The NRL clubs have been waving the chequebooks around in the silly season but the next big thing may be right under their noses. Mark Ashton explores the most likely superstars from all 16 clubs.Brisbane Broncos - Jai ArrowJai Arrow had a taste of NRL in 2016 and has been earmarked as the?heir apparent to the retired Broncos legend Corey Parker.This expectation comes with a great deal of pressure but many good judges, including coach Wayne Bennett, believe the 21-year old former Junior Kangaroo has a huge future in front of him.Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs - Brad AbbeyWhen the Bulldogs lured Brad Abbey from the Warriors at the end of 2015 it was seen as a major coup and the electrifying fullback could show why in 2017.The young Kiwi could be the big winner from Will Hopoates no-play on Sunday decision due to his religious beliefs and once he gets his chance there may be no looking back.Canberra Raiders - Kato OttioThe 2016 season was Kato Ottios first at Canberra after moving from his native Papua New Guinea and he couldnt have made a better impression. Blessed with a devastating combination of size and speed, Ottio racked up 29 tries in 23 games for the Raiders feeder club Mounties.His season was interrupted by an ACL injury sustained late in the season but an NRL debut wont be far away once he returns to the field in 2017.Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks -?Jayden BraileyMichael Ennis is the only player from the Sharks Grand Final-winning team that wont be at the club in 2017 but Jayden Brailey represents a ready-made replacement.The local junior represented the Australian Schoolboys in 2014, was named in the 2015 NYC Team of the Year and could make the No.9 jumper his own for a long time,?Gold Coast Titans -?Greg LeleisiuaoGreg Leleisiuao is an explosive runner of the ball - so much so that he was compared to Greg Inglis in 2015 when just 18-years-old. The Auckland-born speedster is yet to make his NRL debut but gave a clear insight into his potential with a number of impressive performances in the 2016 Auckland Nines.As a former hip hop dancer,?Leleisiuao is clearly quick on his feet and with the Titans losing a number of outside backs such as Nene Macdonald, David Mead,?Josh Hoffman and Brian Kelly, 2017 may present him with a golden opportunity to establish his NRL career.Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles - Peter SchusterPeter Schuster was lured from Australias Rugby Sevens to Manly in 2016 - a major coup for the Sea Eagles. Australian-born but with a strong Samoan heritage, Schuster is the latest in a rich bloodline of talent that includes his uncle John Schuster - a dual international with 10 caps for the All Blacks, three for Samoa and two rugby league Tests for Western Samoa.Schuster was discovered by Manly great and former Aussie Sevens coach Michael OConnor in 2013 before going on to represent the Australian under-19s and Samoa under-20s. He boasts natural flare, explosive speed and can play fullback, wing and centre.Melbourne Storm - Curtis ScottCurtis Scott is a former bricklayer now building a career in rugby league and his glittering resume suggests he has already established a solid foundation in which to do so. Born and bred in Sydneys Sutherland shire, Scott made the bold move to leave his junior club in 2016 to further his career under the guidance of Craig Bellamy at the Storm.The 19-years-old is comfortable at both centre and wing and has already impressed many good judges with fine performances for the New South Wales and Australian Schoolboys under-18s teams. Scott made two NRL appearances at the start of 2016 before his season was cut short with a broken leg in Round 4 - ironically against his former club the Sharks.But it would seem a matter of when not if we see him back in the top grade and with lingering doubts over Billy Slaters future, he may just become a household name in 2017.Newcastle Knights - Ken TofilauKen Tofilau still qualified for the Knights NYC side in 2016 but spent most of the season getting accustomed to the faster pace of reserve grade. The highly rated Kiwi was the named the Knights NYC Player of the Year in 2015, and was equally impressive when promoted to NSW Cup where he played a leading role in Newcastles grand final win and State Championship match.Blessed with blistering speed and mesmerising footwork, Tofilau has represented NZ Residents 16s, NZ Residents 17s and New Zealand U18s and Newcastle great and rugby league immortal Andrew Johns is one of his biggest fans so a taste of NRL football in 2017 wouldnt come as a shock.?New Zealand Warriors -?Mafoaaeata HinganoAta Hingano grew up playing with Brad Abbey, the Bulldogs rookie identified earlier, and has already compiled a strong resume that includes representing the Kiwis under-16s in 2012, under-18s in 2014, the Warriors NYC Grand Final winners in 2015 as well as being named the NRL clubs Rookie of the Year in 2016.Hingano made two NRL appearances 2016 and while there are sure to be many more to come, however, they may not necessarily be at the Warriors. The 19-years-old is a huge talent but with Shaun Johnson at seven, the arrival of Kieran Foran to play five-eighth and Issac Luke at hooker, his opportunities may be limited at the Warriors and there is speculation that his head has been turned by interest from a rival club.North Queensland Cowboys - Gideon Gela-MosbyGideon Gela-Mosby is blessed with lightning quick speed and covers 100 metres in near-Olympic time of 10.24 seconds - an attribute that helped him set a new tryscoring record of 39 tries in 22 games in the under-20s competition in 2015.Hes been a regular junior representative player with selection for Queensland under-16s and under-18s, Queensland Schoolboys and the Australian Schoolboys teams. He quickly grabbed the attention of NRL fans with two tries in nine minutes on debut at the 2016 Auckland Nines and similar performances for the Cowboys in the regular competition are surely not far away.Parramatta Eels -?Marata NiukoreMarata Niukore joined Parramatta from the Warriors at the end of 2016 and the promising youngster threatens to be yet another young star that managed to slip away from the Kiwi club.?Standing at 188 cms and weighing in at 102 kgs, the 21-year-old is comfortable playing in the centres or the back-row and after a strong apprenticeship in the Warriors highly-rated NYC team and two years with the Junior Kiwis, he is now considered a strong contender to push for an NRL debut in 2017.Penrith Panthers - Oliver ClarkPenrith is famous for its rugby league nursery and local junior Oliver Clark looms as the next promising star off the production line.At 20-years-old, the 2014 Australian Schoolboys prop stands at a towering 190cms and weighs in at 106kgs and was also a leading figure in the Panthers NYC side which won the 2015 Holden Cup Premiership.South Sydney Rabbitohs -?Tyrell FuimaonoTyrell Fuimaono was one of Parramattas most promising forwards after a breakout season in the NYC in 2016 but South Sydney snuck under the Eels guard to lure him to Redfern.The 20-year-old will give the Rabbitohs some versatility with his size and speed enabling him to play as an edge backrower or in the centres. The Bunnies have parted company with a number of outside backs including Joe Burgess, Kirisome Auvaa and Michael Oldfield so the former Junior Kangaroo and Australian Schoolboy might just get a chance to make his NRL debut in 2017.St. George Illawarra Dragons -?Luciano LeiluaHe made just four NRL appearances in 2016 but Luciano Leilua is possibly the hottest young commodity in the game. He represented the Australian Schoolboys and NSW under-18s in 2014 but his late-season NRL cameo has several rival clubs lining up for his signature.At just 20-years-old, Leilua is already a monsterous 186 cms and 112 kgs and the young backrower has the potential to establish himself as one of the Dragons most destructive forwards.Sydney Roosters - Liam KnightLiam Knight is a player with huge potential but he does come with some baggage. A serious off-field indiscretion has over-shadowed his on-field performances to date and while he represents a risk for the Roosters, he is definitely a risk worth taking.Knight is long-striding forward who can play lock, second row and front row - he is blessed with an off-load, a good turn of speed for a big man and is bruising in defence. The Alice Springs-born Knight turns 22 in 2017 and after making his NRL debut with Manly in 2016, it wouldnt come as a major surprise to see him cement a regular place in the Roosters forward pack over the next 12 months.?Wests Tigers -?Jacob LiddleThe Tigers have a number of promising young cubs in their ranks - forwards JJ Felise and Esan Marsters will all push for promotion but with Robbie Farah moving on, it would appear that the best opportunity may well fall for hooker Jacob Liddle.The 20-year-old is gifted with his great speed and vision and after having a taste of NRL against the Bulldogs in 2016, the 2014 Australian Schoolboy could establish himself as a regular member of the NRL team.

CHICAGO -- Chicago forward Nikola Mirotic was fined after he missed the team walkthrough before the Bulls ugly 95-69 loss to Milwaukee on Friday night, and coach Fred Hoiberg kept him on the bench for the second night.Mirotic said he forgot about the walkthrough, and he apologized to his teammates and Hoiberg. He said it had nothing to do with not playing Thursday night.No, Im not that kind of guy. Even if things are not like how I would like them to be, Im very professional, he said. Its not my first year here. Those guys respect me and I respect them. I would never do that, something like that.Hoiberg said Mirotic worked out Friday morning and they had a meeting, but he wasnt excused from the walkthrough. The 6-foot-10 Mirotic is averaging a career-low 8.7 points through 24 games this season. He is shooting 38 percent from the field and 28 percent from 3-point range, also career lows.Asked about their meeting, Hoiberg said Mirotics mindset was as good as he can be in a situation like that.Obviously, any competitor isnt going to be happy when you get taken out of a lineup, Hoiberg said before the loss to Milwaukee. But talking to him about keeping himself ready ... It was good to see him in there this morning getting in extra work and getting up extra shots, keeping himself prepared when hhis name was called, and thats what we talked about.dddddddddddd Obviously hes going to get another chance this year. Hes got to keep working, keep himself ready, and when opportunity comes, go out and play well.The 25-year-old Mirotic made his NBA debut in 2014 and averaged 10.2 points while playing in all 82 games during his rookie year. He made 38 starts last season and averaged 11.8 points, but he has been plagued by inconsistency throughout his time in Chicago.Its been difficult, Mirotic said of sitting for consecutive games. Its the first time in my career that this is happening, but its the coachs decision, so I have to respect that.Also Friday, guard Michael Carter-Williams got the cast off his injured left wrist and said he is hoping to practice next week. Carter-Williams has been sidelined since Oct. 31 with wrist and left knee injuries.Ive been doing everything with my cast on, he said. Ive been running and working out, just trying to stay in shape, so when I come back it wont take me long to get back to playing (in games).The Bulls acquired Carter-Williams in an October trade with Milwaukee.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap ' ' '
