This Guy's a DOUG!! NSW Blues Future Player?

Last year was his best: 22 games in multiple positions, and he collected the club's best forward and most consistent awards.

2026 has been more of a grind. A stubborn hamstring limited him to three games by mid-May, though he returned in the win over Souths and had to shift to five-eighth mid-game when Kodi Nikorima went down — and simply got on with it.

Kurt Donahue has said a NSW jersey is what he's chasing. He's also a Fiji Test regular, which under the eligibility rules is no barrier; from February 2026, players qualify for Origin on the traditional under-13 residency test regardless of who they represent internationally.
