The Orange Army will get to witness the first game for the Taipans, with the long-awaited return of Scott Machado and Cam Oliver while Next Star Mojave King, Jordan Ngatai and development player Jordan Hunt will officially suit up in orange.

Melbourne will play their stacked roster, with American import Scotty Hopson and Australian Boomer Jock Landale alongside Chris Goulding, Mitch McCarron and Jack White.
