Junior Reps 2022

I know? Tell no-one nothing or they’ll use it against ya was my thinking, now it’s a thing.
I tell my mrs “if I ever cry on tv she can face slap me as hard as she can” same goes for buying 3mins noodles.

Let me know who wins mate
 
Yeah I can’t watch that shite, someone sooking how tough their life was. I was dragged up through the gutter, old man was no good, and mum ditched me as soon as she had someone. Work ya shit out yourself, there always someone who has it tougher, so suck it up buttercup.
Now the mrs is completely different and although she was joking with me (coz I still luv Benji), calling him a cry baby, she also said Benji’s talk was good and respected him for what he said. She’s a better person than me but I’ve been learning from her. Changing yourself from an asshole is a slow process. I guess that’s my the mrs calls me Buttface.
Its a great nickname, very endearing. Nice post 👍🏼
 
So if he wins they make the show
She’s not sure, the challenge was a pitch to Stan and his pitch was best.
She watches 3x reality shows at the same time, Benji’s, the cooking, the house shite and those who done it shows like father brown. So I glaze over, if ya know what mean, and play with The Fonz, that’s me dog.

Some impressive Harold Matts performances in today's Westfields win in the Schoolboys Cup:


Westfields halves Lachlan Galvin and Blaize Talagi have sent a shockwave through the Peter Mulholland Cup, spearheading a dominant win over rivals Patrician Brothers Blacktown.
Any pre-game thought of Patrician Brothers success in recent meetings between the schools was obliterated at Bluebet Stadium as Westfields slick backline and barnstorming forward pack notched a half century in the 54-10 win.

It was billed as a heavyweight bout, but if it was in a ring, the towel would have been well and truly thrown by the end of the first half as Westfields dominated their arch-rivals.

It was the school’s representative players who stood tall tearing up the middle of the park and exploiting some lacklustre defence from the Patrician Brothers middles.

Da Silva scored a double backing up out of dummy-half while Talagi played a key role in most of the visitors four-pointers as they stormed out to a 22-point lead at halftime, before going on with the game after the break.

Fellow NSW CHS representative Solomone Saukuru showed why selectors have locked him in for the ASSRL National Championships in Redcliffe next week, leaving defenders in his wake with every charging run.

The backrower scored a barnstorming try in the first half and worked hard off the outside shoulder of impressive halfback Lachlan Galvin.

The Westfields Sports High left-edge proved near unstoppable in the opening half, breaking down their opposition with hard running and smart lines.

While Patrician Brothers showed signs of fight at the back end of the first half and even started the second on the front foot with a slick try to backrower Jordan Faleono, they couldn’t go with their hot-handed rivals who ran away with the contest.


A long-range try to fullback Luke Laulilii and sweeping backline play for winger Will Craig to dive across in the corner put the icing on a comprehensive performance

Westfields proved far too strong. Pic: Richard Dobson.

Good to hear Solomone in some form and causing havoc! Plenty of the boys getting a mention too. Galvin at Halfback? Must have some skills to play there, but in 2nd Row for Wests.

Awesome stuff.
4 of the Try Scorers and Kit Lauliti our captain of the HM side this year.
Long bow but to me this and those players are the start of our future right there.
They are in the same team in junior reps and go to the same school and represent.
This group needs to be our future first graders and we build around it. That’s why I joke about a premiership in 2032 but in reality those boys would be 27 odd by then and in their prime.

Question though, isn’t Westsfields in Parramatta’s catchment?

it'll be interesting to see where Galvin ends up long term. played in the back row for Matts but did a job at 5/8 when Mason was out and now playing halfback for Westfields. similar to Schuster in the sense that he can do both at a high level. I guess it'll ultimately depend on how his body develops and whether Mason and Keppie continue to progress.
 
As the Under 19s State of Origin approaches, The Inner Sanctum will be delivering player profiles, interviews and information about the New South Wales squad members. These relatively unknown players are the future stars of the next generation. First…Brandon Tumeth

The young second-rower has been a force in the forward pack and is one of two Wests Tigers pathways players in the New South Wales squad.

Playing for the Concord Burwood Wolves at junior level in the Balmain system, his skills have developed tremendously.

With Luciano Leilua leaving the Tigers for the Cowboys and Kelma Tuilagi leaving for Manly at the end of the year, the Tigers are hoping Tumeth can live up to his full potential.

Still only 19 years old, Tumeth will hope to impress in the encounter on Thursday with his contract coming to a close. This may be the one major chance he will have to secure a new contract with the Tigers.

Over the years the Wests Tigers have developed many great back-rowers. These players include Ava Seumanufagai, Simon Dwyer and Curtis Sironen. Could Tumeth be the next big thing to come out of Balmain?

What was the feeling like when you were selected into the New South Wales Under 19s Squad?

“It was pretty good. I wasn’t expecting it but it’s a good feeling.”

What players have you learnt the most from?

“Definitely players in my position, (you have) Luke Garner (and) Luciano Leilua. They (the Wests Tigers team) all taught me a lot and I probably look up to those two players. I say ‘help me’ as much as possible.”

Do you have any words of advice to kids growing up and wanting to represent their state in the future?

“It’s the things you do behind the scenes. Everyone can see you out on the field training and putting in the work out there. But, it’s the little things you do, sleeping well, getting your extras, eating well and all that.”
