The squad was defeated by a Manly Sea Eagles’ junior side at Dubbo earlier this month in the players first match together for the season and Sunday’s clash with the Eels Senior Talent Squad will be played at Blayney.
Six Dubbo-based players made the cut, including CYMS halves Matt Burton and Bayden Searle while Macquarie gun Luke Gale will line up in the second row.
Fishies Jack Davis and Jackson Bonham-Phair and Gale’s Raiders teammate Blaine Gordon round out the Dubbo contingent.
Twelve of the 18 players selected in the Cameron Greenhalgh-coached side ply their trade in Group 11, with Nyngan’s NSW Country representative Clayton Couley another standout.
Sunday’s match kicks off at 12pm at Blayney’s King George Oval.
