Junior Reps Grand Final Teamlist | 3rd May, 2025
The NSWRL junior representative grand finals are set for Saturday, with teams officially named.
Notably, lock Luca-Bella Ngature-Ongley returns to the starting line-up after scoring the winning try in the semi-final against the Wests Tigers.
He missed the Preliminary Final against Illawarra due to suspension.
Consequently, Aliyah Nasio will move back to the bench, and Tyra Dymock is added to the extended bench.
Winger Fa'agase Tupuola-Palale, who was also sidelined due to injury in the semi-final, joins the extended bench as well.
Sydney Roosters S.G.
Ball Cup Coach Boyd Cordner has finalized his team for the grand final against minor premiers Parramatta at Leichhardt Oval.
There's one change from the team that defeated Canberra in the Preliminary Final; Peter Benjamin Uini will start at prop, with Itulu Seve shifting to the bench.
It's common for these selections to fluctuate just before the game, as the team is finalized an hour prior to kickoff.
Unfortunately, centre Lachlan Dooner (knee) and hooker Jaxson Allen (jaw), both recovering from injuries, have not been named for the grand final.
