As the year's first Team List Tuesday dawns upon us, Round 1 every year brings forth shock selections, stars benched, and like every season - a host of rookies.

While many look at the young crop for the SuperCoach potential, the majority of us watch in anticipation to see what the next generation can deliver.

There's been some amazing rookies over the past few seasons, with the likes of Stephen Crichton and Harry Grant going from virtual unknowns to making the Origin squads in 2020. Every player on this list is yet to make their NRL debut, but you'll know their names soon enough.

6. Jock Madden

The half turned 21 on Sunday, and is set to cap off his birthday week with his maiden first-grade jersey. While not favoured to be a regular starter, Adam Doueihi is suspended for the first round, opening the door for Madden to get a run at five-eighth.

Moses Mbye had a hamstring complaint through the trials but is fit to go, however seems set to find himself parked in the 14 jersey, as Madden tries to stake a permanent claim on the number six.

  1. Can anyone say “Trbojevic” ? All but everybody calls these boys Trbojevich. It is “vic” not “vich”

  2. Correct pronunciation would sound like Tr (roll the R)-boy-ev-its, unless they have an accent on the c, like ฤ‡ (tj) or ฤ (ch).
