Case has been named in the Group 10 under 18 rep side while Miller will take his place in the President’s XIII.
Miller is no stranger to representative rugby league having toured Papua New Guinea last year where he was one of the stars of the tour.
It is a good effort by Case to make the side as he missed a large portion of last year with an injury, but has really hit top form in the opening rounds of this year’s competition.
The pair will join Wolves’ other Group 10 reps Joel O’Brien (senior side) and Mallory Goodman, Tahlia Nugent, Chrissy West and Maddy Bender (Group 10 Oz League).
Reports and photos of the girls and O’Brien have been featured in a previous edition of the Mercury.
The Group 10 sides have a real Lithgow flavour about them with the senior Group 10 side being coached by Wolves’ premier league coach Graeme Osborne while Anthony Boza has been named as the Oz League representative side.
Osborne is recognised as one of the best coaches in the land and has coached at the highest levels, building up a very good record with the various sides he has mentored.
Boza brings experience to the girls side having been the Wolves’ inaugural Oz League coach and has a good background in tag having been a member of the winning first division side in this year’s competition.
“We are really happy with all our representatives,” Osborne said.
“Especially Nic and Mitch, they are outstanding young players and have a real future in the game.
“Both are whole hearted players who boast a lot of skill, power and speed.
“They train hard, listen to advice and it will not be long before they are up in the senior representative side.
