Five-eighth Corey Norman has again been named to captain the side which will include new signings Nathan Brown, Jamal Fogarty, Josh Hoffman, George Jennings, Suaia Matagi and Marata Niukore.
“The Nines is our first outing for the year and I am pleased that we have been able to introduce some of our new acquisitions so early in the year,” Head Coach Brad Arthur said.
“We also have some of our developing players coming along for their first taste of an NRL like environment.”
“As a squad we are looking forward to the competition and I am sure our members and fans are excited see the players out on the park for the first time in 2017.”
