Jaxson Paulo made his NRL debut in 2020, playing for the Rabbitohs before moving to the Roosters in 2023 and eventually switching to the Sea Eagles ahead of the 2024 season.
Andrew Paulo made an impassioned plea on Facebook, writing: “Please I’m asking anyone in the community and the NRL community to share this post.
“My kids wore and played in these jerseys in some monumental times of their lives. These are priceless to our family and the sentimental value has caused huge sadness for me and my wife.
“I would ask the thieves or anyone who has seen or know the whereabouts of the jerseys to kindly return them or leave them somewhere they can be returned to us.
