Wattles Junior Rugby League, Clifton (2026)

02/09/2026

𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗧𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 | 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗧

When these blokes enter the game, the assignment is pretty simple.

Change it.

#𝟭𝟰 𝗝𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗘 𝗠𝗔𝗬
Sharp, quick and ready to inject himself wherever he’s needed. Jonte brings fresh legs and plenty of spark when he hits the field.

#𝟭𝟱 𝗠𝗜𝗧𝗖𝗛 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗥𝗞𝗘
Another sharp operator who can lift the tempo in a hurry. Mitch brings energy, speed and plenty of footy smarts to the contest.

#𝟭𝟲 𝗕𝗔𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗬 𝗡𝗔𝗨𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗡
Big body, strong carries and fresh legs through the middle. Bailey is there to make his presence felt.

#𝟭𝟳 𝗛𝗨𝗚𝗛 𝗢'𝗗𝗘𝗔
Tough, physical and more than happy to get amongst the hard stuff. Hugh brings plenty of punch when he enters the game.

#𝟭𝟴 𝗡𝗜𝗞 𝗥𝗔𝗘𝗧𝗛
Another big body ready to roll through the middle. Nik brings size, strength and exactly the kind of impact you want from the bench.

#𝟭𝟵 𝗡𝗢𝗔𝗛 𝗞𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘
Power and fresh legs when plenty of others are starting to feel theirs. Noah gives the Warriors another big option to keep the pressure coming.

Some bring the spark.

Some bring the size.

All six have one job when their number gets called:

Make an impact.

𝗝𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲. 𝗠𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵. 𝗕𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘆. 𝗛𝘂𝗴𝗵. 𝗡𝗶𝗸. 𝗡𝗼𝗮𝗵.

Fresh legs. Big energy. Maximum damage. 💥

𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗧𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 | 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗠

This is where the hard stuff gets done.

Five powerhouse forwards. Five big motors. And five blokes more than happy to roll up the sleeves and go straight through the front door. 💚💛

#𝟴 𝗟𝗔𝗪𝗦𝗢𝗡 𝗦𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗥
Big carries, plenty of power and always willing to get the Warriors rolling forward. Lawson sets the tone through the middle.

#𝟭𝟬 𝗝𝗔𝗠𝗘𝗦 𝗖𝗛𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗘𝗡
Strong, physical and built for the tough stuff. James brings plenty of punch on both sides of the footy.

#𝟭𝟭 𝗔𝗥𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗥 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗜𝗡𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗧
Runs hard, hits hard and doesn’t mind a bit of contact. Archer brings an edge to the pack that’s made for big games.

#𝟭𝟮 𝗡𝗔𝗦𝗛 𝗦𝗖𝗛𝗪𝗘𝗡𝗞𝗘
A workhorse with plenty of toughness. Nash gets through the dirty work, keeps showing up and isn’t afraid to put his body on the line.

#𝟭𝟯 𝗕𝗟𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗝𝗘𝗙𝗙𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗦
Powerful with the footy and a handful through the middle. Blake gives the Warriors plenty of go-forward when it matters.

They’re not there for the fancy stuff.

They’re there to win the middle, bend the line, make the tackles and lay the platform.

𝗟𝗮𝘄𝘀𝗼𝗻. 𝗝𝗶𝗺𝗺𝘆. 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿. 𝗡𝗮𝘀𝗵. 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗸𝗲.

The Engine Room.

And on Saturday, we’ll need all five cylinders firing. 💚💛

𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗧𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 | 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗘

Every good footy side needs a few blokes who know where everyone is supposed to be.

Enter the spine.

#𝟭 𝗖𝗢𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗥 𝗟𝗢𝗖𝗞𝗘
The eyes at the back. Cooper reads the play, organises from behind and knows exactly when it’s time to inject himself into the action.

#𝟲 𝗧𝗬 𝗕𝗘𝗧𝗧𝗦
Cool head, plenty of footy smarts and an important link in getting the Warriors around the park. Ty helps keep things ticking when the pressure is on.

#𝟳 𝗖𝗔𝗬𝗟𝗘𝗕 𝗢'𝗡𝗘𝗜𝗟
One of the chief organisers. Cayleb calls the shots, steers the boys around and isn’t afraid to take control when the game needs it.

#𝟵 𝗝𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗕𝗨𝗥𝗧𝗢𝗡
Right in the thick of absolutely everything. Tough as nails, competitive as they come and the bloke keeping things moving from dummy half.

They’re the organisers. The communicators. The backbone.

The four blokes charged with reading what’s in front of them, getting everyone where they need to be and pulling the strings when it matters.

𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿. 𝗧𝘆. 𝗖𝗮𝘆𝗹𝗲𝗯. 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗼.

Four footy brains.

The Spine. Ready to call the shots on Grand Final Day 💚💛

𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗧𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 | 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗥

Speed. Strength. Tough carries. And four blokes you probably don’t want coming at you with a bit of space.

Meet our formidable Back Four. 💚💛

#𝟮 𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗠𝗨𝗥𝗗𝗢𝗖𝗛
Dangerous with the footy and always ready to turn half a chance into something bigger. Give Nate some space and good luck catching him.

#𝟯 𝗛𝗨𝗚𝗛 𝗗𝗘𝗡𝗡𝗬
Strong, tough and loves getting involved. Hugh isn’t afraid of the hard carries and gives his side plenty coming out of trouble.

#𝟰 𝗗𝗢𝗠 𝗞𝗜𝗥𝗕𝗬
A serious handful with ball in hand. Dom brings plenty of power to the backline and can make something happen when you least expect it.

#𝟱 𝗭𝗔𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗥 𝗗𝗔𝗟𝗦𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗢
Quick, elusive and always sniffing around for an opportunity. Give Zav a sniff of the try line and he doesn’t need asking twice.

Individually, they each bring something different.

Together, they’re a pretty formidable four.

𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗲. 𝗛𝘂𝗴𝗵. 𝗗𝗼𝗺. 𝗭𝗮𝘃.

Four sets of wheels. Four blokes who aren’t afraid of the tough stuff.

The Back Four are ready for the big dance. 💚💛

𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗧𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 | 𝗖𝗔𝗣𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗡 𝗕𝗨𝗥𝗧𝗢

Tough as nails. That’s Jack Burton.

There’s not much this kid won’t put his body through for his team.

He’ll take the tough carry, throw himself into anything defensively and somehow get back up ready to do it all again.

He’s tough, competitive and loves his footy, but he’s also the bloke his teammates genuinely want to play alongside.

And that’s probably what makes him such a good captain.

On Saturday, Burto gets to lead his mates out onto Toowoomba Sports Ground for a Grand Final.

Knowing him, he’ll probably treat it like any other game…

Run hard. Hit hard. Get up. Repeat. 💚💛

Good luck, Captain Courageous!

𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗧𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 | 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗦 𝗥𝗨𝗛𝗟𝗘

Forget the players for a minute… the real MVPs of season 2026 might just be these two! 💚💛

A massive shoutout to Sheridan and Gary “Chookie” Ruhle from Properties Ruhle Real Estate, our incredible Under 16 Major Sponsor.

They’ve backed our boys all season long and now they’re riding the Warrior Wagon all the way to the BIG DANCE!

And a little fun fact… Chookie pulled on the green and gold himself as a Wattles junior way back when. 👀

We won’t say how far back…

From one generation of Warriors to the next. 💚💛

𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗧𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 | 𝗖𝗢𝗔𝗖𝗛 𝗟𝗘𝗘 𝗦𝗖𝗛𝗪𝗘𝗡𝗞𝗘

When it comes to Grand Finals, our Under 16 Coach Lee Schwenke has a fairly handy résumé.

11 Grand Finals. 10 wins.

The only one he lost was his last one… so we won’t dwell on that. 😏

As a player, Lee was exactly the bloke you didn’t want to line up against.

Tough, uncompromising and an absolute master at getting under the opposition’s skin, he could dish it out, but more importantly, had the toughness to back it up.

Once the final siren sounded though, it stayed on the field. Shake hands, move on, job done.

For more than 15 years, Lee has turned that toughness and footy knowledge to coaching juniors, helping develop plenty of young footballers along the way. He’s also spent time coaching junior representative sides.

Now he finds himself back on Grand Final Day, this time trying to guide our Under 16 Warriors to the big one.

11 Grand Finals.
10 Premierships.
15+ years coaching juniors.

Not a bad bloke to have in your corner on Grand Final Day💚💛

𝗔𝗡 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗬'𝗟𝗟 𝗡𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗚𝗘𝗧.

What a night for our Under 9 Warriors!

Our team had the incredible opportunity to take the field at the Gold Coast Titans v South Sydney Rabbitohs clash, playing the half-time entertainment game against the Ballina Seagulls.

And they certainly didn’t take a backward step!

In one of the hardest and fastest games they’ve played all season, every one of our little Warriors stood tall and gave it everything in the green and gold.

The occasion was made even more memorable with Jai Arrow taking the field for his 99th NRL game.

From the grassroots to the big stage, what an incredible experience for our Under 9s and one they’ll be talking about for a long time to come.

Grassroots to Greatness. 💚💛

𝗧𝗝𝗥𝗟 𝗚𝗔𝗟𝗔 𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗡𝗘𝗥.

Last night, our committee and Club Captains got to take off their volunteer hats for a few hours and enjoy the TJRL Gala Dinner at the Toowoomba Turf Club. 💚💛

There were a few sneaky punts, some serious Melbourne Cup vibes as we devastatingly watched ‘In The Hole Tiger’ fail to win us the big bucks (like, we are talking retirement fund big bucks) 🐎 and, most importantly, the chance to celebrate our Wattles Volunteer of the Year, Kelly Dalsanto.

Kel is one of those people who quietly gets things done, always with an enormous amount of heart.

From pulling off some incredible fundraising initiatives and helping create unforgettable experiences for our kids, to taking on the mammoth job of uniforms this year, her contribution to Wattles is enormous.

She never asks for recognition, but she certainly deserves it.

Every club needs a Kelly. We’re just incredibly lucky that ours has one. 💚💛

Congratulations Kel, and thank you for everything you do for our Warriors.
