| When is it due to be named? Normally the train on squad is announced with the Grand Final players added afterwards.
Really hope that Bennet looks past the "disciplinary" issues and picks Liam Watts

I'd have Watts in my team every day of the week. Against the Aussies you need that man who doesn't care for reputations and is gonna get in their face and rattle them whoever they are. I think Watts is that man

| I think Watts is the best prop in SL. But I don't want him to try & prove he his harder than the opposition. He needs to play the same game he does for Hull, but if it kicks off, he is straight in. Similar to how Jamie Peacock played it.

| Watts is a must. I would also include Bowden. Not sure about Taylor? I feel Walmsley may struggle for fitness with the heat in Australia so we need a pretty mobile pack.

Watts discipline is awful and i'm not talking about is yellow or red cards this season. He gives too many penalties away and in some cases they have been converted into points to secure the game.
If he cut out the silly penalties then he should be an international imo.

| Watts, Taylor and Walmsley all should be in for my money but I can't see that happening because I doubt Bennett will look past the Burgess twins or Heighington.
I'm really hoping to see James Roby in. He's been in great form recently.

Gareth Widdop won NRL Stand Off of the year. With Gale winning man of steel, that’s awards for both our half backs.

Hodgson has been very good at times, average/poor at others but that looked to be as much as trying too hard as anything else, Canberra were off the pace a lot this year compared to last, he is still our best at 9 for me and the fact he is settled out there now makes him a safe bet.
Whitehead has looked very good whenever i seen Canberra and should go well.

True.hopefully our pack can lay a platform and give them a chance.

Agree. Whitehead will definitely be in the second row with Sam Burgess, quality player.
