Pretty happy with that as a squad and am assuming that williams will play from the off and that finn retained his shirt on back of consistent performance last year

Good 1-17 and cover in just about every position plus a few of the young guys getting a squad number

Roll on boxing day

I can't believe everyone is getting so angry about squad numbers. They matter not one bit.

I hope we dont line up like that. Hopefully B Tupou is considered a right hand side player and Johnstone on the left.

if A.Topou is not playing why don't they just announce it! he is contracted for this season

I'm a bit surprised at Williams, thought he'd be 7.

Full of surprises. All negative.

I'm taking the numbers with a pinch of salt atm. There's no way we've brought him over here to not play SH. Pus I also think MCB will be in our starting line up and Finn will be more than likely playing hooker with Wood.

How is that negative

Good squad strength with the ability to bring more in if needed (mc said recently that we are looking but nothing that suits is out there) quietly confident that if we keep injuries to a minimum we will have a good year.

You can be a whining git, however not on this occasion IMO.

Thanks for that Gok.

Just if we actually end up with the numbers reflecting our 1st choice starting 13. Grix and Tupou in it at the expense of Arundel and Jowitt or example.
