I know it’s often said the numbers don’t mean anything but surprised Currie is not given 13. I’m going to assume he will still play in that position I mean why wouldn’t he.

Maybe says more about Russell than Currie. I think our strongest back row is as numbered 11-13.

Quite like the look of the squad with lots of young players who have played for the First Team & done OK. It would be good if our reserve team could actually be made up of mainly players from the squad. In the past few years our reserve team has seemed very young & not a true reserve team.

And we've wasted a quota spot on a guy given the 26 shirt.

The fringe players look good, it's our 1-13 I'm worried about. Two slow centres, an unproven 7, props that we all agree need improving on and our best second rower is injury prone. If burgess gets that squad to win a grand final he is an absolute genius!!
