The annual Under-18s ASSRL National Championships are set to begin this weekend, highlighting Australia's top young rugby league talents.
As reported by zerotackle.com, the event will span two weeks and will culminate in the selection of the 2025 Australian Schoolboys team.
NRL club officials and recruitment teams are expected to be present in Coffs Harbour, scouting for future talent.
In anticipation of the tournament, Zero Tackle has outlined a 'Top 30 Players to Watch,' showcasing promising athletes.
However, some notable players, including Ashton Large, Heamasi Makasini, Lincoln Fletcher, Lui Lee, Onitoni Large, and Rex Bassingthwaite, will miss the championship due to injuries or other commitments.
The championships serve as an important opportunity for young talents to demonstrate their abilities on a national stage, attracting significant attention from NRL clubs and fans alike.
