Some stated we had a pack that's better than most in SL. I'm not so sure, as too much rests on Vaughn's shoulders for me, as he's the only prop we have who is better than Cooper or Hill. And, that's Cooper and Hill at their best. The rest have massive question marks against them. Time will tell.
Hmmm. Not sure how wise it is to have Minikin on the bench rather than Holroyd or Whitehead. We shall see.
I would have thought there was enough utility experience in Thewlis, Mata'utia, Ratchford and Ashton, who can all play full back and anywhere in the threequarters. Currie and Nicholson can both fill in at centre as needed.
I would have thought Whitehead would have earned that bench spot. Happy to be proven wrong though.
