2025 Peter Mulholland Cup live stream: Endeavour Sports High v Patrician Brothers Fairfield

They have the power and speed up front and class out the back, but it’s an unseen quality which Endeavour are tapping into in its title quest. Watch the Peter Mulholland Cup LIVE on Friday.

They have the most feared forward pack in the NRL Schoolboys Cup and a pair of representative calibre halves steering the ship, but what has impressed Endeavour Sports High coach Dave Howlett most has nothing to do with talent.

The experienced mentor highlighted his team’s mentality and determination as the key pillars to their success ahead of a crucial Round 2 clash with Patrician Brothers Fairfield.

The Peter Mulholland Cup clash will be exclusively live streamed on KommunityTV on Friday.

Endeavour are coming into the contest off the back of a dominant 36-point opening round win, built off a foundation of hard work and pride in what they do.

“It is really enjoyable to see the boys who didn’t have leadership roles in the team last year, they have sought out that leadership this season,” he said.

“They experienced what the Year 12s did for them last year and they have wanted to carry on that. If we had to say who was in our leadership group, it would be over half the team.

“The boys are passionate about the jumper, the school and each other … and it shows.

While Australian Schoolboys representative Tom Dellow is a clear leader in the middle of the field, he has been joined in the forwards by Kiwi recruits Hudsyn Frost and Jake White, while backrower Blake Watman has gone to another level this season.

“(Our forward pack) definitely impressed me in Round 1, they work well as a unit,” Howlett said.

“One advantage is that while our starting pack is very strong, the boys on the bench are proving they are just as strong. We don’t lose anything with our momentum or strength.

“It has been a while since we have had that depth.”

Endeavour’s new-found depth will surely be tested against a Patrician Brothers Fairfield side which has built its success off its power game.

Coached by champion Bulldogs front rower Frank Pritchard, the proud rugby league nursery is coming off a tough opening round loss against Hunter Sports High.
