Your boy Onitoni Large dominating this morning at the carnival @Magpie Spock @Eternal Tiger
Plus his younger brother & Makasina mentioned in the wrap. Sign em all up long term 👍
U15 - NSW Combined Independent Schools 22 drew with Qld White 22
NSW Combined Independent Schools’ Onitoni Large produced a five-star performance while Queensland five-eight Ellyjah Birve displayed nerves of steel as NSW CIS and Queensland White played out a thriller.
Queensland came back from the dead to score two tries in the last three minutes, with Te Iri Rudolph-Mokaraka (TSS) reaching out to cross seconds from the end.
That left Caloundra SHS’s Birve to kick the conversion midway between the sideline and posts, and it never looked like missing.
Large and his brother Ashton, the official NSW man of the match, were elite in producing several clutch plays to crack open a tight clash.
No.6 Onitoni had a hand three tries, then broke the game open with a long striding, gliding performance to score.
Queensland White, with No.13 Zac Bateman the glue of the side, were close, very close to winning, recovering from deficits of 10-0 and then 22-10 to push hard for victory.
There were plenty of thrills and spills, including when NSW Combined Independent Schools winger Reilly Caswell ran 70m to score 12 minutes from fulltime.
With his legs working like pistons, Caswell roared down field to score under the posts.
It was an entertaining affair, with Queensland (White) nearly scoring twice before NSW Combined Independent Schools bounced back with successive tries to lead 10-0.
Then Queensland halfback Dallas Ingram out flanked the defence to score, and with Birve’s wideout conversion, it was 10-6 at the break.
Queensland then struck first blood in the second half to make it 10-all, with Luke Jones (PBC SHS) finishing a succession of battering ram efforts to squeeze over in the corner.
Earlier, Bowen’s Eneliko Savelio drew the battle lines with a bruising early hit that shook the ground, but there was no defending NSW left centre Heamasi Makasini moments later when he blasted through to create a try for his winger Caswell.
The NSW Combined Independent Schools had early opened the scoring when fullback Callum Grantham found a narrow channel to the line after a clever inside ball.
This after Queensland had started the better, with a right side run from Canterbury-signed edge Daquan Talaepa shredding the first line of defence, and then a cross field kick creating a chance which was denied due to an off-side chase.
Queensland then had another half chance when centre Jake Carsburg went close, but Combined Independent Schools winger Brooklyn Heath tackled him short.

The team (NSWCCC) with Jordan Miller, Heath Mason and Tom Fisher won a tight one this morning by the looks of it...74 to nil.
All our other NSW 18's reps should be playing now.

Awesome to see the club do stuff like this for the juniors. Definitely starting to see improvements in the way our Pathways are run. Let's hope that doing all of this helps those few guns that end up making it want to stick around the club.“We want it to be aspirational for our local juniors.

The Under 16s will pretty much be the best of our future Harold Matthews players for 2023 you would think.
He’s played in my younger brother’s comp for years so I’ve seen a lot of him.
Genuine freak, rips teams apart single-handedly all the time.
Club rates him and his younger brother extremely highly, he’s only 15, so he’ll play his first year of Harold Matts for Wests in 2023.

It makes you wonder why we haven't been doing things like this with our juniors for the last 23 years.
Looks like we are heading in the right direction for once.
I doubt it. The Harold Matt’s is an under 17’s comp. I was curious who this team would be also. Potentially it’s a team formed from the Wests Tigers Academy kids or the GF playing Andrew Johns cup team.

Yeah the age of Harold Matthews was my point...with it being an Under 17s comp, these guys who are representing the Under 16s this year will be one year older and in the right age for Harold Matthews in 2023.
It won't be current Harold Matthews (a lot just went to NZ and are mostly older), but the next crop of kids as you said coming through the Academy and Andrew Johns Cup.

Bit of a showdown in the Schoolboys Semi today...Miller, Mason and Fisher up against Lauilili, Saukuru and Da Silva.
Then in the other game, Faagutu against Alex Conti and Lipina Ata.
Apparently Alex Isdale was man of the match in the Under 15s match yesterday too. We must have pinched him from Parra....I read some stuff thay he was contracted there, but the club released his name as one of our players representing.
Hopefully we have some talent scouts out and about at the carnival to see any other exceptional talents worth approaching in the coming years (even if they are currently under contract).

Laulili, Saukuru and Da Silva get bragging rights. 30 to 8 win and NSW CHS into the GF. Jordan Miller chosen as player of the match for his team though which is good to see!
