2025 Dolphins Cup live stream: Emmaus College vs The Cathedral College, Round 1

Two Cowboys-contracted forwards will lead the charge for The Cathedral College in their Dolphins Cup opener against Emmaus. Watch them in action LIVE.

A hulking forward pack will be a key weapon in The Cathedral College’s arsenal as they hunt their first Dolphins Cup title.

The Rockhampton nursery will look to get its campaign off to a winning start in their Round 1 clash against Emmaus College on Tuesday, June 3.

It will be part of a massive triple header of schools league action with the two proud nurseries clashing in the Dolphins Challenge (Year 10) and NRL Schoolgirls Cup on the day.

You can watch all the action, with all the games being exclusively live streamed on Kommunity TV.

The Cathedral College coach Tony Martin said his troops were itching to get on the field after being in training since before Christmas.

“Up until now they’ve done everything right and we’ve seen some major improvements over the last few months,” he said.

Epafelasi Noa.

“The first couple of games are more about trying to learn our style of play and what works for us.”

Martin said much of the team’s game plan would be centred around its formidable forward pack led by Cowboys-contracted Tongan enforcers - 118kg Epafelasi Noa and 114kg Alekisio Siale.

The duo, who tip the scales at 118kg and 114kg respectively, will provide plenty of punch up front.

“They provide us with size that we probably haven’t had in the past but there’s some other boys there - Zac Bateman, Parker Gallagher, Parker Hunt - who also bring some size and experience and who have played at a fair level,” he said.

“We’re pretty strong through the middle and that will be somewhere we look to target in our games.”

Emmaus coach Mitchel Smith is excited for season kick-off, saying this year’s team had a similar feel to his Cup-winning team of 2023.

“These boys have come through the ranks together, and connection is something we’ve talked a lot about,” he said.

Harri Meilland will line up in the halves for Emmaus.

“When we’re on, we’re on and when we’re connected we’re a hard team to beat.”

Smith has made several key positional changes this year, with Harri Meilland moving into the halves and skipper Lathan Mcmeeken switching from hooker to fullback.

Emmaus has played several trial games, with all players getting some good minutes under their belts.

“We know TCC are going to be a good team but we just need to worry about ourselves and what we can do,” Smith said.

“Come Tuesday, we’ll know just where we’re at.”
