Last Saturday, the Junior Sharks took to the field for their final trial games ahead of the highly anticipated junior representative season, which begins on February 1st. Despite wild weather in the days leading up to the event, the rain and wind largely cleared, allowing the Sharks to complete their crucial final hit-outs at the Sharks Academy.
The day began with the Lisa Fiaola Sharks facing the North Sydney Bears before a strong showing from the Tarsha Gale Sharks, who impressed against the Canberra Raiders. The boys' teams—the Harold Matthews Cup and SG Ball squads—rounded out the day with spirited performances against the Bulldogs.
Across all matches, there were plenty of positive signs for the Sharks. Players displayed skill, determination, and teamwork despite frequent rotations as selectors look to finalise the starting lineups for the all-important opening round. The depth and talent within the Sharks’ junior ranks were on full display, promising an exciting season ahead.
The Sharks will kick off their 2025 NSWRL junior representative campaign with away games against the Panthers in Round 1 at H.E. Laybutt Sporting Complex. All four Sharks teams will be in action, hoping for a strong start to their seasons.
The Sharks Pathways coordinators and coaches are confident that the preparation and dedication shown throughout the trials will translate to success on the field.
We wish the entire Sharks Junior Representative teams all the very best for the season ahead. Go Sharks! #UpUp
