2025 Peter Mulholland Cup live stream: Hunter SHS v Hallam SC, finals play-in
Don't miss out on the headlines from Rugby League Live Stream. Followed categories will be added to My News. For some it will be the first time they've hopped on a plane, as Hunter Sports High plans a hit and run mission to keep its Peter Mulholland Cup dream alive. The boys from Newcastle have booked their spot in the play-in and face off with Storm Cup winners Hallam Senior College for the eighth and final spot in the finals. The annual play-in clash will be exclusively live streamed for free on KommunityTV at 12pm, Thursday. Hunter Sports High coach Tony Gleeson said his team can't wait for the chance to experience road footy in Victoria to try and extend its season. 'They're all really excited. Some haven't been on a plane before and now they're going down to Melbourne to have a run,' he said. 'It's a bonding experience when you're away overnight. You have to plan the trip well. We'll have a little training run when we get down there. 'Even getting together for a meal. There's really good positives we can take out of the whole experience.' Storm prop Phoenix Woods has been massive for Hallam Senior College in its undefeated run to the Peter Mulholland Cup play-in final. Hunter booked its spot in this fixture after a dramatic conclusion to its game against last year's PMC grand finalists, the undefeated Endeavour Sports High. In the final minute, Archie McIlwain scored the try that sealed a draw 'Endeavour was undoubtedly the form-team in our pool. After we were given a lesson by Farrer, it was a really good turnaround,' he said. 'The boys didn't dwell on the loss. They played not only good footy, but tough and desperate footy. It was great to see that resilience. 'The number one thing (for Hallam) is to prepare for ourselves and our best brand of footy. We've built the Hunter Sports way of playing and have had a bit of success with these boys winning the University Shield last year.' Knights SG Ball fullback and Australian Schoolboy Toby Winter will make his return for Hunter Sports High. They'll receive a huge boost with the addition of Australian Schoolboy Toby Winter and Country U18s representative Jaylan Bishop back in the side. Hallam created a slice of competition history when they defeated Patrician Brothers Fairfield in last year's play-in clash to book their spot in the PMC quarter-finals. The undefeated Victorian giants, scored a combined 266 points in six games this season including last week's 30-point triumph over rivals The Grange in the Storm Cup decider. Hallam pack serious punch up front with a forward pack led by Storm young guns Phoenix Woods and Alipate Vaka, while dynamic stars Waka Hammond and Micah Warena work off the back of their forward momentum. 'Hallam is a big side,' Gleeson said. 'They're certainly very strong and they'll be hard to beat. '(In saying that) we've got a strong pack of forwards from the front row through to the back row.'

Peter Mulholland Cup live stream: Westfields Sports High v Central Coast Sports College
Don't miss out on the headlines from Rugby League Live Stream. Followed categories will be added to My News. Carter Mareko to Isaac Fotu-Moala to Dayne Jennings. Rinse and repeat. The Central Coast Sports College trio were first class as they led a first-half demolition of Westfields to book their spot in the Peter Mulholland Cup finals. The trio combined to help set up or score five tries in the first half, as Central Coast stormed their way to a 42-10 win at McCredie Oval. CHECK OUT THE FULL MATCH REPLAY ABOVE It was a simple gameplan that was executed to perfection and that will haunt Jason Demetriou's players at Westfields Sports High as they spend the next year wondering just what happened. Fotu-Moala opened the scoring inside three minutes after supporting a Jennings line break back through the middle. The slick five-eighth did it twice more in the first half, with Mareko and Jennings taking turns setting him up with their sharp footwork beating the front line. Fotu-Moala's first half hat-trick was separated by a double to flying winger Corbin Devaney who made little mistake on the end of almost carbon copy inside work from the school's star trio. It was a first half blitz with Central Coast scoring 32-unanswered points before the break. Westfields will take plenty away from their second half performance, with the injection of utility back Cooper Carr sparking the fight from the western Sydney nursery. Hayden Bell tried his heart out at dummy-half while skipper Zain Alameddine had a hand in both of the school's second half tries. With the win Central Coast move to second in Pool D with a 2-1 record, progressing to the finals for the second-straight season along with pool leaders St Gregory's College. Westfields, who have now missed the finals two years in a row, will have to wait for next year's Peter Mulholland Cup to make their mark on the NRL Schoolboys Cup. It's not the end of the action though, with several of the school's top stars heading away with the NSW CHS side next month at the ASSRL National Championships. PREVIEW Everything is on the line as Westfields Sports High and Central Coast Sports College go to battle in round three of the Peter Mulholland Cup. A spot in the quarter-finals awaits the winner, while the loser has to wait another 12 months for their shot at glory. The match will be exclusively live streamed on KommunityTV from 12pm Thursday. It wasn't always the case for WSHS to find itself in this position, when they trailed by 14 against Hills Sports High with a little over 10 minutes to play. From that point on their season changed, finishing with a flourish to keep them on track to advance to the next stage. 'I felt we looked a lot more cohesive in our second game,' Westfields coach Jason Demetriou said. 'We still have to tidy up some of our discipline, but there were some exciting signs. We come into this third game with a bit more fluency and are looking forward to the challenge.' Demetriou praised the way his troops were able to stick with it, not being disheartened by the scoreline and finding a way to claw out a win. 'I was really impressed with our resilience,' he said. 'To go almost the length (to win the game) with all our key players touching the ball, it was an impressive way to seal the game. 'Zain (Alameddine) was outstanding for us. In key moments he wanted the ball in his hands and when you have your captain wanting the ball like that, it's a good sign. 'Hayden Bell control the ruck really well and I thought our middles were really strong. Every player contributed.' He knows the task that awaits his side against a strong Central Coast outfit, but hopes they can take their upwards trajectory into the most important game of the season to date. 'For us it's to take the lessons (out of those first two games),' he said. 'I want us to take some confidence out of it too. Being able to get our senior players together at training has made a massive difference and the back up in a week helps. 'We're getting better every week.'

2025 Peter Mulholland Cup live stream: St Gregory's College v Hills Sports High
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 is a Mack truck, once he gets going he is very hard to knock off centre,' Morrison said. '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. Front rower Ryan Mackander has been phenomenal for the school, while Jake Gaffney has shown he isn't afraid to hold the gloves up against bigger opposition packs. 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 Peter Mulholland Cup live stream: Erindale College v St Dominic's College, Round 2
Don't miss out on the headlines from Rugby League Live Stream. Followed categories will be added to My News. 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. Action from the St Dominic's College (Blue) v Bass Hill HS in round 1 of the Peter Mulholland Cup. Picture: Tim Hunter. '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.'
