    A Camden Rams junior with ties to the great James Tedesco, Dooner has been featuring in the schoolboys competition since he was 15-years-old. Now in year 12, the young Roosters fullback will be looking to make his final year his best.

    List in the last few years has been a pretty good indication of the next up and coming stars. Players like Isaiya Katoa, Karl Oloapu, Blake Steep, Rob Toia, DLS Vaa, Chevy Stewart and others have featured. To have a top 5 in Toby Rodwell as well as the upcoming Jake Elliott may give us some indication as to why Townsend has been brought in

        No kids from Scots College. My mate is a teacher there, and the gods of that school are the Roosters. No one cares about the wobblies or horrortahs there. In Crichton, Billy Smith, Wong and Zac Fittler, they have a very strong Alma mater at Easts.

          7

          Heinz Lemoto

          State: NSW CIS

          Position: Back-row

          Affiliation: Panthers

          School: Scots College

          Lemoto was named in the Peter Mulholland team of the year last year as a 15-year-old. The powerful back rower was named Penrith’s Harold Matthews player of the year and has drawn comparisons with rampaging Gold Coast back rower David Fifita.


          4

          Onitoni Large

          State: NSW CIS

          Position: Five-eighth

          Affiliation: Wests Tigers

          School: Scots College

          The Wests Tigers have some talented players coming through their system but few if any have the class and quality of Large. The Scots College student is lightning fast and is also a rugby union star after captaining the Junior Wallabies and playing for the NSW under-16 team.

            It will be interesting to see how many of them make it all the way to the Roosters FG team.
