2025 Peter Mulholland Cup live stream: St Gregory's College v Hills Sports High
Don't miss out on the headlines from Rugby League Live Stream. Followed categories will be added to My News. When St Gregory's College coach Tom Morrison calls bullocking lock Lorima Cosgrave a Mack truck, he means it. He still has the tyre mark down his chest to prove it. Coming head-to-head with his young charge in a local seniors game, Morrison got a first hand insight of what other front rowers across the Peter Mulholland Cup have had to deal with this season. It is a raw power he wants to see again when the proud Campbelltown nursery hosts Hills Sports High on Tuesday. The clash will be exclusively live streamed FREE on KommunityTV.

'He played some games in the seniors for Campbelltown City and he scored a good try in the game against us. He made half a break and I came across thinking I could make a cover tackle on him. 'He stomped me into the turf and kept on running to the tryline. 'He is a classy player, but I keep trying to tell him he isn't a dummy-half anymore, he's a middle forward out and out.' The lock is one of several players in an undersized engine room which has continued to punch above its weight in 2025. Ryan Mackander in action for the Macarthur Tigers in the Laurie Daley Cup.

With two wins from two games, St Gregory's have already punched their ticket to the finals series, putting last year's anguish of missing play-offs by a mere two points on for-and-against. While the result of their contest against Hills Sports High doesn't matter in the grand scheme of the season, for Morrison a win is almost critical. 'We want to play well at our school and put on a show for the school,' he said. 'A lot of teams really enjoy their home field advantage, but we haven't had that in recent years. We have really struggled for results there, so we want to give them something to cheer.' It will be a final run out for Hills Sports High who are not able to qualify for the finals after losing their opening two matches of the season.

2025 NRL NSW Schoolgirls Cup: Central Coast Sports College v Westfields SHS
Don't miss out on the headlines from Rugby League Live Stream. Followed categories will be added to My News. After going down in last year's NRL NSW Schoolgirls Cup final, the goal for Central Coast Sports College is a very simple one – 'to go one better'. The 18-0 loss to Hills Sports High was a dour way to end what was a terrific 2024 campaign that saw them finish atop Pool A with a 4-2 record. And while there may be a new coach at the helm in Blake Austin, the return of the bulk of the squad – combined with a number of fresh faces – has Central in a strong spot to achieve that goal this season. It all begins with an opening round clash against Westfields SHS on Wednesday that will be available live and free on the screens of KommunityTV from 11.45am. Austin, who worked as an assistant last year, said the group had been clear on what they wanted to achieve since losing last year's final. 'There is an eagerness to get going,' Austin said. 'We've had a huge focus on just one or two tiny tweaks from last year. I've obviously been pretty blessed to inherit a team that I was involved with last year, they don't need too much extra work. It's just a few new ideas from what I've seen last year that I think can help us. 'We have spoken about all trying to go one step further this year so hopefully we can start that with a win on Wednesday.' 'We know that won't be easy though. One thing you can count on with schools like Westfield is they're going to bring a certain level of footy. They'll have a large chunk of players from the junior rep systems so we have to be at our best but we will put it all out there on the field and hopefully it'll be enough.' Austin named Ella Knowles, pictured here in last year's grand final, as a player fans can expect to see have a big impact this season. Picture: Warren Gannon Photography As a father of three girls, it's no surprise Austin is enjoying working in the female space. And while he believes a large portion of that is because of the talent involved in the program, it's also because of their attitude towards the game. 'I absolutely love being in the female space,' he said. 'It's a really rewarding space to be in. The girls are very honest and they enjoy feedback. They are getting so clever in terms of dissecting the game and it's such a privilege to help them do that. 'I've got three daughters myself so between that and working with these girls, it's teaching me a lot about life. 'Our stocks here at the college in the female space are pretty remarkable. We've got girls wanting to come into the rugby league space on the daily from other sports and that's terrific.'
