While some stars begin to wind down their illustrious careers, others are only just kicking off.

Every year, new elite talents of our game are discovered, some rookies biding their time in lower grades, some are in their mid-20s just waiting for their big break.

Regardless of circumstance, every club has at least one teetering on the edge of their chair all pre-season, just waiting for February to come around so they can prove themselves in the trials.

Who will be your club's breakout star of 2023? Let's dive in and have a look.

5. The Dolphins

Isaiya Katoa

So highly rated is Isaiya Katoa that Kristian Woolf selected him for Tonga at the World Cup, despite knowing that the 18 year-old would have to do his HSC tests online during the English tour.

Leaving Penrith for the Dolphins isn't an easy task, but Wayne Bennett will nurture Katoa through 2023, and debut him when the time is right. Arguably the biggest future on this list.
