Id say there is little chance that both Nic White and Ian Prior on the field at the same time since both are scrum halves and there is no real backup.
Holmes and Coleman can play there and Id say Holmes is the frontrunner at this stage.

Is White the likely goal kicker?

Holmes was looking good on saturday against in the J.I.D in terms of goal kicking and directing play. Having watched him on the weekend, and also on the TV with the Shute Shield, he certainly looks like a player that could give super 15 a crack.
Robbie is more of a runner than a ball player however - having known/watched him for years, I'd like to see him play in the centres or full back and make use of his explosive acceleration and stepping. That said, I'm sure he would be more than able to play 10, and do a great job.

Nic White and Robbie Coleman have some good history between them won 3 championships with the Queanbeyan Whites and played together for U/20 Australian teams. I think they'll fire up togther very well rather quickly... Dont underesteate Coleman he is a very good footballer... these lads know each others game... and Robbie has played some matches with McCabe outside him also...
true, but he is a big step down in demonstrated form from Lealiifano. It is a massive loss.
Coleman and Holmes are good players but neither is the physical threat that Lealiifano was this year.

Colemen 12 for some games last year , McCabe played 12, 13 14 last year... White/Coleman combo goes back to Brumbies academy days and John Dent Cup.

At Queanbeyan he was at 10 I believe. He was also 10 for the Australian Schoolboys.

I'm just saying he's been out of school for a couple of years and the highest level he's player 10 is JIID

To be fair, that's where Jesse Mogg was playing last year...
But I'm not sure if Coleman is suited to 10 at this level anyways, but we'll wait and see who Jake goes with...
My pick would be Holmes...

Coleman would go alright, but i've always seen him as a centre. His strength is his ball running ability, where he can use his footwork and pace. At flyhalf I think he'd get cramped up and start to crab across field.
I think we should go with Holmes, as he's also a great goalkicker.

Agreed.
Coleman is potentially prone to Giteau style crabbing...
Unlike Giteau (in his later years), Coleman does have the acceleration and speed to then step through defenders...
