As we draw the curtain on our final mid-season representative round, some veterans said farewell to the international arena, while some select youngsters used the opportunity to launch themselves to household names.

When looking back at the performances behind representative round, it'd be easy to read into David Nofoaluma's four-try effort, Joey Manu's near 400 running metres, or the efforts of joint NRLW Dally M medalist Emma Tonegato.

Yet behind these performances, are a select few young talents, slowly forging their own path within the game.

These are the hidden gems you may have missed.

4. Jada Taylor

Still on impressive under-19s New South Welshman, Tamworth product Jada Taylor was scintillating for the Blues at fullback, taking out the Nat Dwyer Medal after a gutsy performance, which included a 109-metre solo effort.

Taylor scored a double for the Blues as well as setting one up for centre Andie Robinson, running 236 metres in the process as she looks to stake claim to the Roosters' fullback role in the upcoming NRLW season.

With wheels like hers, there's no doubt Taylor has a massive future in the competition.
