Junior Reps: Round 8 Preview

The team will be determined to respond after a tough loss to the Parramatta Eels last week, against the Dragons who sit just one place above them on the ladder.

Coach Luke Phillips has named a solid lineup as he looks to spark the side’s first win of the season.

Juliana Oldfield returns at fullback after overcoming HIA protocols, while Erin Krenmayr shifts into the centres and Indi Curr moves into the halves.

The Sea Eagles will be eager to break through for their first victory of the season with just two rounds remaining.

Tarsha Gale Cup (U/19 Women’s)

The Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles have just two more chances to secure a win this season. They take on the St. George Dragons at 11:30am this Sunday at Narrabeen.

The Sea Eagles will be looking to bounce back after a heavy 60-10 loss against the Parramatta Eels last week.

The Dragons will also be looking to turn their form around as they are also coming off a loss last week at the hands of the Rabbitohs.

Charlotte Long, Katie Andrews, and Jaydariah Mapusua all slot into the back five with Hiva Maher starting at halfback.

Dyshaen Pepe comes into the front row, Neveah Palu-Schaaf moves to the back row, and there are some changes on the bench as well.

Harold Matthews Cup (U/17 Men’s)

Manly’s Harold Matthews Cup side will also be looking to bounce back after a 20–10 loss to the Balmain Tigers last week.

They take on the 11th placed Dragons who sit two competition points behind them on the ladder.

Coach Tom Giles has made several changes to his lineup, resting star fullback Carlito Vesley and consistent performer Sam Clarke-Moar.

Cooper Eveleigh shifts from the wing to fullback, while Mitchell Peterson earns a promotion from the reserves into the five-eighth role.

Will Tartonne takes over at halfback, with Riley Carter moving to the bench.

Ryan Grigorian has been named to start at prop Bailey Coxsedge shifting to the bench.

With just two games remaining, a victory over the Dragons will see Manly climb back into the top eight.

SG Ball Cup (U/19 Men’s)

The Sea Eagles will be looking to make it three wins in a row this Sunday as they take on the St. George Dragons, who are currently sitting at 11th on the ladder.

The Dragons are coming off a frustrating 14-14 draw last week against the Rabbitohs at home in Wollongong.

They now come up against a Sea Eagles team which has had back to back victories over the Magpies and Tigers.

Coach Lachlan Croker has made a few changes to the lineup from last week with Quinn Timperon coming on to the wing for Andes Johannson, and Henry Troy shifting to centre.

Onitoni Large and Beau Alexander remain as the halves pairing. Matthew Payne and Sifa Oldfield return to the starting forward pack with Tamoko Berryman back on the bench.
