If you haven't heard of GL by now he's an 18 year old 20's lad training with NRL at the moment. Played 20's last year and still has 2016 and 2017 in the U20's grade.
Anyway, here is the latest article on him. Bound to be a few over the next year so may as well create a thread for him.

GREG Leleisiuao can sleep in again.
It might seem like a simple thing to many of us, but for the boom Gold Coast Titans prospect it means a lot after getting as little as four hours of sleep each night during the 2015 season.
The former Woodridge State High School student had to juggle his commitments with the Titans’ under-20s side while getting up at 3am for a job with Total Food network at Rocklea.
Now the Marsden resident is training with the Titans’ NRL squad during pre-season, he has left his job at Rocklea and is looking to enrol in a study course as he aims to crack into the NRL side in 2016.
“My short-term goal is to play in the Auckland 9s in February and then I’d like to make my NRL debut next year,” Leleisiuao, who attended Woodridge State High School in 2013-14 before joining the Titans, said.
“I’m doing the fulltime preseason with the Titans’ NRL side. It’s been really tough at times but it’s been a really good experience for me to train with guys who have played State of Origin and international football.
“Greg Bird’s one who’s been great to me — he always pushes me and it’s really encouraging when a guy who has played for Australia does that.”
Although he enjoyed a standout 2015 season that saw his running game earn comparisons to Greg Inglis, Leleisiuao hasn’t forgotten his schooling days in *Woodridge.
“It was good. I remember playing a lot of touch football with my mates,” he said.
Gold Coast Titans under-20s coach Ben Woolf described Leleisiuao as a “super talented kid”.
He said Leleisiuao was “powerful, fast and one of those kids that can score a try”
