The 2025 NRL is just over a single month away and every team are set to bleed youngsters during the pre-season trial matches and throughout the entirety of the upcoming season.
Ahead of the season's opening match in Las Vegas, Zero Tackle examines the top six emerging talents to watch during the 2025 NRL season.
5. Casey McLean (Penrith Panthers)
With Sunia Turuva's departure, this young star is likely to secure a spot on the wing and could be a top try-scorer.
McLean had limited opportunities in 2024, primarily featuring in the NSW Cup where he scored meat pies for fun.
His combination of size, speed and finishing ability makes him a prime candidate to fill the void left by Turuva.
