2025 Peter Mulholland Cup live stream: Erindale College v St Dominic's College, Round 2
While a comfortable round 1 victory caught the eyes of many, Erindale College coach Jordan Macey knows his side can't rest on just one performance.
The 42-10 win over Illawarra Sports High School stamped Erindale as an early Peter Mulholland Cup title contender, with another win over St Dominic's on Wednesday a chance to further enhance their premiership credentials.
The round 2 matchup will be available live and exclusive on KommunityTV from 12.45pm.
'We are all pretty pumped to get back on the field,' Macey said of Wednesday's game.
'It was a good win first up but there's a few areas we want to improve on because St. Dominic's are a very good team, so it's going to be a good challenge.'
While stopping short of delving into the key areas of improvement spoken about behind closed doors, Macey was hoping they would also be able to replicate a lot of what worked against Illawarra.

'We're definitely not the biggest side in the competition, so we're just going to have to work really hard in the method areas and just staying connected as a group,' he said.
'I think we stuck to the game plan (against Illawarra), which was really good. And we are probably going to have to do that again to beat St. Dominic's.
'They've got a good team and they've got a good connection. I guess they all play a lot in that (Penrith) Panther system and they've got some really good individual players as well that we've identified and just have to make sure we do a good job on.'

Just a week out from a parliamentary deadline, both Labor and Greens sticking to their guns
During every AFL trade week, there are a couple of deals that go down to the wire. One club boss insists their player is so skilled that there's no way they'll be traded, at least unless they get a bounty of draft picks or some good players in exchange. The other club boss says they value the player but can't pay the king's ransom being demanded. Occasionally, the gulf between the teams is so great that no deal can be struck. Other times, one club caves and pays too much, or accepts below-market value for their prized player. But mostly, after weeks of posturing and chest beating, both clubs agree to meet somewhere in the middle, usually right before the trade deadline. Tasmanian politics is in its own trade week era — and at the moment, the protracted negotiations are between Labor and the Greens. Labor needs the Greens to agree to their motion of no-confidence in Premier Jeremy Rockliff's government, and provide confidence in a Labor minority government. In return, the Greens want Labor to throw some policy concessions their way. Maybe start with matching the Liberals' ban on greyhound racing and go from there. So far, there has been the same amount of bluster you'd expect from AFL trade week. Labor insists it won't do a deal with the Greens, it won't compromise on its values and doesn't expect those it is negotiating with to do so either. But if it forms government, it will consider each idea for policy change on its merits, through a "sensible policy framework". Labor has mostly opted for the "greater good" argument — that the mostly progressive crossbench would be better off under a Labor Party that independents and Greens share some core values with, such as integrity, fixing the budget, health and housing. It's asking whether the crossbench really wants to leave the Liberals, and new Treasurer Eric Abetz, in charge of the state's finances. Especially when it could have Labor and its would-be treasurer, respected independent MLC Ruth Forrest. And whether the Greens really want to trust a premier that it voted no-confidence in just two months ago. The Greens so far have told Labor Leader Dean Winter to buzz off, and to come back when he's serious. Greens Leader Rosalie Woodruff drew a big line in the sand on Tuesday. Unless Labor offers up more than it is at the moment, she said the Greens cannot support Mr Winter as premier. Dr Woodruff reeled off a range of policies she would like movement on: ditching the proposed Macquarie Point AFL stadium, stronger environmental laws, and increasing the royalties paid by the salmon and mining industries to repair the budget. And in a classic trade-week manoeuvre, she pointed out Labor's weakened bargaining hand — that the guy doing the negotiating failed to win a quota in his own right in the seat of Franklin, while his party suffered a 3.1 per cent swing against it. And that while Labor doesn't need every individual crossbencher on board, it cannot form government without the Greens. The Greens also have the benefit of time. They can reject Mr Winter's bid for power now, tell their supporters they've extracted a greyhound racing ban from a Liberal party that just a month ago was telling the industry how valued it was, and will consider a further no-confidence motion in Mr Rockliff if he doesn't do what he has promised or makes decisions that outrage them. They know Labor are likely to come back and want to form government if they're unsuccessful this time. But if the Greens vote for Mr Winter to become premier now, they know it will lead to a partnership that will be awfully hard to end. The Greens see they're giving Mr Winter a blank cheque to govern if they side with him this time. And Dr Woodruff continues to argue the party will not do that without claiming some prized assets in return. We're fairly and squarely in the chest-beating part of trade week. A week out from deadline, both parties are sticking to their guns. But which end scenario will play out on Tuesday when parliament resumes? Will the Greens and Labor remain so far apart that neither bends — and Mr Rockliff remains premier? Will Labor concede enough that the deal becomes palatable to the Greens? Or will the Greens decide that when push comes to shove, they would prefer the Labor Party in charge over Mr Rockliff? After all, Dr Woodruff used her election night speech to point out the Greens have much more in common with Labor than the Liberals. With five days until deadline day, there's still plenty to play out. And while the Greens have displayed a willingness to return to the negotiating table, Dr Woodruff put plenty of caveats on her lack of support, starting every sentence with a "for now", or "at this stage". The scene is set for a tense and highly anticipated return of the state parliament. And despite all the bluster, every possible scenario remains on the table.

Fallout from Mitch Moses spray at teammate exposes NRL ‘hypocrisy'
COMMENT Everyone will ultimately remember where they were when Mitch Moses verbally blasted Tallyn Da Silva. Mainly because whether you were in Parramatta or Paris, you were still close enough to be deluged in the spittle. Debate has simmered since Sunday over the Eels halfback's venomous tirade, with every man and his dog offering their take on where his rant fell on the intersectional graph between business and bile. FOX LEAGUE, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every game of every round in the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership, LIVE with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1. For those who missed it, Da Silva was dressed down by Moses on multiple occasions after a mosaic of rank decisions at CommBank Stadium that culminated in the dying stages with a dart on the fifth tackle that was held up over the line. With the game in the balance and tensions running high, Moses saved his best for last with a burst of language at the former Tiger so forceful it set off every car alarm inside the 25km blast radius. Was the halfback out of line for hammering Da Silva so furiously? Would his behaviour be tolerated in any other workplace? Or has rugby league gone fully vegan? The answer is simple. Moses' demon-possessed screed on Slanderous Sunday was not only bloody excellent, it was the most heartwarming use of the 'F' and 'C' words since Chris Heighington went full Gordon Ramsay after the 2005 grand final. Yet instead of celebrating Moses' touching gesture, there are still puritans standing under cold showers crossing themselves while righteously posting about the evils of his swears. So why was Moses spot on to give Da Silva the industrial blowtorch? Not only because the hooker endured a forgettable afternoon of shovelling up dung, but also because it finally returned to modern rugby league what it thought it had lost: a footballer who genuinely gives a toss. But instead of chairing Moses off like a Kaiser and shoving a mic in his face in the hope of a second burst, we've seen a fallout that has again exposed rugby league and its turgid hypocrisy. Not only is a cranky halfback a non-event in rugby league as commonplace as a training ground spat or a Craig Bellamy aneurysm, it's also something Parramatta players would be rigidly conditioned to after years playing with Clint Gutherson. But more importantly, Moses going off deluxe was a rare exhibition of raw passion in a game that has gone so milky you can get suspended for liking a post or wetting a ball. Think about it: we're always whinging about modern players being spoon-fed prodigies and soulless mercenaries lusting for the shiny penny. We hate how they'll switch allegiances in a heartbeat and laugh it up with the opposition at full time after copping a thrashing instead of stewing on it until they develop a stomach ulcer. So when we see a fighter like Moses hankering for victory with such drive that it manifests in a few naughty cuss words, we can't have our bake and eat it too. In simple terms, Moses is everything you want in a footballer: tough, street smart, and completely and utterly psychopathic. But he's not a bully consumed by malice or some kinda rogue employee, he's just a fearsome competitor whose only drawback is he needs a bib when he screams. This is a bloke who'd kill a coyote with his bare hands just to get a repeat set, a man solely responsible for Parramatta's bright late-season progress. And if he was on your team, you'd feel a burst of fire in your pantaloons that someone cared so much about two competition points in a lost season. If anything, the rest of the comp could learn a thing or two from Moses feeding Da Silva these chilli-infused home truths. Adam Reynolds is an affable chap, but maybe if he tore strips off Reece Walsh every once in a while he'd stop throwing so many forward passes? Imagine how proud Cowboys fans and Todd Payten would've been if Tom Dearden slagged off one of his many teammates slacking off again in their rudderless operation? Yes, Moses gets up people's noses. But anyone who thinks he's a negative influence on their kids obviously doesn't want their child to become an elite kick-ass competitor. And those claiming 'you wouldn't tolerate it in the workplace' have lost the plot too by comparing apples to oranges because they're lemon sour. Of course, this would never happen in your workplace — but that's only because you don't work in a job where you bust your gut in front of 15,000 people every weekend for a company that hasn't finished a job in almost 39 years. Sadly, this kinda hypocrisy in rugby league nowadays is like screen addiction, because it's automatic, almost unconscious, and full of RSI from so much finger wagging. These people would be better served directing their abuse at someone more relevant, like the trainers. Instead of berating Moses and demanding he spend time in the June Dally-Watkins Institute of Decorum, we should be celebrating the bloke for tackling adversity in a manner that doesn't involve demanding a release. — Dane Eldridge is a warped cynic yearning for the glory days of rugby league, a time when the sponges were magic and the Mondays were mad. He's never strapped on a boot in his life, and as such, should be taken with a grain of salt.
