Young Sharks recognised
In an indication of the talent coming through in our junior rep teams, four Sharks Under-18 SG Ball squad members have been included in Origin Pathway camps.
Local juniors Daniel Vasquez and Brock Ilett, have been chosen to be part of the NSW Origin Pathways Camp, putting them in the eyes of selectors and on the road to possible NSW Under-18s team selection, making it a significant step in their representative journey.
Both front rowers with the SG Ball team, Vasquez came through the ranks with the Yarrawarrah club, while Ilett plays with Cronulla Caringbah.
The camp takes place today, Thursday January 22 at the NSWRL Academy in Narrabeen.
In addition, two of the Sharks new recruits in Keenan Yorston and JustinTimu have been named in the Emerging Maroons Under-18’s camp to take place in Brisbane.
Yorston, a centre who has only recently returned after representing the Australian Schoolboys in the UK, and Timu an impressively built front rower, fly north and go into camp this weekend.
Morris called in to lend a hand
John Morris, the Sharks newly appointed Elite Player Development Coach, made the trip down to Canberra this week to lend a hand at an Australian Institute of Sport emerging player camp.
For regional kids under 17 years, not involved in any club junior rep programs, the camp was run by former NRL player Brad Drew, with Morris amongst the coaches to assist with some of the skills sessions on the day.
The Sharks sent two of their scholarship players identified from their recent Pathways Camp in Queenslanders Lawson Creighton and Luke Kisaloff to the camp.
