NSWRL Junior Reps 2010

[mono_mal]

This is a thread to discuss squad announcements, team news, and announcements regarding the 2010 junior representative seasons.
The composition of the junior competitions seems to be 18 teams in Harold Matthews and 19 teams in SG Ball due to the entry of the Perth Reds to SG Ball. It seems that the Roosters will again take control of their juniors and Newtowns SG ball team will again revert to the Roosters. Theres also been suggestions that Melbourne intend to field a Harold Matthews team within the next few years and talk continues about further country involvement.
The winner of the 2010 competition will play the winners of the Qld competitions the following weekend, differing from this years format where Queensland teams contested the whole finals series.

Gold Coast have apparently chosen to go and play in the Qld competition and apparently WA Reds have made a submission to play in the SG BALL competition.

It makes sense for Gold Coast to enter the Qld competition, especially following the re-structuring of the junior reps. They could enter their own teams in the Mal Meninga and Cyrill Connell Cups or perhaps strengthen ties with local clubs and join forces with several local teams.

That would make it 17 teams in HM and 18 in SG. I vaguely recall hearing something about a Western Division team entering HM in 2010. If correct both competitions would again have 18 teams.

re n s w junior reps, can someone advise where the golgcoast titans u/16 & u/18 are playing in 2010

re n s w junior reps, can someone advise where the golgcoast titans u/16 & u/18 are playing in 2010

They are playing in the qld 16s and 18s junior reps. They will play but won't be known as titans I believe, they can't use the branding for some reason.

 

[listner]

i believe the titans are playing as blues and the whites but i dont know what

 

[Broncos93]

When are Norths relocating their Junior sides to Central Coast?

Excellent work Stan...Now do you have any sources at Wests ?

Thanks Stan.

So what is the word on the Manly Matts and Ball teams? Any for the future and what are their chances for next year?

 

[richies]

Dogs SG Ball went on with it in the 4th, but I hear the Roosters left the "good ones" at home and played mostly fringe players.

Girvie, I hear the two North Sydney twins from last years Harold Matts have gone to Wests ?
Not sure they will get a run in SG Ball plenty ahead of them.......but they sure did carve us up last year when we played them.

 

[CoachMan]

I can tell you definately those twins were with Wests the other night. They havent made the switch as of yet, but it looks good.

It is now official the twins are with Wests as of 9.30 tonight, the Bears have been advised though I must say the boys have been very happy at Norths

 

[CoachMan]

I'm actually coaching the boys over at Wests, and they were very happy at Norths. We were more than happy for them to stay up there if they were playing ball this year. Providing they stay on the current trail they're on, they've got big futures

That'll be a shame.

Definitely gave a lot to the club and great players to watch.

Hey CoachMan, Not having a go at you - But wondering how you see that happening at Wests?

One plays fullback and the other five-eighth.

The two current fullbacks at Wests James Tedesco and David Nofoaluma have both been signed by Wests Tigers and are eligible for SG Ball in 2010 and 2011.
Tedesco was Harold Matts player of the year and Nofoaluma played for NSW under 16's. Both favourites of coach Derek McVey.

The five-eighth is behind captain Mitchell Brasington who was the top pointscorer in the Harold Matts comp in 2009 and is also eligible for SG Ball in 2010 and 2011. Derek will keep him in the team for his goal kicking alone.


I agree they are talented kids but it will be difficult for them to break into the team at Wests in particular if the current coach remains in 2011.

 

[CoachMan]

I agree with you mate that it's gonna be hard for them to crack starting spots in ball. The boys both know that.

I can't comment on why they decided to come across, but all I know is the boys seem pretty happy.
