In the event of us having a fully fit squad for round 1, what would be your team

1 Walker
2 T Briscoe
3 Watkins
4 Hurrell
5 Golding
6 Lolohea
7 Myler
8 Peteru
9 Parcell
10 Singleton
11 Ward
12 Ablett
13 Merrin
14 Oledski
15 Cuthbertson
16 Ferres
17 Dwyer
18th man Crosby

I have a feeling Cam Smith might force his way into the 17. Think your team is about right though. To be honest maybe Crosby for Cuthbo because he’s more direct and we have a ball playing back row.

Handley on wing and sutty will be in 17

I too think that Cam Smith will be a big player for us this season and would be great in a back 3 of himself,Stevie Ward and Merrin

IF Ferres gets match fit I would like to see how he goes playing more in the middle of the park rather than out wide,so I would be tempted to give him a go in the front row to see how he handles this new role

JP made this move from back row to front row successfully so IMO it's worth a try due to the reduced interchanges

Do we think kallum or tui will be kicking this year ?

If everyone's fit hope we go with

Walker
T.Briscoe
Watkins
Hurrell
Handley
Lolohea
Myler
Crosby
Parcell
Singleton
Ward
Ablett
Merrin

Subs
Cuthbertson
Dwyer
Ferres
Peteru

From recent interviews it sounds as if Tui will get 1st crack at being the 1st choice kicker

Providing Watkins is fit and I think he should be by then I would say pretty much the same team as Frosties for me.
If he`s not fit for that game I would go Handley at centre Golding on the wing.

Walker
Briscoe Watkins Hurrell Handley
Lolohea Myler
Singleton Parcell Peteru
Ward Ablett
Merrin

Dwyer Cuthbertson Crosby Ferres- Smith and Oledzski to make up the 19

This is what I'm expecting.

Will be interesting to see what he goes with though and how consistent he is with his choices.

Definately Tui imo at least to start with KW is returning from a big injury.
