Torin Hando's Peak Hill side hasn't been spoken about in the same breathe as the Canowindra Tigers or Trundle Boomers in 2021, but that doesn't mean his Roosters can't be major Woodbridge Cup players this winter.

The skipper, as well as teammates Blaize Fuller and Hayden Robinson, are set to line-up during Saturday's representative game before returning home on Sunday for a match-of-the round candidate against the ladder-leading Tigers.
Not only does Hando think his boys can spark an upset in round six, he thinks the squad is capable of going all the way this season.
"We want to be there at the end... 100 per cent," Hando said.
"It's just the talent we've got and the time we've spent playing with each other.
"With us, sometimes it clicks and sometimes it doesn't, but when it does, we can be top contenders."
Peak Hill held a 21-20 lead over Trundle in round five, before losing to the defending champions in the dying stages.
"We had a few calls go against us and a few of our players didn't agree with it and we just lost our cool," he said.
"Our discipline will play a big part in beating Canowindra this week."
Canowindra coach Kev Grimshaw will be sweating on the availability of five players who are set to back up from the rep game.
Sunday's contest will kick-off at 2pm from Lindner Oval.
