ROOKIE’S UP FOR IT

-

SHE is the untested rookie who could be set to blow the Townsville District Rugby League grand final wide open.

Brothers teen sensation Stella Abbott hadn’t picked up a Steeden before the start of the season.

Now she is on the cusp of the big dance.

And she has a formidable rival opposite her in Western Lions tryscoring machine Rudie Doyle.

But Brothers coach Rothana Baira has faith in Abbott that she won’t just face up to the task, but beat it.
