I'd expect/hope to see one of Warren Thompson and Joe Greenwood (2nd row and prop respectively) on the bench rather than having two backs on there. Not ideal, but it would help us to avoid having to put Gardner in the pack again.

Think you are being harsh.

Hale will create a storm and nobody will lay a finger on Hand.

Oh good. Hopefully they will be on the bench.

Is this Jordan Hand up to playing a rotation at prop?

No idea. He looks like a bit of an ogre though:

One wonders if that is how Royce is picking the team at the moment.

He only turned 18 last week, so let's cut the lad some slack. I know he'll certainly give it a bloody good go.

It's great news for him, and also for the Bold Miners club.

Indeed, good luck to him, all the youngsters and the whole team!
