Coach’s Final Say: “We will be coming into Round 1 fit and healthy, we know these boys simply love playing for the college and will have themselves ready to go come game time. A large portion of the team played in last year’s competition as 16 years olds so they are returning this year much more mature and experienced which should set the tone for the rest of the team.”
THE HILLS SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL
Coach: Scott Jones
Captain: Billy Scott
Past Cups: 2 (2010 and 2011)
Current NRL Alumni: Wade Graham (Sharks) Jorge Taufua, Josh Schuster (Sea Eagles)
Addin Fonua Blake (Warriors) Dylan Brown, Oregon Kaufusi, Haze Dunster, Reagan Campbell-Gillard (Eels) Jeremy Marshall King (Bulldogs) Shawn Blore (Tigers)
2022 Squad List: Jonathon Ibriham, Vena Patuki Case, Billy Scott, Sam Squire, Harry Hassett, Luron Patea, Marc Tannous, Jordan Bunt, Jordan Uta, Callan Phillips, Ilai Esua, Alex Fonoti, Moustafa Dirani, Lorenzo Talataina, Peteru Pritchard, Levi Mariri, Henry Finau, Albert Litisoni, Mitchell Owen, Blake Metcalfe, Siaosi Kaliti, Liam Aarons, Alaa Lababidi, Hayden Stevens, Cassius Taia
Coach’s Final Say: “After the last couple of years, the boys are very eager to get some uninterrupted footy this year. They’ve been preparing as best they can, they’ve been in the gym a lot with the wet weather. We’ve got a senior squad this year which is a blessing. A lot of our boys are in year 12 which hasn’t really happened for us in the last 10 years.”
WESTFIELDS SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL
Coach: Troy Weeden
Captain: Kit-Kamisi Laulilii
Past Cups: 2 (2016, 2019)
Current NRL Alumni: Jake Averillo, Matthew Doorey, Brandon Wakeham (Bulldogs), Manase Fainu, Sean Keppie, Taniela Paseka, Jason Saab, Joshua Schuster (Sea Eagles), David Klemmer (Knights), Lindsay Smith (Panthers), Moses Suli (Dragons), Tommy Talau, Stefano Utoikamanu (Tigers)
2022 Squad List: Jackson Cahill-Smith, TK Cecil-Hamiora, Zachary Coom, William Craig, Tallyn Da Silva, Wiremu Davis, Sila Dempy, Mitchell Doorey, Sosefo Finau, Lachlan Galvin, Kobi Hurford, Kit-Kamisi Laulilii, Luke Laulilii, Jeremiah Leatigaga, Markkuz Ofanoa, Ricardo Oloapu, Sebastian Piukala, Heith Pritchard, Roy Quiroz-Mapusua, Solomone Saukuru, Denzel Schaafhausen-Mino, Jesse Siofele, Blaize Talagi, Masei Tavui, Sam Tuivati, Daniel Waqa, Mark Williams, Aiman Yaghi
Coach’s Final Say: “We were a young side last year so most of those kids are back playing for us again. Every year you know you’re going to come against the best sides like Hills, Endeavour and Blacktown but until you start playing you don’t really know whose returning and what they’ve got so it’s hard to get a gauge on them just yet.”
ENDEAVOUR SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL
Coach: Brad Kelly
Captain: To be rotated throughout the year
Past Cups: 4 (2004, 2005, 2006, 2014)
Current NRL Alumni: Kevin Naiqama, Paul Momirovski (Roosters)

2022 Squad List: Lama Afu, Nicholas Belarra, Luca Bento , Matthew Crossingham, Trent Dixon, Mitchell Field, Jack Ford, Legacy Haami , Bronson Harden-Emery, Ryan Hicks, Viliami Hikila, Aiden Hodges, Zane Karout, Brady Lauretti, Kalan Ngaika, Kobe Pepene, Elijah Porio, Bryce Sait , Risiate Smythe, Cyrus Stanley-Traill, Chevy Stewart, Tukia Taufa, Jayze Tuigamala, Connal Amosa, Terry Ballis, Kye Beckett, Liam Christie , Cruiz Devine*, Koby Douglas, Charnze Enoka, Dylan Frazer, William Gibson , Aaron Langer, Kakile Leha, Samson Mairi, Noa Penitani, Fynn Perryman , Ryan Rapata-Clements, Zachariah Talau, Junior Taupau
Coach’s Final Say: “We’ve got a couple of players returning who were in year 11 last year, but it’s pretty much a new team. The boys here who have been at school since year seven really look forward to playing Schoolboys Cup, they aspire to be in the top team but all have to wait their turn.”
ERINDALE COLLEGE
Coach: Ash Barnes
Captain: Regan Carr
Current NRL Alumni: Jack Wighton, Nic Cotric, Jarrod Croker, Harley Smith-Shields (Raiders), Paul Vaughn, Tevita Pangai Jr (Bulldogs)
2022 squad: Sam Gash, Jack Clutterbuck, Regan Carr*, Jacob Iesofa, Alex Sweeney*, Ethan Alaia, Jonah Anderson, Jordan Eti*, Xavier Cacciotti, Ben Castle*, Noah Martin, Ben McSpadden*, Jack Anderson*, Blake Hovi, Jayden Svager, Jonah Sullivan, Max Mercer, Will O’Malley*, Peter Soward, Josh Urbaniak, Owen McCaughan*, Michael Theodordis, Paul Monta
Past Cups: 2 (1997, 1998)
Coach’s Final Say: “It is an exciting team. It is pretty young but we have a lot of guys that have come out of a successful Harold Matts Cup season for the Raiders. We have big squad and it has grown over the last couple of years. We have gone down the path of trying to help and draw from the entire Canberra region. We play a game style where we move the footy a bit. Hopefully that is an advantage for us especially having guys who have played a lot of footy together.”
HALLAM COLLEGE
Coach: Jamie Fardell
Captain: Josiah Nelli
Past Cups: 0 (debuted in the NRL Schoolboys Cup in 2015)
Current NRL Alumni: Rhys Kennedy (Broncos) Kelma Tuilagi (Tigers)
2022 Squad List: Izaac Batey, Shaan Bhullar,
Waka Brown-Rapana-Edwards, William Cabebula, Nikau Chrichton, Bobby Deo, John Faoa-Palalagi, Kody Gibbs, Haze Heke, Rhylis Hohepa, Wyntah Hukui, Quaider Kea, Ralph Kennar, Ishmael Layuni, Lorenzo Leau, Feno Manuel, Farani Momoemausu, Michael Nautu, Josiah Neli, Jeremiah Neli, Isaiah Okusitino, Rua Ropoama, Ezekiel Tausili, DJ Tumui, Joseph Ua, Calston Wells
Coach’s Final Comment: “We have huge respect for the NRL Schoolboys schools and the rugby league programs they run. We have had successful and unsuccessful moments with all the teams in our pool but we just wish to get back to playing regular schoolboy footy.”
THE GRANGE P-12 COLLEGE
Coach: Shannon Love
Captain: Suliasi Prescott
Past Cups: 0 (First year in NRL Schoolboys)
Current NRL Alumni: 0
2022 Squad List: Ethan Barlow–Sua, Braith Filivaa-Palalagi, TJ Sivanila, Iziah Havea, Shan-Ty Fatuleai, Alizae Tukapua, Suliasi Prescott, Richard Gabriel, Caleb Iuta-McCullough, Tana Maiava, Deltin Te Pania, Josiah Faasavalu, Mauo Kaisala, Abel Cecil-Faaofo, Darius Seve, Mason Finau, KC Taunoa,, Michael Hunt, George Faafuata
Coach’s Final Comment: “Being competition first-timers we’re a little unsure how it’s all going to pan out, playing against sides interstate, sides we’ve never seen before or even hoped to be playing against. Seeing what the other schools have to offer is going to be a great experience for our students as well as us as coaching staff. We understand we’ll probably be the underdogs again, which we were in the qualifiers, so we’ll just keep turning up week in and out and hopefully it puts us in a position where we can compete with some of the biggest schools across the country.”
ILLAWARRA SPORTS HIGH
Coach: Nick O’Hara
Captain: Ethan Cliff
Past Cups: 0
Current NRL Alumni: Jayden Sullivan, Junior Amone, Mat Feagai, Max Feagai, Tyrell Sloan, Jack Bird (Dragons), Aaron Schoupp (Bulldogs), Jackson Hastings (Tigers), Tyson Frizell (Knights), Damien Cook (Rabbitohs)
2022 squad list: Te Heremaia Tukere*, Cuba Cleavan-Van De Laark*, Samson Wood, Ethan Cliff*, Darnell Te Ahuru, Isaiah Hegedus*, Zac Scott, Viliami Amone*, Zane Thompson, Nuku Vatuvei*, Toby Miller, Tristan Dawson*, Zak Maarbani*, Yazan Hammad*, Palu Tausala*, Zecharaiah Taufa, Braith Plecas, Mitchell Sweet, Tony Taani, Josh Daniel
Coach’s Final Say: “The last couple of years we have made great improvements. Traditionally we were less competitive but we have proven that we can match it with the bigger schools. There is a bit of confidence growing for the last couple of years and we have good development in the squad with several players coming back from last year.”
ALL SAINTS MAITLAND
Coach: Chris Brennan, Shane Whereat
Captain: Myles Martin and Caleb Garvie
Past Cups: 0 (2 x Trophy wins, 2018 Cup quarter-finals)
Current NRL Alumni: Hudson Young (Raiders), Max King (Bulldogs), Jock Madden (Tigers), Brodie Jones, Brayden Musgrove (Knights)
2022 Squad: Machai Pillidge, Jasper Cain, Tom Lovegrove, Lucas Hickling, Riley Smith, Khynan Butler*, Fletcher Thompson, Ashton Farrell, Caleb Garvie*, Nicholas Tuliatu, Joseph Green, Ethan Quinn, Myles Martin, Trey Morris, Taite Swinton, Lachlan Hickson, Brock Allaway, Hamish Munro, Montell Owen, Fletcher Anlezark, Clay Edwards
Coach’s Final Say: “We have an inexperienced squad but also an enthusiastic squad. Myles Martin and Caleb Garvie, who have both made the NSW CCC squad, are our two guys we are relying on to take a lot of the workload. We will be strong through the middle, quick play the balls and work hard in those effort areas.”
FARRER MAHS
Coach: Ethan Sherlock
Captain: Will Woods
Past Cups: 0 (2019 Schoolboy Cup semi-finalists)
Current NRL Alumni: None
2022 Squad: Will Woods*, Oliver Sykes*, Jordan Whillock*, Will Kelly, Dusty Hagon, Joe Bartlett, Noah Hooley, Jordan Hamlin, Charlie Henderson*, Archie Wainwright*, Logan Spinks*, Will Milsom, Nate Follington*, Max Smith*, Nash Porter, Jack Hatton, Sebastian Sykes, Hayden Mitchell, Coben Battle, Bailey Lawrence, Harrison Thrift, Jai Tanna, Cooper Blinman, Ryan Marzato, Callum Cocking
Coach’s Final Say: “We have had a good pre-season, we started work in term one, and these boys also play all their club footy together. We have the same 13 playing in the Group 4 under-18s competition to keep that contuity there. It is a pretty young squad with only five boys in Year 12, but it is still a talented squad. They can discount us all they like, we embrace that challenge.”
HOLY CROSS COLLEGE
Coach: Tim White
Captain: Keenan Lawandos
Current NRL alumni: Mitchell Moses (Eels), Luke Brooks, Alex Seyfarth (Tigers), Esan Marsters (Titans), Junior Tatola (Rabbitohs), Bailey Sironen (Warriors)
2022 squad: Cameron Kanaan*, Jonah Watson, Max Braham*, Michael Gabrael*, Rory Davison, Carter Provan*, Malakai Latilevu, Kalani Mersua, Cooper Wheelhouse*, Andrew Mussillo*, Keenan Lowandos*, Angus Gray*, Jayden Jenkins, Mickey Nasser, Jaii Robertson, Jean Paul Kawtal, Darcy Fletcher, Grisham Malla, Sami Moala, Nick McMahon
Past Cups: 1 (1981; 5 x runners-up)
Coach’s final say: “Dealt a tough blow right at the end of pre-season with three key players including captain Keenan Lawandos ruled out with long-term injury. Our depth will certainly be tested early in the season. With a lack of pre-season due to the weather, it could provide a real hurdle. We will have to change our game plan a lot with two fresh halves on the field and one of our halves heading to hooker. Basically there will be limited coaching, it will be a case of go out there and just play footy.”
PATRICIAN BROTHERS, FAIRFIELD
Coach: Frank Pritchard
Captain: Josh Alhazim
Past Cups: 6 (1975, 1978, 1982, 1983, 1987, 1992)
Current NRL Alumni: Nathan Brown (Eels), Taniela Paseka (Sea Eagles), Marcelo Montoya (Warriors)
2022 squad list: Taj’h Colquohoun*, Billy Arena*, Sione Lolohea*, Zaidas Muagututia, Godfrey Illavalu*, Dionn Haratsaris*, Chad Daniels*, Jordan Miller*, Yehya Ayache*, Matt Alhazim*, Joshua Alhazim*, Jezaiah Funa-Iuta, Bailey Myers*, Massimo Mari*, Robertson Lepale, Kohan Adler*, Archie Riley*, Jack Leigh*, Alistair Wilson, Junior Fagalele, Jai Strudwick, Josh Villarosa, Abdoulaye Bah, Robert Uhatafe*, Noah Funa*
Coach’s Final Say: “Our preparation was disrupted by the wet weather, we have had a few hit outs now but we are trying to keep it simple. Our rugby league season is really full on, so we don’t want to burn the guys out. The school has a rich history in this competition, we have a rich history and culture of NRL players coming through. We have been the sleeping giants for the last couple of years, but I have been brought in to find a pathway back to the top.”
ST DOMINIC’S COLLEGE
Coach: Kyle Churchill
Captain: Liam Ison
Past Cups: 2003
Current NRL Alumni: Nathan Cleary (Panthers) Zac Cini (Tigers) Jordan Grant (Storm) Dallin Watene-Zelezniak (Warriors)

Coach’s Final Say: “We’ve got a hungry squad who are excited to be playing this year. We’re enjoying the fact that we’re going to be a lot more under the radar. I don’t think there’ll be much expectation on us and that’s something we are pretty excited about. We’re probably going to have a bit of shock value and we’re backing the way that we’re going to play is going to be a little different. I think Hills will be well and truly the team to beat.”
ST GREG’S COLLEGE
Coach: Tom Morrison
Captain: Charlie Guymer
Past Cups: 9 (1979, 1980, 1984, 1986, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1993, 2000)
Current NRL Alumni: Sam Williams (Raiders), James Tedesco (Roosters), Jack de Belin (Dragons), Adam Elliott, Joe Stimson (Bulldogs), Trent Peoples (Rabbitohs)
2022 squad list: Cody Parry*, Cooper Mangan, Charlie Guymer*, Oliver Kaluzyn, Lachlan Dooner, Paddy Cleary, Clancy Nott, Raiden Crowe*, Heath Mason*, Trae Fitzpatrick, Tyrell Adams, Harrison Quinn, Dylan Smith, Tom Fletcher*, Tom Fisher*, Ben Kelly, Bryce Catford-Potter, Jack Burrows, Lachlan Bush, Cooper Cross*, Zac Jones, Jayden Mallia, Zachary Wheeler
Coach’s Final Say: “We’ve got a bit of mix this year of year, we’ve got some year 12 boys who are in their second or third season of Schoolboys Cup but then we’ve also got a couple of year 10 boys getting their first run. I think Westfield and Patrician will be up there again this year. The boys are all very proud to be part of the squad and are even prioritising school footy over most other games at the moment.”
HUNTER SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL
Coach: Anthony Gleeson
Captain: Taimana Elers
Past Cups: 0 (2016 semi-finalists)
Current NRL Alumni: Phoenix Crossland, Chris Randall, Matt Croker, Pasami Saulo (Knights), Jesse Ramien (Sharks), Josh Jackson (Bulldogs), Tevita Pangai Jnr (Bulldogs)
2022 Squad List: Mason Forbes, Max Fines, Benji Keene–O’Keefe, Harrison Sams*, Zac Wilkes, Lauchlyn Spicer*, Brandon Thompson*, Beau Slade, Taimana Elers, Kade Youlten*, Jayden Harris, Jett Woodward, Jakob Bacon, Jett Robards-Hassall, Rylee Moses Kincaid, Royden Taape*, Patrick Slade, Kyle McDermott
Coach’s Final Say: “We have a young squad of players this year but many have been involved in the junior development teams from the Knights and Roosters. This year we’re looking to consolidate our position back in the Schoolboy Cup and develop players for coming seasons. I think the teams to beat will be Westfields and Blacktown Patrician Brothers.”
BASS HIGH
Coach: Jon Wilson
Captain: Jonathan Sua
Past Cups: 0 (6 x University Shield, 5 x Buckley Shield)
Current NRL alumni: Aaliyah Fasavalu, Raecene McGregor, Page McGregor and Sereana Naitokatoka (NRLW), Dale Finucane, Royce Hunt (Sharks), Isaac Lumelume (Bulldogs), Kane Bradley (Cowboys), William Kei (Tigers)
2022 squad list: Charles Afeaki, Stephen Ben, William Ben, Jack Branda, Elijah Cinavou, Jye Daly, Lennox E’e, Bilal El Youssef, Isaia Elisara, Josiah Fifita, Hori Fua, Jerome Goddard, Anthony Haikal, Jone Kaitani, Simata Kioa, Apolosi Laiafi, Simione Laiafi, Calvin Levy, Dayshawn Lyden, Ayman Maarbani, Orlando Manase, Mithu Murray, Jarome Paremo, Kevin Pham, Jerome Rogers, Divine Saena, Ezekiel Saili, Fanafou Seve, Itula Seve, Tylah Slate, Michael Smith, Jonathan Sua, Maxwell Taotua, Mitchell Taotua, Sitiveni Taulanga, Isaac Thompson, Elijah Tu’ifua, Isaia Tu’ifua
Coach’s Final Say: “With our fields still underwater, it has been hard to give the players a proper preparation. We have only lost three players from last season so we have a squad who knows each other and knows its game. We’re trying to go away from just being tough through the middle, these days you have to be skilful with the ball or you won’t win the Cup. We are constantly trying to change up our game.”
