WARATAH
GAINS: Josh Claridge (Sydney), Nikethan Radhakrishnan (Sydney), Omer Farooq (Wallsend), Asher Robins (year off), Kayne Bradley (Warners Bay), Harrison Nemme (North Coast).
LOSSES: Nathan Hudson (Uni).
PROGNOSIS: Alex Taylor will lead a new-look team as the Tahs strive to build on last season's 10th-place finish. The recruitment of Josh Claridge after a successful stint with Gordon in Sydney will bolster their batting, while former Wallsend quick Omer Farooq offers strikepower with the ball. T20 runners-up last season, Waratah are entitled to be optimistic about their 2021-22 campaign.
