We are deeply saddened by the passing of Brendon Onorator.

Brendon was a well-respected person who was always willing to help, give his time, and support those around him. His work and involvement with the Greystanes Devils, along with his character, generosity, and readiness to step up, left a lasting impression on many.

Brendon was the twin brother of our President, Nathan, and as a club we stand together in support of Nathan and his family during this incredibly difficult time.

We offer our sincere condolences to Brendon’s family and loved ones. Our thoughts are with them, and with everyone across the football community who is mourning this loss. Brendon’s legacy will forever be woven within the footy community — through his friendships and his love for the game.

Rest in peace, Brendon. Always remembered.

🚨U6-U12 Competition Structure and Talent Equalisation Information

Competition Structure

Here’s how our 2026 season will run for U6–U12:

U6–U7: Zoned comps (North/South), no divisions. Teams are balanced using simple player ratings (1–6).

U8–U9: No divisions. Teams are balanced the same way.

U10–U11: Two levels of play. Players rated 1–3 play the higher level; 4–6 play the lower level. Clubs field teams in each level as numbers allow—squads are still balanced.

U12: Up to three divisions. We use U11 backend results to form the comp. Within each club, squads are balanced.

Why we do this: Talent equalisation keeps games close, gives every child more meaningful touches, builds confidence and skills, and makes footy fair, fun, and safe for everyone, this approach aligns with the NRL Player Development Framework.

Talent Equalisation

Please see below a link for the “Talent Equalisation Tiers by Age Group” for a simple age‑by‑age overview.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v5rPzXcVw4ShMOe9qEQiu0AOObQwC52c/view?usp=sharing

Each club will assess every child using the tier descriptions in this document, looking at key fundamentals such as confidence, game awareness, and basic skill ex*****on for their age group.

These ratings are not a judgement of ability, but a tool to help clubs create balanced, fair, and development‑focused teams.

Once all players have been assessed, they will be placed into talent‑equalised teams, ensuring each side has a healthy mix so every child can learn, grow, and enjoy their footy.

An example of how Teams will be talent equalised can be seen at the link below:

If you’ve got any questions, simply message the PJRL through Messenger and our Team will respond.

If you have any questions for your Club concerning their process, please contact your Club Secretary:

Dear Families and Supporters,

It is with deep regret that we announce the North West Hurricanes will not be fielding any teams for the 2025 season due to insufficient player numbers.

Despite our best efforts — including offering free registration with the generous support of our sponsors, Lux Effect and Interelectrical — we were unable to reach the numbers required. Given our location and the range of incentives being offered by other clubs and sports, it simply wasn’t enough to get us over the line this year.

We remain committed to our community and will continue working towards a strong return for the 2026 season.

In the meantime, we encourage families to reach out to nearby clubs such as Winston Hills Hawks, Baulkham Hills Brumbies, or OLQP Bulldogs for Sunday competition. Alternatively, you can explore other Saturday clubs in the Parramatta district via PlayNRL. We will approve all transfers as they come through to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Thank you again for your ongoing support.

Kind regards,
Nathan, Kim & Jason
North West Hurricanes
