Mine would look like this -
Shaul Lancaster Fonua Logan Talanoa Tuimavave Sneyd Watts Houghton Ellis Mini Frank Manu
Taylor Bowden Hadley Abdull
Don't expect this to be it, but it would be mine.
Would put Thompson in for Hadley, if Hadley does get a chance, needs to take it , not been good enough when given the opportunities in the past. Id also start with a fit Pryce at 6 to start the season. Also despite what some have said on here, I've heard Abdull as got the 13 shirt

Abdul wants the 6 shirt. Coaches want him to make it as a 6 not a 13. He's not got the engine for 13 and the coach has built a team to go forward so playing some1 at 13 who be dominated in the ruck wouldn't make sense. Think abdul will get spells at 13 but don't think he'll be our 13. He may well get the squad number tho.
My team would be/also so element of what I think it will be given some things said by coach in paper/radio

Abdull Washbrook Taylor Pritchard
Pritchard will start, he's an 80 minute 2nd row. Think Manu will start at 13 and move in to the 2nd row when Abdull spells Frank/Mini/Ellis.
Something like that i think lol hard to find places for everyone one which shows how strong our squad is this year. Special mention to Logan and Michaels as well who I wish I could have found spaces for.

Pritchard can do 80. Often does 60. If we slug him 80 mins each week at 32 nearly in the 1st yr of a 3yr deal as well as playing extra games a yr in SL when we have 2nd row depth some1 needs shooting imo. Also imo I'd always keep 1 back from mini pritchard n manu. Starting all 3 when defenses are tight and fresh for you to then spell and with no disrespect to whoever comes on lose some of your x factor when the games is just opening up is silly. Benches in the modern game are robotic. Very few teams these days carry players to change the momentum or go for the kill. Personally I'd ride out the 'arm wrestle' then add pritchard and Taylor. Most teams would struggle with that Each of my 2nd rows would be spelled. Mini will benefit from a bit more spelling too. As good as he was he made a mountain of errors and pens. Just cos they can do 80 doesn't mean they should.
