Jamie Humphreys impresses NRL with remarkable junior success
Jamie Humphreys, a halfback for the South Sydney Rabbitohs, has been in the spotlight for his strong build and impressive play on the field. Adam Dykes, a former player and Humphreys' junior coach, recently shared how Humphreys showed promise from a young age. Dykes noted that even when Humphreys was just 11 years old, he had a physique like a much older athlete. Humphreys played junior rugby in Sydney's Sutherland Shire alongside notable teammates, including current Cronulla Sharks player Sam Stonestreet. They helped their team, De La Salle, win multiple grand finals. This Saturday, Humphreys will face Stonestreet in an upcoming match, adding some competitive excitement to their past camaraderie. Dykes praised Humphreys for his talent and competitive spirit early in his career. "All the kids were skinny, but here was Jamie, built like an Adonis," he said. Humphreys has played a key role in the Rabbitohs' early success this season, leading them to two straight wins. In a fun twist, NRL legend Andrew Johns expressed admiration for Humphreys after seeing a photo of him. He jokingly asked if Humphreys was single and seemed interested in making a connection. Meanwhile, Lewis Dodd, a recent English recruit for the Rabbitohs, has not been chosen to start, but he remains hopeful. He believes in his abilities and is determined to show his worth in the NRL.
