Chairmans Update Chairman’s Update After two weeks of washed-out Rugby League in the Shire, it’s great we can get back on the paddock this weekend.

After a great start to the 2024 season, on behalf of the CJRL board I am pleased to announce that open age representative Rugby League will return to the calendar this year when a CJRL representative team takes on Penrith JRL on Saturday 8 June. This match will be hosted by CJRL at Sutherland Oval, with a 3pm kick-off.

More announcements re the final squad and staff will be made in the coming weeks. All players in CJRL open gold teams are currently under consideration for selection in this squad.

I am also thrilled to announce that CJRL have eclipsed our 2023 participation record of around 5650, and we recently went past 6000 registered participants across all tackle and tag competitions. This reflects a wonderful commitment from all our clubs and volunteers who give so much to their clubs and the game in the Shire.

Our sincere thanks and congratulations to you all.

John Mannah Chairman – Cronulla Junior Rugby League

Congratulations to everyone involved at our CJRL clubs who enable this to happen with their efforts!

We have again set a new benchmark for CJRL registrations and they are still coming in.

Sharks Have A Heart Sharks Mental Fitness Round – Gotcha4Life Partnership In an initiative championed by Nicho Hynes, we have partnered with leading mental health organisation Gotcha4Life. Our Round 9 clash against the Dragons will be our inaugural Mental Fitness Round – this fixture will be a platform to raise the awareness around mental health and wellbeing, how to support and look out for each other and promote the great work and resources that Gotcha4Life can provide. The lead-up to the clash has featured a range of content pieces from Gotcha4Life founder Gus Worland as well as Nicho. The content ranges from candid interviews with both Gus and Nicho, featuring tips on how to look after your mental fitness as well as how you can support the mental fitness of those around you.

The Cronulla JRL also recently held a Mental Fitness Round at the Super Saturday event, where mental health awareness and support was promoted.

Southern Corridor Competitions Our CJRL teams competing in Southern Corridor competitions in male and female under 18s and open women’s started their season recently.

In a recent development, it has been agreed by all districts that three teams from the u18 girls tackle competition in the Macarthur League, will join the nine current teams from the Southern Corridor competition for the 2024 season, after completion of Round 3. Day of play will remain as Saturday.

Following Round 6 of the competition, a re-grading will be conducted to form Gold and Silver competitions.

Round 4 games in the competition this Saturday include Engadine v Como-Jannali at Anzac Oval and Cronulla-Caringbah v De La Salle at Cronulla High school.

In the Southern Corridor u18 boys competition Bosco Bulldogs host Corrimal Cougars on Sunday, and Aquinas host Thirroul at Sutherland Oval on Sunday, whilst in the u18 silver competition Taren Point host Hurstville on Sunday, and Aquinas travel to the Illawarra to take on Port Kembla/Dapto on Saturday.

In the open women’s competition Como-Jannali travel to take on Collegians on Saturday, whilst Taren Point are also away to Penshurst.

Bosco attack the Aquinas defensive line during the 2023 U17 gold grand final. The Bulldogs extracted some revenge in Round 1 to start their 2024 u18 gold campaign.

That all changed on Saturday 27 April when the girls overcame Engadine to grab their first win, and didn’t they celebrate!!!

Thanks to the great support of Sharks Kareela, our “Player of the Week” award is from the Power Waste Management Open Gold Como-Jannali v Engadine match match, Como-Jannali #10 Ryan Archer.

Congratulations Ryan!

Team Liaison Officer  Each team must provide a “Team Liaison Officer” (TLO) who will act as a contact point for the Ground Manager during fixtures at CJRL venues. Should supporters /spectators from either club behave in a manner that would previously been dealt with by the Ground Manager, from this point the Ground Manager will engage the relevant Team Liaison Officer to address this issue with the spectators involved.  The Ground Manager at each venue will hold two Hi-Vis Pink vests that each Team Liaison Officer will be required to wear during the course of the match so they can be easily identified. The TLO is to make themselves known to the Ground Manager prior to the start of the match, and names of each TLO recorded on match sheets.  The Team Liaison Officer will be required to remain near the bench area for his or her team during the match, but remain outside the roped/fenced playing area.  Ground Managers and Team Liaison Officers shall not be permitted to drink alcohol prior to or whilst acting in these roles.  The Team Liaison Officer will be required to assist in resolving any situation that may occur relating to their teams’ spectators/supporters. ie: trying to calm the situation down before it escalates.  The Team Liaison Officer will work with and assist the Ground Manager. The Ground Manager still has the responsibility of maintaining control of spectators, interchange bench areas, and liaising with match officials, this is not the role of the Team Liaison Officer.  At the end of the match the Hi-Vis Pink vest is to be handed back to the Ground Manager (not left on the interchange bench or on the ground).  The Team Liaison Officer (as per the Ground Manager) should be a person capable of maintaining a calm demeanour and be a minimum of 18 years of age. Ideally the TLO would be someone closely aligned with the team but cannot be carrying out an accredited match day role (coach, trainer etc).

NO MATCH IS TO COMMENCE WITHOUT EACH TEAM LIAISON OFFICER BEING IN PLACE ALONG WITH THE GROUND MANAGER.
