Junior Reps: Round 2 Preview

The Lisa Fiaola Cup team will be wanting to turn their fortunes around after last week’s heavy loss to Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, and they get that chance against North Sydney Bears this weekend.

The Bears are coming off a big loss to Melbourne Storm last week, going down 50-4 at Seabrook Reserve.

Coach Luke Phillips has made several changes from last week’s game. Most notably, Ruby King starts at halfback with Izzy Milos dropping to the bench.

Tarsha Gale Cup (U/19 Women’s)

The Sea Eagles will be also hoping to bounce back strongly in the Tarsha Gale Cup after their loss to the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in Round 1.

It will be a good challenge for our Under 19s against a Bears team which is coming off a 36-22 win over the Melbourne Storm last week.

Harold Matthews Cup (U/17 Men’s)

After a solid start to the season with a win against Warriors in New Zealand, Coach Thomas Giles has gone with the same winning formula.

The Harold Matthews Cup team remain 1-18, with Will Tartonne, Marlee Thomas Noah Flakus and Harry Smythe added to the extended squad.

They face a North Sydney Bears outfit who have come off a gritty 20-18 win over the Melbourne Storm last weekend.

SG Ball Cup (U/19 Men’s)

The Sea Eagles SG Ball team is also out to back up their strong Round 1 performance with another good showing against the Bears this Saturday.

It was a huge performance across the ditch last weekend for Lachie Croker’s team against a Warriors outfit which many expect to be in the hunt for the title.

With Andes Johannsen playing in the NRL Pre-season Challenge, Oscar Crotty shifts from wing to centre.  Kobe Morris slots into five-eighth for Onitoni Large who is also in New Zealand with the NRL squad.

The Bears were beaten 34-12 by Melbourne Storm in Round 1.
