Flanno did say he can play 1, 6, or 7 but he is looking at 7 at this stage.

He also clearly sees Kelly as a 6.

I choose Albert Kelly if Robson is at hooker,

effectively it gives us 3 halves on the field at once. On the plays where Robson passes from dummy half rather than running the ball he'll still be alive in the line of attack.

If Robson isn't at hooker I'd put either himself or Townsend in as a conventional halfback.

I choose DeGois at hooker.

I reckon Flanagan may play him at Fullback. I think Flanno was a bit frustrated with Gardner towards the end of the season

Imagine Robson at hooker though, when someone else goes dummy half we'd have a halfback one side of the ruck and a half and five eighth the other side, the opposition's defence would be at sixes and sevens ... well 2 sevens to be exact

The great thing is that this will hopefully put pressure on gards to have a huge summer, and then I feel he will be an outstanding fullback in 2012.

I think he will have a big year next year.

1. Gardaner

6. Kelly/Carney
7. Carney/ Townsend

9. Degois


That is some solid speed and skill by our spine

Reckon Gards will get a lot of confidence playing alongside Carney, our attack is going to be frightening this year

ed: 'next year'

I think Carney and Kelly. Doesn't matter what number is on their backs. I'm sure they'll play left and right, but obviously with the ability to link up on one side. They'll be our two most potent attacking players, it'd be dumb to run with anyone else. They'll have their roles, and again, the number on their backs is arbitrary.
