He's still being talked about in all the social media etc. - hopefully he's still coming.

Agree with previous poster: worst-case scenario is we push Prior up to prop and play Cam Smith at 13. We do have some options but Ava was really solid - at the moment we have just swapped one decent prop for a slightly better one, but we struggled last year up front.

Agree. We also had Ward playing well in the back row early doors and Cuthbo. Neither of which we have now

We also have a fit Holroyd who i expect will improve and play more minutes this season.

I'd want to start as big and aggressive as we can. I'd be tempted to start with thompson at loose.

Yes I would too. IMO playing that way suits early season conditions

Ward played around 65 minutes in the whole of the 2020 season didn't he?


I do understand your point though.

I dont know how you can say ward was playing well when he did less than 80 minutes.
