Really strong squad on paper, with multiple options all over the park. Which will obviously allow CC some rotation this year compared to last.
Personally I'd have Jowitt starting over Grix. Saying that he's going to learn so much about the nuances of playing the FB position from Grix, that you only get with experience and no doubt he'll be a better player come the end of the season because of it. Also a bit of healthy competition never hurt anyone. No doubt Grix will get plenty of game time though.
The other position that could be up for discussion, is whether MCB is a better wing the BJB. I know MCB has been touted as a but i can't remember seeing him play there personally, so can't say if he's better than say Arundel & Gibson. We know the lads one of the fastest players in the League but can he put his winger away, we'll see. Great position to be in whatever way you look at things
