The NRL NT has selected their extended representative squad featuring some of the best players from the local competition to take on the Combined Affiliated States Championships.
The Darwin Brothers, who currently sit atop the ladder, are the best represented club with 17 players selected for the squad that will travel to Melbourne for the September 27-29 comp.
Among them is the league’s leading try scorer Isaac Seden-Kurnoth and Darcy Holmes, who has become a club favourite for both his tackling and carrying abilities.
Last year’s Frank Johnson medal winner Caleb Niki is in the side from the Brethren too, and is sure to slot into whichever position he’s called to.
Another league best and fairest in Matthew Goodfellow, from the Litchfield Bears, has been called upon to coach the outfit when they head down south.
His club Litchfield is also well represented with their trio of impressive try scorers Julius Appo, David Jacobson and Jake Flanagan all up for selection for the travelling side.
Nightcliff’s Trey Crowley and Sharks’ Jacob McCarthy are likely to be in contention for the main group too after their stellar performances in club land so far this season.
