I like the look of stella's.

There is no right or wrong answer though which is good. In the past the best XIII has been sewn up, never mind the XVII. Now even that is uncertain.

Stella, spot on, I would go with that.

It's a decent headache for NB to have with the squad we have now. I'd like to see Drew, Lunt, Faiumu and Grix in the squad somewhere but that's probably not possible until midway through the season when injuries will occur more frequently. I'd like to see someone playing at 13 with a bit of creative flair rather than just another 2nd rower which is where Grix might get a chance to establish himself a certain position instead of a versatility player. Looking at the squad we have now I doubt we'll see Aspinwall playing 2nd row again for the club and his only chance of an appearance will be if we have injuries on the wing.

Couldn't agree more Ponner. Just looking at the various options suggested what stands out is the strength and flexibility of the squad. Here's to another great season whichever combination takes to the field.
