10. Sam Christie ║ Luke Burton
11. Patrick Dellit
12. Winston Stanley ║ Kyle Godwin,
13. Chris Tuatara-Morrison ║ Junior Rasolea

Exciting thing is the number of locally produced players.
Burton, Lacey, Godwin, Hardwick, Hoskins, Longbottom, Haining and Hodson.

Also Kane Koteka and Ryan Louwrens are from the local competition.

About a quarter of all players named.

Keep an eye on Adam Coleman, real one for the future. Biig lad.

From all accounts reading the various feeds, the boys played well, Mafi and Rasolea having some big runs and a couple of length of the field try's. Score reflects what they should have done, not sure how good this Tongan invitational team was? Good hit out and hopefully no injuries. Real test starts next week. Lets put the Rebels to sword. Game on!
