NSWRL names NSW Under 19s Men's and Women's Origin teams

The NSWRL is pleased to announce the representative teams for the CABE NSW Under 19s Men and Westpac NSW Under 19s Women to face Queensland at Leichhardt Oval on Thursday 20 June.

The games showcase the best rising talent in Rugby League with the women’s match to kick-off at 5.45pm and the men’s match at 7.45pm. Both games will be shown by Fox League on Fox Sports, and 9Now, with the women's match also to be shown on 9Gem, and the men’s match on Channel Nine.

The CABE Under 19s Men’s team features players from the UNE SG Ball Cup (Under 19s) and SLE Laurie Daley Cup (Under 18s), and includes Canberra Raiders fullback Chevy Stewart, 18, and Penrith Panthers winger Jesse McLean, 19, who have already made their NRL debuts.

Stewart has played three games for the Green Machine in 2024, making his debut in the 21-20 win over the Gold Coast Titans in Round 6. He has also made seven appearances in the The Knock-On Effect NSW Cup where he has averaged 141m per game, and has scored three tries, had three try assists and two line breaks.

McLean made his NRL debut for the Panthers against the Parramatta Eels last year and made his second appearance this season in the Round 13 match against St George Illawarra Dragons where he scored a memorable try. He has also made 11 appearances in The Knock-On Effect NSW Cup where he has averaged 155m per game, and has scored eight tries, had nine line breaks and a try assist.

The team also includes Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs boom halfback Mitchell Woods, 18, who captained the UNE Harold Matthews Cup to a premiership win in 2023 and was named the UNE SG Ball Cup Player of the Series in 2024, and hooker Matthew Arthur, the son of former NRL Parramatta Eels coach Brad Arthur.

The Westpac NSW Under 19s Women’s team features players from the Westpac Tarsha Gale Cup and includes 10 players from the premiership-winning Illawarra Steelers, including Player of the Series and halfback Kasey Reh, the niece of former NRL players Brett and Glenn Stewart, and Indie Bostock, the sister of NRL Dolphins winger Jack Bostock. There are also three players from Grand Finalists Newcastle Knights.

Stewart played in the corresponding match last year along with forwards Jermaine McEwen (Newcastle Knights) and Sam Tuivaiti (Parramatta Eels) while the women’s squad has two players from the 2023 team – centre Linsday Tui (Parramatta Eels) and utility Evie Jones (Newcastle Knights).

The CABE NSW Under 19s Men’s team will be coached by True Blue Andrew Ryan, who guided them to consecutive wins in 2022-23. True Blues Shaun Timmins, Luke Bailey and Steve Turner form part of his coaching staff.

The Westpac NSW Under 19s Women’s team will be coached again by Kate Mullaly, who has previously acted as an assistant coach to Kylie Hilder for the Westpac NSW Sky Blues. The Westpac NSW Under 19s Women's team will be looking to return the Shield to NSW after a narrow 20-14 loss last year.
