The side will be coached by Lithgow Wolves’ Premier League coach Graeme Osborne and joining him are Wolves’ front rower Chris Rhodes and centre Joel O’Brien.

Rhodes is no stranger to representative rugby league having been a regular in representative sides over the past couple of years.

He has built up a reputation as one of the premier forwards in the Group and will again be one of the side’s mainstays.

It has been a good effort for O’Brien to be named as he has been out of the game for a couple of seasons due to work, injury and travelling commitments.

He has made a successful return and looks as if he has never been out of the game.

His attack and defence will be a major plus for the Group side.

The full side is: Joel O’Brien and Chris Rhodes (Lithgow Workies); Terry Brown, Dane Howarth and Josh Rainbow (Blayney); Ron Lawrence, Blake Tidswell and Jack Nobes (Cowra); Tim Bassman, Kyran Bubb and Ben McAlpine (Orange CYMS); Cody Robbins and Mitch Davis (Orange Hawks); Kirk Roberts (Oberon); Luke Carpenter and Brent Seager (Bathurst Panthers); Demetius Anu, Jack Afamasaga, Tom Lewsley and Corin Smith (Mudgee) and Joe Batchelor, Benjamin John, Luke Newsome and Gary Reilly (St Patricks).
