Faith, footy and family are at the forefront of everything for Queensland Rubys prop Maleala Su'a.

The teenager is focused on being a role model for her two younger siblings – on and off the field. And she can’t wait to rip in for the Rubys at the Harvey Norman Women’s National Championships from May 18.

Rugby league has been a lifeline for Queensland Sapphires lock Aerielle ‘May May’ Hobbler.

The 18-year-old, who hails from Mareeba, lost her mum suddenly and tragically in March last year before losing her dad to throat cancer in January. She is now guardian to her 16-year-old brother, 13-year-old niece and nine-year-old nephew.

Inspired by Australian Rugby 7s star and big sister Emma Sykes, Queensland Rubys youngster Tayla Sykes is aiming high – but in rugby league.

The 18-year-old, like her sister, also played 7s, but the appeal of the rugby league pathways and with the opportunities to make it to the top increasing, she was drawn across.

Queensland Under 19 speedster Destiny Mino-Sinapati is “a genuine athlete” with an unmatchable drive to win.

Queensland Under 19 coach Deanna Turner said the talented fullback, who played for Wynnum Manly Seagulls in this year’s BMD Premiership, brought “enthusiasm and speed” to the side.

Rugby league is in hooker Lily-Rose Kolc’s blood.

The 18-year-old, who was a star performer for the Queensland Rubys at the Harvey Norman Women’s National Championships, said put simply, rugby league had always been in her life and she couldn’t imagine life any other way.

Hopefully the injury to Tavarna Papalii at the Australian Schools Championships isn't serious and she will be able to take part in the game.

Born and bred in Townsville, Queensland Under 19 lock Damon Marshall cannot wait to don maroon.

A proud Queenslander who looked up to Queensland Maroons star Greg Inglis as a child, Marshall said taking small steps towards achieving great things in the game was always the goal.

Marshall, who went to Ignatius Park College in Townsville, played for the Townsville Blackhawks in the Auswide Bank Mal Meninga Cup competition last year before being picked up by the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs.
