We have a lot of experience in our ranks.I don't see a reason why this squad can't maintain the intensity required.To be in this position now compared to the beginning of the season and most of the season really just goes beyond words.
I do think the experience on the park can outplay both mentally and physically any of the opposition this time round.Game management will be clearer to see,something we lacked last season.I believe we have a totally fit squad going into the 8's and some depth in structure.
Strange season, a little like tuning a piano,but I think its ready to be played.

Don't get me wrong I feel for some of the lads who will miss out but we need to have a good go this year and that is why DB has put all he has in we are never going to compete with sl clubs with good championship players so if that means replacing them at the bisness end of the season then wheeled that axe..

Maitua, higson and spencer would be in for me. Since bradford higson has been our best threequarter. I would not play burns unless we get injuries. Are we good enough, i think we can do it, but its going to be seriously tough, but we are in a far stronger position to last year.

I agree with almost all of that, although I suspect there are currently more players above Tom in the prop pecking order. (MoiMoi, Weston, Tickle, Acton, Hopkins, or even the likes of Hock or Hansen) |

That would have been a very good SL pack 2 or 3 years ago.

First 17 from the first page, apart from Dixon or Acton out, maitua in. Bags some vital tries, gives us much more strike on the edges than either of the other two.

| Quote Mookachaka="Mookachaka"I think so, with the addition of Drinkwater, Brown, Burns etc.. we might give people a run for their money. I think the best team going into the 8's is this:
1. McNally
2. Brown
3. Smith
4. Worthington
5. Dawson
6. Ridyard
7. Drinkwater
8. Moi Moi
9. Higham
10. Weston
11. Hock
12. Patterson
13. Hansen
14. Burns
15. Tickle
16. Acton
17. Dixon
Reserve squad:
Pownall
Higson
Tonga
Armstrong
Kay
Foster
Reynolds
Spencer
Hood
Hopkins
Maitua
Harper
Whiting'"
I think Tonga did well today and wonder if he was fit & ready earlier but saved for the next "Stanza" lol (can't believe i saod Stanza)  |

Big Willie was fit four weeks ago, the physios and coaches have been getting his game fitness up and working on preventing the injuries recurring with special sessions for him. Great "new" signing for the 8's!
