Captain Jamie Booth will be on the comeback trail after a knee injury marred his 2020 campaign. Recent Turbos such as wing-fullbacks Adam Boult and Ben Werthmuller and first-five Ben Wyness must play their way in via club rugby. Lively Varsity wing Korie Winters, back from playing for Edinburgh in the Pro 14, deserves a look. There's a glut of young halfbacks.
