It looks like the squad is complete or almost anyway, if everyone is fit what 17 would you go for,
Id go for Gaz obrien Johnson Welham Sau Vatuvei Lui Littlejohn Kopczak Tomkins Tasi Jones Hauraki Flanaghan
Brining Nbawarki Mossop Mccarthy
Leaves us with G Griffin Evalds Olpherts Burgess Levy Bibby Lannon Wood Bennion Murray
Decent squad really id like a new centre and winger but lots of strength in the props area

To be honest, we're just chopping a few positions. In reality, everyone's choice is okay with me.

So Evalds isn't #1 full back in peoples estimation?
Shocked by that, really shocked.

I think they're both great but bring very different qualities to the team. I know stats shouldn't be read into, especially in isolation, but consider that we only won 3x league games with Evalds at fullback last year... Including the 8s. If we have a similar gameplan as last year, O'Brien should be a shoe in. Hopefully we'll have multiple gameplans and be able to take advantage of them both fully throughout the season though... Or is that being too hopeful?!

You've all forgot Nzongzou! Anyone who can say his name in anything but Vic Reeves’ “UVAVU” voice is a better man than me.

You've all forgot Nzongzou! Might be worth remembering... The boys have certainly been keeping trim over the pre-season.

Who's that between O'Brien and Griffin? Think the players need to make Junior shave that mop off

Or is that being too hopeful?! That for me was one of the problems last season, we had no plan B so when everyone spotted the GOB wide link it was so easy to snuff our attacking threat, with such a big aggressive pack I can see us trying to stream roller teams rather than create chances with nous, just hope Lui and JLJ are given a little license to show their flair going forward. Think deep down Evalds is the much better quality fullback of the pair, while he might not create the chances GOB does his finishing and knack of being in the right place at the right time is unquestionable, quiet honestly if there is a way both need to be in the 13.
