A Raiders rising star and the son of an NRL premiership gun combined to set up the try of the season as St Gregory’s College powered into the Peter Mulholland Cup finals.
After missing the finals on for-and-against last season, the Campbelltown nursery made sure of their spot in the play-offs with a dominant 40-8 win over rivals Hills Sports High.
The emphatic victory, which ensured St Gregory’s clean swept its Pool D rivals, was set up by a sensational Lorima Cosgrave four-pointer in the opening stages which had NRL fingerprints all over it.

A regulation kick was picked up by Raiders-contracted fullback Prestyn Smallwood two metres out from his own tryline. The enigmatic number one turned on the jets to beat a couple of chasers before unleashing winger Aidan Richards down the left touchline.
Richards, the son of Wests Tigers 2005 grand final hero Pat Richards, streamed up field and looked on for a try of his own before he was brought down by an ankle tap at the 40 metre line.
Richards managed to find an offload for Cosgrave who stormed to the tryline as the St Gregory’s crowd rose as one.
It was a moment that set the tone for the home side.
While Hills managed to hit back either side of the halftime break through a double to outside back Kingston Vaitusi, they never managed to gain the upper hand over their rivals.
Richards was controversially denied a try of his own late in the first half, but St Greg’s didn’t have to wait long to get a deserved try after Smallwood proved too elusive from close range.
Hills failed to find touch from a penalty kick, and Greg’s punished them with a bullet Curtis Lakeman cutout putting Josh Vella over to gift them a 16-4 halftime lead.
Vella would find the tryline twice more in the second half, while Elijah Mears took advantage of a quick play-the-ball to dive out of dummy-half and nab his own four-pointer.
In fitting fashion Cosgrave bookended the contest with his second try of the day as the rowdy St Gregory’s crowd began chanting “we love you Mack truck, we do”.
PREVIEW
When St Gregory’s College coach Tom Morrison calls bullocking lock Lorima Cosgrave a Mack truck, he means it.
He still has the tyre mark down his chest to prove it.
Coming head-to-head with his young charge in a local seniors game, Morrison got a first hand insight of what other front rowers across the Peter Mulholland Cup have had to deal with this season.
It is a raw power he wants to see again when the proud Campbelltown nursery hosts Hills Sports High on Tuesday. The clash will be exclusively live streamed FREE on KommunityTV from 1pm.
The live stream will be available to watch in the video player above from 15 minutes before kick off.
“He is a Mack truck, once he gets going he is very hard to knock off centre,” Morrison said.
“He played some games in the seniors for Campbelltown City and he scored a good try in the game against us. He made half a break and I came across thinking I could make a cover tackle on him.
“He stomped me into the turf and kept on running to the tryline.
“He is a classy player, but I keep trying to tell him he isn’t a dummy-half anymore, he’s a middle forward out and out.”
The lock is one of several players in an undersized engine room which has continued to punch above its weight in 2025.
Front rower Ryan Mackander has been phenomenal for the school, while Jake Gaffney has shown he isn’t afraid to hold the gloves up against bigger opposition packs.
With two wins from two games, St Gregory’s have already punched their ticket to the finals series, putting last year’s anguish of missing play-offs by a mere two points on for-and-against.
While the result of their contest against Hills Sports High doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of the season, for Morrison a win is almost critical.
“We want to play well at our school and put on a show for the school,” he said.
“A lot of teams really enjoy their home field advantage, but we haven’t had that in recent years. We have really struggled for results there, so we want to give them something to cheer.”
It will be a final run out for Hills Sports High who are not able to qualify for the finals after losing their opening two matches of the season.
