New South Wales' next generation of stars will combine for training camp next month as they begin their preparations for 2022.
The Sky Blues and the NSW Women's Under 19s squads will link up with some of Brad Fittler's emerging talents for a training program on December 12 at the NSWRL Centre of Excellence.
Sea Eagles stalwarts Josh Schuster, Jason Saab and Haumole Olakauโatu, Roosters pair Joseph Suaalii and Egan Butcher, and Saints trio Junior Amone, Tyrell Sloan and Jayden Sullivan headline the Future Blues squad, who will work under the tutelage of Fittler, Sky Blues coach Kylie Hilder and assistants Danny Buderus, Paul McGregor and Mark OโMeley.
โI have always been passionate about the next generation of NSW stars coming through the system ever since my time as a representative pathways coach,โ Fittler said on the announcement.
โThe NSWRL has a proud history of nurturing talented players as they rise through the ranks and some of the star players for the Brydens Lawyers NSW Blues began their representative careers in NSW pathways teams.
โThe game will always produce Rugby League stars and Iโm looking forward to working with the Future Blues to help them realise their potential, as well as assisting with training sessions for the Sky Blues and Under 19s Womenโs Origin teams.โ
The Blues' best and emerging female talent will also look to work closely with the star-studded and experienced coaching pack at the camp, with Hilder expressing her excitement in the venture.
โItโs always great for the menโs and womenโs teams to work together and the girls got a real buzz out of training with Freddy and his assistant coaches earlier this year,โ Hilder said.
โThe session will form an important first step in our preparations as the Sky Blues look to return the Origin Shield home next season, while the NSW Under 19s Womenโs team will be keen to defend their title.โ
