Although club president Rick O'Connell has reservations about the coronavirus hit season, he said there was still interest at Greenfield Park.
"We have spoken to players and they are keen," O'Connell said.

"I know other clubs are a bit like us in that they are not overly enthusiastic so it will be interesting to see what comes out of it. If nothing definitive is decided, we will probably train next week to see what our numbers are like."
Group Nine has been left with only eight first grade sides following the withdrawal of Cootamundra and Temora.
Bulldog president Stephen Howse said the situation was untenable for his club.
"It was unanimous and we explored every avenue of playing but in the end I think we've made the right decision for us," Howse said.
