Sellars will line up alongside Kiwi import Kenny Tata in a new-look forward pack and coach Roy Romeo is itching to see how they gel together.

"He's looking pretty good, Kenny. He's really come on in leaps and bounds since he first got here. He's adjusted well," he said.

"I've actually never seen Tom play a game myself but he's one of our best trainers and I've been told plenty about how good a player he is.

"We haven't settled on a side yet so all spots are open at the moment we'll just see who plays well in the trial and who shows up.

"The boys are all pretty keen to finally have a game."

Former Waratah Tigers star Jarrad Williams will play at hooker, pending availability, while Damien Payne has also come to the club from Darlington Point-Coleambally and could be a good value pick-up, Romeo said.

Kodie Charles, David Rauluni and Ben Vitucci will not play on the weekend but will get their chance to impress in next week's Group 20 knockout, which will be played at Yenda.
