SG Ball

Canberra Raiders V Balmain Tigers
Saturday April 6, 5:45pm
HE Laybutt Sporting Complex

Canberra Raiders
1. Manase Kaho 2. Aidan Gaffey 21. Thomas Croker 22. Junior Tupou 5. Cooper O'Connor 6. Brayden Robertson 7. Jordan Williams 8. James Atonio 9. Mitchel Souter 10. Ata Mariota 11. Clay Webb 12. Jackson Owen 13. Jack Colovatti

17. Bradley Buckley 18. Jack Williams 19. Bryce Magnone 20. Mika Taleo 23. Livai Kaloutolu 24. Simote Sitauti 25. Jacob Lucas 26. Kane Smith

Balmain Tigers
1. Josh Rizk 2. Samuel Karwhin 3. Oskar Enasio 4. Samuel Kanaan 5. Edwyne Afeaki 6. Hayden Essery 7. Cooper Wood 8. Callum Ellis 9. Jake Kusto 10. Braydon Guyan 11. Zayn Wilkins 12. Henry O'kane 13. Daniel Sykes

14. Jason Smyth 15. Darcy Hoy 16. Blake Layton 17. Harley Sanchez 18. Stylez O'Mara 19. Irie Brosnahan-Papuni 20. Thomas Kwok 21. Flynn Angles-Corke

AT A GLANCE: The Canberra Raiders SG Ball team qualified for the finals in sixth place, and now take on the seventh placed Balmain Tigers, in week one of the finals.

Last weekend at Seiffert Oval, the Raiders had the opportunity to jump over the first placed Illawarra Steelers, but they just fell short, going down 28-22. The Raiders started the match on fire, producing a terrific team try for fullback Manese Kaho in just the second minute. However, the Steelers then piled on four tries of their own, with halfback Jayden Sullivan in the thick of the action. That gave the visitors a 24-4 lead after just 25 minutes. Canberra hit back with two tries - to second rower Jack Williams and a second to Manese Kaho - and a penalty goal inside the final six minutes of the first half... so they trailed 24-16 at the break.

The Raiders continued their comeback 10 minutes into the second half, with a converted try to centre Junior Tupou, reducing the deficit to only two points. A four pointer to Steelers five eighth Talatau Amone stretched Illawarra's lead to 28-22 just five minutes later. But while the Raiders unleashed the attack in the final stages, seriously threatening to cross the line on more than one occasion, they could not breach that six point gap.

The Canberra Raiders met their Finals Week 1 opponents, the Balmain Tigers in Round 2 at Kippax, in very hot conditions. The Raiders led at half time, 16-8, but the Tigers scored six unanswered tries in the second half, to run out 44-16 winners. It was the clearly the Raiders' worst defeat of the regular season. But it is also the case that the team's form has been on an upward trend since that time.

The Raiders recorded a 5 and 3 record in the regular season, while the Tigers won four, drew one and lost three. The Raiders have a very slightly better attacking record than the Tigers, averaging 29 points per match (28 for the Tigers). The two teams have an identical defensive record, conceding an average of 19 points per game. Last weekend the Tigers were beaten 42-14 at Leichhardt Oval by the Central Coast Roosters, a team that finished third on the ladder. The Tigers have a WWLWL record in their past five games, while the Raiders have a LWWWL form line.

The Round 2 result is a concern for the Green Machine, but two months have passed since then, and the Raiders have produced some good form. Clearly there is not much between the record of the two teams overall. We'll tip the Raiders will progress to week two.

Tarsha Gale Cup

Canberra Raiders V Parramatta Eels
Saturday April 6, 4:30pm
HE Laybutt Sporting Complex

Canberra Raiders
15. Taysha-lee Campbell 3. Gabbie Davis 1. Madyson Tooth 2. Klaudia Osztrenkovics 14. Shanae Pope 7. Samantha Small 8. Tara Mcgrath-west 9. Krystyana Haridemos 21. Jada Olsen-flanagan 4. Ashley Carter 17. Grace Martin 10. Carly Wilkin 12. Samantha Clegg 13. Sydney Harrison 20. Taylah Johnston 5. Tarnayar Hinch 6. Krystal Blackwell 19. Vanessa Harris

Parramatta Eels
1. Anne Pati 2. Chelsea-lina Koomson 4. Allison Futialo 5. Izabella Epati 6. Jada Toevai 7. Kristen Cawthorne 11. Natalie Bainou 12. Tahlia Alexander 15. Martha Fua 24. Breeze E'e 25. Gardinia Faalogo 13. Jada Alexander 17. Shondell Akhabue 18. Pearl Mccarthy 19. Rebekah Faucette

AT A GLANCE: The eighth placed Canberra Raiders take on the fifth placed Parramatta Eels in Week 1 of the Tarsha Gale Cup finals. The Raiders suffered a 58-4 loss to the first placed Illawarra Steelers in Round 9, while the Eels were defeated 48-4 by the second placed Knights. However, the Raiders will likely find it tough going against Eels on Saturday. The Raiders booked just two wins in the regular season, against the Bulldogs and the Roosters Indigenous Academy - the two teams that missed the top eight. The Raiders' 2 and 7 record compares unfavourably with the 6 and 3 posted by the Eels. The Raiders have a negative points differential of 172, while the Eels finished on +54. Hopefully, however, the Green Machine can pull off a big upset!

***

Unfortunately, the Canberra Raiders finished 11th in Harold Matthews, winning two games and losing six. They lost in Round 9 to the fifth placed Illawarra Steelers, 30-16.

Hearing that the NSWRL has incorrectly tallied the points for and against in SG Ball, so the Raiders finish sixth, not fifth. So they meet the seventh placed Tigers. The Week 1 finals draw has changed on NSWRL.com.au, but not the ladder yet, or their announced list of finals.

Canberra Raiders V Central Coast Roosters
Friday April 19, 4:00pm, Kogarah Jubilee Oval

Canberra Raiders

1. Manase Kaho 2. Aidan Gaffey 21. Thomas Croker 22. Junior Tupou 5. Cooper O'Connor 6. Brayden Robertson 7. Jordan Williams 8. James Atonio 9. Mitchel Souter 10. Ata Mariota 11. Clay Webb 12. Jackson Owen 13. Jack Colovatti

17. Bradley Buckley 18. Jack Williams 19. Bryce Magnone 20. Mika Taleo 14. Jacob Lucas 15. Livai Kaloutolu 16. Simote Sitauti 23. Kane Smith

Central Coast Roosters

1. Sandon Smith 2. Adam Riding 3. Levi Kasun 4. Riley Stevenson 5. Luke Knight 6. Reece Piepers 7. Tommy Anderson 8. Cooper Page-wilson 9. Thomas Deakin 10. Jack Stringer 11. Oliver Clements 12. Riley Meyn 13. Ryan Jones

14. Zac Montgomery 15. Jeremiah Ratabua 19. Brae Verheyen 25. Sione Vaenuku 16. Harrison Packham 20. Darby Elton

AT A GLANCE: The Canberra Raiders face the Central Coast Roosters in Finals Week 2 of the SG Ball Cup.

In Week 1, the sixth placed Raiders eliminated the Balmain Tigers, with a 34-10 victory at Blacktown's HE Laybutt Field. Canberra had suffered a 44-16 loss to the Tigers in Round 2 of the regular season at Kippax, but well and truly turned the tables on Saturday. Canberra posted four tries to one in the first half, with Junior Tupou scoring a double, and Aidan Gaffey and Manase Kaho also chipping in with four pointers. The junior Green Machine built on the 22-4 half time lead in the second stanza - with two tries to Jack Williams in the space of three minutes. The Tigers also produced a converted try in the second half, but it was nowhere near enough.

The Raiders have not faced the Central Coast Roosters since 2017, when Canberra lost at Seiffert Oval 34-16. However, both teams now have a new crop of players.

The Central Coast finished the 2019 regular season in third place on the ladder, recording seven wins and two losses (Raiders 5 and 3). The Raiders had a slightly better attacking record than the Roosters, averaging 29 points per match (26 for the Central Coast). However the Roosters have the better defensive record, conceding 18 points per match (Raiders 23).

Last weekend the Central Coast was beaten 40-12 by the Illawarra Steelers at Wollongong Stadium. The Roosters had a six game winning streak between Rounds 2 and 7; they have a WWLWL record in their past five. The losses were to the Sea Eagles and the Steelers - the teams that finished first and second. The Raiders have a WWWLW recent form line, losing to the Steelers by six points in the final round of the regular season.

However, the Raiders pushed the Steelers all the way - and hopefully, the recent results of the two teams against Illawarra are a pointer for this clash. We'll go with the Green Machine to continue their finals march in this one.

***

Unfortunately, the Canberra Raiders bowed out of the Tarsha Gale Cup finals in Week 1, soundly beaten by the Parramatta Eels, 48-4 at Blacktown. The Raiders showed some good signs of improvement this season, but that result shows coach Matthew Corkery still has a way to go to build a competitive outfit.

Junior Representatives Preview: Finals Week Two

Raiders SG Ball coach Dean Souter said that he’s proud of what his team has accomplished in 2019, and will be hoping to continue the push further in the finals when they meet the Central Coast on Good Friday.

“They’re resilient guys,” said Souter. “We fell at this hurdle last year, but the resilience these guys show is second to none.”

Some fantastic talent on the NSW Central Coast. A great effort when many of the perceived top talents go to Manly or Newcastle.

Roosters have no local juniors but they have adopted the Central Coast and are pumping some decent resources into the area.

It appears the Raiders have signed brothers Caleb Esera and Prinston Esera...

NRL clubs raid Langer Cup talent

NRL clubs have swooped on Queensland’s elite Langer Cup competition to sign a swag of schoolboys. Among other Queenslanders heading souths were Wavell SHS foursome Tevita Toloi (Newcastle Knights), Caleb Esera (Canberra Raiders), Prinston Esera (Canberra Raiders)...

Langer Cup is a Queensland Schoolboys competition. Caleb Esera played Mal Meninga Cup (Under 18s) last year and he's featured in emerging Queensland junior squads. Looks to be a second rower. Prinston Esera is his slightly younger brother.

2019 Canberra Raiders juniors

Post by RTW »

Further to the story we have signed Caleb and Prinston ( his younger brother) both are currently at Wavell high school. Which is where we picked up Kyle Patterson (currently one of our development playersand playing hooker in Flegg) and Manase Kaho played SG ball this year.

Both Caleb and Prinston have been in and around the QLD school rep teams and QAS teams over the last couple of years.

Caleb is a bigger body and as stated plays in the back row but has had quite a number of injuries over the last couple of seasons.

Prinston plays in the centres and would be a lot faster then his brother. He is still young and is a bit laid back within regards to training in my opinion but definitely worth a shot.

Also the Langer cup is not a new competition ( it has been around in its current format for around 10 years) it is the precursor competition to the GIO schoolboys comp that allows teams in South east QLD to be ranked before going on to the knock out stages.

Just been watching the recent QLD State Champs, and Caleb is massive. Was very destructive on the edges. Good to see no sign of any injury (no strapping).

Wish him well for future prospects.

Is there a link to an on line stream?

Searching for one, I see the ASSRL championship (15s) starting tomorrow: http://websites.sportstg.com/assoc_page ... sID=414327 and there will be some live streams and others on replay.

And the 18s ASSRL championship - was aware of this one - is at Kippax starting 14 July: http://websites.sportstg.com/assoc_page ... sID=414326 and again there will be some live streams and replays.

Presume there's some Raiders juniors in both.

Yes, if you head to the Queensland School Sport 13-18yrs Rugby League Facebook Page, and scroll down to 23-36 May they will have games to watch for U18 QLD Champs.

U15 QLD Champs if you scroll down 2-5 May.
