The way their players are being flogged at training, .....in the heat, "vomit buckets" needed, reportedly, (Mr Abdo is not happy, such things breach NRL's new rules).....they'll be worn out by March, will need a few months rest.
Hopefully we're not training our players like that.

If we sign Hunt only

I see the R1 team list line ups, as something like this

1 Tedesco v Walsh
2 Tupou v Arthars
3 B Smith v Cobbo
4 Nawaqanitawase v Staggs
5 Young v Mariner
6 Sandon Smith v ?
7 Townsend v Reynolds
8 Leniu v Jenson
9 Hunt v Walters
10 Collins v Haas
11 Crichton v Riki
12 Radley v Piakura
13 Watson v Carrigan
14 Moriarty v Mozer
15 Whyte v Hetherington
16 Wong v Baker
17 N Butcher v Willison
18 Toia v Te Kura

Coach Robbo v Madge

Don't think there will be much in this game, I'm expecting us to win by 6 with a large crowd at home.

Not expecting us to win the comp next year while going through a rebuild but our rebuilds still have us finishing in the top 8, see us finishing around 5th or 6th and bowing out in week one or two depending on if we get a fair go from the officials.

I don't think we've lost this level of experience and talent in one hit though, from memory.

I think 1983 when Bob Fulton took half the team to Manly

[Red.]

Losing Cronk, Aubbusson, Cordner, Friend and the Morris twins was quite the hit.

I hope Ezra plays

You're absolutely right.

Belting the Broncos whilst welcoming Madge back to the NRL would be a great way to start the season.

Up The Chooks.

Sandon could be suspended too? In which case something like...

6. Townsend
7. Hunt
...
9. Watson

Also is it possible Rads is 11/12 and Whyte is 13 regardless of what happens? IMO that works well.

The Cronk Mitchell loss was the double torpedo
