Team
1 Erik Hollingsworth: Exciting young Fullback with attacking flair and kicking ability
2 Trent Williams: A young winger who looks set to become a star.
3 Mark O'Halloren: Pacy Centre who can find the line with any opportunity
4 Michael Outteridge: A thoughtfull player who can create opportunities where none seem to exist.
5 Marc Stcherbina: Possibly the most exciting prospect in the jesters backline. Possesses a side step that leaves the best defenders clutching at thin air and the ability to charge through multiple defenders.
6 Ken Dedds Pargi: Creative player who can find a gap.
7 Paul White: The most exciting prospect to come from the Huddersfield Giants this season. A deceptive player who is developing all the skills. Already has a great step, kicking ability, can read the play and has more pace than anyone else in the side.
8 Frederic Teixedo: a reliable player who has spent a season in the Harlequins line up. Will be looking to win back his place in the top squad.
9 David March: Team captain who is a remarkable defender, and has enough playmaking ability to shift to halfback, goalkicking ability also makes David an invaluable part of this team.
10 Ali Luakai: An up and coming prop who needs to work on his attack. Defensive workhorse who will produce some bone jarring tackles as the season goes on.
11 Brorten Levy: Another player relegated from the top squad. His experience should prove valuable in a young side
12 Tim Horan: A late addition to the side who will prove his worth throughout the season in the second row, centre or at prop.
13 Stuart Webb: Forced to play out of position due to David March, Webb will make lock his home as the season wears on look for him to play a strong role in many games.
14 Vaine Keno Promising prop looking to improve throughout the season.
15 Monah Elahmad: A player who will figure in most games this season has played rep football for Lebanon but injury decimated his career last season and this year he looks to come back form.
16 Owen Craigie: Unlucky not to be the starting 5/8 Craigie will add depth and talent to the bench.
17 Andrew Coridin: Possibly the sides best utility Andrew will look to find a starting place as the season progresses.
Kyle Warren: Young lock looking to make his name.
Julian Rinaldi: A 5/8 with a very crafty kicking game. Attack and defense need to improve through the season but he will definitely make his mark in the game.
Luke Isakka: Second rower who will need to show much improvement before entering the side. Has showed glimpses of promise but need time tio mature.
Jake Lamia: a second rower with a creative kicking game. Needs to improve his defense to have an impact in the game.\
Victor Akiba: Young japanese centre who has great Goalkicking ability. Will feature if he improves his attack.
Grahem Cartwright: Another Brilliant Goal kicker who needs to improve his defense. Will probably get a start on the wing throughout the season.
Trey Matthews: A fullback with an artful kicking game. He needs some improvement in attack before making the starting side.
Ray Daher: A good utility who will always vie for a bench spot. Potentially a wing, or centre prospect who could be used in the halves at a pinch.
