Not so sure on Handley at centre.... he's a winger full stop. Think this could be our achilles heal.. and Newman has to improve his performances otherwise we could struggle with strike plays. As others have said, we need a top centre and a hard running 2nd rower.. I feel optimistic for the season, but ready to be dissapointed at the same time...

Probably a year early for him, but BA spoke highly of Ben Littlewood as a second row prospect. If he and Gannon kick on we could be well covered there for years.

Littlewood has a lot of athletic ability, and with a bit more size on him he’s got a lot going for him. If he doesn’t break through this year he will next. Very handy prospect indeed.

[quote="christopher":2kh6lct6]To be fair, Connor is one of the most inconsistent players going! He’ll ned to show more than a decent game in a friendly to nail down a spot[/quote:2kh6lct6] He doesn't make anywhere near as many mistakes as Miller. Miller will be first choice FB, but I think we'd all agree that he needs to up his game from last season.

Blease confirming O'Connor likely missing till round three or four.
