Me in at prop! I'm not having that!

I'm a stand off (and yes I'm better than lance)

This should be the first "friendly" of the season, would be good to see pete lining up opposite perry, saddened facing wellens, saintsfan lining up against everyone else! I'll pay good money to see it

I'm hoping to play my way into the mysterious number 12 jersey.

You will just have to be nice to your coach. (don't mention Rush)

We must be good only playing with 1 second row.

...and I lack the... shall we be charitable and say "athleticism" to be a centre... Put another way, I make Stuart Evans look like Jamie Foster... I always got lumbered playing prop at school (and at Union too as we never played League at Cowley ) due to being twice the size of all the other kids and I've not exactly shrunk since

Anyway, if SaintsFan is going to play #6 then I'll volunteer to play #7 so I'll be in a good position to kick her instead of the ball...

I've backed Perry more than anyone and was one if his biggest fans when he was in the NRL. I had a little jiz when I heard we'd signed him.

Towards the back end of last season, I couldn't back him anymore, it was clear the injuries had made him a shadow of his former self.

He's now just a below average prop who's taking up a quota spot and eating a big chunk if our salary cap.

I can't knock McManus for that signing, he was a top class prop at the time but unfortunately it didnt work.

Just for the record, I wouldn't fear Mr Perry one little but up I did play opposite him

Based on what Brown's said and the Huddersfield friendly:

Wellens
Makinson
Turner
Jones
Meli
Gaskell
Lomax
Laffranchi
Roby
Puletua
Soliola
Manu
Wilkin

Hohaia
Perry
LMS
Flanagan

Our pack's looking quite strong in my opinion, and I like the idea of Hohaia off the bench.
