RUGBY LEAGUE: Nick Lane is approaching his ninth season of rugby league with Collegians and can't wait for kick-off in the first game.

"I have two seasons of junior league to go and usually play in the second row," Lane said.

Last season, he played in the Collegians U14 team which went down in the grand final and is hoping to go one better this season in the U16 grade.

He has played for Warwick and District at U13 and U14 level.

"I like the extra challenge in representative footy," he said.

While Lane is not an inside back, he still lists halfback Johnathan Thurston as his favourite player.

Sam Ogden is in his first year in the U16 grade and hopes to play five-eighth.

"I enjoy coming to training and sometimes kick goals," he said.

As for his favourite player, it is Warriors half Shaun Johnson.
