Canterbury Bulldogs fans will be buzzing with excitement as they witness the potential long-term halves combination of Woods and Conti take the field for the first time in tomorrow's match.
According to the report on bulldogs.com.au, the duo will be pairing up in Round 1 of the junior rep season.
It's clear that Woods is a standout talent, as evidenced by his recent four-year deal with the Bulldogs.
Despite interest from rival clubs and codes, he chose to commit his future to Canterbury until 2027.
With his leadership skills on display as he captained the Bulldogs' premiership-winning Harold Matthews side in 2023, the hopes are high that he will develop into a top-notch halfback.
It's anticipated that he will join the Club's NRL squad for training starting next season.
Conti, on the other hand, is a former Wests Tigers junior and a skilled five-eighth.
After captaining Balmain's Harold Matthews side last year, he made the decision to join the Bulldogs this season.
The fact that these two talented players are not only teammates but also schoolmates from St Patricks College in Strathfield adds an extra layer of chemistry to their combination.
Their success as representatives for NSW Combined Independent Schools in the Australian Secondary Schools Championships last year only solidifies the belief in their potential.
As the NSWRL junior reps season kicks off across the state, all eyes will be on Woods and Conti to see if they can live up to the hype and establish themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the world of Rugby League.
