A collection of young Dragons were on show at the Australian Secondary Schools Rugby League National Championships at Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour over the past fortnight.
Jacob Halangahu, Kade Reed, and Lucas Borg – who all spent the earlier part of the year with the Dragons and Steelers SG Ball squads respectively – starred on the men's side of the draw.
Halangahu added some more silverware to his resumé taking home the NSWCCC's Most Valuable Player award.
He was also named to the Australian Schoolboys side for the second year in a row.
They were flanked by the likes of Oliver Burton, Noah Fitzgerald, Api Amone, Hunter Fangupo, Junior Saifiti Junior and Asher Chapman who are all a part of the club's pathways system.
On the women's side, Indie Bostock, Koffi Brookfield, and Trinity Tauaneai – who all find themselves on development deals for the 2024 NRLW season – led the way along with other junior standouts Tori Shipton, Tahlia O'Brien, Herewaka Pohatu, Ella Greatz, Tahanni Kaufusi, Michala Hardy, Halle Barrett, Rhian Yeo, Levini Latu, Skye Spencer, Seriah Palepale, Ella Churchill and Paige Tauaneai.
Bostock, Tauaneai, and Palepale were all named in the Australian Schoolgirls squad in recognition of their standout performances.
