SG Ball Match Preview - Raiders v Sharks

The Canberra Raiders SG Ball side travels up to Campbelltown Stadium on Saturday to take on the Cronulla Sharks in what is a do-or-die contest for the talented outfit.

Canberra was issued with a stern reality check by the Manly Sea Eagles in week one of the finals series last week, and there will be no second chances this time around for the Minor Premiers.

Coach Dean Souter has stressed the importance of starting the match strongly after going into the sheds down 22-6 at half-time last week.

Cooma juniors join Raiders development squad

Two rising rugby league stars are quickly making a name for themselves after a string of impressive performances for the Canberra Raiders under 16s development squad.

Cooma Colts star duo Carson Barrett and Jake Hedger were selected for the Raiders development squad ahead of hundreds of other boys in their age group.

On Saturday, May 9, they played their final trial game at Wagga Wagga and with a great deal of anticipation took on the Group 20 side. After a strong showing the Raiders came away with a win before losing to Group 9 in their second game.

Cotric is one to watch

This is one for Canberra fans, who I would encourage to tune into the GIO Schoolboy Cup game on Saturday that will be screened on Fox Sports.

In the Erindale College side is an extremely classy fullback, Nick Cotric, who last year represented NSW under 16s.

Erindale has produced some super players over the years. Cotric looks well above average to me.

That would be Nic...

[bonehead]

Fair wrap.

[greeneyed]

He was the best player in the team every week in junior reps this year.

[VictorTheViking]

First grade material GE?

[greeneyed]

Eventually, absolutely.

[VictorTheViking]

I was surprised given his wraps that we haven't seen him in 20s yet

[Shadow Boxer]

I don't think he's old enough.

Gun kid, didn't have great second effort stats last year but haven't seen him this year.

Only played one stinker last year and it was the game Ricky turned up to watch.

[Bay53]

Presumably he is talking about a game that has already been played.

From what I have seen Cotric is a class above. He is bottom age SG Ball so not eligible for Toyota Cup.

[Bay53]

For those that don't want to wait to watch on Fox Sports

[BigPapa]

Watching the match now he's a gun definitely one to keep an eye on for the future.

[Ultra raider]

Does anybody know when junior rep trails are on this year for the 2016 season

Kirwan High advances to national schoolboys grand final with 44-12 semi final win

NOT even the most fanatical of Kirwan State High School supporters could have predicted Kirwan’s 44-12 GIO Schoolboys national semi-final victory over Erindale College today.

But the wildest dreams of Kirwan’s open rugby league team became reality as they rolled Erindale eight tries to two to reach the national grand final for the first time.

Kirwan will play Patrician Brothers Blacktown in the decider in three weeks time, becoming the first North Queensland school to make it this far.

Jack Althaus, Julian Christian, Brendan Skinner and Duarne Dempsey also crossed the line for Kirwan, who led 12-6 at halftime before going into cruise control in the second stanza to seal the semi.
