Don't think chan should have been dropped for ferres to take the starting spot. Hope he doesn't take that badly. Chan played well last year ferres hasn't earned it yet. The rest is fair enough.

If Faiumu is hooking, who is playing loose ?

ferres...

or even odonnell/lawrence too depends on the opposition

Don't read too much into the squad numbers, Faiumu will be back up hooker IMO and think Chan and Bruno will be getting game time in the back row. Ferres, Chan and O'Donnell would be the obvious starting 3 for me.

Fielden obviously likes squad number 29 as he has had this for a number of years now and don't see him behind the likes of Johnson and Mulally just at present.

They all have a number now but I guarantee in the first game you won't see 1-13 starting and 14-17 on the bench!!

exactly

Personally I still think we will see Ferres play left hand second row.

Liked grix at full back 2 years ago - good under the high ball - and even better that he will not be exposed in the defense line with his bouncing off people grab tackles.

Paul Anderson gone for much bigger and more conservative. We will be watching different style of rugby this year.

ferguson has dropped down a fair bit hasnt he!

cording and fairbank moved ahead of him i reckon now... needs to knuckle down the lad... but think he will come good again in the 2nd row!

like has been said the squad numbers mean nowt really, if a player starts off well in a position he will keep that place - if not someone else will get it !

eeerrr ...........................is this a new tactic Daz????

well thats the idea ...it may not neccesarily work like that
