Official Sharks SG Ball (U19) Team 2023

[BurgoShark]

SG Ball season begins next Saturday 4th February. Sharks take on Balmain Tigers in Round 1.

Full draw is here.

NSWRL are streaming one SG Ball game per round again.

The Sharks haven't released any information for junior reps or Flegg. Here is my best take based on training photos and last year's squad.

I'll update once team lists are announced next Tuesday.

Thought Siteni would play Flegg this year?

 

[bort]

Hard to tell with kids that age if they can kick on are just the big kids but does some good things. While not something he is likely to pull of the the NRL the shortside dummy half try at least shows some vision

Looking forward to seeing Tre Fotu.

He looks as good as his predecessor at high school.

Ronaldo. We need to get recruiting around there. Marsden win the schoolboys last year and there are future players on every street corner.

It's down Burgos way

Mabel Park are starting to look pretty good too. The Mabel v Marsden grade 12 game last year was a cracker.

I have a few of the grade 8 Mabel boys in my team.

Guessing @snowman is a massive Taj fan.

We don't know where he will play, or when (he is injured). He is born in 2004 though, so still eligible for SG Ball from an age PoV. Having an NRL contract doesn't preclude him from playing junior reps, but there are some rules around how many times a kid can play up in NSW Cup / NRL before coming back down.
