The 2025 NSWRL Junior Representative Draw has been released, with the Illawarra Steelers receiving four home games, including a Round 6 blockbuster at WIN Stadium, which will see all four teams play back-to-back.
Steelers fans will also be able to watch all four teams in action on the same day in Rounds One and Five at Collegians Sporting Complex.
The Lisa Fiaola Cup (U17 Girls) and Tarsha Gale Cup (Under 19 Girls) teams kick their season off with a local derby against the St George Dragons before Harold Matthews (U17 Boys) and SG Ball (U19 Boys) host Melbourne Storm.
SG Ball is the only side in action in Round Two, up against the Sea Eagles away, with byes scheduled for the remaining three teams.
Round Three sees the girls travel to the Bulldogs before taking on the Rabbitohs at the historic Redfern Oval in Round Four. Elsewhere, SG Ball and Harold Matts head to the nation’s capital for a dual with the Raiders before heading across the ditch to play the Warriors.
Brad Reh’s Lisa Fiaola Cup squad kicks off Round Five proceedings against Newcastle at home before the Tarsha Gale Cup grand final replay between the Steelers and Knights. In a hard act to follow, the boys then take on the Magpies.
Day Of Steel Returns in Round 6
Then all eyes turn to WIN Stadium for the ‘Day of Steel’ in Round 6 with the girls facing the Sharks and the boys squaring off against the Dragons, defending premiers in SG Ball.
Round Seven brings the final home game of the season for all but SG Ball, with the club hosting the Sea Eagles (Girls) and the Bears (Boys).
In Round Eight, the girls play the Eels away in both grades before taking on the Roosters in the final round.
Elsewhere, Jamie Szczerbanik’s Harold Matts team is away to the Roosters in Round Eight, while SG Ball hosts the Panthers at Mick Cronin Oval in Gerringong. The Boys will finish the regular season at Leichhardt Oval against the Tigers.
