Four Highly-Touted Debutants Highlight a Thrilling Final NRL Round
The last round of the NRL season often lacks excitement since the standings are typically set. However, this year's final round promises to be one of the most thrilling of the season, mainly because four highly anticipated debutants are set to make their NRL debuts in Round 27.
Leading the charge is Heamasi Makasini, a standout prospect from the Wests Tigers who has consistently impressed scouts with his skills on the rugby league field. According to sources at Zero Tackle, Makasini is set to make his debut this weekend after finishing his high school rugby union season just two weeks ago. The 18-year-old is tipped to play on the wing as he takes on the Gold Coast Titans this Saturday.
The Titans will also introduce two promising young talents in this match. The first is Cooper Bai, a rugby convert who has excelled in the Titan's QLD Cup team. Bai is expected to debut off the bench, as noted by Travis Meyn.
