If it’s going to be an arm wrestle I’d go backline of 1 Rapana 2 Barron 3 Hardaker 4 Briscoe 5 Martin All will help out the forwards and have a bit of size abou them, Rapana at full back for kick returns could be vital with his size and the way he runs the ball in.

Could be Barron to make way.

Weather expected to be dry and a pleasant 13 degrees at kickoff so this isn't going to be the usual freezing season opener and that may speed the game up a bit.

[quote="Steve0":3ahxv511]Abdul had the no.6 shirt and was using one of our 3 marquee quota spots, we're now going into the season as a playmaker short and should anything happen to sezer/cust long term, cover is a bit thin on the ground...you could argue it's a bit of a disaster.[/quote:3ahxv511] Dont forget the payoff Steve Abdull was on a three year deal so likey he was given a minimum of 1 year payoff which would not be cheap, Holmes to me is looking to go the same way
