The team lists are in for Round 9 of the 2025 Harrigan Cup. Team List Tuesday, brought to you by Elastoplast
Collegians coach Jimmy Grehan has named the same line up that was due to face De La Salle before last week’s forfeit. They will take on a Dapto side full of confidence after the Canaries gritty 26-18 win over Thirroul last week.
Collies ran away with their Round 4 encounter, scoring eight tries to three in their 46-14 victory, but they will need to be on their guard against a vastly improved Canaries outfit who appear to be getting close to full strength.

Wests will be looking to bounce back from their shock loss to Corrimal last week. In an uncharacteristic display, the defending premiers, who had won five games on the trot, let a 14-6 lead slip away as the Cougars scored four unanswered tries late in the second half.
De La Salle will also be looking to regroup after forfeiting last week’s match to Collegians, citing a mounting injury toll and losing players to feeder clubs the Newtown Jets and Cronulla Sharks. This followed a big loss to Dapto in Round 7.
De La Salle coach Corey Hughes is expected to have several players back this week, naming Elijah Paea and Kurt Montgomery from the Sharks Jersey Flegg, and Kobie Wilson who is returning from Jets duty.
The Shire outfit is holding down fourth spot with a 3-5 win/loss record and two points ahead of fifth-placed Thirroul. The Devils won their last encounter, 12-0, after a scoreless first half at Sharks Stadium.

A big crowd is anticipated at Ziems Park on Sunday as Corrimal makes its return to home turf following an impressive victory over competition heavyweights, Wests, last week. Cougars coach Sean Tabet has the task of bringing his charges back-to-earth after last week’s big win.
They’ll be facing a Butchers outfit eager for redemption after losing to Dapto. The Cougars went close to causing an upset over their more fancied rivals in the last ‘Battle of the Beaches’ encounter, taking it down to the wire 18-12 in Round 4 at Gibson Park.
In selection news, Tabet has the luxury of regular starters Kai Raper and Jacob Karam returning at fullback and prop. Braith Plecas reverts from hooker to lock making way for the return of Bailey Cantrill.
Thirroul has been bolstered by the inclusion of captain Hayden Crosland, who missed last week’s loss to the Canaries, with Sione Afemui shifting to the interchange bench.
