Launceston expect to add more players to their squad before Friday, according to joint head coach Jon Hill.

The Cornish All Blacks, who are hoping to move straight back to National One after being relegated last term, have begun pre-season training.

"We'll see at least one, and possibly two, new signings revealed this Thursday evening which will complete our permanent recruitment," said Hill.

But Hill says the side may still attain loan or dual-registration players.

The All Blacks had 48 players at their first pre-season session, with most fully fit.

"A few of the senior players are carrying niggles," said Hill. "But we expect everybody to be fully fit and in full-contact training within the next three weeks.

"The only person outside of that is Tom Rawlings, who will be unavailable until December."
