SHARKS SNATCH RUGBY JUNIOR

Cronulla have scored a coup by signing on of the brightest young talents in the rugby union world.

Australian schoolboys utility back Jangala Bennet was chased by half a dozen clubs but has agreed to join the Sharks next season on a two-year deal.

A freakish side-stepper with the ability to read a game, Bennet hails from Brisbane rugby nursery Nudgee College.

He shone in the GPS rugby competition in Brisbane last season, the arena in which Kalyn Ponga cut his teeth, scoring 15 tries in eight games, and can play anywhere in the backline.

Bennet has been compared to both Benji Marshall and Johnathan Thurston - high praise indeed - but the kid is something special and union officials are fuming at his change of allegiances.

Very good young player with a huge future if he kicks on.

As long as those knees stay intact he could be the next Barba the way he plays.

Can I just ask... how exactly is he a 'superstar' if he's up and coming?

These type of kids are dime a dozen they rarely kick on. Ponga was the exception obviously.

Rugby Union had big plans for him.

Kid can play..

This bloke is better than Ponga. I know I'm hyping him up quite a bit, but the bloke is VERY good.

Apparently 8 NRL clubs were chasing him.
