There has been hype surrounding Harry Newman since he first emerged as a talented academy player and that promise continues to be fulfilled.
He made his England debut in 2023 and has become one of the Super League’s most marketable talents – young, pacy, skilful and full of drive.
It is such talent that secured him the chance to attend the FA Cup final as a guest of sponsors, and to give his brother that bucket-list moment at Wembley.
Yet, much like his off-field life, there have been set-backs; long-term injuries that would have tested the stoutest of characters.
“I had a leg break back in 2020 and was out for 11 months and people wrote me off then,” Harry said.
“I’ve had two hamstring operations since and I feel that would have derailed a lot of people.
“But if I’ve got the opportunity to be on that pitch when he [Ed] doesn’t, then I’ll make sure I am. I would never give up and he’s my reason why.
“Before I kept everything in, and I’m not perfect now, but I’ve definitely changed a lot off the field and a lot of people have said that. It’s in the way I conduct myself.
“Sometimes it does boil over on the pitch, but I’m a competitor and I want to win. Sometimes I’ll have a bad game, last week [against St Helens] was probably the worst game I’ve ever had.”
The sporting calendar is nearly done and dusted for 2024, so it’s time to see how much you can remember from the past 12 months
