2025 Storm Cup live stream: Hallam College v The Grange, grand final

Hallam College will aim to create a Storm Cup legacy as they clash with The Grange in a massive grand final on Thursday night. Watch all the action LIVE from 7pm.

Hallam Secondary College believes Thursday’s night Storm Cup grand final is an opportunity to leave a legacy.

For many of the year 12 students in the defending champions team, this will be their final game of school rugby league.

Standing in their way is The Grange Secondary College, who will be determined to cause an upset.

Hallam coach Janan Billings said there was an opportunity for his team to do “something to remember”.

“We’ve got eight boys who have played consistently in the Open team since Year 10 and we’ve got a few guys who have been there the last couple of years,” he said.

“Majority of this year’s team is in Year 12 and there would be no better way for them to do it.

“Being there and having experienced winning is a good thing, but we won’t be taking The Grange lightly.

“We’ll have a few who have never been here and it will be about guiding them to the finish line as well.”

Melbourne has experienced heavy rain in the lead-up to the game and Billings believes it could change how the game is played.

“It will probably come down to who can hold the ball for longer and complete their sets,” he said.

“Controlling the ball is going to be so important. They’ve (The Grange) have got a good forward pack and some real pace out wide so we will need to go away and do our homework.”

Check out some of the future stars on show in the Storm Cup grand final below.

Waka Hammond (Hallam)

The best halfback in the competition. Really smart footballer, possesses sharp ballplaying ability but also a good running game. Contracted to the Storm and is currently in their Jersey Flegg (U21s) side.

Texas Esera-Saluni (The Grange)

Speedy winger who knows how to find his way to the try line. Has been one of the breakout stars of the Storm Cup this season. If he spots half a gap, he will take the shot. He was the Melbourne Storm’s best back and players’ player in the Harold Matts (U17s) this year.

Phoenix Woods (Hallam)

Big, tough and doesn’t know how to go backwards. Everything you want in a front rower. He is an absolute man mountain in the middle of the park for Hallam and will lay the foundation for his side.

Zephaniah Faumuina (The Grange)

Light on his feet, but tough with his workrate, Faumuina is the perfect modern-day centre. He is contracted to the Storm in their pathways system and has had a taste of SG Ball this season.
