Ben Trbojevic & Josh Schuster
To whet the appetite ahead of the 2018 Rugby League season, NSWRL.com.au looks at some of the up-and-coming male and female stars who will hope to represent NSW. Today, we run the eye over Ben Trbojevic, who represented the NSW Under-16s Origin side in 2017.
He’s got two famous brothers in Jake and Tom, but Ben Trbojevic looks to make a name for himself in the next few years.
He's tall like Tom, plays in the forwards like Jake, and just like his brothers did, Ben is expected to build on his impressive junior representative resumè and eventually turn into an NRL player, although there is plenty of work to do before that.
Ben was a part of the NSW under-16s Origin side earlier in the year and played a strong part in a game that went down to the wire at Suncorp Stadium where Bradman Best beat the buzzer where he finished a 100 metre try.
Among the coaching staff in that side was Brad Fittler, Danny Buderus, Paul Sironen and Jamie Feeney, who have all played a role in Trbojevic’s development.
“We’ve been learning a lot from some very experienced coaches which has been fun and interesting,” Trbojevic says.
“It’s mainly simple things like passing and learning how to do the little things better.
“It’s very cool, I watched them when I was young and they were so good and now they’re here coaching us and helping us get better, it’s really good and has been a great experience.”
Josh Schuster already has all the makings of a superstar, even though he still qualified for the NSW Under-16s age group in 2017.
While there are a few years left to wait, Manly fans should be excited about the big and skillful back-rower who is developing in their system as well as the NSW Pathways Program.
He had three touches in the lead-up to an amazing try in the NSW Under-16s Origin game including a freakish no-look pass to Aaron Schoupp who crossed in the corner. That game had a crazy finish where Albert Hopoate and Bradman Best combined for a length of the field try to win the game in the dying moments.
Brydens Lawyers NSW Blues coach Brad Fittler coached Schuster when he represented the NSW Under-16s in 2017, and has high hopes for what the future holds.
“He’s the standout, he’s got all of the skills, the size, and it will be interesting how he handles the occasion,” Fittler said prior to the game.
“He’s areal nice kid, a good team bloke, and they all like having him in the team, I’m keen to watch him.”
Seems the involvement of the Fulton’s overhauling the juniors and lower grades will bear plenty of fruit in the years to come!
