Cutters win inaugural Women’s U 19 grand final

Resilient Cutters take out inaugural Harvey Norman Under 19 grand final

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

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

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

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

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

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

Grand Final – Saturday 13th April

Tigers 16 – 18 Cutters

Venue: Totally Workwear Stadium, Brisbane

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Very happy for Matt.

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

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

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

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

QRL Junior grand final previews

Grand final day has arrived for the Harvey Norman Under 19s and Cyril Connell Cup.

Game 1 Suncorp Stadium – 16 May

With both premiership deciders to be played as part of a footy extravaganza at Totally Workwear Stadium on Saturday, April 13.

Following on from the two Queensland Under 17 City v Country clashes – four teams from the Queensland Rugby League’s statewide competitions will chase their piece of history.

In the Cyril Connell Cup, the Redcliffe Dolphins will take on the Townsville Blackhawks while in the Harvey Norman Under 19s the Brisbane Tigers will meet the Mackay Cutters.

Here are the coaches’ thoughts ahead of this weekend’s grand finals.

Harvey Norman Under 19

Brisbane Tigers v Mackay Cutters

Brisbane Tigers coach Damien Pratt: “What impressed me most about our semi-final win was the spirit of which the girls played in.

They were really up for the contest and really challenged themselves.

We were very focused on what we needed to do and executed the way we wanted to.

That helped and now we’re playing in the grand final. At our first training on Tuesday night, we spoke about how we’ve been progressing over the last six weeks.

I really want to see two halves of football the same as one another. We’ve been playing one good half and one okay half so I want to have a complete game to finish our season off.

We don’t know what to really expect from Mackay but from the footage I’ve seen, they’re tough, they have a good kicking game and they’ll come down here wanting to win, for sure.

It’s the first ever Harvey Norman Under 19 grand final and we spoke about this a couple of weeks ago when we knew we were playing in the semi-finals.

It’s been the goal for all of us to look at and it would be an absolute honour for the club, the girls and everyone that’s been involved in this journey for the last five to six months to win the premiership.

To do it at home would be fantastic as well.”

Harvey Norman Under 19 grand final team list

Mackay Cutters coach Matt Sanders: “The conditions certainly weren’t ideal in last week’s semi-final and we probably started pretty poorly and the Western Clydesdales jumped out to an early lead.

But the girls didn’t panic, didn’t play out of character, and by halftime we had the lead. By no means was it comfortable but we did enough to win the game.

It pleased me being able to win when we weren’t at our best.

Moving into this week, we did touch on the occasion of the grand final on Tuesday night.

Not everyone gets to play in a state final and certainly not the very first state final for that competition.

The girls are keen on the idea of getting that piece of history.

We’ve looked at Brisbane and what they bring to the table.

They have very good strengths but we’ve found some areas to focus on.

We’re confident we can get out there and execute our game plan and definitely give it a real good crack this weekend.

For us as a club, we’re a regional club so with that comes a lot of commitment.

We’ve got players who travel 150km just to get to training. They love football, they’re so committed, and the way this club and town has really got behind us this last week or so,

I know how much it would mean to the club and the girls.

They give up so much of their time to be at training.

If we were able to get it done, it would be such a great reward for their commitment and love of the game.”

Cyril Connell Cup

Redcliffe Dolphins v Townsville Blackhawks

Redcliffe Dolphins coach Larry Dickson: “I don’t think we were great in the first half of our semi-final last week.

I think we started well but went to sleep. But what impressed myself and the rest of the coaching staff was our resilience in the second half.

We completed at nearly 92 per cent and that’s what got us home.

Completions and discipline will be our focus again ahead of this Saturday.

The Blackhawks are a very good footy side, a very disciplined footy side.

They’re coming in injury-free. We’re not quite that lucky but I’ve watched a few of their games and they’re just dangerous all across the park.

They play a different style of football to what we play down here.

But we’re not going to change for anyone and we haven’t all year. We’re going to play the football that’s got us here.

This weekend would be pretty big for the boys. It’s all about the team, it’s all about those boys out there playing and those boys that have represented that jersey this year.

It would be big for them and something they will carry forever.”

Townsville Blackhawks coach Nathan Norford: “What I liked about our semi-final performance was us responding to a game plan and executing that and then following through with some of their strengths.

That was obviously really impressive but we know there’s a next level to go and they boys will have to improve again to beat Redcliffe.

The major factor for us is game management and understanding the flow of a game and what’s needed when. We need to make sure we match the Dolphins physically.

They’ve had some very close games, some very physical games and we need to match that. They’re a well-drilled side with quality in their spine. They take smart decisions when they need it.

We’ll need our halves to stand up as well. They have arguably one of the best locks in the competition, who we’ll have to shut down, and quality forwards and outside backs.

They have quality across the whole park.

When it comes to the Cyril Connell Cup, it’s been uplifting to see finals back again.

It gives us an opportunity for kids in country areas to play against the high quality of the city areas and see the standard they set that we make sure we’re maintaining.

They have the opportunity to test themselves against the best players in the state.”

QRL Junior statewide competitions Round 2 preview

Round two of the junior statewide competitions will expand the party to include all teams.

After Pool C kicked off the season last week, Pools A and B – made up of teams from outside the southeast corner – will join the action.

Here’s what you can expect in Round 2.

Mal Meninga Cup

In the Mal Meninga Cup, the Norths Devils will make their first appearance in Round 2 after having the bye in the opening week.

The Devils will play Wynnum Manly, who are coming off a loss. The Seagulls were in the game at halftime, only down 12-6, but it fell apart with Tweed scoring four tries in 11 minutes.

Wynnum Manly will want to avoid a similar collapse this week, looking to build more off their first half performance from Round 1.

Round 2 Mal Meninga Cup team lists

For Norths, coach Shannon Tupara knows the first game brings challenges.

“I don’t think we will be at our most slick but it’s about completing to compete,” Tupara said.

“Wynnum and Tweed were clunky and then Tweed just got momentum and scored so that was the end of the game then.

“We will be aiming not to give Wynnum any momentum.

“I am looking forward to see how our Devils go.”

Wynnum Manly let Tweed run away with it on the back of too much ball – the away team had 439 more metres and eight line breaks. Wynnum Manly could only manage one line break in return.

“It was that 10 minutes that killed us… we have a fair bit of work to do at the moment,” Wynnum Manly coach Daryl Short said.

“We had a good look at Norths two weeks ago in a trial so we have had a look at them and they weren’t full strength and it was a trial game but it was both of those things for us too.”

Harvey Norman Under 19

Round 2 of the Harvey Norman Under 19 will start on Saturday when the Brisbane Tigers take on Tweed.

The Tigers started the season with a win over the Dolphins in Round 1 and will be looking to keep that momentum going.

Relna Hosea was devastating with the ball with 159 run metres and three line breaks while Tahliya Tavita made 15 tackles on the other side of the ball.

Tigers will be keen to maintain possession this weekend and make better use of the ball, after manging to get the win last week with less ball.

“There were some stats that probably show we could have lost that game but we are taking that as a positive,” coach Damien Pratt said.

“’Rocket’ Relna was great for us, and we try and give her early ball and let her loose.

“She has a lot to learn but she’s certainly exciting.”

Round 2 Harvey Norman Under 19 team lists

The Tweed Seagulls are playing their second game and like the Tigers are looking for win number two.

Tweed claimed a 16-10 victory over the Wynnum Manly Seagulls in Round 1, dominating ball possession with 52 per cent.

But they also allowed a lot of offloads, which put them under pressure and kept the score closer than it needed to be.

For the Seagulls, Mia Dendle was a defensive wall with 25 tackles and Phoenix-Raine Hippi made 127 metres.

Cyril Connell Cup

As Cyril Connell Cup moves into Round 2, the Mackay Cutters and Northern Pride will play their first game in an exciting local derby.

As they prepare for their first match of the season, Northern Pride coach Kris O’Farrell said he believes there is a lot of potential within his squad.

“There has been a professional attitude all pre-season, a desire to dig in for one another and work towards a collective goal,” O’Farrell said.

“When we start to believe we belong, we will win games.

“I am looking forward to our trio Ben Walker, Cayde Miller and Jason Hastie.

“The trio are absolutely crucial to the Pride’s go-forward, and with their previous experience in the statewide competitions – and strong work ethic – they are brilliant leaders.”

Round 2 Cyril Connell Cup team lists

Mackay Cutters coach David Roberts meanwhile is excited to see some of his players perform in a Queensland Rugby League competition for the first time.

“Reuben Saron is an outside back that has fantastic feet who has trained really well in the pre-season and has really impressed the coaches,” Roberts said.

“The Pride game will mean a little more this year as they along with us are now the Cowboy’s only affiliated clubs.”

Sims and Young take on new roles

Decorated Sky Blues players Ruan Sims and Rebecca Young are putting those years of playing experience into their new coaching careers in 2023.

Sims is no stranger to the clipboard and whistle. She coached the 2022 NSW Country Women’s team to a 14-6 win over City in May and then was assistant to Harvey Norman NSW Sky Blues coach Kylie Hilder in their 20-16 Origin win over Queensland in June.

In 2023 she will be head coach of the Cronulla Sharks in the NSWRL’s Harvey Norman NSW Women’s Premiership, and assistant coach to the NRLW side making its debut this year in a 10-team competition.

Young, who like Sims is a former Jillaroo, is also stretching her Rugby League talent into the coaching sphere and has been named an assistant for the NRL Indigenous All Stars women’s team.

Young will work with head coach Ben Jeffries for the game in Rotorua on Saturday 11 February – the first time the annual men’s and women’s event against the Maori All Stars has been held in New Zealand.

For Sims, she is already enjoying the cross-pollination with True Blue Craig Fitzgibbon – the Sharks NRL head coach.

“Absolutely. I get a lot more out of if than he does, that’s for sure,” Sims told nswrl.com.au

“He’s been incredibly open and accommodating. From the get-go any training sessions or meetings I’d like to attend, Craig is happy for me to be there.

“It’s great for me to observe and learn off Craig, who in turn worked under Brad Fittler and Trent Robinson as part of their success in Origins and Grand Finals.

“He himself was a rookie NRL coach in 2022 and had such a good year (Sharks finished second on the ladder) so it’s too good an opportunity to pass up as he’s so receptive.”

Sims’ CV is equally impressive as a pioneer of the women’s game – a dual international who represented Australia in rugby union and Rugby League – and the first female player to sign a professional player contract in 2016.

Play something unreal – register for club tackle or Tag in NSW

“There’s a real buzz about the Shire regarding the women’s program,” Sims said.

“It kicked off in Cronulla in 2016 and then the NRLW started in 2018. There was a fair bit of disappointment when the Sharks didn’t get a team into that first year,” she said.

“But now we have and the support locally has been absolutely massive. That’s been a driving force for the club.”

The chance to continue the improvement of the women’s game motivates Sims.

“I have always really enjoyed the feeling I got from helping players develop their skills and find even more enjoyment in the game,” she said.

“There’s always challenges and opportunities that come along and these (Sharks appointments) are ones I didn’t think I would get but I’m relishing definitely – it’s an exciting time, very exciting.”

Sims will be a busy woman alongside her work with ABC Grandstand and the Nine Network’s programs and NRL coverage. That’s on top of her regular job with the NSW Fire Brigade.

“There’s an Excel spread sheet that keeps my life running on track,” Sims joked.

“The thing is, that if you love what you do it doesn’t seem like work. I’m really fortunate that all the careers I do have, I really enjoy them.”

Sims was recognised with the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for her service to Rugby League in 2021.

Queensland Under 17 Country playmaker Emily Bella is doing the famous rugby league name she carries proud as she targets following in the footsteps of Harvey Norman Queensland Maroons legend Ali Brigginshaw.

Emily, 17, is a cousin of former Queensland prop Martin Bella and like her namesake, enjoys the physical contact in defence.

That is where the resemblance ends when it comes to playing style, though, with the Mackay Cutters star a half with all the skills and an ability to lead a team around the paddock.

Bella has good taste in halfbacks that she looks up to and it is no surprise that Queensland’s best, male and female, are at the top of the list.

“There is Ali Brigginshaw in the women’s game… watching her play, she organises a lot and has a good kicking game. All-round, she is just a good halfback,” Emily said.

“I watched the Jillaroos play a few years ago and since then I have always tried to watch her games.

“I love defending and I like the organisation side of it, and having the vision to look up and play what you see like [Brigginshaw].

“In the men’s I always looked up to Johnathan Thurston and Cooper Cronk with how they played the game, their skills, kicking and their organising ability.

“It was inspiring to watch them play and their highlights, just to see how the game was played through their eyes too.”

‘What a weapon!’ – Emily Bella’What a weapon!’ – Emily Bella

Country coach Amanda Ohl said she looked forward to having Emily in the team for the clash with City on October 2, adding she was a very promising all-round talent.

“Emily is an organising half with the ability to control a team and get them around the park,” Ohl said.

“She also had a very good kicking game which you don’t always see in the women’s game.

“She is a very good defender as well. A highlight of our entire team is that ability to defend individually.”

Emily played in the Harvey Norman Under 19 competition at the start of the year and then under 17s more recently.

While playing for the Cutters in a North Queensland carnival, Emily had a feeling was she in the mix for selection.

Representing Country, the classy playmaker said, would be a proud moment.

“At the carnival when the selectors were there, it was pretty cool to play in front of them,” Emily said.

“They were giving a few hints away and coming up to the girls and coaches and asking a few questions about us.

“This [Country v City game] will bring the two sides of the state together and just shows what the country kids have to offer against all the city kids.”

She said Martin Bella – who played 21 State of Origins, nine Tests and 235 first grade games – had been an inspiration.

“Martin was a bit of stirrer,” Emily grinned.

“He ran the ball hard, hit hard and loved the aggression and contact. It is always good to have someone like him there who has had that experience. He is always there to ask questions of.”

Playing in the NRLW in the future is one of Emily’s goals.

As a North Queensland Cowboys supporter, she said she would be thrilled if they were to eventually get a team to play in a further expanded competition.

“That is the dream in the next few years,” Emily said.
