Illawarra Sports High
Captain: Mason Andrews

2025 finish: =15th

TOP PROSPECTS
Steelers SG Ball lock forward Mason Andrews will captain the Illawarra Sports High side and will lead by his actions. Luka Halangahu, the younger brother of Dragons NRL forward Jacob Halangahu, is a robust middle forward with great energy in attack and defence. Former NSW Combined Catholic Colleges representative outside back Cooper Morrison joins the ISH program this year. He was one of the Steelers best in the SG Ball Cup.

WHO STEPS UP IN 2026
After spending a year on the sidelines, Noah Fitzgerald will step back up into the chief playmaking roll for ISH. He is set for a big year leading the team around the park.

WHAT TO EXPECT
While they struggled to make a lot of inroads last year,. the schoolboys program has had a complete overhaul in recent years including new coaching staff, a revamped squad and new style of play. The school has the talent to compete, although they are in arguably the toughest pool in the competition.

The boys take on St Gregory's on Thursday at Collegians 1;30 kick off

Illawarra sports are the biggest underperformers I can think of in schoolboy rugby league, their due a good season

Most of thse boys are in 17s but a few in 19s? Kind of a mix up, Mace scofield had signed with panthers but I guess still at the school.

The boys ground out a good win
Caned 11-4 in penalties
Greg's tries came on the back of sin bin and penalty amd back to back penalties.

Cooper scored a nice try, Destin with his standard barge try amd PJ got the 3rd.

We have Endeavour and Westfield as the other teams in the pool. We are in with a big chance against both.

Sounds like Grant Atkins Junior was the ref

 

[Mailroomsgi]

Just seen the Cooper Morrison try from today, he’s got something about him aye

Like the way he moves, looks hard to get a hold of

 

[Mug Fan]

This is what we need more of at the Club.
Support from the top to all our pathways.
It all adds up.

not sure about Kade's fashion sense, but love the effort.
