Throughout the years, rugby league has seen many young talents rise up and become some of the greatest players the game has ever seen.

Don’t forget to comment your thoughts and opinions below.
Karl Filiga
Although he may not be widely known in the NRL community today, Karl Filiga was once dubbed the next Sonny-Bill Williams.
This was further acknowledged when in 2007 Filiga signed a three year $600,000 deal with the Sharks which at the time was a lucrative deal.
However, in 2008 Filiga only managed to play one game in round 13 against the Penrith Panthers and asked for his release in 2009.
The speculation is that Filiga requested his release due to troubles overcoming chest and foot injuries. He is now currently playing for the Mudgee Dragons.
