The team will be led by Wanderers inspirational captain Anton Saltmere, who led from the front all year for his champion side.

Whenever they needed someone to take a hit-up, make a tackle or create something out of nothing, he would put his hand up.

The halves pairing of Corey Moseley and Travis Fraser combines the skill and flair of Moseley with the patience and timing of Fraser.

Out wide, the team has speed to burn with Matt and Myron Toby on the wings, and Wanderers pair Corey Carlson and Saltmere providing some size.

The forward pack is massive with strong foot speed, led by Normanton’s Shannon Aplin and Wanderers duo Donald Simmons and Terry Cook.

John Ellis proved all year long that he is the best hooker in the Mid-West competition, so his speed and strength will be a much-needed commodity to the side.

On the bench, the side possesses plenty of diverse qualities that will help the side with Les Henry’s experience, BJ Baillie’s flair, Nathan Giles’ consistency and Joel Wilson’s utility value.

Wanderers winning coach Alan Baillie will have the task of implementing plays and structures for this team to flourish, which he proved he can do all season.
