When you look at our squad, I wouldn't want to be a coach.

So many players can play multiple positions.

Looking forward to seeing the final 17 for round one.

It is so nice having some choice in the outside backs....I really hope we can get the forwards offloading well and the halves situation sorted as I think we will have a good ability to score points.

Yep, I think that's a pretty likely lineup. A. Fifita and Gallen will both play big minutes if fit anyways, so the lack of specialist props on the bench is much-of-a-muchness I think. All four bench players can play in the middle.

If Holmes comes into the side, I reckon he'll be named on the wing like last season, and do the switcheroo to fullback every now and again with Gordon. At any rate, the idea that Gordon wouldn't be a good enough winger is nonsense, he made state of origin as a winger and his kicking is worth plenty of points on it's own.

14. Arona
15. Lewis

17. Tupou

So the thought process is, Feki grew up a left centre he has excelled in FG, he should have no issue playing the position he has played most his football in (no doubt Flanno will be looking at how he goes at left centre before chucking him in there) Holmes was good at left wing last season he is going to get better this season no question. Gal to prop seems required given the shortage of props. Arona was bought as a 2nd rower/Prop hopefully he can play as prop. Lewis off the bench, hopefully he pushes his way into the starting team, but he didn't do that on this year's form.

Just really hope Feki gets trialled and does well at centre obviously this gives one of the younger guys with massive potential to be a game changer a position.

Would like to have had Nu off the bench, but the minutes would be like 25-30 minutes, probably not doing him any favours. Probably best for him just to play full games in 2nd grade until he pushes his way in or injuries open up a spot in the 6 or 9.

How good does that side look considering the ones we where forced to run out with this last season. If we sign a good solid 1st grade prop then arona/taga/dfiffs can all via for the 16 jersey between em

Bukuya shouldn't be there either going off last years form.

Been told the way he is training he will be there round 1. We need some weight on the bench. What prop would you run, I guess you could straight swap him for Taga into the team but he has been very uninspiring as of late.

Holmes dropped for SKD if that happens. How is that all going? Looking likely?
