Rob, your team selection looks about right for me too, both starting 13 and interchanges.
One interesting selection for Lam will be whether he goes for Charnley over Briscoe.
New additions to the squad, as we know, are being currently being mooted, especially in the prop position. It will be interesting to see whether the rumoured 2-3 additions materialise before the start of the season or whether they are drip-fed to the squad after the season starts, just as happened to great effect in the season just gone.
Squad wise I suspect we will need a bigger squad this year than last. We were lucky then with injuries, in general, and also with good discipline and modest player suspensions and we cannot guarantee the same will happen again this coming season. Then again, we need the right calibre reinforcements not just journeymen to make up the numbers.
Despite this we have a very good core squad and some good SL quality players are going to be sitting in the stands on match days watching the game having not been selected. What a change this will be!
Luke Thompson is contracted to the Bulldogs until the end of the 2023 season, however can negotiate with clubs for 2024 only, unless agreed by his club to release him beforehand. Luke did say he had unfinished business at the Bulldogs, so I can’t see him going anywhere this coming season.
