SOUTH Sydney rookie Chris Grevsmuhl could join Kiwi Test forward Tohu Harris and win a World Club Championship before making his NRL debut, as the former Cowboys junior closes in on his Rabbitohs dream.
Grevsmuhl was the talk of the Indigenous All Stars team after their shock win on Friday night, with players past and present asking about the 22-year-old Townsville lock forward who had just cut down some of the biggest names in the game.

"At halftime I said 'who is this guy?' He was unbelievable there," Ben Barba said.
"I'm happy he got a try, it's guys like that that aren't talked about a lot but they work their butt off and they don't get a lot of credit."
Grevsmuhl is the man who could inherit the No.13 jersey Sam Burgess carried heroically into last year's grand final.
He was destined for big things at the Cowboys but became "too comfortable" and never took the next step.
Rabbitohs coach Michael Maguire recruited him to Redfern last year and now he is on the verge of selection in their WCC team that departs for England on Sunday.

Harris was the last player to win a world title before NRL debut, playing in Melbourne's 2013 WCC team that defeated Leeds Rhinos.
Grevsmuhl played in last week's Charity Shield and came up with the crucial charge-down and try in the Auckland Nines final that South Sydney won in extra-time.
With Burgess and second rower Ben Te'o now both playing rugby union, Grevsmuhl joins a backrow battle that also includes new recruit Glenn Stewart.

"I think I was quite comfortable (at the Cowboys) and wasn't getting the best out of my ability and I needed to see something new and Madge gave me an opportunity and I want to take it with both hands," Grevsmuhl said.
"There's spaces there (in the team) but I'm just trying to work hard and find a way into the team. I just can't wait for the year."
Indigenous All Stars assistant Wendell Sailor said Grevsmuhl was a player to keep an eye on in 2015.
"I saw him against the Dragons and said 'who is this kid'.
Someone texted me and said he's playing for the Indigenous team, and I'd never heard of him," Sailor said.
"These kids have big futures. That's an international 17 they just beat."
