‘I think I’m getting used to it’: Egan all smiles after maiden try….<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Warriors young gun Luke Egan couldn’t wipe the smile off his face after scoring his first NRL try in the side\u2019s gritty 20-14 win over the Sharks on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old five-eighth, thrust into the starting role due to injuries, crossed in the 28th minute, slicing through Cronulla\u2019s edge defence off a well-timed short ball from Shaun Johnson.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI think I\u2019m getting used to it now,\u201d Egan laughed post-match. \u201cThe pace, the pressure \u2014 it\u2019s a different level, but moments like that make it all worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was a confidence-boosting moment for the former Junior Kiwi, who only debuted earlier this season but has been praised for his composure and rapid development.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Coach Andrew Webster was glowing in his assessment: \u201cHe\u2019s tough, smart, and getting better every week. That try was just reward for the effort he\u2019s been putting in behind the scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Egan\u2019s teammates mobbed him in celebration, a sign of the tight-knit culture at the Warriors.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With his confidence soaring and combinations forming, Egan looks set to retain his spot in the halves as the Warriors continue their push for a top-eight finish.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis club\u2019s backing me,\u201d he said. \u201cI just want to repay that trust every week.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
