The squad was selected following their participation in a training camp attended by 60 boys from 45 different towns across NSW at Narrabeen on Sydney's northern beaches in November, 2019.
NSW Blues coach Brad Fittler attended the camp and helped put the participants through skills and drills along with NSWRL player development manager Colin Sanctuary and Ian Naden, Dennis Moran, Ronny Gibbs and Nathan Blacklock.
