2022 Junior Reps Draws

Western Suburbs Magpies and Balmain Tigers will face each other in the opening round of the Harold Matthews and SG Ball competitions following the release of the 2022 junior representative draws.

The fixture is the first time in a decade that the two foundation clubs of Wests Tigers will meet in the season opener — setting the stage for what is expected to be a strong junior representative seasons right across the club.

With over 90 percent of the Balmain Harold Matthews squad comprising of local juniors, Coach Crotty will have an exciting roster in 2022 with a number of young players ready to make the step up. Over 65 percent of the players in both squads will return from the respective Balmain Harold Matthews and SG Ball teams from 2021, with several new recruits set to shine in the SG Ball side.

Wests Harold Matthews squad has eight local players returning to play from last year's squad, while several key members of the 2021 Andrew Johns Cup squad (who trained part-time with the Magpies) will be promoted into the squad full-time. 2021 NSW Merit members and local juniors Aaron Keppie and Luke Laulilii also join the squad — making 93% of the Harold Matthews side made up of local juniors.

A number of key members of the 2021 Laurie Daley Cup squad will transition to the 2022 SG Ball squad this year with Queensland signings Keenen Tempest, Herman Tofaeono and Junior Taungatua boosting the team for the new campaign.
