@Canes4life take Lomax , Barrett, and possibly Roigard out of the mix it's gonna b along season , loose forwards very average as are locks , backs maybe but won't mix it with the big boys

@Winger our best side (if selected) can match it with anyone IMO. The test will be when some of those guys are rested or are injured. I feel like this is the case with most teams now though. There doesn’t seem to be the strong underbelly of depth anymore. Which is why a team like the Crusaders are having to sign the likes of Leigh Half-Penny and Ryan Crotty for example.

@frugby over Lomax? Lomax is the starting AB tight-head haha.

Based on the above updated squad list, the following positions have yet to be announced - 1x prop, 1x lock, 2x loose forwards, 1x centre. These will be announced in tomorrow's squad naming.
Prop: I have no idea who the last prop will be but I assume it will be a tight-head, I wonder if they will go with Pasilio Tosi or try and sign Owen Franks again.
Lock: I'm assuming the last locking positon will go to Justin Sangster. We need experience and he's been around for a few years now.
Loose forwards: I'm picking the last two loose forward positions to go to Brayden Iose and Caleb Delany (who can also cover lock).
Centre: no surpises here, I think we'll keep Peter Umaga-Jensen.

Think you've nailed it, with Tosi over Franks.

So so so glad we've re-signed Delany and Sangster. I'm so much happier about this side now knowing those two have been signed up.
Shame Morgan is still there, would have loved to sign McClutchie.
Interesting that on the Instagram post they've lumped Jordie with the inside backs.
