    Similar build to Matt King, can be used as a line-runner in the Monaghan/King mould near the line, doesn't have to be risked under the high ball anymore when a more accomplished player like Phil Graham can do that.

    That means that for the first time in a long time, we have two wingers with extensive (albeit injury prone) playing experience in Minichiello and Graham. Carney will spark creativity and support our halves from fullback. The big question mark is our two fullback/winger-cum-centres SKD and Perrett - we still aren't sure of their transition. But luckily, we have guys like Ryan Williamson, JP Du Plessis, Tom Symonds, Mitch Aubusson, Kane Linnett and Aiden Guerra ready to fill in.

    Our pack looks fine, our bench looks fine (both Jones and Kouparitsas have utility value), our wingers look fine (injury-permitting) and our halves are pretty much established. The question marks are the centres and fullback - mainly because none of them are really accustomed to their positions yet.
    Good to see you are now preferring Graham on the wing. He is a finisher.

    If SKD can learn to catch, pass, hold on to the ball, read in defence and give away less penalties he may make a centre.

        - SKD to centre
        - Graham to wing
        - Carney to fullback
        - Koops to hooker
        - Conn training at lock

        I am expecting us to see:

        1. Carney
        2. Minichiello
        3. Kenny-Dowall/Williamson
        4. Perrett
        5. Graham
        6. Anasta
        7. Pearce

        8. Ryles
        9. Aubusson
        10. Paea
        11. Cherrington/Guerra
        12. Myles
        13. Aubusson/Conn

        14. Kouparitsas/Jones
        15. Symonds
        16. Waerea-Hargreaves/Kennedy
        17. Nuuausala
        If that ends up being the backline, we won't make the 8

            You do realise you have named 22 players for a 17 man game...

            Are you Brian Smith himself..???..Trying to keep us guessing...

                  1 player of Origin standard, and he's a friggin peanut headed Qlder. Anyone else scared?
                  That cap shouldn't exceed $2m, let alone $4.5m.
                  We will really need some Bwian magic

                  I saw Kennedy play against the Cowgirls, SKD hit the ball up harder!!

                    I'm only preferring him as a winger if SKD plays centre. They are pretty interchangeable in my opinion.

                    Guerra is a backrower, but word is that he has been training in the centres.

                    As for PTB's comment, Williamson Guerra Conn Jones and Kennedy are all only reserve players, but could be selected form and injury permitting. I am not 100% sure of how some of the players are recovering, especially with JWH injured now too, Kennedy is almost a shoe-in.

                      even though skd has been doing some training at centre, thankfully he hasn't exactly been impressing in that position.

                                I think you'll find Brian Smith's a myth.

                                as is Du Plessis.
