Interesting squad.
The backs look well equipped to have a crack at finals. Not as confident in the forwards.
We might need a big breakout season from a few of the young lads T.Hosea and R.leota could be the ones.?
The props are a lucky dip.. not sure if anyone really stands out as a first choice starter?
Wells is a good get. We might be looking to play him at 6 as isi is a lock in at 8? Options a plenty in the back row..probably a couple too many.
Exciting times ahead
Let’s have a crack at (my) starting team for round one.
1-Gibbon 2-Rangi 3-AInsley 4-Jones 5- Phillip 6- Wells 7-Leota 8- Isi 9- Lomani 10- Deegan 11- Koro 12- Matt T 13- Hodge 14-Kellaway 15-Dhp
Think that will be pretty close to what Dave goes with?
Although I’d guess Gus will start 6/7 and what he does at 10/12/13 is anyone’s guess.
I’ve just noticed round 4 v the Shorks has no confirmed venue. Anyone got any ideas what that’s about?
