Happy Lindop is starting I’m not a fan of the nonsense of it’s a big game so don’t chance him.

Goalkicker?

Drinkwater used to kick

We have had dispensation for Ratchford to come on and kick the goals and any penalties.

Really nervous for this, could be a drubbing. But then my rational side just thinks 'so what we won our first 8 last year and look how that turned out', plus they're last year's grand finalists, so it's a free hit really.

Anything could happen. But I'd like to see some industry in the forwards with hard running and aggressive defence. I think we can forgive any rustiness regarding set plays and the like as the back line has a few new players.

Agreed. We also have some serious pace in that backline, I suspect King is the only one you wouldn't describe as 'electric'. I'm actually quite looking forward to this.

In terms of the forwards I just hope we can snare another of Mikaele's stature to come off the bench. I think that's where we're going to struggle against the top packs.

Come on, Wire! I just hope that Chris Kendall doesn't turn it into The Chris Kendall Show yet again.

Honestly did not see a lot wrong with that tackle,
