Huge congratulations to Lleyton on securing a rugby scholarship with the Super League club, Huddersfield Giants! This is an amazing opportunity for him to take his skills to the next level, and we can't wait to see him shine on the pitch when he starts in September. This is a testament to all his hard work and dedication to the sport, and we're beyond thrilled to see him achieve his dreams! 🏉🎉
