See the proof footy legend Billy Slater's teenage son has the talent to follow in his dad's footsteps
Billy Slater's son, Jake, has been branded a 'chip off the old block' after showcasing his skills during an U15s match this week. Jake was representing Victoria during the Australian Secondary Schools Rugby League Championships during their Pool B clash against the Northern Territory. The side ran out a 26-10 victory against their opponents, having previously beaten West Australia in the competition but were defeated by the First Nations Goannas on Monday. The win saw Victoria advance to the final of the competition, which will be played on Friday. Victoria were leading Northern Territory 20-10 heading into the final two minutes of the match and had advanced their way up to Northern Territory's try line. Jake received the ball off the back of a ruck 10m out and faked a dummy pass out wide, sending multiple Northern Territory defenders off-balance. The young footy player then cut back inside off his right foot and showed his acceleration to dart past one advancing defender before sliding down across the whitewash, showing shades of his NRL great dad. SHADES OF HIS FATHER: Jake Slater (son of Billy Slater) showed some great footwork and a good step before crossing for a try at the U15s National Champs Slater has been key in directing traffic in attack and helped guide Victoria to the Championship Final on Friday @zerotackle — Ethan Lee Chalk (@EthanLeeChalk) July 1, 2025 Members of his team surrounded him in celebration as his side would go on to seal a 26-10 victory, while others online also lauded the youngster and his team-mate. 'Love seeing the next generation shine!' one wrote on X. 'Jake's got that Slater magic - great vision and footwork just like his dad. Big future ahead.' 'Chip off the old block that Jake,' another said. His dad, Billy, enjoyed a glittering career in footy's top flight, scoring 191 tries for the Melbourne Storm, winning two premierships with the side across his 15-year playing career. Slater now turns his attention to next week's State of Origin decider, as Queensland look to wrestle back the shield from New South Wales. Slater has handed a shock Origin recall to 33-year-old Josh Papalii, a move that has raised a lot of eyebrows around the NRL world. The Raiders star last played for the Maroons in 2022, but Slater believes he still has the fire to help his side win the series. 'It's probably something that I've had in the back of my mind for a couple of years now, in particular this year, the way that Big Papa has been playing for Canberra and the performances he's been putting in,' Slater said. 'I spoke to Papa a couple of days ago and the response was pretty much where my head was at, which was fantastic. 'It just shows you that he's still got that fire to play for this footy team, he's got that fire to represent the people of Queensland and he's got that fire to go out and do a good job for his state, so I was pleased to hear that. 'He's got an aura about him, he's a real warrior and has been for this footy team for a long time.
