St Brendan's College v Emmaus College (Cup)

Centre Leo Fanuatanu made it try number two in the shadow of halftime to give them a 10-nil lead at the break.

With their season on the line, TCC came out firing, determined to peg back the lead.

Dolphins-contracted centre Eli McKay crossed in the 42nd minute to make it 10-6 and set the stage for a blockbuster finish.

Grammar’s early kicking game helped relieve some defensive pressure as TCC searched desperately for more points.

They had one last shot when they broke down the left edge, only for Grammar’s winger Cormack Werner to pull off a brilliant tackle to ultimately seal the game and a final berth.

Earlier, St Brendan’s overcame a lightning start from defending champions Emmaus College to pile on five tries straight to win their semi-final showdown.

Captain Simon Green was outstanding, his speed and skill helping orchestrate the 24-10 win.

He was well supported by forward Brock Otto, who did a mountain of work in the middle, and young gun Jay Marsh, who tackled his heart out.

St Brendan’s coach Scott Minto said his outfit showed a fair bit of resilience after Emmaus got the jump on them with two early tries.

Fullback Harri Meilland fired the first shot for Emmaus, scoring just three minutes into the game, before teammate Brenten Haigh went over to make it 10-0.

Brendan’s second rower Harrison Hill helped turn the tide, scoring the first of Brendan’s haul in the 20th minute.

Tyler Melrose, Jay Marsh, Carter Ford and Harvey Mahoney also got in on the action.

Brendan’s showed plenty of flair in attack but their defence was equally as impressive, keeping Emmaus scoreless for almost 50 minutes of the game.

into said it was tough but in the end, his team got home with a fairly decent win.

“The majority of our forwards did a good job, so there’s good signs if we can hold the ball,” he said.

We profile the leading players who could help decide Tuesday’s results.

St Brendan’s

Simon Green

The captain has been huge on all fronts. His stinging defence is complemented by his organisation in the middle third, but it’s his ability to pick the line apart which separates him from the rest. Three tries against Grammar in the team’s last outing will have him humming and full of confidence.

Carter Ford

Last time he played against Emmaus, he scored a try for the ages. Middles don’t score tries like the one he produced that night. He beat two defenders before racing down the sideline and scoring under the posts from his own half. Fully fit and ready to rip in, he will have a big impact in the middle of the field.

Jake Oberhardt

If his game against Grammar was a sign of things to come, then Oberhardt is primed for a big one on Tuesday. He’s raw, aggressive and hungry. In attack he brings late feet, which makes him a constant threat to opposition lines, and then there’s his defence. He loves the contact and competing with each effort. He will look to combine well with the other boys.

The Cathedral College

Eli McKay.

Eli McKay

A classy centre who has signed with the Dolphins after being courted by a number of NRL clubs. Represented Queensland Country under-17 in April before playing his way into the Queensland schoolboys. TCC’s captain, he sets the benchmark with every performance. An all-round player who is a very strong defender, powerful runner and hard to contain.

Jaiden Savage

Tireless front rower who played for CQ Capras in the Cyril Connell Cup this year. Tough as they come and loves the contest. Does a lot of work in his carries and his defence is first-rate.

Cruz Beazley.

Cruz Beazley

Another tough middle forward who is always ready to roll up his sleeves and do the hard yards. A Capricornia under-18 representative, he is relentless in the middle of the field and does a lot of work defensively for TCC.

Rockhampton Grammar

Riley Sullivan.

Riley Sullivan

A talented hooker, he leaves no stone unturned in his preparation. Grammar’s school captain, he has the respect of his peers and when he talks, the team listens. An integral part of the team as he controls the ruck with or without the ball.

Callum Denman

Joined Grammar from Blackwater this year. He is a big-game player who exudes calm in chaotic situations and has the job of steering the team around each week. A gifted halfback with an incredible work ethic.

Tumanako Hatley.

Tumanako Hatley

The second rower joined Grammar this year and has flourished. Shows great leadership within the group through his communication. He is the player that takes it upon himself to lift the team through his actions and words.

Emmaus College

Will McLaughlin

The team’s conductor, he is a great communicator and organiser and leads by example. A crafty halfback who has a great running and kicking game. An unpredictable player, he has the X-factor.

Josh Nilon.

Josh Nilon

Tough-as-nails back rower who is aggressive in attack and defence. A strong ball runner, he is one of the team’s most impactful players. Lays the platform for his teammates and never takes a backward step.

Lathan McMeeken

Hooker/lock who is a tackling machine with a huge engine. A great runner from dummy half, he is also an exceptional ball player who can break down the opposition’s defence.
