The final 18-man squad was announced on Monday afternoon, with five Group 11 players named alongside nine Group 10 representatives and four from the Castlereagh Cup.
The match does coincide with Dubbo CYMS’ end of season trip, meaning the Fishies’ best were unavailable. Smith starred for Macquarie in 2016 and he will start in the number nine jersey at Carrington Park on Saturday, with the match to kick off at 3.50pm.
WESTERN: 1 Sam Dwyer, 2 Riccie Arriola, 3 Warren Williams, 4 Jeremy Thurston, 5 Brad James, 6 Dom Maley, 7 Jacob Neill, 8 Brent Seager, 9 Jeremy Smith, 10 Luke Thompson, 11 Simon Osborne, 12 Ben Maguire, 13 Hamish Bryant. Bench: Keelan Bresac, Jack Nobes, Kurt Gudgeon, Greg Beahan, Jarrah McReaddie.
