RUGBY LEAGUE: They’re the bright young boys and girls ready to light up the big stage this weekend.

After a thrilling preliminar­y finals day in Highfields, the Toowoomba Junior Rugby League hosts its grand final day on Saturday, with 14 teams striving for the ultimate glory.

In honour of the big day for the future stars of our game, we look at the 28 players to watch on TJRL grand final day.

With a seemingly endless motor, the second rower boasts skill and a workrate among the premier players in the competitio­n.

“I call her the statistici­an’s nightmare because she would make 60 tackles per game,” coach John Lucas said.

“She runs hard and has an amazing tackle technique.

“For a girl who just turned 15 she’s a real leader, and would be one of the better footballer­s in the competitio­n.”
