Yet another rising rugby star has been lost to league, with utility backrower Charlie Rorke signing a two-year rookie contract with the Canberra Raiders.
The 17-year-old St. Ignatius schoolboy was featured tearing through the Sydney GPS schools on Club Roar.
Angus Crichton, made a similar move a few years prior, representing Australia in 2013’s Schoolboys rugby team, before becoming a South Sydney Rabbitohs star.
Rorke was reportedly being viewed as a potential future hooker, however, now that he’s been picked up by the Raiders it’s expected he’ll transition into a backrower.

In wet conditions, the Broncos were making it extremely tough for 18-year-old Chevy Stewart in just his second game.
A hit in the face is not what the Brisbane fullback needed after recently returning from a broken cheekbone.
