Here are eight players to watch across this week's under-19's origin matches who are set to push for future NRL and NRLW selection.
Recently signed with North Queensland for the upcoming 2023 season, the 18-year-old Brisbane product is a tough, hard working prop who will get through a mountain of work in attack and defence. Having played the 2023 NSW Harvey Norman Women’s season with the Central Coast Roosters, the Mabel Park SHS student proved her wares in the forwards alongside international stars Millie Boyle and her sister Keilee.
At 19, Losana Lutu has already achieved so much in the women's game, having lined up for NSW Under 19's, partnering Emily Curtain in the halves to lead the Tigers to Grand Final glory in the Harvey Norman Women's Premiership last year and signing an NRLW contract with the inaugural Wests Tigers for 2023. But after a breakout year in 2022, the Fijian-born playmaker will be looking to take her game to new heights in Redcliffe.
