating Development Coordinator Gavin Badger who have played significant roles in having the squads ready for the 2022 season.

The One State charter included plans to bring the game in regional NSW and the Sydney metropolitan area closer together, including officials.

It also aims to improve competition opportunities for participants by restructuring the state into six zones.
