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.
2. Sunia Turuva
Chances are, if you hadn't heard of Sunia Turuva before this weekend, then you certainly have now.
The Panthers' product was electric at the back for Fiji, running over 250 metres, breaking seven tackles as well as scoring a double to ensure fans left Campbelltown Stadium on Saturday uttering his name.
Recently re-signing until the end of 2024, expect the Panthers to issue a stern 'hands off' to opposition clubs that come sniffing, while a potential positional move into the centres could allow Izack Tago to move into the back-row after Viliame Kikau departs, and open up a spot for Turuva in the backline. The Penrith production line keeps on churning.
