While some stars begin to wind down their illustrious careers, others are only just kicking off.

Every year, new elite talents of our game are discovered, some rookies biding their time in lower grades, some are in their mid-20s just waiting for their big break.

Regardless of circumstance, every club has at least one teetering on the edge of their chair all pre-season, just waiting for February to come around so they can prove themselves in the trials.

Who will be your club's breakout star of 2023? Let's dive in and have a look.

14. South Sydney Rabbitohs

Terrell Kalo Kalo

This kid is going to be something special. Usually a fullback in the lower grades, expect Terrell Kalo Kalo to burst onto the scene on the wing in first-grade this season.

Nimble and hard-running, Kalo Kalo has a name so nice you've got to say it twice, and looks a real chance of landing an extended run in the NRL. Taane Milne is suspended for the opening two rounds and Izaac Thompson is a 26 year-old rookie, there's every chance this kid starts on the right wing in Round 1.
