Exactly he needs to prove he has the form to regain the shirt.
Crosby needs to prove he is worth a place also.

Well, Russell confirmed in the number 5 shirt and Hughes at 12 in the squad numbers for 2018.

I guess it’s clean slate time indeed and the chance for them to show Price they can be better than what we’ve seen.

The number 24 shirt is still vacant and I wouldn’t be too surprised to see either Pomeroy or another power forward there early in the season. There is almost certainly some cap space available and my guess is that Price is gauging the squad early season and seeing who he’ll be keeping for the following season. Any weak areas can then be shored up by recruiting in-season with the cap space we have. I think we’ll see a hard running forward and a winger if Russell or Mitch Brown don’t solve our left wing issues (I don’t expect to see Russell on the right outside Goodwin for this season). I hope Lineham can get motivated and sharpen up so we can see his real talent. He’s got one more year to reflect his trabsfer fee value.

Squad numbers suggest BMM will indeed play 13 - although that's not always a reliable gauge.

Still hoping No. 24 has been reserved for a deputy to Clark.

Interesting to see Taylor Prell at #26. The squad does look small compared to last year. I thought 12 left last year & I can only count 5 replacements & 2 moving up from the lower team.

Hopefully Prell is given a chance to play, or else was a pretty pointless signing by the board.
