We’ll bring you each round’s team lists in one place and breakdown the key points for each line-up in what is shaping up as a massive year of rugby league.
GROUP 10, ROUND ONE:
Saturday, April 8:
OBERON TIGERS v ORANGE HAWKS
TIGERS: 1 Blake Fitzpatrick, 2 Dan Qoriniasi 3, Abel Lefaoseu, 4 Jackson Brien, 5 Matt Ballinger, 6 Luke Branigan, 7 Anton Wereta, 8 Ryan Verderlin, 9 Luke Carptener, 10 Jake Dawe, 11 Mike Ingwerson, 12 Trent Rose, 13 Dave Sellers, 14 Nathan Booth, 15 Blake Miller, 16 Cody Godden, 17 Brian Maher.
COACH: Luke Branighan.
HAWKS: 1 Ethan Harris, 2 Jordan Baker, 3 Viane Falaniko, 4 Jedd Kennedy, 5 Caleb Lewis, 6 Willie Heta, 7 Jake Blimka, 8 Sia Naomi, 9 Bobby Brown, 10 Sione Tongia, 11 Jack Aumuller, 12 Nathan Potts, 13 Brett Morgan; 14 Jordan Dwyer, 15 Sam Coyte, 16 Hina Farrow, 17 Glen Maxwell.
COACH: Willie Heta.
REFEREE: Dale Harding.
NOTE: Plenty to like about the Oberon line-up with massive rapts on Verderlin in the frontrow. Trent Rose and Jackson Brien were dynamic for the Tigers’ left edge last winter too – ones to watch. No Ethan McKellar is a blow for Hawks, but Nathan Potts’ return a timely boost.
