A versatile forward who defends well, runs the ball hard and is not afraid to get his hands dirty.
Lachie Hinselwood (City)
The determined lock is a natural leader who works hard.
Aside from his physical play his other greatest asset is his ability to organise his fellow forwards making sure his team maintains its shape and structure.

The dynamic back, who recently signed a deal with Brisbane Broncos, is athletic and exciting to watch.
Has speed to burn and can break a defence open in the blink of an eye.

Flying with the Gatton Hawks in TJRL since under-6s, Cole is a typical country league star.
He works hard on both sides of the ball and gives 100 per cent of himself in every game.

The gun fullback loves his footy is confident under the high ball and a real attacking threat.
Laythan Potter (Country)
The type of forward every coach wants in their pack.
Potter is aggressive, runs hard and will be relied on to lay down the attacking platform for his side.

A talented young playmaker who can line up at hooker or halfback.
He has the vision and skill to expertly steer his team round the field.
