Every now and then rugby league is blessed with someone of such wondrous talent, such gobsmacking ability, that the game itself is changed forever. The names of these legends are carved into the bedrock of the game, whispered with reverence by adherents to the one true code. Andrew Johns. Glenn Lazarus. Wally Lewis. Big Tommy Raudonikis.

Never forget.

Now another name can be added to that list. At a Legends of League charity game in Toowoomba a couple of weeks ago, veterans of the game like Petero Civoniceva, David Peachey and Matt Geyer were unexpectedly left in the shade when a young, virtually unknown rookie came out of nowhere to steal the show.

Scooping up the ball on his own ten-metre line, this prodigy carved through the Queensland defence with frightening ease, leaving even his teammates struggling to keep up and scoring under the black dot, before converting his own effort with a nonchalant skill Hazem el Masri in his prime would envy.

Speculation that the young superstar will be tapped for the NSW 2016 State of Origin squad remains unconfirmed, but considering their last effort, having a four-year-old child on the team couldn’t make things any worse.
