Just wondering what people feel will be your 1st choice 17 for the upcoming season.

Reckon the side that played TO last weekend was as close as it's going to get. Specifically:
Greenshields; Bell, Raguin, Sa, Pelo; Mogg, Bosc; Ferriol, McGuire, Guisset; Elima, Mounis; Johnson. Gossard, Fakir, Walker, Casty.

Would still prefer to see Kane B in there somewhere though.

Ditto!

where is baile a little hard done by, walker ahead of him

Still has a lot to learn about playing centre in the 13-man game. If he's finally had that knee sorted, then great. He represents depth and quality in depth at that, but let's not kid ourselves he's the finished article just yet.

I would have to say being a aussie league fan, both walker and sa can be turnstyles.
I am very surprised raguin gets a go over baile.

Baile is about to start only his second full season in the game and must therefore remain in the 'exciting prospect' category. Raguin is a seasoned pro now, a model pro at that. Baile's time will come.

Cheers hoe you don't mind having a aussie dragons fan on board.

Jeez, no (see, I can type in Australian ). Spread the word far and wide, my new friend.

Welcome aboard!
