I find it thought provoking how close you propose the barker vs New game- this will be fascinating.

With regards Knox I feel an obliteration coming on.

Aloys vs Stannies is 50/50 I reckon, can I get some thoughts from everyone else on this matchup?
I think both sides are very strong this year and it will be very interesting to see how this plays out. As New had a strong 16as last year, and now Barker have lost some key players who have graduated. I still think Barker will win, but it will be a great game.

Yes your right as long as they can start building from the ground up there should only be improvement. Going to be a test to see how the young ones hold up this week
I hear they may be moving last weeks winger to halfback in order to move down the halfback and fullback down to the 2nds. Allowing for the 2nds fullback to come up and 16a's winger

Last year Stannies had strong wins in the 1sts, 2nds and 16As, so suspect the bookies would have Stannies as favourites for this weekend.

Rubbish, why would they ever move a speedy winger to halfback? And what other fullback would replace the 1XV one?

The speedy winger you talk about, use to play halfback, this is his first year playing wing. The fullback on the other hand could be replaced by just about anyone, I hear they are thinking of moving up the 2nds fullbacks, as I had previously stated.

wow will most of them be back for the start of CAS? If they can pull off an upset win over view with thag many injuries it would be a massive result

Can confirm that the Waves do have 7 players out this weekend but 2 of them will be out all season, Tino Tavana doesn't qualify because he turns 19 this year, and Zion has a shoulder issue that may well mean he is out all season. The other 5 are experienced players BUT their replacements are quite capable, and therefore NO excuses v View this weekend. Exactly why teams need depth.

These 5 players will be back shortly long before the CAS season, maybe next week in most cases.
