In the segment, hosted by NRL legend Brad “Freddy” Fittler, a chosen footy player throws rugby balls at a target and the two boys must then collect them as quickly as possible so that he can keep throwing.
Keen Bulldogs fan Thomas, 10, said he was really excited when he found out he would be on the show and hoped to keep a ball at the end of the game.
Also on his wish list was, “Not getting hit in the head (and) not getting the ball thrown at me,” he said.
Meanwhile, his brother Jack, 7, a Roosters fan himself, said he was really happy to be appearing on the show and was looking forward to being on TV.
The show will air live at 11am Sunday morning on Channel Nine.
