Young and aspiring rugby league players were treated to a training clinic by the NRL Kangaroos, who had been using the Wyong Roos facilities in their preparation for the Pacific Cup final on Sunday, November 10.
More than 350 boys and girls turned out on November 3 to meet their heroes for some great training tips and take a lot of selfies.
The Kangaroos and their management were extremely generous with their time and ensured that all those who attended left with lifetime memories.
After a week using the Roos facilities, the Kangaroos headed to Commbank Stadium in Sydney for the big showdown against a red-hot Tonga side.
The Australian Kangaroos defeated Tonga 20-14 to clinch the Pacific Cup championship.

Wyong Roos Head of Rugby League Craig Sandercock said it was a genuine pleasure to host the Kangaroos for the week before the Pacific Cup.
“They’re such a professional group to deal with at all levels,” he said.
“Considering that it was part of preparation for such a major game, it speaks volumes about their commitment to the fans that they would still take the time to hold a session for the kids.
“They are fantastic ambassadors for our game.”
