The first squad will be named soon.
it will be comprised of players from the 2014 U16 Men national championships (and others born in 1999 & younger)
Names of note (in order of top 4 team finish);
Joel Rauch (NSWC)
Kyle Zunic (NSWC)
Lachlan Dent (NSWC)
Matur Maluach (NSWC)
William Howell (NSWC)
Patrick Bines (VICM)
Aidan O'Carroll (VICM) picked up an injury part way through the week.
Christopher Cagle (VICM)
Dragan Elkaz (NSWM)
Chol Adup (NSWM)
Kevin Achampong (NSWM)
Aaron Waban (NSWM)
others of note;
Ky Matthews-Hampton (SAC)
Tom Fullarton (QLDS) - good size
Samson Froling (QLDN) - brother of Harry
Biar Garang (SAM) - super athletic, needs intensive development = CoE, now.
Deklan Crook (SAM)
William Cooper (ACT)
Marko Vekic (VICC)
Max Scott (SAC)
Mitchell Squire (SAM)
Jamie Hepburn (WAM) - Height, which is needed in the group
Bailey Boag (TAS)
nucleus of a good solid group, not a lot of top end height (we will need to actively look for height, not sure what year Daniel mading & Mayan Kiir are?)
Not any standout talents just yet, at this stage of development they will need intensive development to repeat the feats of the last two U17 groups.
get these guys into the CoE
Tom Fullarton
Samson Froling
Biar Garang
Dragan Elkaz
Chol Adup
Kevin Achampong
Joel Rauch
Aidan O’Carroll
Agree with a few of these. Some don't have bodies to compete at world championship level though. Garang is an interesting one. Definately needs to get to COE ASAP.
looks a significantly weaker age group than our last two U17 cohorts... I think the next two U19 world championships in 2015 and 2017 will be exciting for AUS. both are shaping up as strong groups of players

Excuse my ignorance , is it only every 2 years ? or what about 2015.
Yep It is - so some very talented kids just miss out on 17s and have to wait til 19s.
