USA, Jamaica and South Africa have announced their 30-man squads for October's 2013 Rugby League World Cup Atlantic Qualifiers in Philadelphia.
While the hosts and the men from the Caribbean can call on players with Super League and NRL experience, the South African Rhinos are exclusively drawn from their domestic competition, with Tuks Bulls from Northern Gauteng having the most representatives.
The Tomahawks are trying to qualify for their first ever World Cup and Head Coach Matthew Elliott has called on Castleford Tigers' utility Ryan McGoldrick who is one of one of eight players remaining from their 2007 qualifying semi final when they went down to Samoa, the others being Curtis Cunz, Louis Tulio, Matt Petersen, David Myles, Tyrone Coppedge, Mark Cantoni, and David Marando. Parramatta's Joseph Paulo, who is in the squad, was playing for Samoa in that match. Jacksonville's Apple Pope retains the captaincy while Kelly McGill, Jayson Rego, Johua Rice and Nate Smith are former College Football players with the University of Hawaii and the University of Louisville.
"We have had a good preparation, which started some time ago but really began to take shape when I visited Hawaii to develop team systems and player evaluations with the staff," said Elliott. "I know the players are keen to do well and I am very excited about the tournament and the challenges we will face," he added. He will have Marcus Vassilakopoulos and Shane Millard as his assistants.
The headline inclusion for the 'rugby reggae' boys is Wigan's Karl Pryce who has spent the season on loan with Harlequins, while young Leeds winger Jamal Chisholm has twice been accorded the British game's 'fastest man' title in sprint challenges. Champions Duhaney Park Red Sharks and Grand Finalists Vauxhall Vultures provide five men each, Lamont Bryan of Harlequins adds experience to the pack and there is outstanding pace throughout the squad.
Jamaica Head Coach Dean Thomas noted, "I have been able to monitor the continued personal development of the players in their club environment. 2011 has seen a marked improvement in all of them and the squad has a good balance of experience and youth. Hunslet's Waine Pryce is an ideal calming influence and there is the enthusiasm of the likes of Corey Hanson of Sheffield Eagles who at 18 has had a great break through year. All the players are extremely excited about the prospects of playing in a World Cup."
South Africa have concluded a lucrative three year sponsorship deal with Steeden as they begin their campaign and they will also carry the legacy project "rhinoforce" on their shirt as part of a drive to raise awareness of the plight of the endangered Rhino. Their coach Steven van Zyl is confident that, although being an unknown quantity, his charges can make an impact. "We have some players playing league internationally but the squad that we currently have, have been together for a while, so they understand each other," he said.
"We had a long chat with them and explained that we're confident with them, now all they have to do is go out and perform on the field. Although we have a relatively inexperienced team in terms of international games, we do have a very good mix of brawn and intelligence. We have played against some strong touring teams and the guys have acquitted themselves brilliantly at all times."

Source: www.panthers.com.auThe Panthers have today announced a four year extension to the contract of Sam McKendry to the end of 2015.
Not off contract until the end of 2011, McKendry has shown himself to be a player of huge potential and was last week named in the train on squad the Kiwis. His signing further adds to the potent front row over the coming years of Civoniceva, Grant and Bell.
"Sam is a player who is becoming more and more noticed," CEO Michael Leary said. "It was important to us to keep him at the club long term - he provides a lot of go forward for the team."
McKendry isn't the only player who has agreed to stay on with Leary announcing Joseph Paulo will stay at the club beyond this year.
Paulo, a Penrith junior from the St.Clair club has signed for the 2011 and 2012 seasons.
