Campbell Harris will be the Storm's sole representative at under-18 level while the talented Kai Baker is the youngest of Singleton's quintet.
Chelsey Chesworth will fly the flag for the girls while brothers Tamati and Wiremu Edwards will hope to utilise the program ahead of next weekend's Junior State Cup in Penrith.
Singleton Storm under-14s coach Mick Kirkpatrick is no stranger to the Hunter Hornets system having mentored a number of age groups at representative level.
"This weekend they'll be looking for super fit kids that exhibit all the skills (defence and attack), game sense and sheer physical fitness," Kirkpatrick explained.
"You've only got them for a short term so it will be difficult for a club like ours that only has a small amount of representation compared to say Orange who has 40 players and your even bigger clubs like Wallsend and Newcastle.
"I think we lack in representation.
"We only have two members of our under-14 boys team attending this weekend and they "made it to the finals for the state.
"But in fairness the side started poorly and finished excellent.
"So if there were games were there were selectors present we would have graded those games as a C, D or even F while there were games with no selectors nearby where we would have been graded with an A+."
