What a great looking side.
Tom Cant, who was a standout for NSW under 16s 2 years ago has sneaked in at number 17, and Kodi Crowther, our star winger 2 years ago, looks to have missed out.
No Max Bradbury - he must be injured.
Sam McIntyre is a funny name to see. We had a Sam McIntyre in the juniors a few years ago and he has made the Wests Tigers top 30 this year.
Brocco Uhrle is a Qld rep joining the Knights this year.
I count 9 of last year's under 16s side - which should make for a very cohesive side.
I think I'd have Logan Radzievic at fullback and big Chris Vea’ila in he centres. Logan looks more like a modern fullback and Vea’ila is a big, hardrunning centre or winger I think.
