REPLAYS

Queensland v NSWCCC (U18s Boys Grand Final)

The Bulldogs had to fight off the Wests Tigers and Canberra to land the signature of Reece Walsh doppelgänger David Bryenton.

On Friday in Coffs Harbour, we finally saw why they fought so hard for his signature as he came up with one of the tries of the tournament in a dominant 22-10 victory for Queensland in the ASSRL Nationals final.

Only a matter of weeks after the Maroons claimed the State of Origin series, generation next turned it on. The present and the future looks bright for Queensland.

Bryenton’s tournament has been a slow burn but the battle of the fullbacks was always going to have a decisive say in the outcome of their match against NSW CCC.

NSW CCC fullback Cameron Bamblett had arguably been the player of the tournament heading into the final. It was Bryenton, however, who came up with the decisive moment in the title decider.

The Maroons fullback, who has drawn comparisons with Walsh for his electric style of play, took a bomb from NSW CCC halfback Chase Butler, beat a tackle, spun out of another and raced 75 metres to score just after halftime.

His try gave the Maroons a 14-4 lead early in the second half as they capitalised on a flying start, which they made thanks to Broncos outside back Siosaia Poese.

Poese forced his way over in only the fourth minute before some class from hooker Jai Billish eight minutes later created a second Queensland try for Sydney Roosters-aligned prop Xzavier Timoteo.

Billish slipped out of dummy half and looked one way before offloading an inside ball for Timoteo, who did the rest.

The Maroons were on the march but three minutes before halftime NSW CCC found a lifeline thanks to captain Roman Tuaimau and Butler.

Tuaimau did well to keep the ball alive before it found its way into the hands of the classy Butler. The Newcastle half summed it up quickly, floating a long ball for Cooper Morrison to score and bridge the gap heading into halftime.

After Bryenton produced his moment of brilliance, Queensland halfback Hayden Watson extended the advantage with a sharp piece of play out of dummy half.

Watson wears the No.7 jersey but he has also played hooker in clubland and he showed Harry Grant-like instincts as he snuck down the blind side and caught out the NSW CCC defence.

There was still time for Butler to come up with a moment of brilliance but it was to no avail as Queensland secured the title.

PLAY OF THE DAY

How can you go past Bryenton’s solo stunner. The second half was less than a minute old when he took a bomb and went to work. Bryenton’s electrifying pace was too much for NSW CCC to handle as he beat the first line of defence and raced away.

PLAYERS OF THE DAY

Hayden Watson: The Queensland No.7 has been a model of consistency throughout the national titles. Contracted to the Melbourne Storm, he is on the fast-track to stardom if his performance in Coffs Harbour is anything to go by. Scored a crucial try in the final, pinned NSW CCC on their own line with his kicking game and was named player of the final.

Tupou Francis: The Queensland lock is all class and he showed it in the final against NSW CCC. Francis is tied to the Brisbane Broncos and looks destined for a long NRL career given his consistency at the national titles.

Roman Tuaimau: The NSW CCC captain was a handful for the Maroons in a beaten side. The Canberra Raiders back rower looks a player of genuine class.

Christopher Petrus - Petrus has been a star for NSW CCC at the national titles and it was no surprise when he was named their player of the tournament. Petrus is among a batch of Parramatta players who have been outstanding throughout the week.

NSWCHS v Queensland (U18s Girls Grand Final)

NSW CHS held on against a fast-finishing Queensland to win the women’s title at the national secondary schools championships in Coffs Harbour.

The CHS side burst out of the blocks thanks to powerhouse front rower Felila Fakalelu, who crashed over from close range in only the eighth minute as NSW took the early ascendancy.

It was the first of two tries to Fakalelu, whose second try early in the second half came after hooker Koffi Brookfield produced a smart play out of dummy half to catch the Queensland defence napping.

It was all one-way traffic but having built an 18-0 lead, with a NSW CHS victory looking a formality, they took their foot off the accelerator and opened the door to a Queensland comeback.

Queensland set up a grandstand finish when Ikeisha Ngaru and Orianna Clark scored within a few minutes midway through the second stanza.

A flying Ngaru swooped on a cross-field kick from Torah Luadaka to close the gap before Clark left four NSW CHS defenders on the ground as she forced her way over.

The Maroons weren’t just battling NSW CHS - they were also up against the clock. Queensland found time to close the gap again in the dying embers of the match as Deleni Paitai hurtled onto a short ball to score.

However, they opted to take the kick at goal to narrow the gap to two points and there wasn’t time for the ensuing kickoff as NSW CHS scored a thrilling two-point win to take the title.

PLAY OF THE DAY

Queensland lost an agonising final but they came up with a moment of brilliance in a beaten cause. Five-eighth Torah Luadaka, who was named Queensland’s man of the match, juggled a pass in the second half but somehow managed to retain possession only inches above the ground. She then regained her composure and put the ball on a dime for a flying Ikeisha Ngaru to score.

PLAYERS OF THE DAY

Felila Fakalelu: Named player of the final and it was well deserved. The NSW CHS prop got the ball rolling on Friday with an early try and she was a handful every time she touched the ball, finishing with a double after adding a second try early in the second half with another powerhouse burst. What a player.

Torah Luadaka: Named Queensland’s player of the final and it was well deserved. The classy five-eighth had a hand in two of the Maroons’ three tries, the first with a smart kick and the second with a quality pass.

ACT v NSWCHS (U18s Boys Selection)

NSW CHS and ACT ended their championships on an entertaining note, playing out a back-and-forth contest with the former prevailing 22-20.

CHS got off to a spectacular start when EJ Mahu-Delamere broke down the right and popped a kick back inside for the oncoming CJ Udeh - in his first start for the week - to beat two ACT defenders to the ball and plant it down for the first.

Mahu-Delamere got on the board himself for the second, skipping back inside with intent to score before second-rower Darcy Smith bounced through shortly after for a third.

ACT hit back however, initially through winger Viliami Siale before Cooper Johnston added another just before the half-time siren to make it 16-8.

Johnston got his second eight minutes after the break when Jamie Cowling popped a short kick into his path to bring the margin to two.

Cowling went from provider to a solo star when he went himself and crashed through three CHS defenders to cross and put his side in the lead for the first time in the match.

But it was Bass High School winger Udeh who would have the last say, fending an ACT defender after a big break to score the crucial try and win it 22-20 for CHS.

CAS v NSWCIS (U18s Boys Selection)

NSW CIS flyer Josh Ballard crossed for a remarkable five tries as his side capped off a strong week with a crushing defeat of Combined Affiliated States.

The Rabbitohs-linked Waverley College winger took his tournament total to nine with another standout performance in the 42-22 victory on Friday.

CIS, who went down to Queensland in the semi-finals, outclassed CAS in the high-scoring selection match with Ballard and five-eighth Callum Grantham forming a potent combination.

Cyrus Bloomfield and Ryan Tukapua also crossed for CIS, while standout Melbourne Storm junior rep Waka Hammond scored two tries for CAS from halfback.

PREVIEW

Two State of Origin-style showdowns will headline a massive grand finals day at the ASSRL Under-18s National Championships in Coffs Harbour.

Queensland’s girls and boys sides have a shot at taking out the national title double, but will have to contend with NSW Combined High Schools and NSW Combined Catholic Colleges, respectively, in two big deciders.

The grand final day action will also include two Under-18 boys selection trials, offering players one last chance to earn a spot in the Australian Schoolboys team.

Every match from the grand final day will be exclusively live streamed on KommunityTV.

The two teams in the boys decider will admit they were far from their best to start the tournament, but have both improved the longer the week has gone.

Queensland bulldozed their way into the grand final off the back of impressive performances from electric Palm Beach Currumbin duo Jai Billish and Taj Lateo.

The pair ignited the boys from the Sunshine State with two tries in the opening 10 minutes, as they cruised to a 32-22 win over NSW CIS in the semi-finals.

It was a performance that was a far cry from their day one draw with NSW CHS.

Reigning champions NSW CCC have arguably come further than their rivals after their shock opening round loss to NSW CIS.

The side, which features a high concentration of talent out of premier NRL nursery Patrician Brothers Blacktown, have been at its bruising best since that loss.

Parramatta Eels juniors Cameron Bamblett, Chris Petrus and AJ Johanssen were a class above as they inspired the side to come-from-behind twice in the semi-final win over NSW CHS.

The grand final showdown will feature a battle between two of the fastest rising fullbacks in rugby league, with Patrician Brothers Blacktown’s Bamblett, going head-to-head with Keebra Park speedster David Bryenton.

Bryenton, who has footwork to rival his childhood hero Benji Marshall, had been signed to the Broncos academy system after being spotted playing in New Zealand.

The astute Bulldogs recruitment team have since pounced on the electric fullback bringing him into the Belmore kennel from next season.

The girls grand final is a replay of last year’s ASSRL Under-18s decider, it’s just this time reigning champions Queensland will arguably enter the fray as underdogs to NSW CHS.

The two sides have already met this week, with a Sharon Latapu try in golden point the only thing that could separate the pair.

The NSW CHS side features a host of exciting talents who managed to take out the Under-16s national title last year spearheaded by Sydney Roosters academy talents Anastasia Leatupue and Logan Fletcher.

On the other side of the ball is a hungry Queensland forward pack spearheaded by the dominant Misa sisters, Amanii and Mele, while enigmatic playmaker Evelyn Roberts has pulled all the right strings this week.

NRLW scouts be on the look out as there is talent galore in this schoolgirls grand final.
