On behalf of the Board, management & staff of NRL WA I would like to welcome you all to Webber Reserve for the 2020 Smarter than Smoking Junior Grand Final Day. With the devastating impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, it has certain- ly been an unprecedented and unforgettable year for our WA Rugby League community, our nation, and indeed for the world in general. Given the challenges that we have all had to face over the past 6 months, it has been a remarkable feat to collectively navigate our way through the season and to be able to celebrate today’s finale here at the new look home of the Willagee Bears RLC. Our thanks to all the players, parents, guardians, administrators, coaches, referees and volunteers for all your patience, cooperation and determination in working with the NRL WA team to salvage such a successful, albeit challenging season. Our gratitude also to all of our loyal partners and sponsors that have stood by us, in par- ticular Healthway, the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries, Cash Converters, Consolidated Energy, All Flags Signs and Banners and Fleetwood/ISS. Likewise our appreciation to all the individual club sponsors for their invaluable support during difficult times. To all the teams competing today, congratulations on making it through to your respective Grand Finals. Play well, play fair, respect the officials, and enjoy the experience and the memories.

Firstly, Link as he is affectionately known, is a classic halfback. Talking the whole game, willing his team on verbally and mentally, he also possesses a deft kicking and passing game, which was central to North Beach’s movement game this year. He will need to bring all that for today’s matchup, with Austin. “Tutty”, at 12 years old, is already displaying the hallmarks of today’s prototype playmaker. Strong and fast, with the ability to break a game open by himself, North Beach will need to be awake the whole game and make sure they shut down arguably the most dangerous player on the field. GLT—Ellenbrook Rabbitohs vs Alkimos Tigers Rosie McGehan & Terri Reti In 2020 we welcome the Alkimos Tigers girls to the big dance for the first time. And they take on female powerhouse Ellenbrook in this one. The Rabbitohs are led by dynamic try scorer Rosie McGehan. Fast and with great footwork, raw still comes to mind when you watch Rosie, so it begs the question. How good could she really be? But the Tigers have some ballers as well, with young Terri Reti making a statement 2 weeks ago, scoring a double in this top of the table clash and proving the difference in the Tigers victory. Can she replicate that form and crash the Rabbitohs party? 13’s—South Perth Lions vs Fremantle Roosters Khan Pokere & William Blair A flashy footwork winger, and the player everyone in the U13’s says is “the guy”. Khan is at a new club, in a new position, and with a new coach. And wow has it worked. Whether he is going and looking for work in the middle or finishing moves off out wide, Khan has flourished for the Lions. Meet William Blair. Wow. Outside of the physical, he is as determined a player as you will ever meet. On both sides of the ball. Offence and De- fence, he gives 200% every run and every tackle. Limiting his input on this game will be one of the keys for this contest.
