But the eldest, Jordan Moore, has outdone himself this time with a selection into the Country NSW U18s Representative Team, which is set to play a Tri-Series against Papua New Guinea and the Gold Coast Titans in October.

The reason this selection is a bit of a coup for the 16-year-old Bowra boy, is because he managed to outshine the hordes of talented 17-year-olds all vying for the attention of selectors.

“Yeah I was a bit surprised,” he said.

“I thought I might have had a chance next year.”

Selectors had their eyes peeled during the most recent Laurie Daley Cup Country Championships.

While the North Coast team didn’t come up with the goods this time around, selectors must have been impressed with Moore’s consistent form all the same.

“They videoed every game, but we came third in our pool and didn’t make the finals, so I was also surprised to be selected because we played fewer games than everyone else,” Jordan said.

“But the [North Coast Dolphins] coach said the best games I played were in the tougher two games.”

Jordan heard the word that he’d been selected as 18^th man mere hours after the grand final had played out.

As first port of call if any players are injured, the second rower has a lot of pressure to be versatile.

But his Sea Eagles buddies aren’t worried, and U18s coach Todd Bartlett said he’s happy to have a talent as big as Jordan wearing the Macksville jersey.

For now, Jordan says he’s focusing on having a good, injury-free season with the Sea Eagles.
