When he made his NRL debut for the Gold Coast in 2008 at just 17 years of age, Jordan Rapana was a revelation.
In that same year, he had been playing for the Gold Coast Titans' NYC under-20s team. He entered the NRL competition in Round 18 of that 2008 season and scored five tries in his first five games.
He then disappeared from the NRL radar for the next six years.
Jordan headed to England and Wales on a Mormon mission for two years before embarking on a period of self-discovery.
