Until the season starts the Squad numbers are just numbers - Terry Campese is not in the 1-17, it means nothing. The only thing that matters is the side that Chris Chester put out, and that they are competitive! With the number of new faces we have the major concern is how long will we take to gel?

I would love for us to click from game one and turn Leeds over - this would definitely put down a marker for the season. I don't expect it to happen, but with the speed and talent recruited into the backs - I would write it off either!

It's going to be an interesting year!!

He has a twisted testicle.

Stan I hope you are trying to be being jovial rather than trying to make a serious point.

Terry Campese played 19 NRL games in 2014 despite being dropped when available for selection for the final 5 rounds. He played 17 NRL games in 2013. His horror injury seasons were 2011 & 2012.

The big issue with Campese isn't his current state of health it is whether he can ever be the player he was prior to his run of injuries of 2011 and 2012.

Any player can get injured at any time but your implication that Campese will inevitably be injured from round 1 or soon after is nothing more than self indulgent mischief making.

Terry Campese is a gamble of course. Even the very best players - and he does fall into that category -rarely fall into decline and than come back better than ever. That's a serious question mark. But not your ridiculous suggestion that immediate season ending injury is inevitable.

Jovial? Stan? More like

I am liking laughing at Stan's pessimism, although I do share it with less fervour.

Mainly I like laughing at Stan because he invariably has the upper hand on me.

He has really greasy hair though and a lisp.

And I have great hair, possibly beyond great.

I wath being perfectly serwios. Gweasy hair? how vewy dare you...
