CHOOKS NAB RUGBY TEEN


One of rugby’s brightest prospects has emerged as James Tedesco’s likely successor at the Roosters.
Teenager Rex Bassingthwaighte (pictured) has signed a long-term deal to play rugby league.
Australian rugby had hoped to keep Bassingthwaighte but he will be at the Roosters until at least the end of 2028.
Roosters officials believe he can be the long-term successor to Tedesco, who has one year left on his contract. However, the club is keen to extend its skipper’s deal until 2026.
Bassingthwaighte was part of Rugby Australia’s plans after he scored Australia’s first try in a 38-31 under-18s win against New Zealand Schools this month.
Two years ago, the Dubbo product scored two tries for the Australian under-16s rugby side against the Pacific All-Stars.
Since then he has played Harold Matthews for the Roosters and dominated in the GPS school system with Shore.
It is another blow for rugby after his Australian under-18s teammate Heamasi Makasini signed a long-term deal with the Tigers. Penrith junior Heinz Lemoto is also at the centre of a cross-code tug of war.
