Burdekin Roosters’ young talent Chekaharne Taiters continues to build an impressive early rugby league resume, earning representative honours while balancing strong personal and family challenges.
Chekaharne’s hard work and dedication have led to some incredible opportunities and milestones.
He was selected from more than 400 under-18 players to represent the Queensland Murri Carnival representative squad through the Arthur Beetson Foundation.
Following this achievement, he was also selected to play for the Ipswich Jets under-19 Mal Meninga Cup squad. This was a fantastic honour and another important step in his rugby league journey.
Unfortunately, due to family circumstances, with his mum facing cancer, Chekaharne was unable to follow through with the opportunity.
He has just arrived home after proudly representing the Queensland Murri team against the New Zealand Māori on the Sunshine Coast, where Queensland secured a 28–20 victory last Thursday night.
These achievements are a testament to Chekaharne’s commitment, talent and determination, and we couldn’t be prouder of everything he has accomplished.
We congratulate Chekaharne Taiters on representing his family, community, club and culture with pride.
We look forward to seeing all that he achieves in the future.
Congratulations, Chekaharne Taiters.
