As the year's first Team List Tuesday dawns upon us, Round 1 every year brings forth shock selections, stars benched, and like every season - a host of rookies.
While many look at the young crop for the SuperCoach potential, the majority of us watch in anticipation to see what the next generation can deliver.
There's been some amazing rookies over the past few seasons, with the likes of Stephen Crichton and Harry Grant going from virtual unknowns to making the Origin squads in 2020. Every player on this list is yet to make their NRL debut, but you'll know their names soon enough.
10. Frank Pele
The young Cronulla prop who has been restricted from lifting weights because he 'gains too much muscle', Pele is a scary prospect for Cronulla. They've got an interesting mix of young, exciting forwards in the likes of Toby Rudolf, Briton Nikora and Braden Hamlin-Uele, and a host of veterans in their twilight through Andrew Fifita and Aiden Tolman.
Pele adds another dimension to a daunting forward pack going through a generational shift, and while Fifita and Tolman are at the end of their careers, they do offer great mentoring for the 20-year-old rookie.
Can anyone say “Trbojevic” ? All but everybody calls these boys Trbojevich. It is “vic” not “vich”
Correct pronunciation would sound like Tr (roll the R)-boy-ev-its, unless they have an accent on the c, like ć (tj) or č (ch).
