Thanks Mattpoet. There are a few names there I had forgotten. Denny Solomona -could score a try from anywhere!

It is interesting how the top kids do not necessarily kick on. The NRL website has named a team of the best 20s players in the comp over the last decade, and some of those stars have not made it in the big league at all.

On the other hand there are blokes like Tohu who are guns at 17 and just make the step to top level with ease.
