NRL Interim Chief Executive, Mr Shane Mattiske, Toyota Regional Manager, Eastern Region, Mr Bernie Smith, and members of the 2012 Toyota Cup Team of the Year gathered to mark the latest achievements in the televised national youth competition, which is unrivalled in Australian sport. “You only have to look at the highlights reel each week in the NRL to appreciate the exciting role the Toyota Cup is playing as a development pathway,” Mr Mattiske said. Keary was selected on the interchange of the 17-man squad and joins current Rabbitohs player Dylan Farrell (2010) and former Rabbitohs under 20s players Chris Sandow (2008), Malcolm Webster (2009), Taioalo Vaivai (2009), Josh Mansour (2010) and James Roberts (2011) in this prestigious group.
