BULLS duo Ross Peltier and Jon Magrin have both been confirmed in Jamaica's squad for their 20121 Rugby League World Cup qualifying campaign.
Pelter and Magrin are among the 21 players named by head coach Romeo Monteith for the upcoming Americas Championship.
The University of North Florida in Jacksonville will host two double-header rounds on November 13 and 17.
Jamaica take on Canada in their opener and the winners then faced either hosts USA or Chile.
Former Bull Glen Morrison has joined as part of the Reggae Warriors coaching set-up and Monteith believes the squad is their strongest ever.
“We’ve been preparing for this for two years,” he said. “We’ve brought in professional help in Glen Morrison as manager and Jermaine Coleman as assistant coach.
“We’ve kept a core of UK-based players together for that time, which is key to our strategy to qualify. Parachuting the professional players in every four years has not worked.
“This time around we should see a team that is more cohesive as there’s better chemistry.”
