6. Scott Grix
7. Danny Brough
8. Eorl Crabtree

EDIT: Little rearranging needed.

You've missed Michael Lawrence out. You've also got 2 Shaun Lunts and no Luke Robinson in your numbers.

However I'm not sure Carvill will get a squad number when he signed the article said he'd signed part time and would play in the reserves. www.giantsrl.com/news/article/96 ... nior-ranks

Knew I'd missed something! #9 is meant to be Luke Robinson, I'll change it.

1. grix
2. jerry
3. leroy
4 wardle
5 george
6 brown
7 brough
8 eorl
9 robinson
10 mason
11 LOD
12 doof
13 fooey
14 lunt

the rest is irrelevant. possibly gilmour having the no. 4 shirt as a nod to his experience.

So we are only playing with 14 players next season?

Im not really too sure to be honest there could be a few changes with squad numbers this year, i think these are nailed on though

2. Jermaine McGillvarry
3. Leroy Cudjoe
5. Luke George
7. Danny Brough
8. Eorl Crabtree
9. Luke Robinson
11. Luke O Donnell

cant see luke george getting no 5 jake, he's only played 17 times in 4years,for me
1 grixy
2 jerry
3cujie
4gilly
5bruno
6 simpson
7broughy
8,9,10,11,12 as jools
13 kev
then the any no. why i think jamie s at 6 can't be so bad 17 trys in 37 games in nrl

next seasons 1 greg eden, 6 scott grix, 7 danny brough, 9 luke robinson, 13 kevin brown, not sure on rest

If that turns out to be right NB must rate Eden extremely highly indeed.

he is impressing in training

grix at 6

dont think hes creative enough for that role

but if nathan brown thinks this is the route to take with kev moving to loose then so be it, see how it goes in the pre season games

Whilst i like the look of that team in an attacking sense i worry about it defensively.

Last season we played LOD at 13 to give us some extra oomph in the pack, very strong and great tackler.

KB is brave but he is no defensive titan and some of Grixys defence could be described as powder puff.

Behind a smaller mobile pack i worry about our ability to defend against bigger teams.

Brough, Brown, Grix and robbo will be targetted by big forwards .If you are knackered by your defensive duties your attack is bound to suffer.

If Chan is taking one second row to attack out wide that leaves us with one second row to provide strength and defence along with two props. Which at the begining of the season will be Mason, Tonks and Walker. When Eorl, Faalogo and LOD are back it will be different

Who will be the fourth prop Patrick or Fooey

You would expect Brown to be playing the 80 mins ala Sinfield i could see them playing a very similar role.

Where does that leave fooey as he was best at loose. If he is hooking then he will be interchange to Robbo. If so where does Lunt play.

I just cannot get my head around the squad at the minute or the likely positions.

Loads of pace, plenty of guile and as NB says a very mobile pack and attack. I just wonder about defence
