Rising NRL Stars Shine in Fiery U19s Origin Clash
Raiders rising star, Chevy Stewart, showcased his talent in a heated U19s Origin clash between the NSW and QLD teams. The game, held at the iconic Leichhardt Oval, saw Stewart, a key player for the Blues, making significant contributions on the field.
With just three NRL games under his belt, Stewart’s experience stood out as he powered through the Queensland defense to score a crucial try early in the match. Despite the Maroons’ efforts to level the score, Stewart’s presence continued to make an impact.
The intensity of the game was evident when a scuffle broke out involving several players, including Panthers‘ Jesse McLean, who was unfortunately sidelined due to an injury. The physicality on the field added to the rivalry between the two U19s teams.
The Blues, led by Stewart and his fellow rising star Ethan Strange, were determined to secure their third consecutive victory against the Maroons. Strange, a Rookie of the Year contender, was instrumental in the previous year’s win and looked to replicate his success in this clash.
On the opposing side, Jaxon Purdue from the Cowboys displayed his skillset as he faced off against Stewart in the battle for U19s supremacy. The matchup between these young talents captivated fans and showcased the future of the NRL.
