Pathways ASSRL 2026

It was a great grand final. Whilst CHS were firm favourites, CCC are gutsy with some exciting players. CHS jumped out and went to a big lead but CCC fought back and levelled up. Challenor kicked a long range field goal in final minutes, but he also made some crucial tackles, set up a try and got an important ball steal late in game. He again showed calmness under pressure and was awarded the player of the tournament and #7 jumper in Australian Schoolboys side.

Curran very strong again. He is a talent and also got a deserved green and gold jumper.

Wooldridge was really strong throughout off bench. I think he might have another year of school footy and if he does, look out next year.

Well done to our Sharks boys
 
I’ve felt this way about Challenor for a while. A lot of the young halves have flair and take a lot of risks. Challenor is still creative and skilled but plays calm.

It’s an interesting case in a rep trail. The individual flair gets players noticed but Challenor is the best at doing the little things that help the team win.

We all know that the teams don’t just get picked on how the players perform at this carnival though. The selectors have kids in mind before a ball is kicked. I could definitely see one/both of Harris-Tevita or Webb making the side on reputation. Webb possibly as a bench option because he has some utility value. Plays lock for Wavell and is quick enough to defend in the centres in a pinch.

I don’t know of any the Qld team but I know of players who were in the Qld state carnival this year who didn’t play any trials and were placed into their teams based on having an NRL contract or being in a QRL u17’s team.
Agree totally. A lot of people don’t realise how much he does to organise his side. He is an exceptional talent - he also makes players around him look and play better
