Kelly is a strike centre who can score tries at the drop of a hat and is a big strong young man who is hard to stop.

Rhys Cain is regarded by many as one of the best players in the Woodbridge Cup competition. With a dynamic attacking game and rock solid defence makes Rhys the complete footballer.

Long serving players Andrew Pull and George Delaney have generously agreed to take on the club coaching duties for 2007.

Pull now into his ninth season and Delaney into his 19th season have a total of 26 years of playing for the Tigers and have played well over 400 games between them.

Both men have always worn the Canowindra Jersey with pride and been committed to their team mates.

With a wealth of experience in both codes they are excited about the upcoming season.

"I believe this season will be a great opportunity for Craig Hogan to cement himself as a star of the game and new young players like big second rower Andrew Dunkley and blockbusting outside back Shaun Craven will have great seasons.

"It is great for the older guys in the club to have enthusiastic young players coming through the ranks," Andrew Pull said.

Likewise George Delaney is very pleased with the young players but is looking for more commitment from the squad as a whole.

"Over the last few seasons we have had plenty of players register with the Tigers only to see a number quit half way through the season which is quite expensive to the club and a let down to their team mates.

"This year we are looking for a smaller, more committed squad. A squad that will see the entire season out," George Delaney said.

The coaching staff will be joined by local identity Doug Rice to assist with training on Wednesday and Friday nights.

Doug is well known for his training with Rugby League players and also his fitness training for swimming and various other sports.
