The Wagga-based side has drawn to tackle Toolmelah Tigers in the first round of the 48th edition of NSW Aboriginal Rugby League Knockout.
Tyson McLachlan is one of the young guns who got a taste of the Knockout last year and can’t wait for the event in Dubbo this weekend.
“It is everything to us,” McLachlan said.
“We’ve all grown up hanging around each other and I’ve grown up watching half of them play so playing alongside brothers, uncles and cousins is everything.”
