A lot of star players in the competition fill the centre positions - as you’ll see tomorrow - and as a result tries for the men occupying the flanks are often few and far between.
But the group listed here are still able to find the line with impressive regularity
Ali Beale and Cody Robbins are two of the fastest in Group 10, helping give CYMS two out-and-out strike weapons, while Alofi Mataele has come of age with Hawks in 2013, scoring nearly a try per game.
Amenayasi Aditagane and Chris Gale are outstanding wingers for Cowra and Panthers respectively who have given their clubs great service.
Only two will make it - who deserves the call up?
THE CONTENDERS
Ali Beale (Orange CYMS): five tries, 12 games.
Has floated across CYMS’ backline this season but has blitzed them on the wing. Natural flair and unrivalled speed make Beale one the Group’s drawcards in 2013.
Alofi Mataele (Orange Hawks): 12 tries, 13 games.
A Western Rams representative following a strong start to the year, Mataele (far left) has been one of Hawks’ best this season. The most reliable winger in the competition.
Cody Robbins (Orange CYMS): three tries, six games.
Arrived back to Orange mid-season after a stint with the Eels and made an instant impact. Represented the Country Bulls on the wing. A true finisher with speed to burn.
Amenayasi Aditagane (Cowra Magpies): six tries, eight games.
A mainstay with the Magpies for the last three season, Aditagane was one of Cowra’s best this season before injury struck. Strong, quick and a stout defender, the Fijian has been missed.
Chris Gale (Bathurst Panthers): six tries, 11 games.
A quiet achiever for the men in black, the only player to cross the stripe more than Gale for the Panthers this season is the great William Kennedy. Has filled a number of positions for the Bathurst club, but is best suited to the flank.
