Itula Seve, a promising rookie for the Sydney Roosters, recently shared insights into his rugby league journey following a successful season, during which he clinched the 2025 SG Ball Cup title and represented the U18s City side.
His narrative reflects a significant shift at the Roosters, where a new generation of talent is emerging, especially after the departure of several veteran forwards in recent years.
Notable players like Robert Toia have shown that the Roosters' pathways system continues to produce exceptional talent, with Toia set to make his Origin debut for the QLD Maroons after just ten matches.
This trend has seen rookies like Blake Steep, Naufahu Whyte, Siua Wong, and the Va'a brothers-De La Salle and Xavier-begin to carve their names into the team's legacy.
Itula Seve, another key figure in this new wave of rookies, signed a long-term contract with the Roosters in February, set to run until the end of 2028.
He is expected to transition to the Top 30 roster in the final two seasons of his deal.
Drawing comparisons to the NRL's Jason Taumalolo, Seve is already gaining recognition as one of the best young forwards in rugby league, not just within the Roosters but across the broader game.
As Seve progresses in his career, he aims to establish a lasting legacy with the Roosters, contributing to the team's ongoing pursuit of success.
His journey represents hope and potential for both the club and its fans, signaling a bright future ahead.
