This compact beast is known for two things. Contact and scrums. Boldly choosing rugby league considering these factors, he is willing to bounce and flatten anyone in his way. Pretends he’s a bad boy, but has a little giggle and a massive grin almost 90% of the time. Swing low is happy to have him and there’s no better way to send him on his way to China next year than some bashing and crashing.

Since the forwards narrowly won, I have on offer a dynamic back rower hailing from a largely league background. Welcome:

17- James Moultrie
Age- 20
Club- UYRL - University of York Rugby League
Height- 5ft 7
Weight- 85kg

After his beautiful poetry about our Director of rugby this explosive player had to get the nod. Hailing from the glorious town of Stevenage along with 4 of our other players, his accent would put you on the scene of the only way is Essex.
His rugby is characterised by extreme acceleration, feeling like he hits top speed in 5m, and serious collisions. He’s coming back from many an injury but the man has rugby knowledge out of his ears and the physicality and aggression to really back it up.

Ahhhh yes the elusive back three run on. Welcome, you wonderful Human:

24- Oskar Fosberg
Age- 20
Club- UYRL - University of York Rugby League
Height- 5ft 10
Weight- 70kg

Yes, that little fella under there is genuinely a quality rugby player, sportsman and general bloke. He will cycle to training and matches looking like Just William and use his safe hands and quick feet to play a genuine blinder. A football/ rugby juggler this boy has heaps of talent and it’s fantastic to have him in the team.
Kick him a high ball if you dare and watch him in space, we’ll do our best to put him there. He has my permission to chip and chase for days. Before you wonder, no you can’t run over him, yes he will ankle strap you.

What do we need? More forwards! What do they need? Weak shoulders. Hello there:

20 something- Jack Firth
Age- 22
Club- UYRL - University of York Rugby League
Height- 6ft 4
Weight- 90kg

Prepare yourselves for a tale of woe. This big man powering to the try line of League Roses, until what can only be described as a small bear caught him and tossed him into the ground when his shoulder went pop. He hasn’t seen contact since, but that has only made him more desperate to run over some teens to make him feel better in middle age.
Runs hard, breaks hard, tries hard. This man is a carrying threat and loves a bit of contact wherever it can be found. Despite this, he’s a frail old man who’s speciality is pouring 6/10 pints in the YUSU watering holes.
Don’t worry, we’ll look after you.
