Who will be the next pair of Great Britons?
Rugby league is going from strength to strength in Great Britain but who are the sport's rising stars?
Jamie Langley This rising star is expected to touch down in a big way this year for the Bradford Bulls. He's only 19 but he's already won a hatful of honours for club and country.
Langley captained the Bulls' Academy side last season and won the Player of the Year Award.
His cool head and confidence also earnt him the skipper's armband for the England Academy side. He led them to an historic series win over the previously unbeaten Australian schoolboys.
Langley, who plays loose forward, is poised to break into Bradford's first-team. So keep your eye out for him bashing in the tackles for the Bulls!
Ryan Bailey Another teenager making waves in Yorkshire is Leeds second row forward Bailey. He stormed into the Rhinos first team just a week after scoring a hat-trick of tries and four goals for the Academy side!
Since then the 19-year-old's held a regular place on the bench. The word has spread fast about Bailey and he's already been compared to Leeds legend Adrian Morley. Just like the Great Britain star, Bailey is a fast runner and an agressive tackler. Get ready to see Bailey racking up the points for the Rhinos in 2003!
